There’s no denying it’s been a time of deep reflection, on an individual level for us all and, of course, for our scene and its artists, promoters, agents and you guys and gals. In taking away our dance floors, and so much more, COVID nudged us to review, reflect, reminisce and re-assess, on multiple levels and in numerous ways.

As for us, we’ve certainly thought about the part we want to play in our scene going forward, reflecting on our values and refining our vision. More of this to come.

What’s been going on inside the minds of artists at such a challenging time has been a big curiosity for us. It’s therefore a huge honour to bring you this very special On the 5th Day feature, featuring a beautifully sincere and open written “reflections” from our previous resident and cherished friend, Svreca (aka Enrique Mena), together with a dynamic, raw and truly unique trip down memory lane from the man himself, in the form of an extended segment of his 2014 FRUE performance at Unit in Tokyo.

As you’ll read, Japan holds a very special place in Enrique’s heart and this night, and the creative freedom he experienced was not to be forgotten, for him or the music lovers fortunate enough to be there.

A pure, perfect, dynamic Svreca moment, oozing with originality and the Svreca flair we've grown to love.

On the 5th Day Podcast #133 - Svreca (Unit, Tokyo - 2014)

For today’s Sunday Mix, Malibu pulls together a selection of melancholic ambient sounds and soft electronic music, centred loosely around a theme of “heavy hearts, both under the same stars.”
 
With an handful of her own productions – be it under her Malibu alias, or her dj lostboi moniker – nestled alongside music from OPN, Thomas Newman, Lorn and more, expect a poignant mix with a surprise or two sprinkled in along the way.

Our next deep dive for the Portals series sees a revisit to a genre of music that heavily influenced ASIP growing up. Yes, cheese-and-chords in their full glory; classic Trance music, but with a twist, of course.

Love it or hate it, I embrace classic Trance music for its brilliance of the time, and the impact it had on me (and indeed electronic music) growing up. I’ve mentioned before how the chill-out side of Trance music was one of the many avenues to open me up to more electronic ambient music. But this isn’t the path we ended up taking for this Portals feature… more info: http://asip.me/portals10

The mix summed up by the DJ. "While rooted in the deeper end of dance music, this mix is a playful set of house and techno tracks, spiced up with idm, UK techno and more. As a contrast to my earlier mixes I tried to go for something more energetic and fitting for later hours."

VSK | THE RENEGADE SESSIONS 008

For the 19th episode of our Resilience podcast, we present the recording of Viels DJ set during our event of April 29 at the Nouveau Casino.

Class 1990, Viels was born in a little city outside Milan (Italy). Early in his adolescence he discovered techno culture inspired by a book called “TECHNO“ by Christian Zingales. Having released his first Ep on Initial Berlin in 2015, Viels continued his musical path appearing with a track on the well respected dutch imprint Dynamic Reflection, followed by his debut ep “Distrophism” and contributing for the 10 years anniversary of the label, among some of the most recognised artists in the scene : Donato Dozzy, Mike Parker, Shifted, Oscar Mulero, Blawan, Ness, Jeroen Search and many more.

Co-owner with Francesco della Sala of “End Of Perception”, Viels just released on label such Warm Up, Non Series, Semantica Records,Mord, Edit Select and Dynamic Reflection.
Currently resident at the well known Acquario party in Milan and with an increasing interest and having performed in quality line-ups around the globe, with the likes of Reeko, Oscar Mulero and Dasha Rush to name a few, Viels is establishing himself as part of a new wave of djs and producers approaching the contemporary techno scene.

Résilience Podcast 019 - Viels at Nouveau Casino 29.04.2023

As a well-established artist, Rommek has expanded his own sound, carving his way into the current techno and experimental scenes. His extensive interest in sound design is crafted within the dense atmospheres, heavy broken rhythms and electrifying tones found within his productions.

The London based producer released his debut record 'Thought Patterns' on Weekend Circuit in 2014. Rommek later joined the seminal Blueprint Records in 2016, gradually releasing five solo EPs, plus remixes from label owner James Ruskin and Broken English Club, O/V/R, Makton. Since then, he’s had a steady output of releases on Dutch imprint Leyla Records, Natural Selection as well as Mord, Hex, Loose Lips and collaborative release with the Spanish duo NX1 in 2022. Rommek’s latest EP pushes his creative boundaries one-step further, as the UK Producer makes his debut on Tommy Four Seven’s - 47 imprint. Exploring futuristic techno fused with 180 BPM IDM/ D&B crossovers.

