what is this beauty?, amazing theta wave @timnah-sommerfeldt

What a beautiful track.. really love that atmospheric feel

"Lost in a pine forest, without signal, isolated in a fantasy. Lying on the blanket, slowly nodding your head, feeling good, moving to the rhythm of dub."

Embodying a profound and instinctual allure, Javier Salazar (@javrsalazar) remains an enigmatic force in the contemporary music landscape. Founders of klape nunsen (@klapenunsen), their sound is characterized by elegant and soaring rhythms creating immersion through a continued dedication to diversifying their selection, blending genres and atmospheres. The two are also part of La Vallée Electrique (@Melifera_Records) in which they shape a cohesive whole among the artists of the festival. Records from the duo are available on Oslated and their own imprint, drawing listeners into a smooth current of sounds.

It is a pleasure to have gifted Switzerland based artist @timnah-sommerfeldt with us for the 26th episode of our Herbarium mix series! 🌱
She composed a trippy journey through ambient, dnb and grey area - a really deep and introspective ride. She created a very coherent story around her choice of plant, the European beech. 

Here's a little backstory by TImnah about her choice:
"I chose the native, beautiful European beech (Fagus sylvatica) because it serves as an important point of reference for me during my mushroom walks in the forest. Among all the trees there, it is especially the beech that always guides me.
A large mushroom community lives in symbiosis with this impressive tree. It's fascinating to observe how this natural cycle begins anew each year—from summer into winter.

~ The coexistence of the beech with fungi begins when the delicate root of a beech seedling comes into contact with the soil and the mycorrhizal fungi living within it. It only ends long after the tree's death, when the dead beech wood is completely decomposed. ~

My mix was recorded after a snowy, cold November day in the forest and is joyfully dedicated to the European beech, which gifted me a delicious dinner 🍄‍🟫🦪🌳🤍"

About Timnah
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Herbarium No 26 - Timnah - Fagus Sylvatica

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.

Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.

This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.

Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.

Delayed with... Ario (at La Nature Festival 2024)

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.

Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.

Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.

For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.
