1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?

I started dj’ing in 2022 right after covid. It came from the desire to share my music discoveries to a wider audience. I first started playing at friends’ parties and slowly moved to the club scene. My first gig was at Dalson Den last year. Shortly after I met Cosi at work and we decided to create ‘Osmura’ to be able to share our passion for music with others. We first started as a podcast channel and then turned into a night series and record label.

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?

It was Agonis Live set at Monument festival this year. His mystical, hypnotic sound resonated so well in the Norwegian valley. You could imagine yourself surrounded by wolves and other mysterious creatures from the forest. It’s an experience that I will never forget, and which inspires me a lot.

3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?

I would say that I’m both an introvert and an extrovert. I love meeting people from the scene during events and festivals, I find everyone’s experience very inspiring. But sometimes I feel that I could be networking more, it doesn’t feel as natural to me as it is for other people :)

4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?

‘I need Your Lovin’ (Like The Sunshine) Club Mix – Infectious!

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)

When I prepare my music for a gig, I always try to imagine the space and the crowd. Playing music in a club is about communicating with people. I would often prepare a tracklist which I would adapt based on the mood and the audience.

The day of the gig, I would go for a morning run to release my stress and boost my confidence.

CoziMix 13 : Caroune

subglow/live returns with a special recording from @beatricemasters & @bambi-dj, two of the best in the game right now. A special closing set between friends - in Bea's words:

"This mix was closing Supercamp festival’s last ever edition, from 6 to 8pm on a sunday. Therefore we thought we do a reverse journey of intensity, starting with 140 pressure taking our time to slow all the way down to 120 during the 2hours - hitting 130 with mellow dub techno cuts or classic-feel ukg, and ending with a series of (very) warm closing tracks upon closing tracks. You’ll know by now that Bambi and Beatrice M. are pretty different in their approach to DJing, which makes it all the more interesting and fun for them to find the lovely middle ground they pleasantly settle in during their b2bs. For this one, the key word is: dub. »

We're so delighted to have gifted Ophélie with us for our 25th Herbarium episode. Their mix features a wide palette of fastinating breakbeat, bass music and grey area gems with driving character yet smooth organic aesthetics. It's a wonderful fusion of different moods which melt together as one.

Ophélie chose the moss Atrichum undulatum as inspiration for their mix.
It is quite a lowkey plant but that is actually vital for a lot of ecosystems. Unlike most plants, mosses don't have roots and can grow on trees, rocks, and lots of different kinds of soils. It's a plant that's very adaptable and can survive in a lot of environments and extreme conditions. By soaking up water, they play an important role in the development of ecosystems and allow other plants around them to grow and thrive, and are also a valuable shelter for all kinds of insects and microorganisms. I find their color, form and texture super fascinating and I love their fluffy and soft side. I'm a big forest and water person, which is what the moss represents to me. This mix is definitely forest inspired, it's very inspired by the color green and the mysterious and eerie feeling that one can have when going into a forest on its own. There's also some more liquid elements that add a bit of softness to the mix.

About Ophélie

ophélie is a France-born, Berlin-based DJ with a strong taste for bass-heavy music in all its forms. They are interested in the fluid, liquid, melancholic, and often emotional aspect of music, achieved through combining multiple layers of sounds, and creating weird (poly)rhythms.
As a producer, they enjoy experimenting with FX, textures, granular and generative sounds, and all different kinds of percussions. They released tracks on compilations by Early Reflex and traverse and have released their debut EP on hundert Records in February 2024.
ophélie’ monthly Refuge Worldwide residency, Therapy Dog, and event series at Kwia, allow her to experiment and explore the different genres she’s into, while often sharing the decks with friends and artists she admires. As part of Open Music Lab, a non-profit collective offering free music and production courses for people from Berlin’s diverse communities to connect and create together, she's interested in ways to support emerging artists outside the mainstream, in the hope to build a more equitable music scene.

Enter The Freakzone - DJ Heartbreak & Carrier - 13 Nov 2024

London-based and Rinse FM resident Alicia joins the series and offers us a glimpse into the vibrant ecologies of Terra Obscura, the experimental club night she runs alongside fellow series favorite Avsluta. A rare live recording from the multitalented musician, Alicia's set captures a dynamic and thoughtful soul at play, mapping cleverly between moments of shimmering suspension and blanketing bassweight, accumulating pressure with deliberate, veteran intensity. Solid ground, in the spirit of the captured evening, from which to leap into the night beyond.