Torn Relics, the experimental project between Rommek + Aimee Mullen was formed during 2018. Their debut EP, The Poisoned Chalice, released on Sacred Court, featured a remix by label owner SNTS. In 2020 the duo’s debut album: Abolish The Dogma, was released on Leyla Records, followed by ‘Burning Injustice’ in 2021 via Instruments of Discipline.

Since releasing over 10 EP's, Rommek has gained a wide range of noteworthy support, from BBC Radio 1, to many features and reviews in Mixmag, The Wire, The Quietus and Fuze magazine. In 2018 he was featured within the top 100 globally charted artists on Resident Advisor. Furthermore, as a touring DJ, he has played in over 20 countries around the globe. From this, it’s clear that Rommek is driven to continue expanding his capabilities and keep things moving forward.

#SlamRadio - 564 - Rommek

A showcase of individual tracks from our 2023 label releases and a special continuous mix of select tracks from https://soundcloud.com/djtodos
It’s become somewhat of a tradition since our first annual compilation release in 2019, and each year I find it tough to separate tracks from their album releases in this way. We pride ourselves on delivering an album format, and more often than not, specifically a conceptual album format that works best as a whole. So I appreciate the artists who allow us to separate their musical children for this worthy annual exercise. It’s so easy to skip over releases nowadays - at no fault of anyone but the pace of life and technology today - and so this compilation not only helps us reflect on the year gone by, but also ensures anyone new to the label, or dipping in and out over time, can get a taste of what we have proudly spent our time and passion presenting this year. Please take the time to visit each respective artist's release to realize its full form. 

Not only is separating tracks from an album format a formidable task, but finding a way to combine them in one seamless mix is even more so. Once again, we’ve asked our esteemed todos to provide the continuous mixed version. Creating a flow using a limited predetermined set of music across a variety of styles, moods, and tones is an almighty feat. But no-one does it better than todos. Here, he is left to his own devices as we have grown to admire time and time again, using snippets and samples from many of the releases, but focusing on delivering a long-form mix that stands on its own, using nothing but the ASIP 2023 library of music. 

It was a year that introduced new faces to the label with Iceland’s Gunnar Jónsson Collider providing a spectacular audio-visual experience in S.W.I.M, and welcoming Germany’s Mary Yalex who explored imaginary worlds of fascinating texture and melody. We fulfilled a long-awaited foray into more classic trance styles through the exciting Mikkel Rev, and finally presented the magical drums of Alex Albrecht’s heart-warming soundscapes. Max Würden continued his foray into expansive sonics with Landmark, and Quiet Places returned with their second Volume of psychedelic long-form trips into the unknown. One Million Eyes returned with more compelling genre-defiant magic, and OKRAA brought his live edits of his debut album 1994 to life once more. 2023 will also be remembered as the year Brock Van Wey’s Earth House Hold project came both full circle, and full stop. The last track title on this compilation coincidentally represents the perfect swan song for a project that has found a home on ASIP for the past five years. 

Thanks for all your support, comments and encouragement this year. We have an exciting 2024 lined up.

Unnatural Versions 008 | @obsidiaan

In the eighth episode of Unnatural Versions by Granular Spectrum, we delve into the enigmatic world of Øbsidiaän, the musical project of the duo formed by Héctor Tlaseca and Yves del Río. These talented artists, originally from Mexico and now residing in Barcelona, offer us a Drum n Bass set that defies the conventions of the genre with its unique and bold approach.

From the first beats, Øbsidiaän captures our attention with a solid rhythmic foundation that is both hypnotic and unpredictable. Their music is characterized by cold and dark textures that create an eerie and captivating atmosphere. Each track is a sonic journey that leads us to explore auditory landscapes full of complexity and depth, where layers of sound unfold and intertwine to form a sonic narrative that challenges and surprises the listener.

