David is a die-hard record collector who has been playing around the North of Spain and across Europe for over fifteen years, particularly in Barcelona where he’s played in most of the main clubs. He normally builds his sets with a selection of hypnotic, tribal and deep music.

For over three years he’s been focused on Escala de Grisos, his monthly local radio show, where he intersperses ambient, techno and anything in between with conversation and interviews around the music.

@timnah-sommerfeldt performed on the second day of #Mostra22 at Hangar. Her set was reproduced for the first time at our 9128.live takeover on 17 September 2022, through @astrangelyisolatedplace: 9128.live/takeover-mostra

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

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.

@balmat_cat DJs (@wooky + @psherburneperformed) on the last day of #Mostra22 at Hangar. Their set was reproduced for the first time at our 9128.live takeover on 17 September 2022, through @astrangelyisolatedplace: 9128.live/takeover-mostra

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Albert Salinas and Philip Sherburne founded the Balmat label in 2021 after three years as co-hosts of Lapsus Radio, a weekly show on Spain’s Radio 3. Balmat’s mission is simple: to foster new ideas, expand upon personal obsessions, and put all-encompassing sounds out into the world. But where Lapsus Radio focuses on a wide range of electronic sounds, encompassing everything from IDM to techno to footwork, the duo’s sets together typically skirt the edges of the dancefoor, if not steering clear of it altogether.

True to the experimental spirit of Mediterranean and Balearic electronic traditions, Balmat DJs are interested in creating enveloping environments that incorporate ambient music, atmospheric soundscaping, and low-BPM rhythms—music with a cloudy outline yet a distinct sensibility.

“Balmat” means “empty” or “void” in Catalan. But quite apart from any negative connotations, they prefer to think of it in terms of possibility: a space waiting to be filled.

@vickisiolos opening set on the last day of #Mostra22 at Castell de Montjuïc. Her set was reproduced for the first time at our 9128.live takeover on 17 September 2022, through @astrangelyisolatedplace: 9128.live/takeover-mostra

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Vicki Siolos is an ambient, experimental DJ and interaction designer from New York City. Her career focuses around creating seamless experiences for broad audiences, using trusted methods and casting personal bias aside. Her mixes are intended as the complete opposite, heard each month on her radio show Bright Patterns: a freeform exploration of internal absolutes among endless options. Each recording is an attempt to capture life in the moment, inviting everything to the surface as it wants to be heard. She’s also contributed several mixes for Mysteries of the Deep, and her release Kintsugi on enmossed is dedicated to the Japanese art that echoes the resilience within each of us.

Originally from Galicia, Alicia Carrera is a visual artist, founder of the @liopress platform and co-founder of the @magacircemusica label with @donato-dozzy.

Constantly exploring new sounds, her sets always depart from the commonplace to recreate movement and evoke a sense of travel. Because when it comes to self-emancipation, the first thing to do is to allow yourself to be transported through your senses.

Nico grew up in a small coastal town in Galicia in the late 80s. In 2008, he started to involve himself with deeper shades of electronic music and their profound sentimental atmospheres. His interest became an obsession, and within two years he began to play in clubs across the Spanish northwest. 

According to the artist, he was influenced by a golden generation of local DJs who helped define and shape his sound in terms of dance music, along with a rounded love of legendary bands and artists from across the musical spectrum. His musical philosophy is that everyone has something to bring, so there is always something to learn. 

In 2015, Nico moved to Barcelona, expanding his horizons both artistically and personally. He’s currently  one of the residents of the renowned Nitsa Club, and together with the duo Binomi, is responsible for HIRU, a multi-venue party across the city designed as an ode to club culture.

Nico prefers not to pigeonhole himself into any particular style, but his sets are nothing short of hypnotic. When he plays, he looks for that peculiar sensory union with the dance floor that connects them without words, seeking to lead the night in the same direction together.

Coming from Japan and living in Barcelona the last five years, Kazumi Sakoda is a curious artist who investigates the differences she finds with the soundscapes of her native Tokyo through the sounds she picks up on the streets of Barcelona.

