For our 31st podcast, we want to welcome Night Garden. Born in London & having lived in Bristol, James Laing aka Night Garden draws from the sounds of those two cities, alongside musical knowledge gained during his classical compositional training. With releases on Melifera, Bahn, Indefinite Pitch, and Bait, his music combines modern sound design with classical theoretical ideas. 

Night Garden is a musical project embodying an imagined space between our conscious reality & the land of dreams. It is a liminal point in space & time; a home to drifting forms & sounds unknown. Suspended in a twilight haze, its nebulous inhabitants float into distant obscurities, shedding ephemeral traces from their transient skin.

Night Garden draws inspiration from extensive reading on nature and philosophy, endlessly amazed about the diversity of life. A particular interest lies in the diversity in body technology of different species & how their body composition impacts their felt experience “Fish, for example, sense the world in a completely different way than we do, which I find amazing,” he explains. Trying to understand a whole different way of sensing the world is something he finds inspiring. His musical projects are often inspired by thought processes that stem from sources like these.

 For this mix, Night Garden sets the scene in a damp, dense, dimly lit environment. “"The introduction focusses on electronics which are abstract and machine generated, yet reminiscent of sounds from the natural world. This juxtaposition is something that I often look for in music”.

IDO returns with the second chapter of Transcendental Movements – a series dedicated to active meditation and deep listening. Active meditation is a practice of fully inhabiting the movement of sound. Instead of seeking absolute silence, it invites you to dive into textures, to be carried by frequencies, to follow oscillations like a breath. Every vibration becomes an anchor point, every resonance a gateway inward. In a world saturated with noise and anxiety, this approach offers a space to refocus the body and calm the mind. Here, listening is not passive: it’s an awakened trance where tensions shift and dissolve, leaving only a pure sense of presence.

For this second volume, Valentino Mora has gathered a new ensemble of artists exploring the frontier between intimate perception and sonic landscape. The compositions – slow and organic – unfold like micro-universes, at times ethereal, at times dense, designed to guide the listener on a sensory journey that transforms anxiety into movement, and movement into inner peace. Transcendental Movements Vol. 2 is an invitation to listen differently: not to escape, but to return to yourself.

[DISSECTION] is a mix series where various artists show their personal spice and flavor. For this one, Vekh comes straight at you with cutting edge drum and bass. A lush rollercoaster of fast electronica and roaring basslines. The result is a blend of modern techno-infused breaks and a subtle tribute to the liquid era of the early 90s.

GIFKIKKER is a Brussels based collective and label that fuses roughness and bite with depth- and clarity. Inspired by the sounds of the rustling leaves, flowing rivers and industrial soundscapes, our aim is to create genre-fluid music that blast the listeners into a wall of sound. Experimentation is key, where there are no boundaries.

The fifth and final chapter of the Raíces series marks the closing of a profound cycle — a journey that has explored the dialogue between sound and Nature, rhythm and remembrance. Raíces V gathers four artists whose works intertwine ancestral resonance and contemporary sonic architecture, tracing the invisible thread that connects the organic with the electronic.

Each piece unfolds as a ritual of grounding: deep techno pulses meet ancient drums, acoustic textures, and echoes of the living earth. In times of uncertainty, these sounds act as roots — anchoring us, reminding us of the fertile stillness beneath movement.

Curated by Aleja Sánchez, the release features new works from Vand, Vardae, Dino Sabatini and her own composition, closing a series dedicated to honoring music as both a spiritual language and a return to origin.

This EP unfolds like the anatomy of a plant: each track embodies a vital element or process, contributing to the delicate balance that sustains life. The path here is more defined, mirroring the structured yet organic rhythm of growth. Roots, sap, leaves, respiration—each component resonates as a metaphor for connection and interdependence, reminding us that nothing in nature exists in isolation. Through sound, we trace the invisible threads that bind these elements together, evoking both fragility and resilience, silence and expansion. 

Piante Vive is not just a reflection on the plant world, but on our own need for grounding, transformation, and symbiosis.

ERIS

A gentle yet quick-stepping microfunk single shaped around minimal, glitch-edged liquid drum & bass grooves. Glassy pads, sharp crunchy drums and warm sub bass.

It sits in that fragile space between waking and dreaming - a half-asleep drift where thoughts hover, dissolve, and reassemble before finally slipping into sleep.

Born from a deep desire to breathe and live music, created by the physical and emotional journey that every musical experience entails, Profundo Collective is the manifestation thereof.

It is about the connection between the artist and the music. It is about the narrative that every artist creates with every piece it makes. It is about the profound meaning behind the art structure, expressed fluently in atmospheric, tribal and ambient vibes.

The Collective aims at bringing all of those narratives together. So, all of these combined narratives will tell a tale of people who live and breathe music, who through their forms of expression share values, finding a common cultural place on this Earth in our time.
