Joan Gila Binomi

The second week of August 2022.
Oslated Special Mix 023 - Joan Gila

HOC Radio
Tarragona
Spain

Joan Gila is defined as a music eater. He has been collecting records since he was 15, and his great passion is searching from box to box and discovering jelly beans. He is the thinking head and curator behind the HOC radio podcast platform. Joan is also a part of the DJ duo Binomi alongside his longtime friend, where they have played across different venues in Barcelona and others. They recently released a music talk show at Dublab Barcelona called Geography and History, give it a listen to get to know more about the duo.

A history/mix composed of titles of each track, walking you through an entry into planet earth and guiding you back through the exit. A journey experienced through the perspective of a foreign entity viewing our planet, always hidden, peacefully observing. 

The podcast is built around the concept of track titles. Subjectivity is always present, especially in muzak music that leaves out text. Each author proposes a title based on an idea, and this is how this journey is built. Something coming from somewhere in the universe, quietly entering into planet Earth, observing; the atmosphere, the forest, the oceans, the people, its dance… Once done, it moves away from where it has entered, without causing any disturbance.

MFIS LIII ✢ Joan Gila

EMC welcomes Joan Gila!

Joan Gila, a vinyl enthusiast, is the curator of @hoc-radio and also manages a small cassette label focused on ambient, avant-garde, and experimental music called @red-edge-label. He is part of the duo @binomi with his friend @slim-jordi.
This DJ set was recorded in Madrid at the Temple event, curated by @machines-desirantes and @javier-camunas, which takes place at @espacio-perpendicular, an intimate venue with exquisite sound. This particular set is Temple 03 featuring @hardcore-chillout, and it's an exercise in mixing and merging an older record from around the 80s with a new one, playing with them in such a way that the listener doesn’t know where they are. 

Enjoy!

E.M.C. atmospheres - Joan Gila (vinyl set)

Thursdays are for throwbacks, right? So, we have an extra memorable trip down memory lane to share. It was a gloomy yet oddly comforting Sunday afternoon, tucked away from the city's chaos deep within the Catskills Mountains. We were all sprawled out in a cozy, high-ceilinged room that was booming just hours ago, transformed from a dancefloor to a haven of post-party relaxation. Our good friend Joan Gila, who was visiting from Tarragona, Spain, was at the helm of the music that day. Joan - the mastermind behind HOC Radio and Red Edge record label, co-founder of Hiru events, a resident of MostRadio, a passionate music lover, record collector, and all-around incredible human took us on a musical odyssey we can't wait to share. 

Forget background music. This is a journey that demands your full attention. Layers of intricate details intertwine through the mix, adding depth and revealing hidden gems with each new listen. It is an avant-garde experience that blends ambient, experimental, techno, halftime, and beyond.

So, carve out two hours from your day. Trust us, it'll be worth it. This recording captures a beautiful memory, forever immortalized in sound. Gràcies, Joan!

“Cafe del Mar, summer 1992”

Compiled by Jose Padilla
Length: 64 mins

This mix dates back to 1992 and is one of several that were bought directly from the Cafe’s DJ booth.  It was one of an incredible series of mixes that we collected over the course of the summer, all recorded at sunset, live from the cafe.

The mixes were each simply labeled with a number and by the end of the year we’d managed to get hold of either original or fairly decent copies of most of them.

Sadly at the time I don’t think we realised the importance or relevance these mixes would have in years to come and most are now long gone, so I’m glad this particular tape has just about stood the test of time as it was a favourite back then and just listening to the opening few tracks for the first time in over 10 years brings it all flooding back!

Hope you enjoy it, more to come soon…

Jose Padilla live at the Cafe del mar 1992

I first heard Binomi, the Catalan duo of Joan Gila and Jordi Aparicio, almost two years ago at the Mostra festival. Their set left a lasting impression on me. They delivered a masterfully curated ambient and experimental DJ set, all on vinyl. Usually, I don’t focus too much on the medium, but there’s something about spinning experimental music on vinyl that takes an extraordinary level of dedication and artistry. It’s like watching a film come to life in real-time.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know Joan and Jordi beyond their music. I’m proud to call them friends. We’ve spent countless hours together on the dancefloor, talking about everything and nothing, always learning more about their endless vinyl hunts. Their passion for digging through crates is something I’ll never stop admiring. Both are integral to the Mostra crew and resident DJs for Mostradio (alongside Javi).

As they prepare for the next season of their radio residency, Binomi has graciously shared their recording from Simbiosis Festival in Seville - an event we had the pleasure of collaborating on last year. This set was their opening performance, and here at Delayed, we have a special affection for opening sets. They’re a unique challenge and demand a different kind of energy. True to form, this one is different in the best way.

