Next up on the series we have Brighton based producer/DJ Caldera. Caldera has always caught my ear with his amazing/unique taste in percussion and rhythms - usually blended with a mysterious + dubby/vibey melodic touch.
Very happy to have him on the series as well as his track Endless Roots on the launch VA for Mirror Tapes.

Serious Cut @ Perpendicular 2024

"In the depths of sound, where rhythm becomes ritual, the pulse of the earth and the cosmos align. Each beat calls forth forgotten whispers, weaving a hypnotic dance between the seen and the unseen, where the soul drifts through the veil and touches the timeless essence of the mystical."

ILAY, an 18-year-old sound artist behind the alias ILAYRUNI (@ilayruni), works at the crossroads of electronic music and percussive instruments. Merging these two worlds, he explores the possibility of rhythm and sound. Growing up in a family that had a strong bond with the electronic music scene, ILAY had access to a wide range of styles and sounds, giving him the chance to wander and discover all types of frequencies and feelings. Traveling through a wide range of styles during his sets and productions, he seeks highly percussive rhythmic patterns that merge with synthesizers and give place to deep soundscapes.

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...

@vinnavaldyr dj set Grabado en Qualia -  12/04/25  - Espacio Perpendicular

Nada surge meramente de lo complejo, igual que nada es exclusivamente una estructura. Qualia no es solo un evento: es una experiencia en transformación, un espacio donde la creación y la transmisión dan forma a algo único e irrepetible.

Aquí, el instante se convierte en lo esencial. No se trata de cuánto, sino de qué y cómo. Torrentes de energía fluyen a través de diversos medios, donde cada percepción individual moldea y amplifica la experiencia colectiva. Porque aunque nos veamos a menudo, siempre es especial.

Vinna Våldyr@qualia

@fleika grew up during the heyday of
Prague’s rave culture, coming of age
as a DJ in booths built for a single night
only. The Czech techno renaissance
formed him, then the newly-born club
culture embraced him as one of its main
protagonists.

Industrial ruins, modernist landmarks;
fleika’s trip through the blooming
nightlife imbued his craft with intuition
and technical precision. His sets are a
humble display of his ability to hijack
the mind of a listener. He likes his
dancefloor quiet. No cheers, no chants,
just a stomping crowd, locked in their
own heads.

The Ankali resident digs anything that
kicks, melts or makes one’s mind trip,
but mainly thrives on diving into the
vast depths of hypnotic and psychedelic
techno – as deep as it gets.

Emotional Waves : Thaïs invite fleika (20.05.25)

Another lovely memoir of friendship here with the ever talented Swiss artist phrex, who works under various aliases, including @seduction-dream-dust, with Animix #174. Juj is a beautiful person inside and out and his musical outputs are a reflection of his multifaceted character - often referencing his middle eastern heritage. In his animix, a wild dnb speed journey, filled with adventure and emotion, awaits.

Beyond political and social nods, phrex has an inredible ability to merge genres and styles in a way that remains seemingly fresh and unique - which, in 2025,  is harder and harder to come by. We originally met at random, as I strolled past a stage whilst he was playing an ambient set at Waking Life in 2022. The self-made remix of "Alone" by Olive he was playing drew me in and led me to ask for an ID. in return, he gifted me a cassette of the song. A beautiful memory of music exchange and friendship, and i'm really happy to finally have him in the series.

Lots of love - thank you Juj!

SVEN ALLAN: SPÆCIAL MIX 129

Perhaps one of the most fundamental and integral elements to this musical scene within which we operate is the ability to be able to support friends and push creative expression forwards in a meanigful manner. Big or small, if you can play a tune, then we'd like to listen. 

Macca is a friend of the website and has been actively involved in electronic music for many years having run and promoted parties up north for a long time. As a disc jockey he is unassuming and kind hearted, keen to showcase the eclectic nature of his own collection whilst ensuring that a happy go lucky ideology can go a long way. 

This mix was recorded after hours in East London at the locally renowned Behind This Wall venue, a low key affair with a tasteful soundsystem and big soul. 

We invited him to showcase his worth below as he talks shop.

Macca: The 'Monday Is Okay' Mix

During these unsettling times, it has become clearer than ever the critical role music plays in lifting our spirits. With stress becoming a ubiquitous factor in our everyday lives, the need to tune into something more serene grows. This is something Unrush founder Mareena is aware of, which is why she has personally prepared an hour of lush, tender atmospherics to ease us out of this worried world and into the present moment of endless tranquillity. Mareena's passion for music is contagious, and her mixes exemplify this as much as her curatorial prowess. She blends elements almost as if she was the forest floor, supporting the sprouting buds with essential nutrients while letting the old-growth be seen in all its glory. So turn off the news, put your phone on silent, and take solace in this very special and personal edition of Unrush.
