The Continuum

Selene Series, mixed by DOC

Welcome to yet another edition of our hypnotic series

For this one we're glad to introduce a great music selector, DOC, who honoured us with a deep full vinyl selection.

DOC's selections are conceived as a psychedelic adventure, taking ingredients of techno, ambient, dub, and anything thats fits into his concept of deep and hypnotic. 
His monthly podcast "Selene Series", out each full moon, is a good taste of what his sound has to offer. As a producer he journeys the depths of modular sounds from his studio in Amsterdam.

Lovely vibing atmospheres, introspective melodies and clean blends are to be expected from this trippy selection, in which the artist displays his curation skills and a great trance evolution through out the mix.

We hope you enjoy this awesome vinyl selection, by https://soundcloud.com/doc_sounds.

CODECAST X - DOC - Divine Realms

The full moon is and has always been an endless source of inspiration. For ages, it has held a strong spiritual significance and its light uncovers the mysteries of the dark night.

With Selene Series, we want to tap into that ritualistic energy and share with you sounds inspired by it. Each full moon we will share a podcast with soundscapes traveling through the realms of Techno, Ambient, Dub, Downtempo, and everything in between.

Today we present you the first installment of what we hope will be a long journey full of deep and psychedelic sounds.

Welcome to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...

Selene Series 001

We celebrate our first lap around the Sun and we do it with a very special ritual. For this milestone, we are paying homage to the sounds of Barcelona. We wanted to share the secrets of a different sound of the city, one that hasn't been talked about enough or pushed on the typical outlets as much as it should. Barcelona is a melting pot for many genres and styles where deep, hypnotic, and psychedelic electronica and ambient also find their space, but often fly under the radar of big festivals and mags. For our first anniversary and the 12th episode of Selene Series, we bring you a mix of ambient music, downtempo and hazy rhythms, and mental techno. A trip through the sounds of the city, all from labels and producers based in Barcelona and the cities and areas surrounding the city where we come from.

Selene Series 012 - Barcelona

The Harvest Moon marks the turn of seasons, and this year more than ever brings new energy and change. With it, Selene Series begins its second season recharged, bringing new names and the latest releases while staying true to our signature sound. For our 13th selection, we chose our favorite deep and ambient techno cuts from recent releases on our favorite labels.

Selene Series 013

May's full moon, known as the flower moon, blossoms in the sky. A total lunar eclipse happens at the same time. A sign of an eventful period. It has been eventful for us too since Selene Series has relocated to a new home base: Amsterdam. But this change has not stopped us from sharing a new ritual with you in the form of the 21st episode of Selene Series. For this installment we share a special recording of a session performed a year ago during the pandemic. A live recording of a DJ set, full of 'Selene classics'.. and the first session we share that has not been specifically recorded to be part of this series. Spontaneous, raw, unscripted... but as always deep, hypnotic and psychedelic.

Selene Series 023

The full moon of September brings new beginnings, but for us marks the closing of the second season of our Selene Series. We bring another vinyl only mix to celebrate two years of full moon rituals soundtracked by deep, psychedelic, and hypnotic techno, expansive ambient, dub sounds, and anything that fits into the already familiar Selene sound.

Selene Series 025

We wrap up the second season of Selene Series with a breaksy mix of the most experimental, psychedelic, and deep music. For our 24th episode, we collected some of our most leftfield tracks and those 'impossible to mix' jams and took some risks. The result is our most unclassifiable selection, ranging from 122 to 140 bpm, going from ambient to drum and bass, jungle, techno, house, and whatever you want to call it.

Selene Series 024

The second ritual of the season arrives with the Beaver moon, November's full moon. The term 'organic' has become a bit of a cliche, particularly when applied to the genres of deep electronica we love in our series. But we promise we have gone the extra mile to bring what we consider an organic sound to our latest mix. Organic can be nature, water, leaves, and that sound of field recordings... but it can also be an eerie, cold, and 'void' sound. With this mix, we tried to capture all the faces of the sounds of nature.

Selene Series 027

October's full moon announces the arrival of autumn, and as nature changes its colors, we at Selene Series change our image and present you with our new look for our third season. To start our third year of mixes we compiled a very special selection to pay tribute to one of our biggest musical inspirations: the sounds of Japan.
The country of the rising sun is an endless fountain of the sounds that we can find in this series' rituals: from the most mental ambient to the best samples of psychedelic techno. There has always been particular attention to detail, perfection of minimalism, and connection to nature when it comes to Japanese electronic sounds. In this chapter's mix, we journey through a collection of tracks by Japanese or Japan-based artists that we love, that hugely inspired our sound and that we deeply admire.

