CIAIC is an Italian DJ based in Paris. An insatiable delver of dance music’s murkiest depths, he draws inspiration from bass-heavy sounds, dub, and hypnotic rhythms to open a gateway for his imagination.

A dense journey drifting through dub pressure, industrial haze, and glitchy footwork.

Living Room n°85 ~ @living_roooom sleep set

8.5 hour hybrid set recorded on the 8th of February 2025, 23:30-08:00 at Oficina Municipal do Teatro in Coimbra, Portugal by @asiootus and @usofusofusofusof

~~~

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. Hi we’re asio and usof from the Living Room crew


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. We were invited to perform a sleep show by the Ouvido Absoluto crew in Coimbra. We were very excited because playing a sleep set was always something we wanted to do. We've been collecting tracks specifically for an occasion like this for many years. On top of the different tracks we were improvising with a variety of digital instruments, to create an organic canvas of sound that is always moving, but very slowly. The idea of influencing dreams with music is one aspect that we found particularly interesting. So for that reason the set is not always focused on creating comfort, but rather different, sometimes quite alien moods.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Sleeping and dreaming.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room…
a. Perhaps the red desk light in Cosmos (technically our living room:). it creates a very cozy atmosphere.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. The whole Living Room crew is soon set off to play at Waking Life. After that we’ll have a string of events in Lisbon, with the next one being on the 6th of July.

q. pls introduce yourself:
a. hi Living Room,
First of all, I’d like to thank you for the opportunity — I really like you all.
I’m Sandro, I’m a painter and I occasionally DJ as well. I’m part of the Tundra collective and I’ve recently started making music — and that’s thanks to you, as Living Room influenced me a lot. Thank you for that!

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. I’m not sure, but it definitely gives me a lot of chills.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Looking at the sea — or whatever way you feel most in tune with while listening :)

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. it’s an old piece of furniture where my mother kept all kinds of stuff, and those things are still inside.

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. Yes, I’m currently working on a painting about my uncle who passed away recently, and I would also like to dedicate this mix to him, as I love him.

Sensual Pills 036 by Mattia – photographer, dedicated digger with an extensive sound archive, and co-founder of @trascendanza_ets 

Drawing from a landscape of slow-burning tension and delicate unraveling, Mattia delivers an intimate selection for Sensual Pills – a sinuous dive into temptation and discovery.

Blurring the line between control and abandon, this mix unfolds like a whispered invitation: layered textures, shadowy melodies, and tactile rhythms trace a path through hidden emotional terrains.

Recorded on the occasion of “Altrove è un Cerchio” – an event curated by @trascendanza_ets in Perugia – this set is more than a listening session: it’s a sensory drift, where each track lingers like a touch not yet given, and every transition hints at a story untold.

Sensual Pills: a series of mixtapes around the topic of sensuality. 
How do we approach sensuality now during this weird time of no-contact and distance regulations? How can we talk about it without experiencing its physicality? Did your idea of erotism change? What is sexy for you? And most important: Can you translate it to music?
We want to feel sensuality, we want to share our thoughts out loud, dance in the name of it till we are damn sweating, and so on and so forth.
