"From stillness, motion grows. After hours suspended in ambient haze, pulse and movement return - deep, measured, and alive with detail. From layered harmonics to the weight of each kick, the set unfolds like a slow ignition: serious, immersive, and unrelenting in its drive. A live moment at Mostra that reminded everyone where the dancefloor begins."

As a Mostra resident since the first edition, Timnah (@timnah-sommerfeldt) has shown throughout the previous years a great versatility, adapting to any venue and time slot of the festival always brilliantly. After closing Mostra24 in a masterful way, the Swiss artist visited Mostra25 to do a hybrid set with Mario (@mario-7), who also joined Mostra with Varuna (@varuna4053) a couple of years ago in a performance of which we also keep very nice memories.
The hybrid DJ/live set of Timnah and Mario is a match made in heaven, linking top notch selector capabilities to swirling hardware techno aesthetics and flawless execution. Both hailing from Basel, their collab also entangles the two local labels Amenthia Recordings (@amenthia-recordings) and A Walking Contradiction (@awalkingcontradiction). Through their close collaboration with both labels and heaps of collective of studio time, their musical taste and approach have become deeply intertwined, resulting in long build-ups and transcendental sound sculptures.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-scale festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that emerged at the end of 2021 as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial, and impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. Mostra will celebrate its fourth edition from March 12 to 15, 2026.

Don't miss the 5th edition of Mostra!!

This set was recorded at Mostra Festival in April – a beautiful four-day experimental music festival in the heart of Barcelona, and my first Europe show of the year! I had the opportunity to bridge the gap between Ena’s incredible live ambient set and Timnah & Mario (Hybrid)’s deep techno set.

I themed my set around spiralling synths, beginning the journey with broken beats and moving through half-time into 170 BPM, while maintaining a sense of hypnotic groove throughout. 

The crowd and energy in the room were magnetic – they were with me every step of the way. It was such a beautiful experience and definitely a highlight of my year. Huge thanks to the amazing team at Mostra!! :)

Hello :) I’m Zara and I’m originally from so-called Australia, but I’ve been living in London since April.

I’m finishing up my last EU/UK gigs for the year this week, and then I’m sooo excited to head to Japan and Korea for a mini tour – still pinching myself that I get to play there!

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨/𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨?
I’ve been DJing for about seven years and producing for around five.

𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦/𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰?
XLB by Pearson Sound completely rewired my brain and pulled me into the subterranean world.

They Feel, They Know by SHIVARASA.
I first heard it during a yoga class while I was recovering from a back injury that made daily life difficult and it really stayed with me. It reminded me of the value of stillness and the beauty of inner peace - especially as the weather turns colder and the state of the world feels increasingly bleak.

𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘣𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘵?
So many… but festivals like Waking Life, Monument, Parallel, and Organik really inspire me for their beautiful locations and community-focused approach. For clubs, I’ve always dreamed of playing at Bassiani, Club Raum, Ankali, and Oil.

𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘱?
Again, so many!! I have so many artists I admire, so let’s say the dream lineup would be a festival in nature taking place over a couple of days :D

Donato Dozzy, Mama Snake, Timnah, OK Williams, Objekt, Woody92, Sybil, A Strange Wedding (live), Ema, Hysterical Love Project (live), Livwutang, James K (live), Konduku, Polygonia (live), Marco Shuttle b2b Jane Fitz, CCL, Djrum, Temple Rat (live), Upsammy, Harold, Tangerine, Kia and garçon - the list could go on haha, too many to name!

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘑𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴?
The dance floor is your greatest teacher, community your strongest ally, and fear of failure your greatest enemy.

If you’re able to, get out, dance, and soak in as much diverse music as you can. I’ve learned so much from watching how people respond to certain moments and from the energy of the room itself. I take inspiration from different elements within tracks and from how I feel and move when I hear certain sounds.