Stay warm and celebrate the arrival of January's Ice Moon. The 29th spell of Selene Series brings an ambient mixtape, inviting you to stay indoors and watch the early nightfalls of the cold months from behind the glass. Get carried away by the soothing landscapes of this beatless selection and lose track of time.

The Snow Moon ascends once again and glows high in the sky. This is the call for Selene Series to come back with another musical trip to soundtrack the full moon's journey through the sky. This ritual marks the 30th chapter of our Series, and we celebrate it with a selection that represents what 'Selene Series' is most known for: deep, dubby, and hypnotic techno.

Selene Series 030

March marks the start of spring. Plants bloom, colors fill nature, and nights are noticeably shorter. The spell of the full moon also brought us a reminder: in less than a month's time we will be dancing under its magic at Mostra Festival, for us a special one: the first festival of the year, in our hometown, with an unbeatable location, atmosphere and selection of artists. The 31st episode of Selene Series brings you a mix of songs by artists that will perform at this year's edition (like we did last year). We tried to capture in just over an hour the essence of the sound that will be displayed at Mostra, from ambient, to downtempo to deep and hypnotic techno and everything or anything in between.

The 32nd chapter of Selene Series arrives with a heavy focus on the dancefloor. Inspired by the sun beams and warmer temperatures, we venture into faster bpms, harder beats, and dancefloor rythm in this mix of full on techno. Always with the deep and hypnotic touch known in our series.

The 33rd ritual of Selene Series will arrive early and in a new format.

We have landed in Operator Radio for our first show on a radio station. We are thrilled about this opportunity, so buckle up and get ready for a light-speed trip of one hour where we will showcase what this podcast is about. We have lined up some unreleased material from familiar faces, you don't want to miss this one.

As always, curated, mixed, served, and for the first time, presented by DOC.

Selene Series 033 - Operator Radio

Our 35th episode arrives with July's full moon and with a thought to reflect upon. Inspired by some wise words from a video, we approached this mix with a gardener's mindset, instead of an architect's mindset. 

"Before laying down the first brick the architect knows the exact dimension of the house, the size of each room, and the materials they will use to pave the floor, the roof, the walls... on the other hand, creating with the mindset of the gardener, means planting a seed and simply watering it. The gardener cannot control exactly how a plant will grow, when it will choose to bloom, or what the colors will be. The gardener's responsibility is to stay persistent, to keep watering the plant so that the plant does not die. And eventually one day, the gardener will decide that the plant is beautiful enough for others to come and see it."

It's ok if things are not perfect. It's ok if, right now, not everything is ok. Be persistent. Keep watering the plant. 

For this mix, we selected some songs that we love, with no expectations, open to surprises... and we trusted in the water. The result is a mix of breaksy, psychedelic, and deep music that was healing for us to mix.

Selene Series 035

For our 36th ritual of Selene Series we went back to basics. We bring dancefloor energy with a mix of deep and psychedelic techno. Some classic, some new, straight dancefloor mental stuff. Maybe it is the festival season, the events, the afters… but something urged us to keep it functional this time, music to keep grooving to and to lose yourself into.

Selene Series 036

Our next guest After 15 years as a DJ and producer, we can safely say that DOC has traveled through most styles and genres. From hard techno free parties in Barcelona in the ‘10s to disco events in London in the ‘20s, DOC has developed a broad music taste and vinyl collection during his artistic journey.

Some years ago, he landed on a musical planet inhabited by all things deep. DOC has a genre-agnostic approach to his music selection. If it is psychedelic, ritualistic, and hypnotic, it fits. He picks from ambient, techno, breaks, house, dnb, dub, and downtempo to create a trip of his own, aiming at providing both a body and mind experience.

In his monthly podcast, Selene Series, DOC explores the different shapes that mental and psychedelic electronic music can take. Selene Series is a podcast that has been running for 3 years and is released each full moon.

Some weeks ago, just before our holiday break, we made a selection of some records in a session that truly felt like a healing therapy. With no goal or objective other than enjoying the cleansing power of sound, we made a mix of ambient, jazz, videogame soundtracks, some folk music, and honestly, whatever our soul was craving. 

