"Venus appears to me in a dream. The sky is cloudless and I drift into a pine forest, mesmerised by the sound of her flute. I find myself entangled in a dance of indecipherable mumblings that, like the woods' inhabitants, change shape when night falls.
I glimpse a luminous mist in the distance, guiding me towards a veiled cedar cabin. I step inside, abandoning myself alongside the other participants. The melody of the flute begins to distort into a fossilised howl, melting into my eardrums and merging with the echoes of a forest that grows ever more distant.
And in the midst of these rustling whispers, I find myself reduced to dust. The flaming light of the cabin will show me the way out: in the fire of darkness, I choose a new life. "

Spanish-born but now based in Milan, Ultramarín (@ultramarin-blau) explores sound as a vessel of shifting consciousness. Embracing deep listening as a core element in her practice, her aim is to expand the boundaries of perception, going below the surface of what is heard. Distinguished by an eclectic approach, her sets span from experimental ambient to downtempo, to hypnotic and avant-garde techno.

Moved by low-end frequencies from an early age, Seb H. (@sebcantmix) hunts for records that carry the hallmarks of dub and soundsystem culture. UK-born, Netherlands-based, he releases his debut EP, ‘untitled’, earlier this year on London-label kinetic. Available both digitally and on vinyl, it combines rolling sub-bass with introspective textures and dancefloor rooted rhythms.

About the mix: “I have three turntables at home now and I've been really enjoying digging for more ambient/abstract/experimental records to make layered collages of sound. So I wanted the mix to start there, then a friend sent me some unreleased tracks he'd made recently and straight away I knew I wanted to include them, which gave me a destination to aim for. Then it was just a matter of finding a route from A to B.”

Same words, different world.

There was a time when the world was quiet. Or maybe it wasn’t the world—maybe it was just me. I remember the silence, the kind that wasn’t empty but full, the kind that settled softly like dusk over a slow-moving river. Back then, my mind was still a place I could rest in, not a storm I had to survive.

It must have started as a whisper, a small ripple in the stillness, something I thought would pass. But it grew until it became everything. Now, the quiet feels like something I dreamed, something too distant to be real. I chase it, reach for it in the rare moments when the chaos slows.

And I am left here, a drift in the wind, unable to remember what it felt like to simply be.

Sometimes, late at night, when the world is half-asleep, I almost hear it again. A memory of silence, pressed between heartbeats, between the ticking of the clock and the sigh of the wind against the glass. But it never stays. The storm always finds its way back, tearing through my thoughts, scattering them like leaves in a wind I cannot stop.

I wonder - was I ever truly at peace, or was it only the absence of knowing what would come? And if I was, if that silence was real, is it lost forever? Or is it waiting for me somewhere, just beyond the horizon?

I remember the silence (rework)

Sarah Wreath | Recording
The Art Of Listening x Experiment Intrinsic
08–09 June 2025 • OSD Events Berlin

Berlin-based sound artist Sarah Wreath is dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of music. Through frequencies, sound research, and music production, she explores the alchemical properties of sound and its profound effect on the body and mind.

For Sarah, there is no hierarchy between producer and DJ, nor between the club's dancefloor, the acoustic hall, or the meditative sound bath. Each space and role offers a unique opportunity to engage with the intricacies of human perception, delivering deeply immersive and resonant acoustic experiences.

Versatility is at the heart of her style, as she seamlessly navigates a wide range of genres. Her sets take listeners on immersive journeys through space and texture, creating an energy that feels both transcendent and grounded. Tribal rhythms, modular synths, and a touch of experimentation define her unique sonic signature.

Her debut LP, Integration, released on the renowned label The Bunker New York, underscores her commitment to immersive rhythms and sonic exploration - a path that led to her latest collaboration on Sandwell District's album End Beginnings, solidifying her place at the forefront of experimental techno.

But Sarah's vision extends far beyond. Through curated events and gatherings, she creates immersive spaces where sound fosters community, connection, and shared exploration.

His set instantly draws you into his enchanting world, where you're suspended in a lush landscape of sound and texture. Deep, slow tribal rhythms gradually give way to more frenetic, syncopated drum patterns—yet the poetry remains throughout. Our kind of meditation.

Night Train

With the summer festival season drifting into memory, it feels like the right moment to linger on one of the most thoughtfully shaped events in recent years. The Mostra Festival unfolded over the Easter weekend across two Barcelona locations, and what set it apart wasn’t just the programming, but the curation - a balance of trust, patience, and precision. The first two days leaned toward the ambient and the experimental, tipping into rhythm as the nights wore on. Yet the real magic of that opening stretch lay in the beatless hours. Friday in particular offered a moment that still reverberates among Mostra regulars and beyond: Robert Henke’s performance of Dust. If there is any place in the world designed for such a work, Mostra provided the perfect frame. For one afternoon, Henke held the crowd in complete attention and reverence, something essential for any artist, but especially for one whose work is as delicate, shifting, and expansive as Dust.

For many of us, Robert Henke, Monolake to longtime listeners, has been a constant presence in the background of our musical lives. His records shaped taste, his performances redefined how electronic music could be experienced live, and his role as co-creator of Ableton changed the very tools we use to make and share sound. Few artists can claim such a dual legacy: architect of both the music and the machinery. Whether in moments of joy or frustration, whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, it’s impossible to imagine modern electronic music without his fingerprints on it. Henke embodies the link between technological innovation and artistic expression, and his influence runs deeper than most of us can trace.

Dust is perhaps the clearest expression of that link. Powered by a custom granular synthesis engine, it reduces sound to particles, field recordings, analog tones, machine hiss, bells, and waves, then disperses them into clouds that evolve in real time. The result is less like a composition and more like a living organism: fragile, unpredictable, always becoming something new. At Mostra, this unfolding took shape in late afternoon, after Patrick Russell’s set had sharpened the air with its own restraint. Henke stepped in with a 360-degree surround system that transformed the floor of Fabra i Coats into a resonant body. The sound was cosmic and liquid, grainy and immense, stretching outward until it seemed to erase the horizon. Every surface in the space shimmered with detail, as if the air itself had been tuned. What made it remarkable was how fragile it all felt. Nothing was forced; every movement seemed to arise on its own, like dust caught in late-afternoon sunlight. Yet the immersion was total. People surrendered, leaning into the space as if trying to hold onto something that could never be held. For that hour, Mostra wasn’t a festival anymore. It was a room of people floating together in a world made entirely of sound, knowing it would never happen in quite the same way again.
