~ October Selected Mixes ~

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

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.

After almost half a year without updates, we finally found the time to renew the series with the kind assistance of Scav.

The main brain behind Acoustic Waves, who is also an important part of Artmospheric crew for the last few years, puts together a refined selection of high-resolution mellow downtempo/IDM stuff in his second Artmospheric Session.

Artmospheric Sessions 23 - Scav

Ebbs and Flows was chosen as the perfect platform to share a side of Romi's sound that is rarely played out but holds a very special place in his heart. The recording took place in Berlin at the studio of close friend Rami Abirafi, using CDJs and Technics 1200s.

Romi has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output, that traverses multiple facets of electronic music.  A seasoned artist and world traveler now based in Berlin, Romi has spent over two decades creating atmospheric depths with an effortless touch.

FlowCast #008 | Romi

A little surprise to ease out of the summer and reminisce on the beautiful weekend we had at Monument Festival. I’m truly grateful for all the positive feedback I’ve received, and like many of you, I also felt the need to revisit this journey. 

Since there were some latency issues with my monitoring during the set, I decided to re-record the original tracklist to share this moment together as a sonic memory.

As a third-year visitor of the festival, I can safely say that my musical journey wouldn't have been the same without all the inspiring artists I have experienced at Monument. It has expanded my horizons in such a deep and valuable way, and it felt only right to reflect that journey in my set.

The mood I wanted to creat was an excursion over "Planet Monument". A bird's-eye view of the utopian place, shaped by many different sonic qualities that together form the festival we all love so much. 

Set time: Thursday 31st of August 20:00 - 22:00

Obscure Echoes: 037 [Perpendicular 2025]

After a bubbling idea of a specific mix in his head for a while and a lot of moments digging and soaking up summer inspiration - especially from dancing at festivals like pe:rsona - the idea of this mix finally found its shape. Known for exploring across genres and energies, he lets sounds evolve in the background until they’re ready to speak again. Please welcome @nuggetbln to the next epsiode of FlowCast series.

Returning to drum and bass felt natural - like riding a bike - reviving rhythm and memory with ease. Inspired by producers who keep pushing boundaries, he channels that same momentum and emotional depth throughout this set.

What emerged feels like a personal diary entry carved in sound - raw, fluid, and heartfelt. We're excited to finally share it - enjoy the ride!

"From stillness, motion grows. After hours suspended in ambient haze, pulse and movement return - deep, measured, and alive with detail. From layered harmonics to the weight of each kick, the set unfolds like a slow ignition: serious, immersive, and unrelenting in its drive. A live moment at Mostra that reminded everyone where the dancefloor begins."

As a Mostra resident since the first edition, Timnah (@timnah-sommerfeldt) has shown throughout the previous years a great versatility, adapting to any venue and time slot of the festival always brilliantly. After closing Mostra24 in a masterful way, the Swiss artist visited Mostra25 to do a hybrid set with Mario (@mario-7), who also joined Mostra with Varuna (@varuna4053) a couple of years ago in a performance of which we also keep very nice memories.
The hybrid DJ/live set of Timnah and Mario is a match made in heaven, linking top notch selector capabilities to swirling hardware techno aesthetics and flawless execution. Both hailing from Basel, their collab also entangles the two local labels Amenthia Recordings (@amenthia-recordings) and A Walking Contradiction (@awalkingcontradiction). Through their close collaboration with both labels and heaps of collective of studio time, their musical taste and approach have become deeply intertwined, resulting in long build-ups and transcendental sound sculptures.

Mostra (@mostrabcn) is an independent, small-scale festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that emerged at the end of 2021 as a counterpoint to the macro-festivals and the overcrowded, commercial, and impersonal offerings of other large events held in Barcelona. Mostra will celebrate its fourth edition from March 12 to 15, 2026.

Don't miss the 5th edition of Mostra!!

OMM Transmission — @makiko-iwaki

For this edition, we welcome Menou, also known as Iwamaki - a Japan-based DJ and live performer exploring the deep territories of drone and ambient techno.

Her sets unfold like slow-moving landscapes, where layered textures and resonant tones invite deep focus and stillness.

This mix was recorded following her performance at Audio Base Camp #3 at YCAM in Yamaguchi - an experience she describes as one of the most powerful and immersive moments of her DJ career.

A transmission of subtle intensity and evolving depth - where each sound breathes into the next.

A slow-burning glide through hazy reverie - @leifsounds’ Patterns of Perception 123 blurs the boundary between waking and vivid dreamscape. 
Spectral melancholia suffused with gentle insistence. Sultry percussion whirs. Reflections dissolve, rhythms build.

- Hey Leif, how’s it going? What’s been happening lately?
Hey, I'm good thanks - enjoying spending some time focusing on producing / mixing again after a bit of a break! There are a few things on the horizon including some new material and some radio shows this winter.

- Tell us a bit about this mix - what was your idea or direction behind it?
It was a chance to weave together a few dreamy slow burners around the 100bpm mark I've been really enjoying recently, and feature some fresh bits from Duckett and others along the way.

- ⁠Are there any tracks or moments in the mix that feel extra special or defining to you? 
'Pick a Headline' - one I made together with Duckett will always feel like a special track - it's a few years old now but still brings serenity every time I listen.

This month's Bloom Loops recording comes from the mysterious world of Aaja resident, and NTS Radio guest selector: Mochyn Daer. Slip through a signature selection of over two hours of bubbling organic ambient, haunting cosmic rhythms and steppy half time. 

In her own words: "As we move into autumn and winter, there is a quiet decay. The outer shell all dies away, and just the roots are left. I wanted to really lean into that organic energy, when you remember that even in this season of hibernation, there is activity below the surface. Things are bubbling away, ready to rebloom in the spring. I explored the interplay between organic textures and the mechanical, that I think is at the heart of so much of the experimental deep sounds that I love"

Check out Mochyn Daer's page for recordings of her various radio show appearances, and look out for her her legendary gong bath ceremonies, which she conducted at both Monument and Ouroboros festivals this year, in collaboration with Plena Sound.
