The eighteenth episode of our podcast series welcomes Katra, with a 110-minute studio recorded mix that traverses loopy, hypnotic, and psychedelic techno, driven by his passion for deep and minimal sound.

Hailing from Athens, Katra embarked on his musical journey in the early 2000s, delving into vinyl collecting across a wide range of musical genres. Through his regular presence in local venues such as Astron, Six Dogs, Smut and his own event series Soft Crush, Katra has been established as a distinctive voice within Athens’ underground scene.

In this second episode of Lack of Sleep, a format that will return several times this season, I dive into the playlist that keeps me company on long flights. From delays to turbulence to getting stuck in the middle seat, these tracks are my escape while traveling and I hope they become yours too.

Lack of Sleep #002

Javi’s contribution to La Mostra’s biennial unfolded inside the Convent de Sant Agustí like a quiet act of urban archaeology. Tilect’s pairing of his sound design with Marta Lofi’s live visuals turned the cloister into a resonant chamber where Ciutat Vella’s streets reappeared as spectral traces. He approached the theme in the only way he knows: wander, listen, record, return to a quiet corner, and let the fragments dictate the form. The resulting piece bends the city into a dream logic of its own, where echoes slip into harmony and environmental debris reshapes itself into something strangely elegant.

There is a particular magic in Javi’s work, a way of treating everyday noise like soft clay. Years of diving into granular processes, pedals, and the raw geometry of sound have given him a language that feels both intimate and slightly extraterrestrial. The first time we heard him, at Mostra nearly four years ago, he and Alex as .apart made the city feel alive in a way that bordered on surreal, like Barcelona’s neighborhoods were whispering their stories directly into the PA. This new recording carries that same spark but with a deeper sense of curiosity. Close your eyes and you might imagine an alien craft touching down in Ciutat Vella and trying to negotiate with unbothered locals who answer confusion with a casual sax riff. The tension is playful rather than dramatic, a shimmering frequency that settles the body rather than startling it. These thirty-five minutes show an artist who keeps refining how memory becomes texture and how place becomes pulse. It’s a pure joy to include this one in the series, a quiet demonstration of how listening can tilt your sense of place in unexpected ways.

Romi, Solstice Celebration Mix

Avsluta is the project of Czech-born, London-based sound alchemist Lucie Štěpánková - a composer, DJ, curator, and live performer whose work invites deep, intentional listening in an age of constant acceleration. Inspired by the life and teachings of Pauline Oliveros, as well as her years of study in sound art, Avsluta’s practice is rooted in listening and presence as a practice. To me, Avsluta has always been a reminder of the slow life - encouraging slowness and reflection while drawing attention to how our living environments are shaped by sound.

Her ritualistic music-making practice often begins simply, with a cup of tea and incense lit, setting the tone for her intuitive approach to creativity. Moving fluidly between contemplative ambient soundscapes, downtempo, and subtle rhythmic techno inspiring of embodied movement, Avsluta’s music blends traditional production practices with field recordings, free improvisation using collected objects and organic materials and often her own ethereal vocals.
Live performance plays a vital role in her practice, including work with improvisation and spatial audio. Beyond her own artistic output, Avsluta is deeply engaged in nurturing listening cultures and community. She runs Introspective Electronics, a platform featuring a radio show and podcast series dedicated to peaceful soundtracks for slow Sundays. Alongside Alicia, she co-curates Terra Obscura, a bi-monthly event series, and has recently expanded into music management as a booking agent with Organic Signs.

The first Deep Breakfast episode of 2026 comes in the form of a live set by Spanish artist Javier Marimon, inviting listeners straight into his deeply personal sonic universe.
A singular storyteller, Javier moves freely across sound and form, shaping music that has found a home on labels such as Crescent London, Kizen, Huinali, Accents, Oslated, Secuencias Temporales, as well as on his own imprint, Off Tangent. His work has been heard and experienced at gatherings like Mostra, Perpendicular, La Nature, and La vallée électrique, where his live performances unfold with an unmistakable sense of presence.
Beyond music, his creative practice extends into visual art, sketches, and sculptural forms, all sharing the same open-ended, tactile approach. There is always an invitation embedded in his work: to listen actively, to imagine, to complete what is only suggested. His sound feels alive, curious, and intentionally imperfect, encouraging participation rather than passive observation.

Looking back at the process that brought this session to life, Javier shares:
"Last year i was lucky to experience japanese countryside for a few months on the beautiful village of Ichinose in Fujieda, surrounded by bamboo, tea, the river and an incredible community I also felt a little shift on my music making processes, (and life in general too). More lo-tech, more direct and less midi-ed.
This unfolded as a new name, A Ras, in Spanish it's understood as being really close to the floor, at the same surface height or just barely touching an object.
Mainly granular beats and deep dubby patterns, some tracks with this aka will see the light through this year in different platforms.
When I was back in Spain I used the new sounds with the old setup so it still sounds Marimon rather than something new. This recording is a collection of sampler-fed drum machine action, free hand rhythms and a mild changing aesthetic that I’ll keep exploring further."
