Plato in a feedback loop.
Echoes of a world we can’t see, made audible for a moment, then gone.
What you hear is already fading. An echo of the real, passing through the machine.
Improvised forms. Imperfect copies. Temporary truths.

ambient live set at Halle am Berghain - New Year 2024

The recording of my set from La Nature Festival, recorded 12-3PM on a glorious sunny Sunday on the 23rd of June 2024.

This was one of my favourite sets this summer, I was so honoured to be playing before the legendary DJ Nobu, and spent time preparing for this set gathering bright~dubby~daytime techno with a zippy flair and uplifting energy 🧚

The set features lots of tracks I’ve been enjoying this summer, including music by: Tsott, GiGi FM, Azu Tiwaline, Vladw, Al Wootton, Sindh, Luigi Tozzi, Konduku, Stojche, Ness, Ruman, Rene Wise, Fireground, Forest On Stasys, Kohra & Midnight Traffic +++

The woodland location of this Belgian festival was stunning, and playing on this delicious Lambda Labs sound system was such a treat. Thanks again to Julien @noname_community & Daniel[i] @danieli_whs for the invitation to join this year’s edition 🧡🌲

Observatory 099 - Sungate [with Ilayruni & Hakk]

fl_000 has been shaping dancefloors for over a decade, but his story begins on the other side—as a raver immersed in Berlin’s legendary club scene. Drawn in by the pulse of the music, the architecture, and the community, he found a new rhythm that reshaped his life. His sets reflect that origin: raw yet refined, rooted in vinyl and built on a deep understanding of groove. With releases on rauh, Turnland, and his own label just stretchin’, as well as a steady hand in organizing events in Hanover, fl_000 keeps the spirit of his early days alive while carving out new sonic paths.

For his "Delayed with…" contribution, fl_000 delivers a mix that drifts effortlessly through the deeper, warmer edges of electronic music. It opens in a haze of dubby echoes and jazz-tinged vocals before shifting into a rich blend of character-heavy tracks. The pace is patient. There are no sharp turns, just a sense of movement, steady and fluid, like a thought you can’t quite pin down. It’s the kind of mix that mirrors spring’s unpredictable moods, fluid, textured, and full of subtle surprises.

Observatory 107 - Sungate [Dino Sabatini & Moy Santana]

Amsterdam’s Ratherlost crew has spent the past few years perfecting the art of the marathon rave. Their home base is Lofi, a cavernous warehouse where sound, light, and visuals fuse into long-haul journeys that stretch well past the 18-hour mark. But epic runtimes mean nothing without the right hands at the controls, and Ratherlost has proven it knows how to curate, pace, and execute like pros.

Lofi’s two-floor setup allows for shifting moods: daylight hours wander through deep, dubby techno, slowly morphing into faster, syncopated rhythms as night tightens its grip. Pacing is everything in a space like this. And when it comes to the craft of pacing, few do it better than Bas Dobbelaer.

Bas is one of our favorite DJs for a reason. He understands that a warm-up set is an architecture rather than just background noise. It shapes the room, sets the tone, and welcomes dancers into the story. The mix we’re thrilled to share today was recorded live at Ratherlost’s Easter Sunday session at Lofi, where Bas shared the bill with artists like Aaron J, Na Nich & Vera Logdanidi, Aurora Halal, DVS1, upsammy, Occa, Agonis, Dasha Rush, Seb H, and Oscar Mulero. Quite the roster.

In the face of that stacked lineup, Bas delivered a masterclass in restraint and elegance. His three-hour set unfolds like a novel, tracing dub techno’s DNA across the past two decades. The vibe is timeless, spacious, and beautifully measured, a perfect example of how to warm up a warehouse without blowing the doors off too soon.
This is precisely the kind of DJing we live for: subtle yet commanding, hypnotic yet full of life. Clear your next 180 minutes. Plug in. And get a little Ratherlost yourself.

Check the full tracklist on our website: https://openlab.fm/news/observatory-108-sungate-with-anastasiia-slutska-hakk

Welcome to episode number 108 of Observatory by Sungate Records

Opening this edition, Anastasiia Slustska sets the tone with a slow-burning, dub-influenced set. Spacious, textural, and deliberately paced, her selection draws from the outer edges of techno and ambient, at the soundsystem meeting point.

In the second hour, resident Fran Domingo (Hakk) picks up the thread and gradually tightens the focus. His mix builds tension through ambient sounds, charred breakbeat, chugging electro, and lisergic chants of the rave continuum.