All this material, she transforms it into cassettes that she makes by hand and through a fine use of looping and sampling techniques she recontextualizes into beautiful soundscapes that travel between ambient and experimental music.

She said in El Prat Radio 91.6 FM: "After the pandemic, everything has changed and people are more sensitive than beforehand. The feelings are stronger than before because we know what is the most important thing in life, what to feel. That is why on the same street there is a quite different experience from before the pandemic.”

Laima Adelaide is a composer and electronic music producer. Her music is inspired by nature and its elements like water and air. Also, there is influence from avant-garde music, as she has studied classical composition in Stuttgart.

Noisy textures, deep hypnotic beats and airy harmony you can find in her music and live performances. She has released on Oslated, Phonotropsimi, Annulled Music and others.

She has her own label Predawn Records focusing on deep and ambient techno.

Hanyo van Oosterom started the ambient collective CHI in 1983. Jacobus Derwort, a musician friend with Hanyo was the first musician to join CHI. Together, they went to the magic rock “The Kallikatsou” on the island of Patmos, Greece.

Here, Hanyo had stayed for months in a cave for some deep soul-searching. He heard CHI in the silence of the night like a message from out of space. Being together at the Kallikatsou they shaped the foundation of CHI, making handmade flutes from local bamboo and conducting field recordings of water, crickets, owls, goats, wind, etc.

After several years of collaborations with musicians like Willem Cramer and Michel Banabila, they decided to start together the beautiful The Chi Factory with which released (with the help of Ario Farahani and his label Astral Industries) some of the most beautiful records in the history of ambient music

Following the passing of group member J. Derwort in 2019, Hanyo van Oosterom’s legacy work brings about the next evolution of the Chi project: Son of Chi.

The sound of Hanyo Oosterom unfurls lushly overgrown 4th world drones, voices, and field recordings, naturally drifting between time-slowing beats, FM radio interference, and languid instrumentation combining the western retro-futuristic point of view, the New Age, and the ancestral eastern tradition.

In 2007 Hanyo invited the legendary Jon Hassell for two magical nights of “instant composing sessions” with the Numoonlab Orchestra in LantarenVenster in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with other special guests like Tony Allen (Fela Kuti), Ursula Rucker, Kain the Poet (Last Poets), Dwight Trible (Art Ensemble of Chicago), Omar Ka, Anthony Joseph, Colonel Red, Joe Bowie (Defunkt) and many more. The recordings are still online.

Arthur Flink was part of this Numoonlab Orchestra. Arthur is a trumpeter and electronic jazz producer from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Previously active in bands like Monsieur Dubois, State of Monc, and their collaboration project Monsieur Dodo, he now releases work through the FLiNK project.

In late 2022 Hanyo van Oosterom (Son of Chi) and Arthur Flink released ‘The Fifth World Recordings’. A tribute to the late Jon Hassell, who passed away in 2021, the album connects a deep running thread that captures perfectly the mysterious and magical world of the American trumpet player and composer.

Enigmatic producer and DJ Aa Sudd (Vector Trancer) explores the more hypnotic and alluring realms of sound. Based in Germany, he delves into irregular rhythms, immersive atmospheres and kaleidoscopic patterns, transmitting his sound via labels such as Midgar or Mirror Zone. With a focus on the captivating and the otherworldly, Aa Sudd delivers enveloping sets and productions, fusing elements of techno and experimental drum and bass to create a psychedelic listening experience.

Aa Sudd collaborated with artist Konduku to form the project “Konsudd” releasing their first EP on the closely connected swiss label Amenthia Recordings (Garçon, Timnah, Agonis) in late 2022.

Puntalaberinto (Patricia Usero) has been immersed in the sonic universe of modular synthesizers and the construction of DIY instruments for more than a decade.

Her live performances go deep, striving to transform the sonic experience into a physical and meditative encounter for her audience.

The modular synthesizer is her main instrument through which field recordings are filtered and mutated, creating hypnotic soundscapes, drone floods, organic textures, powerful subs and evocative dub rhythms.