The result is an (almost) vinyl only mix that has become the 41st chapter in our beloved Selene Series podcast. A listening exercise with no script in our most spontaneous set up to date. Sit back, slow down, and enjoy this horizontal sonic experience.

Selene Series 041

The full moon in February was called the Snow or Storm Moon because of the bad weather and heavy snowstorms during the season. This also made hunting difficult, so this moon was also called the Hunger Moon. 

The 43rd ritual of Selene Series arrives with the Snow Moon, and this time we soundtracked the cold with a club-ready mix of sounds from the hardest corner of the spectrum of what we like. Prepare for mind-melting soundscapes, psychedelic synth lines, and relentless rhythm, in this mix of full-on mental techno.

With the arrival of spring also comes the March full moon, which is known as the Worm Moon. The name 'Worm Moon' evokes the appearance on the surface of the first worms of the season as the ground thaws as it marks the end of winter, and is associated with abundance and the heralding of bountiful and diverse harvests.
For us, the full moon of March is always a reminder that the first festival of the season has arrived, and it has become a tradition for Selene Series to pay tribute to it with a dedicated chapter. 

Mostra is a special festival, happening in our hometown, with a beautiful line-up, iconic locations, and a loving team of people behind it, on the line-up, and on the dancefloor. 

For our 44th episode of Selene Series we weave the sounds of some of the artists performing at Mostra this year, trying to paint a sonic picture of what we will listen and dance to during the next days: from ambient, noisy experimental sounds, breaks, techno... everything under the umbrella of deep and psychedelic. You know, as we like it.

Selene Series 044

April's Pink full moon arrived fresh off the total solar eclipse earlier in the month. Quite a lot going on astronomically... but for us, below has been as busy as above. After dancing our shoes off at Mostra, we came back inspired, this time by the most experimental, mental, breaky sounds. 
Undeniably dominating now the 'deep', 'hypnotic', and 'psychedelic' realm, we find half-time sounds all over the place. Via labels like Omen Wapta, Samurai Music, Mirror Zone... or artists like Vardae, Spekki, Woody amongst many others, this 'sometimes faster, sometimes half-time' sound has risen, and the popularity of the 160-180 (or half that) is as big as ever. 
For our 45th chapter of Selene Series, we pay tribute to that side of the sound. Starting slower, moving up with a shift here and there, we visit the land of breaks, dnb, and half-time psychedelia.

Selene Series 045

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees. 

When asked about music genres, labels, or styles we enjoy… we often see the lines blurred. Sound palettes merge forming new colours, depth, and texture. Is it psychedelic techno? Is it drone ambient? Is it dub or downtempo? We see it as a continuous flowing mixture of deep, introspective, mental, and mind-bending sounds. We see it as a CONTINUUM. 

After exploring the notes of our particular continuum through our monthly podcast Selene Series, we thought it was time to invite others to pilot the spaceship through The Continuum and for us to enjoy on the passenger’s seat.

The Continuum will not be a monthly podcast, but a spontaneous celebration of the music creators that we most admire and enjoy. No scheduled uploads, and no agenda… but a free-flowing drop of sound for you to enjoy. As we join the dots to try to map out The Continuum, some of these dots are tightly close, and some of them are few and apart, and that’s fine, so will be our journey. 

The visual component of The Continuum will be delivered by the wonderful Tony Fibla. Her paintings of free-flowing, merging, and colliding colours and textures perfectly match the spirit of The Continuum (see above ;)). Her images full of nuance and intention are the ideal co-pilot for our sonic captains. 

We hope you enjoy your trip through The Continuum. 

Sasa Delimar is the first artist to place the starting dot in The Continuum podcast series. A master in intricate sound design, his productions caught our attention early on and many have found their way into our Selene Series mixes. No wonder why he has released in some heavyweights of the deep techno scene like Aleja Sanchez’s Northallsen or Polygonia’s Qeone. 

But his selections as Infinity also deserve their flowers: Monument, Crescent London, Parallel Perception or Hypnus’ The Memoir have been enchanted by his wizardry. 

It is an honour to feature the Croatian producer and dj in our new podcast series with one of his rituals and to have him slipping the first stitch as we weave the sonic cloth of our Continuum.

The moon has completed 46 cycles since we started our podcast channel. Just in time for May's full moon, we conjure our 46th ritual in Selene Series. And this one has a special significance. 

