HOWLONGISNOW #9 - Iwamaki

"Two hours of an immersive soundtrack, weaving through ambient frequencies and bursts of pure eclecticism. With great elegance, the narrative of this journey is simply captivating, building to a cathartic release. Two hours of deep listening and total enjoyment, filled with musical gems and honey for the ears."

GIOGIA — #10 w/ GRåZON

"Magic emanates from the Temple, guiding us through a sensory journey in constant motion. From deep, intriguing frequencies that stir the soul, to delicate, shimmering soundscapes reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's ethereal worlds. A masterpiece woven in waves - raw, immersive, and alive - urging you to feel, imagine, and connect."

d_o_ppelgaenger (@d_o_ppelgaenger) - aka David Ortolà - is a pianist, composer, producer, and educator. He is a partner in Estrato Aurora alongside Jaime Romero - aka Pajaro Dune (@pajaro_dune) - and co-founder of the newly launched Sediments label. The label’s inaugural release is also d_o_ppelgaenger’s debut solo album, Live at Perpendicular (2024): https://sedimentslab.bandcamp.com/.

His music and live performances explore the boundaries between acoustic and electronic soundscapes, weaving a narrative sound design that thrives on contrast and tension. Employing a wide range of aesthetics, often juxtaposed in a chiaroscuro of styles and ideas, d_o_ppelgaenger blends classical instrumentation, electronic synthesis, field recordings, and SuperCollider-based tools. His work traverses the liminal space between divergent musical languages, aiming to create immersive perceptual experiences that seek to bridge the gap between the familiar and the incomprehensible.

The producer best known as Huerco S. accompanies One Day, our record of the year, with two hours of minimal and dub introspections.

This summer, Kansas-raised DJ and producer Brian Leeds released One Day under his revived Loidis alias. Enamoured with the restrained, loopy sounds of early '00s dance music, the album’s eight tracks linger in the air, luxuriating in dubbed-out chords, swung beats and sub vibrations. It's our favourite record of 2024 for a reason. 

It's a sound he's coined, in his typically teasing fashion, "dub mnml emo tech." All winks aside, it’s no wonder One Day became the soothing balm we all needed. In a scene overwhelmed by hard and fast trends, the softer—and Leeds might argue, more sincere—stylings of minimal and dub techno enjoyed a welcome second wind. 

Not only was One Day one of our favourites of the year (more on that this week), but it also inspired us to break our usual no-repeats rule, inviting Leeds back to the RA Podcast under a different alias after his 2019 turn as Huerco S. 

"The prevailing trends in dance music are more and more maximalist," Leeds noted. "I missed restraint, subtlety, and sensuality." Clocking in at just under two hours, RA.965 embodies that ethos in spades.

Recording of Lynne's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024
Mastering by Ryosuke Tsuchiya

Lynne is a Japanese artist who explores the outer realms of techno, experimental, and drum 'n'bass. First emerging in 2013 as part of Tokyo's underground scene, Lynne established herself quickly, winning the Samurai Music Mix competition and playing regularly at respected Tokyo institutions. Over time her sound evolved from its DnB roots to include more textural, obscure and experimental layers as she became fascinated with building emotive atmospheres and twisting them to her rhythm. Now an Astral Industries and Unknown Species resident, Lynne resides between Tokyo and London. She is an artist who is most comfortable in the grey space between genres, where her rhythm is a gravitational force pulling dancers in all the right directions.

[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.

It's with great pleasure that we welcome Spanish maestro ABSIS to The Observatory, who gifts us with a special live ambient set, performed and recorded earlier this month at Human Club's third anniversary celebrations in Barcelona.

Thank you, Salva. Stunning <3

Some words by Joan about the mix:

"I always like to conceptualize my mixes. It helps me set boundaries and avoid falling into the endless musical rabbit hole - which, frankly, can be overwhelming. This particular mix took me time to find its definitive form. After my latest vinyl purchases over the past few months, as well as an exploration of CDs (a whole fascinating world in itself), I was finally able to define its premise.

The mix unfolds across four movements. Three of them are based on a deconstruction of a long-form minimalist drone composition, layering elements of field recordings, electroacoustics & musique concrète, or additional drones. Each movement explores textures, dialectics, and microtonalism respectively. In between, the remaining movement serves as a purely experimental interlude.

This time, I can’t provide a tracklist - I couldn’t even say exactly what I used or in what proportion. The selection flows together in a way that’s hard to pinpoint, with a mix of works and pieces that come together naturally. That said, I can share that it features a strong presence of musique concrète and electroacoustic works from the '70s and '80s, including artists like Jep Nuix, Olly Wilson, Hans Roosenschon, and Anne Ben Hammou, along with revered names in drone and minimalism like Éliane Radigue, Bernhard Günter, Sarah Davachi, or Toshiya Tsunoda. There are also more recent sonic experiments and compositions – names like Richard Chartier, Steve Roden, Pablo Diserens, Jana Winderen, ENA, or Lotus Eater - some of which we’ll have the chance to experience at Mostra. And of course, there are also tracks from friends - this time, Oisatsana, ABSIS, and Menhir."

The Observatory - Joan Gila

"It had to burn. The solar flares came summoning in waves of a distorting orange and gold that stretched across the Sun’s fury. The force itself was determined to strip her bare, to leave nothing but the pulse of its annihilation. Her skin began to burn beneath its weight, a searing warmth she couldn’t avoid or embrace. With each flare, something of her began to shed, pieces of identity glitching away like ash. There was a low hum, as though reality itself was malfunctioning, its edges distorting, flickering under the weight of what couldn’t be undone. The universe had turned inward, had folded itself into a singular moment, there was no one left to blame, no one to look to but herself."

Dima (@isdima) is an American-Argentine music producer, researcher, and founder of Irradia, a platform based in Barcelona that designs listening sessions and multidisciplinary experiences. Her practice examines how sonic and spatial identities can reshape memory, future narratives, and collective processes by inviting emotional engagement and cultural growth in more nurturing environments. Currently, she’s preparing to release her debut EP, Salva.
