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 🧡🌲

We are honoured to share a deeply personal and beautiful ambient mix by Blind Observatory for Unrush. True to his signature style, this mix unfolds like an acoustic panorama - layered with cinematic textures, immersive sounds, and delicate facets of emotion. Each track flows effortlessly, as if hiking through a natural biotope of sound, moving between different atmospheres with a calm ease. This mix is dedicated to his beloved dog, Plüshka, who recently passed away:

"I compiled and recorded this set during the last weeks I had with my wonderful dog Plüshka. My true soulmate. It is a story of two tethered souls slowly untangling. About a connection getting grainy, then fuzzy and blurry before fading. A journal of our parting. It's a little tribute to my big love."

This heartfelt journey is an ode to love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between kindred spirits. We hope you enjoy the set and have a relaxed start to the week...

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...

Immerse yourself in a stunning ambient journey recorded live at Above Below Festival 2024, where the Combee stage became a vessel for deep listening and sonic exploration.

Behind the sound is Moon Patrol, the collaborative project of @irina-kotik and @gilleswasserman. As co-founders of the Brooklyn-based platform @itsdelayed, the duo has cultivated a unique voice that weaves through warm electronica, cinematic ambient, and introspective techno. With releases on labels such as Oslated, On Board Music, SoHaSo, and Huinali, their work is defined by emotional resonance, subtle tension, and the art of restraint.

Moon Patrol moves through sound with sensitivity and intention—shaped by shifting moods, flowing frequencies, and the quiet connection between two artists in deep dialogue. Their set invites you into a space where time slows down and feeling takes the lead.

Let yourself be carried by the textures, the silences, and the subtle turns. This is a journey best experienced with open ears and an open mind. Settle in, and let the music take you where it will.

We're thrilled to introduce the incredible German DJ and music producer, Blind Observatory.

Blind Observatory is a highly talented DJ, music producer, designer, and visual artist whose creative work delves deeply into themes of science fiction, futurism, and astronomy. Inspired by the captivating idea of viewing dance floors as "observatories for the blind," his name embodies a guiding principle and serves as a meaningful reminder for David as he explores the vastness and solitude of the universe. His unique artistic approach, combined with an intuitive sense of the energy and flow of a night, enables him to skillfully navigate the delicate emotional spectrum between sadness and joy. This ability has earned him a well-deserved reputation as a true "DJ’s DJ" — someone who understands the art of moving a crowd on a profound level. Since 2024 he is running https://soundcloud.com/gravitational-multiplex together with Vincent Neumann, where he recently released his first solo ep in almost a decade https://gravitationalmultiplex.bandcamp.com/album/entropy-of-me

"With this one I wanted to be it a lush summer mix so I was aiming for a slight water theme. Drifting and Floating. Lots of ripples, droplets, reflections and swirls. Tidal movements and waves with a wiggly undercurrent."

Deep Breakfast 308 ~ Blind Observatory

Italian duo Orion are back, consistently offering their trademark warmth. This release on Dutch label Far Blue is another testament to their talent and deep love for what they do, and a perfect third release for this community-driven label. The EP will be available to purchase in vinyl and digital formats at the end of April.

The opening track on the EP, Her, evokes a whimsical, warm, and delicate aura of calm introspection, the track builds with hollow, immersive percussive elements, creating a neat and uplifting groove. Its slow pace and cosmic touch deliver a reassuring sense of well-being, that feeling where you stop for a second, and realise everything is going to be alright. Their laid-back personalities mirror the calm, collected nature of their music.

This track portrays just one corner of their repertoire, as the rest of the EP explores the range of these two talented Italian producers. You’re in for a treat.

PREMIERE - Orion - Her [Far Blue]

Echoes is a deeply personal exploration of place, memory, and transformation. The EP opens with a track originally composed for @laaarmusic’s debut at Fusion Festival - a tribute to the enigmatic atmosphere of the Seebühne stage. Dark, fog-laced, and full of tension, it captures the charged stillness of that moment: the unknown rising from mist and bass.
Following his move to Europe in December, Laaar found unexpected echoes of that same energy in the forest near his new home. Cold days and quiet walks inspired the remaining two tracks - introspective pieces shaped by solitude, shifting light, and the distant pulse of memory.
Echoes weaves these experiences into a soundscape that feels both vast and intimate, club-minded yet deeply reflective. A journey through fog and forest, rhythm and resonance.

After witnessing one of their sets at Amsterdam institution @breakfast-club-music-1 last year, we felt an instant urge to invite Caim (@caim-records) to our mix series.

While Caim is a recent project, its members Tommy Kornuijt and Mark Antoni have been active in Amsterdam’s scene for years as independent DJ’s, most notably with their residency for the Breakfast Club where they have become known for extended after-hour sets. Last summer they released a first EP on their self-titled label Caim Records, with a second release scheduled for early 2019.

Our first mix of 2019 by Caim is a perfect reflection of their sound: Timeless and with a hypnotizing groove, it finely treads the line between organic techno and rolling breaks.

Japanese duo @opalsunn, a.k.a. @alexkassian & @hiroakioba, take their love for machine-made electronic music and create free-spirited, intricately-layered musical landscapes.

Since their first studio release on @planetsundae in 2017, they have crafted a niche for themselves with energetic, percussive live sets featuring travelling acid baselines and expansive ambient textures.

Featuring field recordings, esoteric samples, and an unlikely confluence of musical imageries, the duo's Patterns of Perception 45 sees them lingering in warm, brilliant ambient spaces punctuated by irresistibly forward-moving percussive sequences which evoke visions of their homeland.

Konduku (a.k.a. Ruben Üvez) burst onto the scene in 2018 with his debut album Kıran, named after the picturesque hill in Turkey's Cappadocia under which his father is buried. That man and that place are in many ways the inspiration behind this unique artist's arresting blending of atmospheric melodica and polyrhythmic drive, grounded in equal measure upon the mystifying beauty of his ancestral home and the thrilling electronic music scene of the Netherlands in which he was raised.

His Patterns of Perception 46 perfectly reflects these dual complementary forces, at once arcane and palpable. And perhaps the third vital foundation upon which this mix's incandescent energy stands is the process by which it was created: two turntables, one take.

Perpetually obsessed with proving the futility of binaries, Lou Drago is drawn to the spaces between analogue and synthesised sounds. In their sets, Drago aims to provide a space for contemplation and introspection, offering a pause from the anxiety of neoliberalism through ambient, strange and relaxing sounds. They aim to summon imagery of speculative queer and postgendered futurities through evoking sci-fi, space, drone and ambience. Drago hosts a monthly show on Cashmere Radio based in Berlin called TRANSIENCE, each time inviting a different artist to respond to their concept to create an hour of anxiety relief from hetero-patriarchial systems of oppression.

In Patterns of Perception 47, Drago fuses all these elements into a masterfully lucid kaleidoscope of vivid textures and colours punctuated by shimmering spaces.

With a penchant for subtle groove and emotive shifts between genres, Kia’s sound centres itself around bass, IDM and the deeper reaches of techno.

As a member of Melbourne’s burgeoning electronic music community, she showcases the talent shown by friends and other figures within the local scene through the careful selections of which her mixes are comprised.

With Patterns of Perception 48, Kia weaves a smooth, coherent narrative that effortlessly blends shades of dub and minimal techno, whilst also providing an inspired down-tempo exploration of contemporary bass music. Warmth, nostalgia and sincerity are elements that can be felt keenly throughout the mix, and are indicative of the positivity that permeates through Kia’s musical vision.