The first half of their set is bold and thought-provoking yet mellow and inviting, with an experimental ambient flow that feels unfamiliar and soothing. Gradually, it shifts gears, easing into deep, dubby, low-slung techno, just in time to welcome the first dancers with open arms and warm rhythms. Joan and Jordi have crafted something that isn’t just memorable; it’s the kind of set you’ll want to revisit often, and we’re pretty sure it’ll find its way into your regular rotation.

It’s a true privilege to feature these two talented artists and all-around wonderful humans in our next edition of “Delayed with…”.
So, press play, and let this beautiful journey, recorded under the Andalusian sun, carry you away. 



This is what Binomi said about the set:
" When Doctrina Natura and Halos invited us to play at Simbiosis, they expressed their desire for us to create a sort of turning point, symbolizing the start of a new day. That’s when we decided to craft this set with a shared, overarching goal: to generate a sense of relaxation or a calm atmosphere. We divided it into two distinct parts: the first hour being ambient with experimental elements, atmospheric, tranquil, and delicate, while the second part featured downtempo beats, still maintaining that overall goal, but allowing space for the day to restart with more rhythmic sets to follow. This is the result of a morning beginning in a hidden place in Andalusia - Simbiosis, from which we have fantastic memories. We hope you enjoy it."

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."

Jose Padilla - Essential Mix - Live @ Cafe Del Mar In Ibiza (09-10-1995)

🍁 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐧 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐞 🍁

I remember one autumn in my life, which was really hard and emotional, because I was far away from home in a foreign country and I did not have time enough to build close relationships with people there, when I lost a friend back home. I was with myself, with the grief in a small room, listening to a lot of music, which had to comfort me instead of a real person, because I was not in the state to really open up to someone there. I was thinking about my friend, that I will never see again, thinking about what I would have done differently, if I would have known, what there was to come, how I would have said goodbye properly, because I didn’t.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬 is a lonely one too. A different one for the most of us due to the pandemic, the political developments all over the world, the fear of losing important protagonists and places of cultural life, which are essential for a democracy. There are so many conflicts in society soaking up the vacuum right now. 

𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟵𝘁𝗵 after a long walk through my neighborhood and lightening candles to remember this historical date. While I did this, there was another protest going on by right winged people, neonazis and corona deniers not far away from where I live. It was the fourth day of protest and violence in my hometown Leipzig. These last days made me and my close ones shake, because we are in fear for a not peaceful future and for our democracy. 
November 9th is, as I said, a historical date. That day Nazi Germany burned down synagogues in 1938 in the Reichspogromnacht. People were watching or looking away or even took part in it, when their Jewish neighbors got deported and killed and their homes and stores got destroyed. This happened in our streets here. The Stolpersteine tell the story about it. 

It happened, so it can happen again. For me it never felt so close like it does now. I am crying while writing this.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵.

Also the German wall fell on November 9th in 1989. The country I was born in, did not exist anymore shortly after this. West and East Germany got reunited. But Germany still feels so divided, even after 31 years, even if the map tells something else. 

All this history and guilt is in us. Most of our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents experienced all this. It is part of us and our culture.

𝗪𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁.

After the incidents of the last days, this is more important than ever.

I am trying to be positive. I really do. But sometimes in nights like this, it is just hard.
We are in a middle of a pandemic. We are trying to keep track, we are online too much, we are trying not to get lost, we are missing our families and friends we cannot be with due to the lockdown.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿!

There is a lot of going on in this complex world and my mind is spinning. And like back then, when I was in pain when I lost my friend, I listen to the music that comforts me and I want to share it with you. So I made a spinning sound collage of this November with the themes, that were moving me and I picked some music from back then, when I felt very lonely and some music I used to listen to with my friend in the earlier days, some newer up lightening and melancholic stuff 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱, 𝗯𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧. 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 about where a part of my heart is and will always be – at home at the “Baltique”. 

This is a map to guide you and me a little through this era with an "Autumn Waterkant Quarantine Tape" for mellow. 

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲. 𝗕𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

On this week's episode of OpenLab Selectors we welcome Dj duo Binomi, from Tarragona.

Heads of HOC radio and the parties of the same name, Binomi let go off the transversality of their music taste.
From a relationship forged in the heat of guitars and psychedelic sounds, the pair of friends set their course to the busy scene of Barcelona's electronic music scene and are known for a low and organic pulse in their sets, always with a Balearic touch and minimalist structure, although without denying the deepest acid and techno beats.

Press play and enjoy an hour of dreamlike vocals and enveloping rhythms, featuring forthcoming music on labels like Urpa i musell and Amatori, and recent works from Pillow Queen and Alfredo92  among many other amazing artists.