Recorded at the wonderful Bar Theo in Amsterdam, this is a live extract of the first 90 minutes of our all-night-long set last Saturday, and it is an excursion of all things DUB. 

A perfect sound for sunset or sunrise, expect a hazy atmosphere of low pass filtered goodness, vinyl crackle, tape delay and distant chords. A walk to the area where dub, not-so-dub, deep house, dubby ambient, and dub techno converge.

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The second stop as we travel through The Continuum, takes us into the sonic universe of Ryogo Yamamori. The Tokyo mainstay and underground veteran captivated us when we first visited Japan in 2019, with a set at Vent that left us speechless. Since then, he has been a favorite and one we have been following. His productions, always psychedelic but stripped-down, have made appearances in some of the techno heavyweights we all know, like Non Series, Navigare Audio, or Node Recordings. But most of his output can be found on his own fantastic label, Kagerou. 

For his Continuum contribution, Yamamori presents a slice of his take on psychedelic techno: a non-compromising approach, with an adventurous selection and impeccable mixing. One that brings the trippiness out of techno avoiding the cliches of the genre and that is undeniably Yamamori’s own vision and flavor: groovy but deep, atmospheric and hypnotic… but more importantly innovative and risky at the same time. All the ingredients you are used to, but resulting in a fresh, personal result. A selection including some of his own productions, some unreleased gems, and some “unknowns” for a dose of mystery. 

We are blessed to feature the Japanese producer and DJ with one of his rituals in our Continuum. A true master.

A new episode of Selene Series lands just after our dance under the full moon spell at La Nature festival in Belgium. But we still found some time to pay tribute to a new moon cycle despite the packed lineup and excellent atmosphere to bring you a new mix. 

For our 47th ceremony, we slowed down our pace and picked some slower jams, deep and psych-y, staying close to the 100bpm mark but still teasing your hips to give us some moves.

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

As we keep weaving our Continuum's sonic tapestry, we have reached our next stop. For our third ritual, we welcome Daniel[i] who will thread a new musical chapter for us. Daniel is an artist we have been lucky to bump into at multiple events, and no wonder why. You can find him performing one of his live or DJ sets (which have taken him to iconic clubs and festivals like OHM, Tresor, C12, Perpendicular, La Valle Electrique…) or collaborating with super projects like Circle of Live. His releases can be found on iconic labels like Alpengluhen, 012, Danza Nativa, Lowless… and we are just naming a few! He also runs the beloved Whispering Signals labels and adjacent projects. And he even has time to curate for incredible festivals like La Nature (which we had the pleasure to visit this year). A busy bee!

We are delighted to have him join The Continuum with this real treat: a recorded set during a Brandwerk anniversary event. Daniel is a master of deep and introspective sounds in any shape or form: ambient, deep techno, dub… and for this one, he delivered a delight of dub goodness: expect a deep groove that would go down a treat as a warmup or at the afters. A heads-down mix drenched in echoes and delays.  A timeless selection by Daniel.

We are soaking up all the power we can from July's full moon in preparation for the glorious musical summer ahead. And the 48th chapter of Selene Series is indeed part of that preparation: we pay tribute to one of our all time favourite events, Paral•lel Festival. 
We could try to explain the magic that takes place while nested in the Catalan mountains for three days, but words would not do it justice. Less than 3 weeks to go to see all of our friends lost in their ritual dancing, and trust us there is no better sight. 

For this mix we have collected sounds from artists performing at the festival. Hope this serves as a warm up for what's to come. Close your eyes while you listen, you might see yourself in the mountains already!

"In the shadows where the full moon whispers and illuminates us – Selene, we are called to dive deeper. This set is not a sound, but a journey – a continuum of moments blending into one another. Each beat an echo, each pause a space between worlds. Here, time bends, and we find ourselves lost in its rhythm, suspended between dusk and dawn."

DOC (@doc_sounds) landed, some years ago, in a musical planet inhabited by all things deep. DOC has a genre agnostic approach to his music selection. If it is psychedelic, ritualistic and hypnotic, it fits. He picks from techno, ambient, breaks, house, dub and downtempo to create a trip of his own, aiming at providing both a body and mind experience.

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees. 

