Thank you Cio!!!! <3 Inspiring trip as always :)

Copy of Mostra25 Recorded Sets 🖤

There is a big black heart in Barcelona that it is still beating. Three weeks later, we’re still digesting the magic that was the fourth edition of Mostra festival. From the most intimate listening moments to collective catharsis on the dancefloor, this year was something else.

Starting from the end this year, we’re proud to present the recorded closing set from Mostra's resident ABSIS, who delivered a deeply emotional finale that distilled everything Mostra stands for: a blend of force, finesse, energy and passion — all woven into one.

Across four editions, countless moments, different days and stages, ABSIS has always been there: reading the different dance floors, adapting, connecting the dots between sound and feelings. Being a resident is more than just playing; it’s embodying the festival’s pulse, giving it identity and continuity, and raising the collective experience to another level.

If you’ve journeyed with Mostra through the years, you know how central ABSIS (alongside Timnah and Patrick Russell) has been to shaping that Mostra spirit. If you haven’t yet, you may find the chance next year.

And now, for the first time: ABSIS closing the festival. A powerful tribute to what it means to support the local scene, not just by listing names from the city, but by creating moments like this one that matters.

Bastien performed on the first day of #Mostra25 at Fabra i Coats.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Emerging as a new entity within the electronic landscape, Bastien steps forward from the shadows of past identities and older sounds. His latest evolution dives deep into vast, textured realms of drone and ambient, weaving together horizontal soundscapes with touches of lo-fi, experimental tones, and avant-garde sensibilities. With subtle hints of dub, profound bass drones, and layered textures, Bastien’s music holds an immersive quality that transports listeners to an otherworldly space.

His work finds a home on the Red Edge label, with his album Temps Boro marking a sonic journey that feels as meditative as it is intense. Festival-goers can expect an experience both introspective and expansive—a sound that doesn’t merely fill the space but transforms it, inviting each listener to lose themselves in the echoing depths and resonance of Bastien’s unique soundscape.

For our next installment, we’re honoured to welcome ABSIS back to the series with a stunning recording of his all-vinyl hybrid DJ set at this year’s Perpendicular Festival.

Equipped with an ISO420 mixer, Pulsar-23, H90 FX, three turntables, and a crate full of heavyweight rhythms, ABSIS delivered a beautifully crafted dub session that warmed the dancefloor on Saturday morning.

May these sounds ease you gently into the week ahead <3

MNMT Recordings : Glassz — Up To Date Festival 2025

Mostra and Deep Breakfast Series are collaborating for a second year to bring you home some of the sounds that echoed through the festival’s unique spaces. Mostra is an intimate, independent festival dedicated to forward-thinking and experimental electronic music, taking place over four days in Barcelona.

Among the featured performances was nigul, the ambient drone project of Jaume Muntsant (also known as Droneghost). Active since 2004, nigul explores themes of darkness and fear through dense sonic textures, field recordings, and evolving soundscapes. His hybrid set unfolded on the second day of performances at Fabra i Coats: Fàbrica de Creació.

Deep Breakfast x Mostra ~ Nigul (Hybrid Set)

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of attending the fourth edition of Mostra, one of the most beautiful, safe, and welcoming gatherings we've ever experienced. It was an intimate, four-day festival in the city of Barcelona dedicated to exploring experimental electronic music and the avant-garde — expertly curated and surrounded by a beautiful community of like-minded souls who treated us like family.

On the second day of the festival at Fabra i Coats — inside one of the most respectful and attentive listening rooms, with an audience whose silence drew you even deeper into the sound — Detroit legend and Mostra resident Patrick Russell took his place in the booth, seated this year, and delivered a deeply moving and powerful sonic trip — one we’re honored to share with you today.

A big thank you to Patrick and Mostra for giving us the opportunity to share one of our favourite performances of the festival.

Mostra x The Observatory - Patrick Russell

There is psychedelic techno, and then there is the earth shattering, mind-melting, wormhole inducing high-fidelity psychedelic techno of A Strange Wedding. A true master of cutting edge sound design and transcendental sets that have warped the very fabric of reality across the globe. 

This very special mix takes you deep into a galaxy of sounds, where each sonic filament is rendered with surgical precision and crystalline clarity. Tribalistic energy and alien textures combine to summon a kind of primal futurism. It is the sound of an ancient ceremony, conducted deep in the forest. 

Your gateway to the ancient future is now open.

MNMT 484 : A Strange Wedding

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

«The Japanese artist OCCA embodies that spirit with his solid trajectory, and his set at Mostra 2025 was perhaps the best example of how an electronic journey can be as original as it is absorbing, as nuanced and layered as it is genre-defying. Tracks unfolded with a sensitivity that challenged the very logic of convention.»

«El artista japonés OCCA encarna este espíritu con su sólida trayectoria, y su set en la edición de Mostra de este 2025 es, posiblemente, el mejor ejemplo de cómo se conjuga un viaje electrónico tan original como absorbente, tan sugerente como lleno de matices y géneros electrónicos, con tracks y una sensibilidad musical que desafían la lógica de lo convencional.»
