Year of Music: September 12, 2025

With the summer festival season drifting into memory, it feels like the right moment to linger on one of the most thoughtfully shaped events in recent years. The Mostra Festival unfolded over the Easter weekend across two Barcelona locations, and what set it apart wasn’t just the programming, but the curation - a balance of trust, patience, and precision. The first two days leaned toward the ambient and the experimental, tipping into rhythm as the nights wore on. Yet the real magic of that opening stretch lay in the beatless hours. Friday in particular offered a moment that still reverberates among Mostra regulars and beyond: Robert Henke’s performance of Dust. If there is any place in the world designed for such a work, Mostra provided the perfect frame. For one afternoon, Henke held the crowd in complete attention and reverence, something essential for any artist, but especially for one whose work is as delicate, shifting, and expansive as Dust.

For many of us, Robert Henke, Monolake to longtime listeners, has been a constant presence in the background of our musical lives. His records shaped taste, his performances redefined how electronic music could be experienced live, and his role as co-creator of Ableton changed the very tools we use to make and share sound. Few artists can claim such a dual legacy: architect of both the music and the machinery. Whether in moments of joy or frustration, whether in the studio or on the dancefloor, it’s impossible to imagine modern electronic music without his fingerprints on it. Henke embodies the link between technological innovation and artistic expression, and his influence runs deeper than most of us can trace.

Dust is perhaps the clearest expression of that link. Powered by a custom granular synthesis engine, it reduces sound to particles, field recordings, analog tones, machine hiss, bells, and waves, then disperses them into clouds that evolve in real time. The result is less like a composition and more like a living organism: fragile, unpredictable, always becoming something new. At Mostra, this unfolding took shape in late afternoon, after Patrick Russell’s set had sharpened the air with its own restraint. Henke stepped in with a 360-degree surround system that transformed the floor of Fabra i Coats into a resonant body. The sound was cosmic and liquid, grainy and immense, stretching outward until it seemed to erase the horizon. Every surface in the space shimmered with detail, as if the air itself had been tuned. What made it remarkable was how fragile it all felt. Nothing was forced; every movement seemed to arise on its own, like dust caught in late-afternoon sunlight. Yet the immersion was total. People surrendered, leaning into the space as if trying to hold onto something that could never be held. For that hour, Mostra wasn’t a festival anymore. It was a room of people floating together in a world made entirely of sound, knowing it would never happen in quite the same way again.

Delayed x Mostra: Robert Henke presents Dust

This is a special set recorded from a live radio show.  It's not my usual progressive house sound, but it contained a special message in support of mental health.  Tracks picked were relevant, by name or by how it made me feel and it helped to launch an event in support of a local charity too.

If you're in the UK and on the south coast, come down to Suburbia in Southampton on 4th October.  Consider indulging in some SOCO LOCO magic, get trancey and vibe with us.  All ticket sales will be donated to No Limits (https://nolimitshelp.org.uk/) supporting young people with life changes, mental health, financial difficulty and more.

Mystic Creatures - this one was beyond everything else. Playing this closing while a blood mood eclipse was hitting the ground turned into one of the most intense festival gigs ever. 

It was out of world, we are out of words. Thanks to Elias and Naicet for making this happen, biggest shoutout to all ravers and the crew for the outstanding support. 

this one will stay forever <3

Red Hot Ramble, a New Orleans-inspired quintet from Toronto, Ontario, performing a track called You Don't Know My Mind.  This was recorded at Cambridge JazzFest 2025 while I was mixing front-of-house, and was later mixed and mastered in my studio.

It was an honour to close the Mystic Creatures Festival, even though I was feeling really anxious right before my set. 🫣
However, within seconds, you gave me all the energy and confidence I needed to guide everyone through the final set of the festival.✨
Thank you so much for giving it your all — this was definitely something special!🥹

Love,
PV 🖤

🌑 Welcome to my spectrum 🌕

Myrte Hiss 🌓 Lamírla
TECHNO • MELODIC FLOW

These aliases represent two distinct contrasts within one musical spectrum. 

Lamírla embodies a lighter, melodic side, while Myrte Hiss channels a darker, techno-driven sound.

🌑 ᴍʏʀᴛᴇ ʜɪss • ᴅᴀʀᴋ ᴍᴏᴅᴇ 🌑
Inspired by minimal art music, including the works of Phillip Glass and Steve Reich, Myrte Hiss has been captivated by the hypnotic allure of repetitive music patterns and harmonious sounds since a young age.

In contrast, she grew up with Dutch trance, hardcore and hardstyle music in the ’90’s and ’00’s, later shifting her focus to techno. Myrte is a raver at heart with a soft spot for the harder styles.

This combination is reflected in her music, where she blends repetitive spacey melodies with intense bass sounds. Her sets are high in energy yet flowy. 

Between 2013 and 2023, Myrte lived on the Caribbean island Bonaire. With no techno scene and a scarcity of good electronic dance music in general, Myrte created a scene with a handful of other music enthusiasts. This is where she established her name in the region.

🌕 ʟᴀᴍíʀʟᴀ • ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴍᴏᴅᴇ 🌕 
Residing in the tropics for a decade and a year in Latin America, Myrte absorbed organic sounds, infectious Latin beats, whispers of indigenous traditional music, and the vibrant energy of Afro house. It was here that her alias, Lamírla, was born – the lighter side of Myrte Hiss.

As a resident DJ at various beach clubs, Lamírla is renowned for her extended sets (6+ hours), which reflect her passion for flowy, spacey melodies, and harmonious natural sounds. 

In 2022, she introduced Ecstatic Dance on Bonaire, creating musical journeys and safe spaces for people to experience natural highs and emotional releases through music.

With an ongoing drive for connecting, learning, and self-development, Myrte returned to the Netherlands in 2023, where she has brought her sound to iconic venues such as Thuishaven, TivoliVredenburg and Paradiso Amsterdam.

He's in demand at the most recognized clubs & major festivals alike, thanks to his dynamic sets, unmistakable passion for music and excellent instinct for the vibe on the dance floor.
