It is with great pleasure to feature talented emerging artist Aerae for our 24th Herbarium episode. She convinces us with the great energy that her productions and mixes radiate. Trippy, tribal characteristics combined with experimental soundscapes is what we grasp from her output.

Aerae chose the plant Calea zacatechichi as inspiration for her mix.
It is a shrub found throughout Central America, especially in the highlands of Mexico. Indigenous people prepare a ritual infusion with its leaves, which resemble nettle leaves. After drinking it, one lies down and experiences the ensuing dreams which are believed to provide insights into healing current ailments.

Some words about her thoughts behind the mix : 
I have therefore imagined an entire journey of what this plant provides when consumed. From the very first seconds to the last. Passing through different states, different sensations, and encounters. Datura Stramonium is a psychoactive deliriant traditionally used in folk medicine and occult ritual. The drug induces a state of total confusion and disassociation, with users reporting not knowing where they are for days at a time. Join me on this long strange trip.

Herbarium No 24 - Aerae - Calea Zacatechichi

Laura MRLS LIVE at Solstice 2024

Recording of Nathalia's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024

Naturally active person, in 2014, Nathalia founded Experiment Intrinsic – a hidden art dimension organically blended with the visual and musical imagination. A pivotal change, in which she pursued a path of deeper self inquiry and progression of sound, shifted her from the dance-floor oriented music and into ambient soundscapes. Her influences drew increasingly from experimental electronic, as well as traditional and spiritual genres. The following years were dedicated as developing the project into a dynamic and constantly evolving audio-visual platform.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Nathalia [Les Chaos Ambiants]

Welcome to the final edition of the Midgar Records takeover. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Berlin-based label took over our mix series for the entirety of September, showcasing work from some of the label's closest affiliates including Aa Sudd, Tammo Hesselink and Keplrr. To round things off, we have label founder Severja contributing a mix that highlights his breadth of influences that are also channeled through Midgar Records output. The mix spans across drum & bass, wonked-out techno, trippy percussive rhythms and trance-like soundscapes. The session also ties in nicely with our 200th mix!

Founded in 2014, Severja launched Midgar Records as a label that leaves the trends behind and instead focuses on bringing together a melting pot of artists who are pushing music forward through their modern take on techno that showcases the soundscapes mentioned above. In the label's bio on Soundcloud it says, 'a sound that tells stories as people dance'.  Launching on a very strong foot with the first release by Wata Igarashi, Midgar Records has since gone on to house records from the likes of Ruff Cherry, Von Grall, Forest Drive West, Retina.it, natural/electronic.system., Priori, Agonis, Tammo Hesselink, Polygonia, OK EG and many more. In addition to the releases, Severja has taken the label and its artists around the world with showcases in Krakow, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin, Barcelona, Medellin, Oslo, and Milan to name a few.

To accompany the final mix in the takeover, we spoke to Severja about how it feels reaching the 10th anniversary of the label, how Midgar has evolved over the years, experiences bringing the label to club spaces, the story behind signing Wata Igarashi for the first record and the inspirations behind the label's curation and art direction.

This mix is about that sort of 'tunnelling' feeling when you're locked in on the early morning dancefloor - it's a collection of hypnotic rhythms and atmospheres that dance between halftime and fulltime, something I always find exciting and quite playful.