Héctor and Yves' ability to fuse natural elements with meticulous production is evident in every moment of the set. Their music is challenging and unexpected, taking Drum n Bass to unexplored territories and pushing the boundaries of what the genre can offer. The textures and nuances they create are not only captivating but also evoke a range of emotions that keep us on the edge of our seats.

In this episode, Øbsidiaän invites us to immerse ourselves in their sonic universe, where darkness and beauty coexist in perfect harmony. It is an auditory experience that not only envelops us but also challenges us to reconsider our perceptions of Drum n Bass. Get ready for a sonic journey that will leave you wanting more, as Øbsidiaän guides us through their unique and evocative vision.

MWTG 363 | Hod (@951012)

·

Hod is a concept that arises from the belief in the liberating power of sound, which seeks to generate contrast with marked percussive elements and deep harmonies consistent with the polarity and the existing energy balance, balance that involves the relationship with the natural elements and the use of these as tools of artistic expression from the spiritual, symbolic and expressive force of each sound, of each element, of each frequency that gives the artist the ability to interpret a story that transcends the surreal interpretation. Emerging from the city of Medellin (Colombia), with particular interest in contemporary sound, specifically within electronic music through techno, ambient and experimental sound. With releases on labels such as Secuencias Temporales, Deflection Music, Profundo Collective, Circular Limited, Khoros, BAHN among other labels.

Welcome to yet another hypnotic experience, in this case by the great https://soundcloud.com/mateohurtadomusic.

Mateo Hurtado creates hypnotic techno and experimental music. Inspired by the surrealist movement, obscure symbolism and ritualistic incantations, his music seeks to invoke the hidden, impossible images buried in the unconscious.

Be it as a DJ or live performer, his intuitive approach seeks to overcome conventional boundaries of the genre, sending the listener on an ever spiralling journey through polyrhythmic drumwork imbued with otherworldly melodies and dronelike, shifting atmospheric soundscapes.

He has released on labels like Annulled Music, Secuencias Temporales, Space Drum Meditation and Accents Records among others.

Into The Abyss Special Mix | Mostra 2024 - Toxido Mask

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.

Ørphisrā | Adelia

Originating from Czechia but now residing in Spain, our next guest for the series is the ever growing artist ‘Adelia’. Taking utmost care in her track selection, her love for deep techno and all things nature is the impetus force behind her mixes.

With an array of past features, notably for ‘Art Bei Ton’, ’Temple’ and more recently, ‘Monument’. Adelia has a profound place in the techno scene. 

With inspiration drawing from the infinite universe. Atmospheric pads, perpetuating textures and cyclical rhythms make her sound somewhat perennial; just as the universe may itself be.

Ørphisrā | Adelia

Svreca. Four To Eight / Berlin. 11/04/2015.

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

Exploring the unknown inevitably brings surprises, and the magical sound universe we are traveling in only delivers good ones! As we survey The Continuum, we have been blessed with a new sonic territory to scout. The host welcoming us to this new musical biome is no other than David Ortolà aka d_o_ppelgaenger. 

It was a while ago when we discovered David’s d_o_ppelgaenger moniker. It was in a mystical hut in the forest, in the middle of nowhere, lost in Spain, surrounded by friends. His performance left a mark on us, so we couldn’t be more honored to welcome him to our Continuum adventures. 

The music of d_o_ppelgaenger is far from convention. Always in restless motion between introspective or atmospheric moments, and emotional melodic passages. No bread and butter ambient here: one second you are in a concrete avant-garde sounding scape, and the next a broken beat is gently stroking your hips. Moments of submerged deep techno, touches of noise. A push and pull, a back and forth, a conversation held from the furthest corners of sound. 

‘Restless’ fits David quite well. Composer, producer, performer and professor. As a solo artist, he has composed multiple electronic, ambient and techno works, modular scores as Grooves #1 (2017) and Déjà vu (2024), or unique musical events such as Efímeras for 20 Pianos (2011). He is also half of the revered act Pajaro Dune together with Estrato Aurora. They have performed at beloved events like Espacio Perpendicular, Parallel, and released on labels like Alpenglühen or Grabaciones Perpendiculares. They also recently launched their own label, Sediments, featuring the recording of that magic forest hut performance I told you about. Not to be missed. 

