Out Of Focus Podcast Series

Alfonso peacefully weaving dubby, minimal and hazy rhythms.

"This mix contains several of my current favorite minimal and techno records and also several classic gems of the genre.

For personal reasons, it was recorded at night, with the volume low on the speakers, which complicated the process a bit. It's not my most technically perfect session, but, on the other hand, the situation forced me to make a kind of blend and speech without stridency and this has built a very interesting sleepy atmosphere.

It's the music I could play nowadays at an after hour club and the way I would play it."

Today we are happy to share with you Bas Dobbelaer’s interpretation of Far Blue. The Amsterdam based DJ and producer is known for his distinct style, floating between energies with odd signatures and atmospheric sounds. 

With Echoes, Bas Dobbelaer takes you on an introspective journey where shifting rhythms and immersive atmospheres intertwine, creating a very deep contribution to the series.

“With this mix I tried to find the deeper layer of certain tracks and not limit myself too much with different tempo’s ranges. If it fits the vibe and helping the flow, it’s probably the right spot.

Creating a mix is an interesting creative outlet to discovering new possibilities and refining the art of setting the tone. Balancing on that thin line with endless opportunities, reflects the perfect capture of the feeling and learnings of today.”

A Far Blue concept by Bas Dobbelaer - 'Echoes'

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.

Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.

Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.

For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.

It’s a genuine delight to welcome Sarah Wreath to the Unrush mix series. 

Sarah and Mareena first met at SuperBooth in 2018 - a wonderful, annual playground for synth lovers in Berlin. They were both working at the front desk, surrounded by machines, cables, curious conversations, and the kind of people who speak fluent modular. It was one of those encounters that sticks. Since then, their paths kept crossing at different corners of the music world, always briefly, but with a deep mutual respect and warmth.

Sarah’s mix for Unrush feels like slipping into a slow, sonic ritual: deep, patient, and textured with intention. At times, it´s layers reveal a delightful obscurity, inviting you to explore unexpected twists and hidden depths. You can sense her background in sound research and therapeutic practice, as well as her love for psychedelic edges and raw, old-school techno. As a producer, she has released her debut LP on The Bunker New York in 2024 and has recently dropped fresh collaborative tracks with Sandwell District.

Here for Unrush, the mix isn’t just a selection of tracks. It’s a carefully curated journey that moves through space and feeling. Lean back, close your eyes, and enjoy the ride...

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/sarahwreath

This compilation sneaks into the soundscapes of the ambient room at Perpen and its population and marauders. The line up is packed with friends and family that are part of the event, who shared their vision of that cabin on the forest. A continous play has been edited for a cassette as a one-piece composition, with no aim to make a dj set but to have a more seamless experience throughout the different tracks. Welcome to the Ambient Room; it might be a daylight outside already.

Thanks to eveyone collaborating and supporting so far, the artists on this compilation, the crew at the forest, and everyone involved. Larga vida al Perpen.

The ninth. This edition sees a very special recording from a very special place. This mix was recorded live from the Coombe stage at Above Below's 2024 edition. 

In the early evening of the festival's final day, kleine took to the decks. "It was one of the most enjoyable moments of the festival for me. My mind had finally quietened down after a crazy weekend, and I was able to settle into the cosy and intimate atmosphere of the Coombe". Delivering everything this stage promised to be, kleine's set blended into the surroundings effortlessly, a feat this festival achieves across the entire site. 

Allow yourself this moment to quieten your mind.

The fourteenth podcast. The first artist on the 2025 gathering lineup. When the idea for this podcast was first developed, showcasing Sardinian DJ's was always something we wanted to accomplish. There is a natural harmony between the environment here and this style of music. It is something that is difficult to articulate. The ambience lends itself to the hypnotic, organic, profound tones. The landscape mirrors the sheer, rugged, illusive elements of deep techno. The lapping sea emulates the constant, unerring yet unpredictable facets. 

One artist who in our minds captures the very essence of all of this; with consistently top quality releases, classy mixes and a genuine, friendly and approachable character, is Save Your Atoll, who we are thrilled to welcome to the Out Of Focus Podcast. 

We are also overjoyed to announce @SaveYourAtollofficial as the first name on our lineup for Out Of Focus Gathering 2025, an event that grants the opportunity to come and witness the harmony between this place and this music.

Today's mix is grounded in pace and energy. Rhythmic elements intertwine to invoke an unyielding urge to move. Ever present is the push and pull, the tension and release, poised expertly to give the listener relief at the exact moment you need it. Whatever mood you carry with you when you press play on this mix, I assure you will feel re-energised by the end.

The fifteenth. The next artist on the 2025 gathering lineup. Audio Cla, a DJ and producer based here in Sardinia, presents a mix to hypnotize and mesmerize from the very first moments until the last fading frequencies. Relentless in it's energy, a true torrent that keeps us locked in and listening, enraptured in Audio Cla's selections. Peaks and troughs take us through diverse shades of spellbinding sound, keeping the mind reeling and the feet firmly *off* the ground. 

We're also very excited to welcome Audio Cla to the 2025 edition of the Out Of Focus gathering and for him to share his vision with us and the mountainous Taccu of Osini in September. On the 27th of September we invite you all to this gathering celebrating a fusion of sound and nature, where both Sardinian and international sonic artists will share their unique perceptions of this place.

For more those wanting more of Audio Cla's signature hypnotic and deep textures, keep an eye out for his debut album, Termorestringente, which will be released very soon.

The sixteenth. An all vinyl mix and the third artist announced for the Out Of Focus 2025 gathering. 

One for getting lost in. Between the dissonance, the mystery and the cacophony, a pulsating energy provides a reliable constant. A mix showcasing the unrelenting yet contemplative shade of deep techno. Steeped in atmosphere and fluttering rhythms, a thoughtful arrangement of tracks selected for their unwavering energy. 

It is with great pleasure that we welcome O3SIDIAN to the Out Of Focus 2025 gathering. Join us in tacchu this September to witness a live Techno masterclass from the Sardinian born, Finland based artist.

The seventeenth. An entry from Out Of Focus co-curator @picnic-it.

A mix both diverse and wandering, we depart with bouncy, organic infused electronica, lighter textures slowly intensifying as the palette develops. The middle of mix finds its stride in some deeper, darker, resonant tracks. Rolling and revolving, the senses blur as the cycle grips our auditory senses. Finally, the listener is pulled back out of the hypnotic haze, stronger sounds of storytelling return to the forefront to reassert the groove, with haunting vocals and strings bidding the listener a final farewell. 

Out Of Focus 017 - Picnic

The eighteenth. This weeks entry coming from the talented @nemsb, who's crafted a genre-warping one and half hour journey through their vision of sonic space.

This twisting, morphing mix leads the us gently into an array of diverse soundscapes; each track presenting a unique motif, a new surprise around each corner rounded. Vocals pieces are dispersed elegantly throughout, never overpowering, instead deepening the palette of the mix, outlining the established vision with dashes of strong defining color.

After riding the line somewhere between dub and deep techno, with moments of detroit infused energy throughout the mix, the final tracks deliver some darker textures as we feel like the lights darken and we become fully immersed, lost in the finished canvas.
