The Observatory - ABSIS (Live Ambient Set @ Human Club, 2025)

It's an honour to welcome the lovely Joan Gila to The Observatory <3

A passionate music lover and record collector for over half his life, Joan is the curator of HOC Radio and a really beautiful label known as red edge (highly recommended if you're not familiar! stunning releases by ABSIS and Bastien <3). Alongside Javi .apart and his friend Jordi, with whom he runs the Binomi project, he co-hosts MostRadio.

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

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

This month episode of Carhartt WIP Radio is brought to you by the Amsterdam-based musician, artist, and DJ @upsammy, whose sounds map a futuristic terrain of crystalline melodies, complex rhythms, and a blend of digital and organic textures.

In 2016, she uploaded her track “Zona” to SoundCloud, which caught the attention of the Nousklaer Audio label, and led to her debut EP "Another Place" in 2018. Since then, she’s released more music on Nous'klaer, as well as on Dekmantel, Pan, and Die Orakel; held residencies at NTS Radio and Amsterdam’s club Garage Noords; and completed a degree at Utrecht University of the Arts. In 2025, she debuted a new audiovisual live show for her album Strange Meridians, released in 2024 on topo2.

For this edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, upsammy has put together a mix of her own music, spanning published work to new, unreleased material. Listen to the mix and read an accompanying interview at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

fOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, I’VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON’S CENTRE FOR PSYCHEDELIC RESEARCH. I’VE CURATED MUSIC FOR 2 TRIALS, HOPING TO TREAT PATIENTS WITH TREATMENT-RESISTANT CONDITIONS SUCH AS CHRONIC PAIN AND GAMBLING ADDICTION. DURING THE TRIAL THEY ARE GIVEN AN ‘HEROIC’ DOSE OF SYNTHETIC PSILOCYBIN (AKA MAGIC MUSHROOMS), HEADPHONES AND A BLINDFOLD. THEY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC I SELECT FOR UP TO 8 HOURS WHILST TRANSITIONING THROUGH 6 PHASES OF PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCE.

FOR MY SET AT WATCHING TREES YOU WILL HEAR SOME OF THE MUSIC I’VE SELECTED FOR THESE TRIALS.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A FOUR HOUR JOURNEY, CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FORGET ABOUT YOUR PHONE

Hailing from Denmark, Franciska unfolds a direct-to-tape recording of raw material - liminal intimacy dissolving in one continuous take, swaying between intention and evaporation.

Having released on Janushoved, Jonas Torstensen’s sound practice carries a signature of elegant tonal pallets and continues through the curatorial frameworks of Afvikling & Forlaget Kornmod.

𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕣 presents Aerae
— a voice rising from Rouen’s mist, weaving techno pulse and d&b tension into something raw, ritual, and deeply human.

Fresh from her stunning debut album Percussive Reverie (Annulled Music) and ahead of her forthcoming Nefanda on Samurai Music this July, Aerae speaks in refracted rhythms: sinewy drums, cavernous reverbs, melodies coded in Latin fragments. Dance music as incantation—dense yet breathing, suspended between rave energy and meditative drift.

In the booth, she ventures further—fusing UK-leaning sounds with trippy twists and textural experimentation. A flow that pulls body & mind into the same gravitational field.

(J’avais ce besoin de retourner à la dnb, de me replonger dans cette énergie, qui est aussi ma thérapie personnelle…)

Settle in and let this Tentacular mix carry you—hidden forests, warehouse dawns, & beyond. The currents will surely pull you under.