Being in clubs or music spaces also helps cultivate a sense of community. By genuinely supporting artists, collectives, and venues, we can help the underground not just survive but thrive. And most importantly, the dance floor is the best place to meet like-minded people – some of my closest friends are those I met through a shared love of music <3

Nous'klaer Radio #41 - Zara (Live at Mostra 2025)

We are honored to have Czech DJ Marie Pradva join our mix series. Marie tells us: This mix was recorded at an event in Ankali club, in coldancefloor with my favorite crew from the Seismic label. I had the pleasure of playing at their festival this summer, but unfortunately, my set was cut short by the police — and to make matters worse, the recording was lost.

With this set, I finally had the chance to make up for it. It takes listeners on a proper journey: starting with deep ambient sounds to set the mood of the night, gradually building energy as the dancefloor fills, and eventually diving into the heavy 140 BPM swamp.

thank you @mirahmadian-ghazaleh
L’ensemble du set est né des émotions évoquées dans ce poème. J’ai cherché à en proposer une interprétation personnelle, inspirée par ce que j’ai ressenti en l’écoutant ou en le lisant, en m’appuyant sur des sonorités capables d’évoquer la peur et la solitude. 

Traduction : 

“Have you lost hopes,
Once seen between the eyes,
where shards of survival been seen?

Or have you forbidden a weeping child,
Remembering the tears of the Earth,
Earth,
Guarding the sovereignty of your eternity,
From the turmoil of your creation?

To a lost destination,
They sent me, and killed,
I,
Who mastered the art of hearing your silence.

To a forlorn address,
My heart wandered, intoxicated with the virtues of your consolation,
I,
Became scarred by solitude, my heart,
Companion, illusion, and fantasy.”

We are happy to welcome our friend @djhi-c-kireek for the 33nd episode of the Herbarium mix series. We’re absolutely fascinated by the versatility of this selection, he manages to flow through different styles with a very natural flow. Exactly how we love it!

Let’s explore DJ HI-C’s plant choice for this little journey:
The reason I chose it is simply because I genuinely love it and often enjoy drinking Tulsi as herbal tea.
Also known as “holy basil,” it carries a sacred and spiritual aura, which inspired me to weave that same sense of holiness into this mix.
So I invite you to relax and enjoy the mix while sipping on a cup of Tulsi tea.

About DJ HI-C 

Organic rhythms hidden in repetition resonate with the floor and then grooves are created. DJ HI-C, who has been based in Osaka and cultivated a brilliant career in the world of turntablists, has recently come to distinguish himself in the scene as a stirring presence in the world of techno music, a beauty in a more robust repetition and long narratives. 

In the long sets played by DJ HI-C, more primitive dub sounds and drum sounds that intensely stimulate the instincts are fused together in innovative ways, while using the boundaries of ambient / psychedelic techno, of which the Japanese outdoor scene also played a part in its development, as a base point. The scratching sounds that are occasionally woven into the music elevate the dance floor groove to a firmer one. DJ HI-C's remarkable ability to break down a track's unique sound into its smallest units and reconstruct them is due to his belief that the CDJ, like the turntable, is an instrument with endless possibilities.
Early in his career, he was one half of the turntablist unit Kireek, which won an unprecedented five consecutive DMC world championships.
DJ HI-C is also one of the resident DJs of "Moment" Festival in Japan. Furthermore he runs his imprint @aumrecordings.

Paul Rêve & Solarythm - Snakes and Horses [Virtual Forest Records]

"The room opens in shadow, unhurried. Textures drift at the edge of noise, dark yet strangely inviting - a quiet invitation to listen before moving. Beats appear like silhouettes, abstract but intentional, guiding the space without forcing it. An opening set shaped by trust in the moment: atmospheric, free, and beautifully unresolved."

Djilogue (@djilogue) is the co-founder and director of the underground club vurt. (@vurtkr), the curator of the experimental and ambient music podcast series 꿈 kkum (@kkumpodcast), and a techno/experimental DJ and live performer. He is known for his improvisational and exploratory approach, delving into new forms of order that emerge from the interplay between pattern and randomness, repetition and chance.
