HARDCORE CHILLOUT 018 ARIO

Momentの出演者たちの現場でのサウンドを解放するシリーズArchives第12弾
は二日目の夕暮れから始まったAstral IndustriesのレーベルオーナーArioのセット。

ミニマルで催眠的なトラックを次々と重ね、そして日が沈み始めると、彼はDJブースの中で静かに築いていた高次元的な構造を展開し始めた。それは、深いサイケデリックなグルーヴとアシッドに浸ったトラックの記念碑で、まるで異次元からのメッセージのようだった。そんな彼のセットを是非お楽しみください！

For the 12th installment of Archives, we're delighted bring you Ario's absolutely transcendent set from the second night of Moment this year.
As the head of Astral Industries, Ario is perhaps best known for his impeccable curation of category-defying music that straddles cosmic ambient, deep techno, sounds from future civilizations, and songs pulled straight from the void. For this year's Moment, we asked Ario draw from the more dancey and deep regions of his musical interests - and the set he delivered took the audience on an unforgettable trip!
Starting from the late afternoon, Ario's mix gets right down to business, building up layer upon layer of minimal, hypnotic cuts that propelled us into the night. As the sun set and the lazer displays began to materialize in the forest, Ario started to unfold the upper-dimensional structure he had been patiently sculpting behind the decks: a monument of deep psychedelic grooves and acid-drenched bangers towering above the dancefloor like a message from beyond. Enjoy!

Moment Archives 012 | Ario

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.

Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.

This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.

Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.

Delayed with... Ario (at La Nature Festival 2024)

For this special edition of the Bloom Loops podcast, we're honoured to welcome Ario — founder and curator of the acclaimed Astral Industries label. Widely respected for its impeccable curation and timeless releases, Astral Industries has carved out a unique space in the world of ambient and experimental electronic music, with each release offering a meticulously crafted sonic journey.

In this recording, Ario brings that same curatorial sensibility to the decks, guiding us on a deep and expansive journey. It begins with a psychedelic abduction to another world, and as the mix gradually unfolds you emerge into an expansive world of progressive and vintage tech house before dissolving into deep, swirling tribal techno. True to Ario's refined aesthetic, it is a set that balances both introspection and propulsion. 

Recorded in Hong Kong, at a secret location, this mix is a teaser for the upcoming Rebloom event on Saturday 17th May—where Ario will return to the Rebloom booth for our birthday celebrations, with a special closing set. 

Lock in, drift away and enjoy! Take me to your leader 🛸

"I’ve always been sensitive to my surroundings and the world is in a very vulnerable place at the moment. I felt I needed to express my true emotions through something a little bit different to a conventional DJ mix and also that just writing one song was not going to be enough.

It was almost like composing a score, the only difference being that the pictures were only in my head. My ambition was for the music to evoke a visual response in the listener rather than just an emotional one. To do that I took some audio snippets of real life current affairs scenarios that really struck a chord in me and then used my DJ instinct to think of a track/musical piece that would fit well to that particular scene. Sometimes when I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted I added my own music over existing music or did my own sound design to create my own sound effects and also wrote some original pieces in the moment. It was very important to me to create ultimate flow and I felt this could only have been achieved without having any beats supporting the music. I also didn't want to make it eclectic nor constant as I felt that would disrupt the listener’s focus emotionally. There is a strong dynamic range throughout similar to classical music and also some parts that are almost meditative and then in contrast some more intense moments.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it." - @MatthewDekay

Welcome to the 52th episode of the Stellar Series. As now we are fighting against overheating, here's a poetic preview of the cold winds to come in the few months. 

Scannt, hailing from Prague, is a day-dreamer captivated by the realm of sound. Marek has been active in the scene since 2009 and went through a few different genres before finally settling down somewhere between dub techno and ambient - doing his best to find a new path here and there when composing, avoiding the standard structures. In 2019 he released his first vinyl titled “Planets” on Come In Records (@cir000), you can also find his previous EPs and singles on labels such as @d-m-t-records, @harmony-rec or @xionlabel / @anskrmelec. 
He took the picture at the Great Wall, two years ago.
