Inspired by aviation and over time evolved into a vehicle for deep and eccentric electro expeditions. Mysterious synths and turbulent drum-machine grooves are fused with glass-breaking bass and other-worldly sound-design. Sharp, sparse, dancefloor-centric electro and techno rhythms being joined by foreboding dub textures and alien electronics. It is this significant developed style that affirms his position as a cutting-edge artist who blurs pre-ordained genre boundaries with an expansive trademark sound.

Timnah Sommerfeld’s signature approach to earthy dance music has been tried, tested and approved by swinging hips all over Europe. Developing her style from age 17 onwards, when she started playing in squats and industrial spaces around Basel, she’s continuously making her mark with warm, reverberating techno cuts from across the spectrum. During her residencies at Hinterhof Bar and nowadays, Elysia, Sommerfeldt’s sets fluently cover (and transcend) shades of electro, techno and house music, establishing her as a firm favorite amongst dancers and peers. Smooth mixing skills, strong emotional narratives and an intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics continue to define her style, seamlessly cruising through the small hours of the night.

Recording of Estrato Aurora's live at les Chaos Ambiants 2024

As a producer, Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora has been in the studio for more than two decades working with analogue machines and all sorts of junk… He is also a member of the Pajaro Dune project together with David Ortolá.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Onyro x Ouroboros presents Omoiyari w/ Vardae, Sindh, Toé Verveine and R-010

Omoiyari (思いやり) is a Japanese concept that roughly translates to "consideration" or "empathy." It embodies the idea of being aware of others' feelings and needs without them having to express them explicitly. It’s a philosophy of life where one acts with kindness and respect, anticipating what might make others feel comfortable and valued.

"Flickers of interference, a signal drifting through the void. Distant hums tremble within the static—a transmission suspended in the vast unknown. Then gravity takes hold, and the path becomes clear: a steady motion, guided by the cold glow of the moon. Shifting shadows, uncertain reflections, a descent into depth without losing direction. Echoes pulse with a deep rhythm, and textures unfold like whispers in the dark. The sound is hypnotic, atmospheric. It leads."

Moon Patrol is the musical project of Irina Kotik (@irina-kotik) and Gilles Wasserman (@gilleswasserman), co-founders of the Brooklyn-based platform Delayed (@itsdelayed). Their work has appeared on labels like Oslated, On Board Music, SoHaSo, Huinali, and others. Moon Patrol drifts between frequencies—half dream, half pulse. Shaped by shifting moods and shared silence, their sound moves from warm electronica and lush ambient to shadowy techno and back again.

"The site remains open. A heavy warmth hangs in the air, humming faintly through the layers. Beneath the familiar grain of stratum TD-6, something shifts - subtle, almost liquid. A trace of heat runs across the timeline, unsettling its order. The sediment stirs; a soft crimson flicker rises, then fades. Perhaps Triana, or something far more ancient. The "Estrato Aurora" evolves, unbroken. The rhythm deepens, folding in on itself. The digger no longer seeks - he listens."

Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora (@lovebas) is also the half of Pajaro Dune project (with David Ortolá). He has been an integral part of Valencia's underground music scene. Jaime as a Dj and producer has more than 2 decades in the studio working with analogic machines and a whole kind of stuff. He defines himself as an Atmospheric music worker. His line on the last years has leaded to publish on known labels such as: Alpenglühen, Bliq Rec, Appian Sounds, On Board, Dial Rec. Discos Pandémicos, HC Records or Danza Nativa.

This set was recorded during Pepa's birthday! We’re taking the opportunity here at HOC Radio to wish her a happy birthday. From here, these airs that appear throughout the set, Sevillian and Flamenco, also as a dedication to the entire region.

"A gentle forest clearing at golden hour. The filtered sun moves lazily through leaves that rustle with quiet purpose. Somewhere nearby, water trickles over mossy stones, and a bird calls once, then is silent. I sit cross-legged on the soft earth, breathing in the stillness. The music doesn’t impose - it simply exists, like dew or wind, cradling the moment without asking for attention."

Baldman (@baldmankid) is a DJ from Pozoblanco (Córdoba) based in Madrid, known for performing across clubs throughout Spain. His style is twofold: on one side, a dynamic club persona—spontaneous and versatile—ranging from early warm-ups to peak-hour sets, blending classic house, techno, UK influences, and experimental sounds across any BPM. On the other, a more introspective approach focused on mood and context, exploring ambient, ethereal, and experimental music. This duality showcases the depth and versatility of his artistic expression.

Recorded a year ago at Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular).

Samuel van Dijk releases his third album as VC-118A on Delsin Records. It dives deep into the sonic narrative of VC-118A —who is also known as Mohlao— and mixes up his unique sounds with evocative musical imagery. An album that goes from sparse, mysterious grooves to shiny underwater electro to frazzled and distorted techno via absorbing passages of ambient and overdriven machine workouts.