A weird rift in nature... that deviates from conventional narratives.

Class 1990, @viels was born in a little city outside Milan (Italy). Early in his adolescence he discovered techno culture inspired by a book called “TECHNO“ by Christian Zingales. Having released his first Ep on Initial Berlin in 2015, Viels continued his musical path appearing with a track on the well respected dutch imprint Dynamic Reflection, followed by his debut ep “Distrophism” and contributing for the 10 years anniversary of the label, among some of the most recognised artists in the scene: Donato Dozzy, Mike Parker, Shifted, Oscar Mulero, Blawan, Ness, Jeroen Search and many more.

Co-owner with Francesco della Sala of “End Of Perception”, Viels just released also on label such Warm Up, Non Series, Mord, and Semantica Records.
At the moment he is resident of the Acquario party in Milano and an active part of the organization of it.

With an increasing interest and having performed in quality clubs like Tresor, Perron, Cassette, Schron and shared the booth with the likes of Oscar Mulero, Svreca and Dasha Rush to name a few, Viels is establishing himself as part of a new wave of djs and producers approaching the contemporary techno scene.

Forest Drive West is the alias of producer Joe Baker from Plaistow, East London. His music has created a stir across the UK underground and beyond, with stripped-down, atmospheric and hypnotic techno tracks contrasting with his heavier, jungle-influenced sounds – all with a connecting thread that explores intricate rhythms and inventive percussion.

Since 2016, Forest Drive West has been building a rapidly growing catalogue of releases, receiving critical acclaim for records on labels such as Livity Sound, Ilian Tape and Rupture London. His ‘Jungle Crack' and ‘Set free’ EPs show a stunning command of sound design and complex rhythms, and they remain some of Rupture London's most sought-after releases.

Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the US underground, perhaps one of the last unsung heroes of a now lost era in the Midwest. A genuine sonic storyteller, he magically transforms the diaspora of acid, pure jack energy, and hints of IDM into a deep, fluent sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor.

A Detroit-bred DJ, artist, and producer active since the early 90's, Patrick has now made New York City his home. Perhaps best known as a key figure in the legendary No Way Back parties, his ability to weave intensely unique, long-format narratives has earned him critical acclaim and repeat performances at Japan’s Labyrinth festival, Berghain, Unsound, and DEMF/Movement. Patrick has also been steadily building a strong catalog of high-profile productions to compliment his increasingly varied, hypnotic, and in-demand DJ sets; his recent 3-track remix EP on The Bunker New York also marks his induction as an official resident DJ at the long-running Brooklyn party.

His consummate taste and disciplined execution have created a respect that cannot be purchased. Patrick Russell is not just a name to watch, he is someone to be experienced.

Technology as the number one source of inspiration. Real time musical programming, unlimited improvisation and experimentation. Stretching the boundaries of electronic music.
Atom™ and Tobias. have been two key figures in the development of European ‘techno’ from the very beginning. Active since the 1980s, both artists have represented major cogs in the community. 1990 marks their first collaborative performance in Frankfurt, emerging as one of the first live shows ever played within this scene. From here the two started a journey of sonic explorations which led them to release the mighty “Elektroniikkaa” live recording from Helsinki and Montreux. Their subsequent releases are all derivatives of live performances, which consistently remain the number one focus.

Despite a spatial separation given by Atom’s relocation to Chile and Tobias’ to Berlin, upon reconnecting with the machines in 2003 creative flow surged spontaneously. Throughout the expressive tool of live performance, Atom™ and Tobias are able to create sound through an eccentrical deviation from all musical standards and a total adaptation to their environment.

This is the core of their improvisations: a total abandonment to each other's creativity, in which their consciousnesses merge and flow into the instruments in front of them.
Having both experienced three decades of music and some of the world’s most exceptional dance floors such as Berghain or Panorama Bar, their knowledge of the sonic realm is limitless. Their latest performances have reached clubs such as Kyiv’s Closer to Japan’s Labyrinth Festival in Japan.
