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 🧡🌲

La Nature 2024

Sybil @ La Nature 2024

Hello everyone!

It's October 1st, autumn is slowly settling in and it's time to launch our new episode of the podcast series; this time we have the honour and pleasure of inviting maestro F-On.

An acclaimed DJ and top producer, he specialises in demanding, experimental music in both his sets and his productions, at the crossroads between low-tempo dub, ambient and cinematic music, where the textures and backgrounds bear witness to both a real sonic richness and an authentic signature.  Based in Madrid, Alfonso Pomeda has made a name for himself over the years by becoming a benchmark on the techno scene with his Alpenglühen project, which is dedicated to deep music in the form of a label and a structure for online and physical events. Label owner with Bule of Antimatter, he is also curator of the Mostra Festival in Barcelona, F-On performs regularly in the best clubs and festivals around the world, most recently at the Parralel festival and at Vurt and Gare Porto. Let yourself be drawn into this hour and a half of music where the rhythm, with its strong identity, guides you on a progressive, inner journey that is at once organic, mechanical and dreamlike.

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.

Next on tentacular, we’re thrilled to host a mix from the multi-faceted Lucie Stepankova, known as Avsluta (@avsluta): a London-based sound artist, DJ, and curator. With a focus on the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music, Avsluta creates evocative experiences that invite deep, active listening and emotional connection.

Lucie is the force behind @introspective_electronics, a platform dedicated to exploring ambient-infused sounds through regular radio shows, podcasts, and curated live events. Her collaborative projects include co-running Sonic Garden—an experimental ambient and downtempo event series in partnership with AMOENUS—and co-curating @terra-obscura-london alongside DJ/producer Alicia, a bi-monthly exploration of ambient-tinged UK bass and progressive club sounds.

Through her live performances, Lucie improvises with a mix of objects, field recordings, electronics, and digital processing, crafting speculative soundscapes that embody the essence of nature and emotion. Her DJ sets are equally diverse, seamlessly flowing between ambient, downtempo, UK bass, and off-kilter deep techno, blending atmospheres that resonate both physically and soulfully.

She shared with us a few words with her mix

London-based and Rinse FM resident Alicia joins the series and offers us a glimpse into the vibrant ecologies of Terra Obscura, the experimental club night she runs alongside fellow series favorite Avsluta. A rare live recording from the multitalented musician, Alicia's set captures a dynamic and thoughtful soul at play, mapping cleverly between moments of shimmering suspension and blanketing bassweight, accumulating pressure with deliberate, veteran intensity. Solid ground, in the spirit of the captured evening, from which to leap into the night beyond.

Parisian artist KEUT is the founder and artistic director of KLUSTER, a collective and label that has become a fixture in the city's underground scene. His approach to music is as fluid as his influences, which range from hip-hop and bossa nova to blues and pop, all filtered through a lens of hypnotic, minimalist techno. During the pandemic, he channeled his creative energy into building KLUSTER, a project rooted in community and connection. Now, with residencies and plans for a dedicated space, KEUT has cultivated a movement that mirrors his music's thoughtful, layered approach.

This "Delayed with…" mix feels like it's made for the dancefloor of a lakeside beach at sunrise. KEUT begins with airy, dub-laden sounds that match the cool, early-morning air and the shimmering reflection of light on the water. As the mix evolves, it builds momentum, mirroring the sun climbing higher. When Tozzi's Kamayuk drops, the weather shifts—a brief summer storm that electrifies the mood. The energy deepens, taking on a melancholic hue, yet it never loses the light entirely. KEUT's ability to guide this transition makes for a set that is as dynamic as it is reflective and perfectly suited for that moment when the night melts into the day.
