For this set we tried to stay in between deep hypnotic sound, infused with idm, and bass driven tunes, going back and forth between straight 4/4 kicks and syncopated ones.
Lately got bored really easly from all 4/4 sets and find hard to create a connection with the music with all breaks sets because we can't dance how we'd like to, so for me the solution is to try to find an healthy balance between straight 4/4 and breaks in order to get the best from both styles. Simone also played some unreleased from a friend and himself and was super fun to see people dance to our new music!
We really enjoyed to play at perpendicular, was like a family gathering but for music heads

Perpendicular 2023 - Simone Bauer b2b E L A

For this chapter, we have the DJ set that Aa Sudd performed a few weeks ago at Espacio Perpendicular as part of the pre-show of the Sables Mouvants/Alpenglühen party. Aa Sudd, the German artist who is part of the Konsudd project alongside Konduku, delivered a wonderful ambient and downtempo set, perfectly suited for that afternoon gathering. Following this, we will enjoy Tevor Handa's DJ set, which was performed at the ambient cottage during the Perpendicular Festival in late May of this year. The artist from Seville presented a classic DJ set with a 90's chill-out vibe, skillfully combining various styles, much like the genre's pioneers such as Mixmaster Morris or Alex Patterson.

Our latest Podcast chapter comes in the form of a mesmerising all-vinyl set by the Spanish duo Binomi, interweaving experimental, psychedelic and avant-garde ambient music from across the decades with personal field recordings. Recorded live at the Hangar in Barcelona as part of the 2023 edition of Mostra, it is a dreamy two-hour sound adventure sprinkled thorough with the dusty film of gentle record crackles and pensive undertone. 

"How to translate a friendship of more than 10 years into a mix? After a long coexistence, the pandemic represents a hiatus in our musical relationship. Mostra23 is the perfect excuse and the best stage to resume it. A new sound has emerged in us, complicity, laughter, and goosebumps confirm it. The set configured with 3 turntables and accompanied by field recordings made in Australia and Tasmania form a soundtrack of shared sensations across the distance. Through genres, we define our experiences; new age, drone, experimental or avant-garde music, minimalism, and psychedelia can be its labels. Who knows, we just hope it transports you to places as distant or as close as those it evokes for us. It has been a real pleasure."

Binomi are Jordi Aparicio and Joan Gila, both from Tarragona, Spain. Avid collectors of records, their search for sound brought them together in Barcelona more than a decade ago.

HOCast #169 - mouseDown (ABSIS) - Paral·lel 2019

"In the sonic domain, rhythmic hypnosis unfolds—a horizontal odyssey where ambient melodies dance gracefully above deep sounds landscapes. Minimal underground beats and textures clandestinely entwine, creating a mesmerizing journey from inception to culmination. It's a captivating exploration, an elusive dance that beckons into a beautiful and enigmatic realm of sound."

Kizen records (@kizenrecords) founder Romi (@romi808) has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output.

HOCast #170 - Romi

@morphingterritories

Morphing Territories’ music explores the delicate balance between power and emotion. Its timeless approach to techno is based on the hypnotic, unpredictable atmospheres of modular synthesis and field recording.

Inspired by the nature of his native Switzerland, Morphing Territories is on a boundless quest to per-fect the beat. Through tireless improvisation and introverted self-discovery, his finely-sculpted sound constructs push the boundaries of both complexity and simplicity.

As an extension of his musical vision, Morphing Territories’ self-titled label presents a full range of psychedelic dancefloor experiences. His own releases there, as well as for labels like KCZ, Oslated and On Board Music, channel spontaneity and even chaos into purist, deeply-affecting techno trips.

The vibe he creates in the studio is developed further by his journeying DJ or live sets, as well as by his mix series Sense. Altogether, the distinct avenues create a complete sound world, where the re-lentless beat of a drum, the trails of driving rhythms and the warmth of soaring pads combine into a potent formula.

Human Lessons #079 - Morphing Territories

Podcast #187 is coming at you from London-based Lorenzo Zucchetti aka Formant Value.

In his mix for On the 5th Day, Formant Value takes us on a deep and stunningly emotive sonic exploration through what feels like realms of the human experience. Each intricate sound is a feeling, a memory, a reminder of the essence of all things, of impermanence, and of the beauty of non-conformity. As we surrendered to the journey, with its subtle shifts and delicately expanding emotion, we were reminded to open ourselves to the unfolding of life as it moves through us, and to the continuous cycles and transitions we inevitably encounter.

It's a blissful story that speaks to the soul, received with immense love and gratitude. Thank you, Lorenzo!
