Catartsis (aka Mathieu Bonnafous) is an artist based in Paris. With a background in sound engineering, he discovered concrete music through his studies, which greatly influenced his work. This led him to explore the practice of field recording, which is now the foundation of his creative method. Catartsis confronts the sounds offered by our industrial and natural environment in his organic productions. His search for unique rhythms and textures allows him to create atypical sound pieces that blend genres, borrowing from the English electronic scene, early 2000 and current techno, as well as the new French industrial techno scene. He tries to integrate these trends into his DJ sets, bringing a wide range of sound to dancers and listeners. He co-directs the independent label @ygam with Ōtone.

Guiding you through sci-fi dystopian soundscapes, repetive mind traps and visceral textures, this mix is an invitation to contemplate and question your inner imagination / perceptions - delving within.

Seán is a Melbourne based dj and a member of the mix and events series Manifestation. 

In his sets Seán tries to hone in on a narrative, often underpinned by organic, glitchy productions intertwined with stripped back, unstable rhythms.

The narrative for Nebuleuse was inspired by the modern day fable “The Mysteries” by Bill Watterson. It begins with bleak and mysterious soundscape, broken by an ethereal realisation. The pace of the mix hurtles forwards from here, despite warnings, starting bright and hopeful before mutating towards a forewarned dark finish.

Blume, emerging from the vibrant tapestry of South America's electronic music scene, has now made Europe her second home. After spending five formative years in Amsterdam, she has chosen Berlin, the pulsating heart of artistic expression, as her latest base.

Establishing her online record store, Format Wars, in 2019, and hosting and curating associated pop-up events, she is a DJ whose deconstructed club-centric sound moves inwards from the peripheries of dance music. With sets that are unlimited and freeform, finding inspiration through the sonic qualities she treasures, Blume embraces a broad dynamic that is as heavy in bass and energetic as it is ghostly, glitchy, and atmospheric.

Adding polyrhythms, broken beats, and jungle influences to a sound that seamlessly transitions between dreamy ambient and experimental jazz, Blume's sets are an adventurous exploration of tempo and texture. A familiar face in clubs like Berghain, Tresor, and OHM in Berlin, as well as at events such as co:clear in Glasgow, ADE in Amsterdam, and the esteemed Positive Education festival in Saint-Étienne, Blume also makes her mark online on NTS, Rinse FM, and Refuge Worldwide. In addition, she hosts a bi-monthly radio show on Noods called The Otherness.

Assuming the role of a fully independent DJ, freelance art director, and record shop proprietor, Blume is first and foremost a student of sound. As Format Wars makes inroads to becoming a physical location in 2024, she is dedicating her studies and research further afield to emerging production technologies, generative tools, and Max for Live devices.

With Blume’s stylistic approach, intrepid sound, and quality aesthetic already allied with an international reputation of labels, radios, and local crews, it’s clear the artist’s creative expression, entrepreneurial instinct, and synergism are poised for the future ahead.

Gillan is a Dorset based artist and has been making her mark for the last few years with her eclectic selections in underground dance music, across the different spectrums of Ambient, Experimental, Techno and Trance. The curation of her mixes and sets are wired with a ritualistic intention of connecting us to the other wordly states that psychedelic & cosmic music can put us in, which allows us to form a profound relationship with the ancestral origin of sound and rhythm by connecting us to something so much deeper & greater than us. All carried by the subliminal undertones of how deeply meditative and transcendental music can be. 

Today iteration will be "an exploration of subliminal textures & fast paced rhythms to guide us back to a place that feels familiar but has no name."

#35 - Philip Kylberg - Bottomless Pit

"This mix is inspired by life on a microscopic scale. I drew from two different topics I have been reading about over the past year or two, the first being moss & lichen, and the second being quantum physics. Robin Wall Kimerer’s writing on moss introduces the reader to a tiny world teeming with life beyond our vision, and Carlo Rovelli’s writing on quantum physics attempts to help us understand the minute & strange fabric from which reality is theoretically woven. 

The word subtle can be read as describing something delicately complex & understated, as well as something arranged in an ingenious & elaborate way. Thus, the plane of subtle form paints an image of the intricate realm of the minutiae. Moving through rainforests of moss and gorges of bark, the mix traverses this infinitesimal yet vast expanse. Becoming gradually more abstract towards its centre, things break down completely at a moment of quantum instability, a leap between one state and the next. We emerge into a new place in an instant and continue forth into the strange & unpredictable beauty of our natural world." 

Bio: Born in London & having lived in Bristol, James Laing aka Night Garden draws from the sounds of those two cities, alongside musical knowledge gained during his classical compositional training. With releases on Melifera, Bahn, Indefinite Pitch & Breatice M's hybrid Dubstep label, Bait, Night Garden aims to create richly psychedelic & hypnotic pieces which combine modern sound design with classical theoretical concepts. 

Night Garden is a musical project embodying an imagined space between our conscious reality & the land of dreams. It is a liminal point in space & time; a home to drifting forms & sounds unknown. Suspended in a twilight haze, its nebulous inhabitants float into distant obscurities, shedding ephemeral traces from their transient skin.
