After witnessing @alokamusic’s set at Fusion festival 2025, we simply had to invite him for our 34th Herbarium episode. We are more than glad we did as he put together such a powerful journey enriched with juicy sounds and grooves, we can’t hold back to move to this 🐒

Here’s some background about aloka’s choice of a plant: 
The plant that I think best represents my sound is gorse (Ulex europaeus). It grows everywhere along the Welsh coast where I’m from, and it has this wild, intimidating look with its sharp spines. But when it blooms, it suddenly becomes bright and full of colour - sometimes almost all year round. I think that the contrast of something fierce turning vibrant really reflects the balance in my music.

Erika's mid-morning set from 6 - 7:30 at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. Directly after BMG and right before Derek Plaslaiko.

"It’s a whirlwind experience throwing a party *and* performing at it. At No Way Back, the only thing that works for me is to use the energy of the crowd to find my sonic direction. The room was incredibly dialed in, and the focus on the floor was immense, this is unlike any experience on any other floor around the world."

IT.podcast.s14e09: Erika at No Way Back 2025

"A hush settles over the winter landscape as shadow and melody intertwine. Field recordings drift in like cold air through a cracked window, grounding each passage in a world both distant and near. Darker currents move beneath the surface, yet something gentle keeps breaking through — small motifs, brief clearings, moments of quiet lift. An abstract, atmospheric journey shaped by contrast, restraint, and a kind of beauty that thrives in low light."

William Selman (@wselman) is a Portland, Oregon-based multi-disciplinary artist whose sound work uses field recordings, synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and digital processing techniques to explore themes such as place and non-places, embodiment, atmosphere, and the dialectic between the real and the artificial. He co-manages the Critique of Everyday Life label with Chris Miller (Gunnar Haslam) and plays in the improvisational trio Wild Card of Cascadia with Paul Dickow (Strategy) and Marcus Fischer. He has released works on Old Technology, Hausu Mountain, Mysteries of the Deep, Digitalis, and Critique of Everyday Life.

HOCast #270 - William Selman

London-based imprint Osmura returns with their second compilation series, 'Transient Glow'. Flowing through bass, dubstep and techno, the compilation features new tracks by the likes of Gillielove, Andrae Durden, Prieste5s, Ila Brugal, Viiaan and lastly our premiere, ophélie who rounds off the release beautifully with a deeply emotional track. Drawing from elements of dub, ambient, prog and techno, ophélie's 'Drosera' feels like a mirage, a hazy memory filled with emotion that captures you within its spell. It feels like a desert-island track.
