"Nymphaeaceae (water lily) symbolizes birth, death, eloquence, harmony, life, modesty, purity of heart, rebirth, soothing, and sun. An ancient Egyptian myth tells of how the Sun God was born of a Nymphaeaceae blossom to light up the dark world." -- The Complete Language of Flowers

"I wanted to record a set with faster pace and a higher energy and I had put together a playlist with recent favourites in that category - but when I started recording, the tracks I had gathered didn't really fit the vibe at that moment (mainly because I was recording in a studio and not at a party) so I dug into other folders and made some spontaneous choices. 
the mix still became energetic and pacey but more suited to the listening experience."

OHBE (Ohm Town) is one of the places where I’ve had one of the most comfortable and beautiful experiences with how music can sound. Crystal-clear, warm, and crisp ; the kind of speakers that let you truly feel and rediscover your music.

It was the first day of August, on a delightfully gentle morning, during which we spent three hours travelling through emotions and juggling with energies.

This mix is one of the most sincere I’ve recorded in a long time. A set where I felt deeply free to connect with my inner emotions, and with the crowd, thanks to the intimate scale of the venue.

It was recorded live at OHM.Town on August 1st, 2025, during the afterparty of our HORS-SOL gathering, held the same day at the wonderful Macadam venue in Nantes.

As summer's warmth dissolves into the autumn breeze and the silence of shorter days descends, we're honored to welcome BLNDR to the series, sharing a mix that's a sonic companion for the season's transition.

BLNDR is a French electronic music producer based in Paris.
Deep beats, percussions, and atmospheric elements have always been central to his sound. He took his first steps into electronic music with the release of his debut EP on Hypnus Records in 2014. 

~ Check out his recent release on Hypnus Records entitled "Radiolaria": https://hypnus.bandcamp.com/album/radiolaria ~

About the mix he said:
"This recording captures the essence of open-air ambient performances set amidst nature's splendor, where music seamlessly blends with the sounds of the wild – vaporous melodies entwining with the songs of cicadas and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze."

This month I had the pleasure of hosting Squallfront, top dogs from Ecke Records, on KMAH Radio. We had a wonky half-hour live session and they brought some killer tunes for the subsequent b2b. Lots of unreleased stuff inside!
