such a fun night thanks for having me in Breda @mezzbreda :) :)

"We recovered a treasure from just over 4 years ago. A treasure from the legendary mouseDown set at Parallel in 2019. We advance the Christmas gift a few weeks so that you can enjoy and teleport to the Pyrenees once again with this vinyl set that is a fantasy. Enjoy!"

Recorded vinyl set at Paral·lel Festival 2019 (@parallelfestival).

ABSIS -now (@absismusic) and MouseDown -before, also known as Salva Coromina, has been a regular DJ in the Barcelona scene since the late 90’s under a different alias: mouseDown/mouseUp. He was a resident DJ at The Loft and a regular at Sónar, both in Barcelona, for many years. ABSIS has always been exploring the deepest side of electronic music which varies between ambient and techno. Next to DJ’ing he is also a producer and you are able to find some of his productions on Hivern Discs, Oslated and many more.

MUSIC, NATURE & INTIMACY

Paral·lel Festival is characterized by a curated musical selection that is largely based on uniqueness and promoting differentiated musical paradigms. Trying to move away from massification, we created an intimate event with a limited capacity.

The recording of my set at Mostra 2024 @mostrabcn 🤍

I had the joy of playing a sunny afternoon set 15:00-17:30 before Konduku, so I kept things bright & groovy 🌻🧚🌞

This set features some IDM, electro and minimal tracks I haven’t played out in years, alongside recent releases I’ve been enjoying.

The whole festival was beautifully programmed and curated, and I heard many inspiring sets throughout the weekend in the iconic grounds of the Castell De Montjuïc. 

Many thanks to F-on & @mostrabcn for the invitation to join this gathering of like-minded artists 🏰🖤

Aspetuck (DJ Set), Live at HYPNO

"Magic emanates from the Temple, guiding us through a sensory journey in constant motion. From deep, intriguing frequencies that stir the soul, to delicate, shimmering soundscapes reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's ethereal worlds. A masterpiece woven in waves - raw, immersive, and alive - urging you to feel, imagine, and connect."

d_o_ppelgaenger (@d_o_ppelgaenger) - aka David Ortolà - is a pianist, composer, producer, and educator. He is a partner in Estrato Aurora alongside Jaime Romero - aka Pajaro Dune (@pajaro_dune) - and co-founder of the newly launched Sediments label. The label’s inaugural release is also d_o_ppelgaenger’s debut solo album, Live at Perpendicular (2024): https://sedimentslab.bandcamp.com/.

His music and live performances explore the boundaries between acoustic and electronic soundscapes, weaving a narrative sound design that thrives on contrast and tension. Employing a wide range of aesthetics, often juxtaposed in a chiaroscuro of styles and ideas, d_o_ppelgaenger blends classical instrumentation, electronic synthesis, field recordings, and SuperCollider-based tools. His work traverses the liminal space between divergent musical languages, aiming to create immersive perceptual experiences that seek to bridge the gap between the familiar and the incomprehensible.

HOCast #216 x temple chptr. 5 - d_o_ppelgaenger - LIVE

A few months ago, we had the chance to play at an event in Brooklyn, part of a small “Oslated gathering.” The lineup included our own Aspetuck and Moon Patrol, along with Vice City making her NYC debut, and event organizers - Buusto, co-founder of Club Dub Radio, and Maharam, a resident of Club Dub and organizer of Final Passage events. The night brought together a close-knit crowd and a shared love for deep and dub techno. For us, one of the highlights was connecting with Justin (Buusto), Avi (Maharam), and Nathan (Apok), the minds behind the event they aptly named Drift. Buusto and Maharam brought their passion and skill to the decks, making the night something special. We’re especially excited to feature Maharam’s set as part of our “Delayed with…” series.

Maharam opened the night, and it's not a secret that we're big believers in the art of a proper opening set. Maharam delivered one of the best we've heard in a long time. Despite its brevity at just 60 minutes, the set was a masterclass in pacing and mood. Creating a journey within such a limited timeframe takes real skill, and Maharam made every moment count. He explored the deeper end of the spectrum, guiding us through dubby textures, breakbeats, and bass-heavy grooves—perfectly setting the stage for what came next. If we had to choose, we couldn't imagine a better way to kick off the night.

It's always inspiring to connect with emerging talent in our scene who gravitate toward the more refined side of electronic music. Maharam and Buusto are both names to watch, and we're sure this is just the beginning of what they'll bring to the table. Keep an ear out for more from them—we certainly will.

It's an honour to welcome the lovely Joan Gila to The Observatory <3

A passionate music lover and record collector for over half his life, Joan is the curator of HOC Radio and a really beautiful label known as red edge (highly recommended if you're not familiar! stunning releases by ABSIS and Bastien <3). Alongside Javi .apart and his friend Jordi, with whom he runs the Binomi project, he co-hosts MostRadio.

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."