The fourth sonic ceremony of The Continuum uncovers a hidden gem. @arsene_martinet is not one to miss, so get to follow him and discover his universe. Arsène appeared on our radar through the AEDI community and most notably through his self-released EP ‘Calling’ and since then, we have been dying to share with all of you, his craft. As an artist with a modern jazz background, Arsène infuses all his performances with improvisation and freedom. We have been following his stories and posts very closely: his recordings of live instruments that he transforms into sample libraries; his live FX chains for generative percussion; his crazy midi mappings and live racks concoctions that enable him to channel his improvisational curiosity… We see ourselves often taking screenshots to try to understand what is going on. A true ‘mad genius’ that we hope reaches many more of you. 

The result of all his experiments, like the one we present today, goes beyond your usual DJ set. 

For his contribution to The Continuum, Arsène delivered a hybrid live set, including tracks of his own, tracks from the AEDI community and many others from his favorite artists. All of this with many other elements added live: percussions, FXs, ambience, synths… creating a musical hectic adventure, dense like no other, with intricate mixing and layering and with no time for your brain to rest while in the spiral. 

Get to know the wizard that Arsène Martinet is in this new episode of The Continuum.

August's Supermoon is a rare happening, and the moon will appear bigger than usual. In line with this unique event, the 49th episode of Selene Series is certainly unusual and brings the least "Selene" sounds up to date. One thing for sure: it is surely psychedelic, experimental and breaky. Here is a personal note for context: 

"During Perpendicular 2024 I was sharing a conversation with one of the artists playing at the festival, and he mentioned that he had been listening to some Japanese Footwork and Juke and he wanted to play some during his set. His performance, closing the festival, was an absolute rollercoaster of breaks, with some of the most innovative and mind bending sounds I heard in a while. This 'Japanese footwork and juke' comment got stuck in my head, and sent me into a rabbit hole of researching and digging some music, all starting with just those words. After some months of collecting some music, I finally decided to put a mix together, quite spontaneously, using those sounds. These impossible drum patterns and breaks are challenging to grasp sometimes, not to mention to mix them, resulting in a chaotic whirlwind sometimes. But I personally enjoy seeing the result of pulling the strings out of such a small clue like what that artist shared, and materializing in one of the weirdest mixes I add to this channel." 

People who show you new music are important. 

This mix goes from 130 or so breaks to 160 footwork and juke territory, and features very heavily (although not exclusively) artists from Japan. Impossible drum patterns, otherworldly synth lines and alien grooves on this one.

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The fifth stop in our journey through The Continuum takes us to a land of tranquility, introspection and relaxation. And this exercise is guided by none other than Vand. And what can we say about his craft for those who haven't met him? A producer with a special touch for those sounds that tickle your brain, and a live performer who can also be found often behind the DJ decks. From solo lives to collaborative 5 people acts, Vand is as versatile as they come when it comes to improvising with electronics. But his sound, picking both from the deepest to the most playful, strikes a great balance for dancefloor and for "brainfloor". His project Isotoop (along with Shoal) recently materialized into wax, so seems appropriate that their first reference as Voal is our suggestion as a starting point to discover his sonic dishes. 

For The Continuum, Vand has prepared a set of deep and downtempo goodness. Expect ambient scapes, slow-ish beats and breaks, some evocative pads and emotional moments... he masterfully cooked a set that will work for a Zen moment, for a cocktail hour or for a comedown epiphany. 

We welcome Vand to our adventures through The Continuum.

September's full moon appears brighter than ever for Selene Series. Not only because we reach a milestone with our 50th mix in the series, but also because we celebrate our 4th year as a podcast channel, so happy birthday to us! There is no better moment to thank all the artists that have contributed to the hundreds of hours of music we shared, with their incredible productions or with their mixes on The Continuum. And thank you all of those who have listened to our sounds, hope you stick around because we have a lot more in the tank to share with you. 

To match this blissful moment we present you with a peak time psychedelic techno selection. We are back to the "four to the floor" with a high energy euphoric extravaganza, so fasten your seatbelt and get ready for a power-hour of TECHNO.

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full... 

Mixed by DOC.

Selene Series 050

This Sunday morning finds Brooklyn and most of New York surrounded by a cool, rainy embrace. The changing of seasons is in full effect as the summer months slowly become fond memories. Combating the cooling temperature and falling leaves, we look to DOC as his mix for today brings only the warmest of ambient sounds via a live recording from his set at Bar Theo in April.
