This year at Horst we introduced Collective Care, a harm reduction and community care programme to make the festival a supportive and welcoming place for all. Perhaps you saw the team in pink vests during the weekend, or even sought them out yourself in a difficult moment.

Collective Care also included a dedicated restorative space, for which we commissioned a series of mixes from DJs with a keen understanding of nurturing sound: Russell E.L. Butler, Alex Rita, and Lou Drago.

Toner was first introduced to underground music while studying abroad in Taiwan, where he was awakened by modern techno.

After returning to Japan, he became captivated by Tokyo’s club and rave scene, and naturally progressed to become involved with numerous events as both a supporter and music journalist.

Together with Toss and Kaana, he now runs "LIMINAL DREAMS”. A community of enthusiasts, deeply focused on electronic, ambient and experimental music. "LIMINAL DREAMS" pays homage to the psychedelic chill-out culture that has been prevalent since the 60’s.

“Uneven Beauty”

“Recently, I had the opportunity to be surrounded by the beautiful port city of Keelung, Taiwan. It was a very calming and tranquil experience.

During this time, I reflected on a variety of musical experiences in recent years, to explore various sounds for this mix. I wanted to capture the beauty and tranquility of an outdoor music festival and combine it with the beauty of an intimate smoky venue.

I often find beauty in the ephemeral and feel a strong connection between music and the natural world. I hope you can enjoy this mix as a session that transcends time and space between great musicians.

I pay my respects to all of the artists.”

The Observatory - Toner

"Paused and luminous melodies. From the terrace, I see the winter sun gliding low, making the sea water shimmer. The scent of foam reminds me that summer is still a few months away. I don't want to rush; the downtempo sets the pace, and I like that."

Patric Kimman dives into the deeper side of ambient and experimental music in his monthly radio show on South London’s Balamii radio station (@balamii), under his alias Paduan (@padduan). He is also one of the organisers behind the Into the Universes audiovisual event series that focuses on ambient music and moving visual art in Amsterdam. This mix went a bit more into downtempo territory than his normal sonic excursions on Balamii.

My second Freerotation yurt set. It was at a weird, uneasy time, just after the EU referendum result. The recording was played on Rinse FM by Ben UFO on the Hessle Audio show on 9/11/17 (thank you).

Melbourne duo @HTRK (Nigel Yang & Jonnine Standish) have a well-storied history reaching back nearly two decades. From a back-catalogue comprising of significant releases on imprints like @Ghostly International, Mistletone and Boomkat Editions, collaborations with luminaries such as Mika Vainio, Rowland S. Howard & @benfrost, and appearances at numerous key events around the globe (including the legendary @berlinatonal festival, Krakow's @unsound and Vivid at the Sydney Opera House), their impact on a vast array of listeners and scenes is indelible and difficult to overstate.

As a two-piece band, their melancholic, sensual music lies roughly at the intersection of post-punk, no-wave, shoegaze and art-rock, with influences from IDM, industrial, noise, dub-techno, pop and beyond. Indeed, it is this eclectic palette, combined with deep knowledge and curiosity that has recently seen them contribute a captivating ambient score for Jeffrey Peixoto's documentary "Over the Rainbow" and regularly deliver genre-defying mixes on platforms like @secretthirteen and NTS.

A starting theme and departure point for HTRK's Patterns of Perception 74 is the ocean. This intricately assembled collection of music finds a natural ebb and flow amongst rich, organic synths and delicate abstract melodies. Building from a slow and introspective beginning, the duo intuitively and carefully guide the narrative to also incorporate gentle energy and a sense of strangeness. 
Viewed holistically, this mix is invigorating and luxuriously diverse, with a true chameleonic quality that allows the listener to take something different from every listen. 

Tracklist:
1. Madalyn Merkey - Besançon (Self-released via Bandcamp, 2020)
2. Kate Carr - Perhaps it was a dream about Water Lilies (Tiny Portraits, 2015)
3. Jasmine Guffond - Yellow Bell (Sonic Pieces, 2015)
4. Vox Populi! - Trois Gouttes De Sang (Vox Man Records, 1985)
5. Joe McPhee and John Snyder - Windows in Dreams (CjRecord Productions, 1974)
6. People Skills - Zoom Meeting (Amplify 2020, 2020)
7. Terry Riley and Don Cherry - Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector (bootleg, 1975)
