Next up on the series we have Brighton based producer/DJ Caldera. Caldera has always caught my ear with his amazing/unique taste in percussion and rhythms - usually blended with a mysterious + dubby/vibey melodic touch.
Very happy to have him on the series as well as his track Endless Roots on the launch VA for Mirror Tapes.

Mirrors 012 - Caldera

Our final mix of 2023 comes from Earth Dog Records founder, Jek @earthdogbk - an hour of sludgy, swampy prog & rave fuelled trance made for  his favourite place to dance, the great outdoors. 

Big love to Jek for the contribution and rounding off a great year of submissions! <3

The concept of this mix is biome rave. Each arch/section is based on different outdoor environments where I imagine a perfect dancefloor.

I also wanted to include a few unfinished productions I’ve been working on, It was a challenge but also fun to fully customize tracks to fit into the mix.

Vayunanda 003 | Cauê ( @caueborba)

Well known in our community, Cauê is a talented techno artist from São Paulo, Brazil, known for his well-crafted atmospheric and hypnotic sounds.

Over the past few years, he has built a solid discography spanning across renowned labels such as Affin, Khoros, Dorian Gray, Dosis and, more recently, his own project Ogan Records. In recent years, Cauê's active membership of the deep techno scene has cemented his reputation as a highly consistent and prolific producer, more recently focusing on live sessions for podcasts.

This time he dives deep into his ambient and experimental side, giving us an hour of melancholic, dark, dense and ethereal ambient that not only explores carefully designed atmospheres and complex grooves, but also uses silence as a musical instrument.

Vayunanda 003 - Cauê (Live)

"What emerges from this dialogue will always be something otherworldly. Alien and futuristic music straight from their spaceship. Crazy frequencies, broken and deep rhythms at varying speeds. A fascinating mosaic that must be heard and savored."

vrika (@vrika) is the moniker of Spanish producer Fernando Blanco. His music blends hypnotic rhythms, ambient soundscapes, and organic textures, all infused with a tribal essence. Starting with techno as a foundation, his sound freely explores a range of subgenres. Vrika has released music on Doppt Zykler and other respected underground labels.

Pillen (@pillen) is a Spanish DJ based in Madrid, actively mixing since 2012. A dedicated vinyl collector, he is passionate about playing long sets exclusively in this format. His mixing style spans a diverse sonic palette, including techno, breakbeat, acid house, electronica, and drum & bass. Known for his love of hypnotic sounds, Pillen focuses on maintaining high energy and intensity on the dancefloor. In 2021, he co-founded Sables Mouvants, a project born from the desire to bring extended sets to Madrid's club scene. At these events, invited artists have the freedom to decide how long they wish to play, with a minimum of 4-5 hours. “In this project, we trust the DJ's ability to command the dancefloor,” Pillen explains.

Both are co-founders, along with others,  of Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), a project launched in 2023 with the aim of creating a meeting point dedicated to the pure enjoyment of underground music. The initiative plans to share recordings captured at the venue while also hosting live events in the future, all designed to enhance our collective listening experience.