What about his gift to The Continuum? d_o_ppelgaenger brings a live recording of his performance for the 8th edition of the Volumens Festival. His spell took over the Jardí del Centre d’Arts Digitals Bombas Gens in València, on the 17th of October last year. Not by chance and always pushing the envelope, the live set is designed based on (8x2)+1=17 numerical proportions. Another flawless live execution of the sound we described above. Get ready for a mesmerizing experience by the maestro d_o_ppelgaenger. Thank you for opening the gates to your music land.

The Continuum: d_o_ppelgaenger

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

We take off to continue our voyage joining the dots of The Continuum, and this was the time our mission gave in to the pull of a force that, since day one, has been beeping in our sonic radar and marked as a ‘not to miss’. We explore total outlandish territory here with a unique selector that challenges genres, labels, and preconceptions. We salute Josephine’ Soundscapes.

Josephine’ Soundscapes is the moniker of Jose Salas, an audiovisual creator, art director, and active promoter of alternative culture in Madrid. When it comes to music, he has been an active participant in shaping Madrid’s underground electronic music scene for over 20 years. Founder and collaborator of many musical and cultural projects over the years, his current ones include Campos de Marte, an expanded radio project dedicated to experimental music, and the curation of Temple, a series of listening sessions at Espacio Perpendicular.

And that would be an “official” glimpse at his resume. But the gravity magnet of Josephine’s musical choices gets out the personal in me.

And CHOICES here is the word. Because what makes Jose’s sound impossibly unique is his brave choices. Placing himself in the crossroads of experimental, ambient, avant-garde and electronics is not a chance. His landing space has enabled him to explore, what I believe, is his superpower: a keen eye for mega-bold selections. He embodies the concept of “the sound you didn’t know you needed” and does so to an extreme. I have never heard stylistic picks like his ones, but the resulting collage often conveys a similar something: anachronistic sounds that bring psychedelia of past times. A touch of absurdism. Contemporary WTF-ism. A mastery of the surreal. And, having been lucky enough to attend to a couple of his in-person rituals, his takes always blow minds, make audience connect with each other, smile in joyous disbelief, and ask “are we really listening to this, right now, and works so well?”. 

What we present today for the next chapter in The Continuum is the re-recording of his set for a dreamy event put together by Mostra and Introspective Electronics in London. A special selection focusing on women, as the event took place on the 8th of March. Get ready for a take on psychedelia like you have never heard before. And welcome to a musical world not bound by space or time, where anything and everything can fit, and where the master selector will pick the most unexpected. Welcome to Josephine’ Soundscapes.

The Continuum: Josephine' Soundscapes

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

As we keep navigating the musical constellation of The Continuum, we finally get to explore the sounds of an artist that we love and respect. Whether through co-founding Delayed or his “Sundays are for…” series… you should already know who we are talking about. We welcome Hue to our channel! 

Zach is a fellow music lover or maybe should I say obsessed. One of those that would and does cross the ocean to join events and discover new sounds. We met at Parallel last year, and I finally got to see him play (twice) last month. “Sundays are for…” is a true classic when it comes to ambient and soothing sounds, and many of you might have thought that this is what Hue is about… but let me tell you something, Fridays are for Hue too! 

The magic happened during the HOC x Delayed event at Laut last month. Hue on the closing slot, and the rest is history. We couldn’t be happier to host this recording, a masterclass from Hue on high energy selection, with an eclectic and diverse set. Walking the line between brainy and cheeky fun. One that left us with a smile in our face (and wishing the event went on for a couple hours more). 

Tune in for a slice of what the Delayed crew brought to Barcelona on that night, with Hue in complete control!

The Continuum: Hue

There are moments in time that encapsulate and represent everything this project stands for. Connection through music, friendship, trust and creativity. Sharing via sound and etching magical moments and experiences in our minds. And thanks to Perpendicular, we might run out of space to store these experiences sooner than we thought. 

Some times music can't be explained and moments can't be captured. But also, some other times, someone was thoughtful enough to record. And luckily, this time, the latter happened, and we have been blessed with the opportunity to share this one of a kind performance. 

