Is that a self-mastering? Very rich sound into 3D space.

We’re so honoured to welcome Refracted to The Observatory, whose sonic explorations have inspired us deeply over the years <3

This spellbinding set was recorded live last month during Astral Industries’ takeover at Resør Listening Room in Berlin.

Musician, producer and audio engineer Andrew Nerviano’s work under the Plebeian moniker over the past several years is nothing if not distinctive; a heady blend of syrupy low-end, delicate sonic accents, and swirling rhythmic figures that give his work a hypnotic, psychedelic quality that’s as evocative as it is unique. He has released albums on Eternal Ocean, Grid, Pseudonym Records, and Molten Moods as well as contributed to releases for Sure Thing, Isabelline, UWU Dust Bath, and Index.

Pacing the Platform 28 w/ upsammy on NTS (12.06.25)

For our twenty sixth instalment we’ve invited Minù Jr, a DJ and producer based in France. He describes himself a as multifaceted project in constant evolution, always in search of new influences.

His music stands out with a hypnotic universe that blends deep techno pulses with sound experiments, creating an immersive atmosphere during his sets.

Last year, he joined the roster of the Lyon-based collective/label Monochrome, releasing an EP titled Qabam — four tracks of synthetic drum’n’bass tinged with dub.

Lately, he has been exploring live performance alongside another producer in the same genre, Tampo.

Some words about this mix:
“In this mix, I've embraced a slower tempo, which has been captivating me lately. Tracks with lower BPMs have become increasingly appealing, and I've been producing quite a few of them recently. They play a key role in my live set with my friend Tampo.

This podcast maintains a steady pace at 120 BPM, featuring tracks from artists I've been listening to for a while, along with some new discoveries.
I hope you enjoy this humble journey.”

HYPNOSIS 026 MINÙ JR

After an extended pause for much needed rest and slow reflection, the Patterns of Perception crew is excited to return to our mix series with fresh energy and a stellar new mix from Jasmin, aka softi (@jazz_brown). 

Soulful, breezy and groove-laden, softi's Patterns of Perception 122 shimmers with her kaleidoscopic, minimal sound. Weightless sparks float and flicker in dim light. Time dilates; seasons drift.

A few thoughts from Jasmin:

Hey Jasmin, how’s it going? What's been happening for you lately?
I’m well, I’m currently living between Lisbon and London this summer which has been a dream! Great food, beach sessions and writing music. It’s been a wild 3 months and I’m just getting myself ready for the seasons changing!

What can you tell us about your mix?
For this mix I wanted to mould my love of groovy minimal and psychedelic tones for the moody season ahead, which is usually my signature sound! I have been producing a lot of this recently and some of my unreleased bits are exclusively inside 💜

⁠Is there a track or tracks that are extra special for you?
I’d probably say my own productions are the special to me as it reminds me of how much I have developed as a producer and artist. I love connecting with the tracks and being able to create my own atmospheric world for listeners to get lost in. But one track that I always come back to is "bluep" by Underground City Loop (a producer from Aus). I have been playing this track for years and it has every sonic element you'd want from a track - low end sub groove with dark melodic synths.

Detroit’s Craig Gonzalez was drawn to vinyl from a young age, captivated by hip hop and the underground party scene of the 1990s. This fascination quickly evolved into a lifelong passion for DJing, driven by a desire to weave rhythmic layers into compelling, personal stories. 

A self-taught artist, Gonzalez’s collection spans the rich musical evolution of Detroit, including techno, house, hip hop, funk, dnb, and a diverse range of other genres. His skills were further honed during his residency at Solar in Ann Arbor, where he shared the decks with renowned artists. Gonzalez has also been a frequent fixture at Movement and other major local events, where he’s shared the stage with legends in the electronic music scene. Since 2022, he has been a resident DJ for the Third Thursday monthly event by Paxahau, further cementing his presence in Detroit’s vibrant nightlife scene. 

Deeply influenced by the musical depth of Detroit and the hypnotic craft of global artists, Gonzalez’s style reflects a rich, interconnected network of like-minded creators. His connection to family, history, and the culture surrounding electronic music gives his sets a profound sensibility, effortlessly translating onto the dance floor.

Midgar is finally reaching the 10th release with MDG008, a rich ensemble of live jams, adapted to the vinyl format by ambient specialist Shaded Explorer. The record opens with the bleeping saucer Emerald Weapon, activating hyperspace mode as the sidereal ambiances take over in the middle of the track. Skyward follows up with thunderous kicks, adding consistency to the groove but keeping focus on windy atmospheres. The slow-builder Shaded Gems reset the pace on the Bside, where the italian artist fully express the solemnity of the machines. Underwood ends the record with natural textures: a sonic representation of Mother Nature waking up the forests using bright pads and perpetual chirping. Uncanny vibes in Naive's Reality, track which is perfectly resuming Shaded Explorer signature: evocative melodies and organic percussions. This last track will be released digitally with the record, in free download.

Release date : October/November 2016