Alex, Javi and Joan are a treasure. Connectors, multipliers, and those special types of characters that make all of us grow a bit more. They nurture people and scene around them. And this time, they chose to tell the story of the story that was going on and at the story place itself.  Of course, with their twist. With an approach to art that does not compromise on craftsmanship to deliver a witty, psychedelic and mind altering performance. 

I will leave it to them to explain: 

"RARs is a happy idea brought to life by ameeva, Javi, and Joan Gila. They call themselves modern-day jesters, and this little equation captures their essence perfectly.

Dadicated to “la querida cabaña” 

Setup:
ameeva: Expressive E Osmose + Electron Digitakt
Joan Gila: G&L Tribute Legacy + Strymon Big Sky + Landscape Ferrous 
Javi: Chase bliss Mood + Chase Bliss Gen Loss + OTO Boum + Ipad 
Tascam model 12 + mic Shure SM57LC

This live is a heartfelt tribute to our favourite room in Perpen — a truly magical space.

It is from this very place that a parallel story arises — one absent from Cervantes’ written pages, yet whispered among the wisest and most hidden tongues. They say that once, during a peculiar detour and a wildly psychedelic journey, Sancho Panza and Don Quixote stumbled upon “La Cabaña”.

There, a druid and a paladin — as if summoned from some arcane legend — welcomed them warmly and invited them to spend the night. What followed, it is said, did not unfold in La Mancha, but in this very sanctuary of surreal encounters and mystical energy.

This tale is not found in the official texts, yet it lives on through oral tradition, echoed like a folk myth among those who know where to listen.

We are also sharing the English (Old-style) translation of the story (spoken word), as it is recited in Castilian Spanish.

The Continuum: RARs live - Perpendicular 2025

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

We all have core memories of special dancefloor moments. Audience fully hypnotised, beating as one, lost in the music. Pure instinct, and the wildest spirit within each one shining through. Some artists have an uncanny ability to channel that. And today we present 2 masters at making those moments happen, via Perpendicular Festival 2025. Part of the Ouroboros takeover on Friday night, their performance at the event was one for the books. 

Toé, one of the minds behind EWO collectif and the Ouroboros project, has been mesmerising audiences with some stellar performances. A testament to it was her set just a couple days ago on her home turf, when we witnessed her sorcery at the peak of it's powers. With music that taps into the most feral and primal, it's hard to explain the purity of the feelings she conveys with her mixes. One thing is for sure, Toé has an ability to get your inner animal manifest on the dancefloor. 

Vardae needs no introduction at this point. His releases on Samurai Music or Non Series have established him in that "timeless" space of music creators. One to blame for the expansion on half time and dnb sounds into new psychedelic territory. Vardae is at the very front of a movement that unites breaks, tribe, trancey sounds and techno energy into a new irresistible ritual. His live performance gets better every time, and he turned Ouroboros upside down a couple of days ago. 

Together, you can only imagine what these magicians summon with their sonic potions. And Perpendicular was the cauldron in which their perfect mix took shape. Impossible drum patterns, enchanting atmospheres and their particular flare for transcendental sounds. Combined, these two take their wizardry to the highest levels. 

We couldn't be happier to host these two beloved artists, friends and amazing creatives. Inspiring humans that we always wanted to have in our channel. Infinite gratitude to Melu, Cedric, and the Perpen team for letting us host this piece of musical history. This is HUGE.

Helena Hauff et Umwelt se connaissent bien. La hambourgeoise est en effet l’une des signatures du label Rave or Die dont le fondateur n’est autre que…  Umwelt. Il faut dire que les deux producteurs ont tout pour s’entendre. Ils partagent en effet un goût prononcé pour une techno brute, sombre et glaciale.

Autre point commun, Helena Hauff et Umwelt sont chacun à la tête d’un ou plusieurs labels : Return to Disorder pour elle, New Flesh, Shelter, Fundata et donc Rave or Die pour lui. Une manière pour ces deux jusqu’au-boutistes d’éviter les concessions, d’évoluer au rythme de leurs envies dans les méandres de l’underground. Entre noirceur et complicité, ce versus franco-allemand s’annonce donc sous les meilleurs auspices !
