78 minutes of pure, exquisite beauty!🤍

A perfect one, beautiful soundscape from the beginning on 🌅

at dawn on Sunday, Alfonso treated us to 4 hours of music, mingling dub techno and minimal, all slowed down and jammed on vinyl.

"When I arrived at the stage, the sun hadn't risen yet. Mine was the first performance on @klapenunsen stage, and the music from the other stage was still playing in the background. It was a cold morning, and I thought there wouldn't be many people at the beginning, but It was a pleasant surprise when, after the main stage last performance ended, a large crowd gathered and filled the stage even before my music started. 

I performed a minimal dubby techno set, playing both current tracks and classics of the genre. Although I didn’t feel entirely comfortable in the beginning of the set, when I saw people dancing with smiles on their faces, it all made sense. It was a very special moment, and later, when the set ended, it was incredible to have people coming up to talk to me, excited about the performance. It was beautiful preparing a set like this and seeing how the crowd responded to the vibe while the sun rose in that wonderful landscape."

nunsen·live - F-on at La Vallée Electrique

In the past few months, we’ve found ourselves returning to a remarkable corner of the Spanish midlands, where music thrives in a unique and unpredictable way. Perpendicular Festival has become the place where artists embrace spontaneity, crafting moments that feel truly alive.

This time, we’re focusing on o.utlier, an Irishman based in London whose debut album Alaya on Appian Sounds left an unforgettable mark last year. A co-founder of Titrate Records and a resident DJ for Astral Industries, o.utlier has mastered the art of balancing a diverse range of sounds, from drone to intricate polyrhythmic techno. If you’re familiar with his work, you already have a sense of the musical journey he can take you on.

It was a bright Saturday afternoon when he took the stage, easing the crowd into the day with laid-back broken beats and serene atmospheres. There was an unspoken magic as the music slowly drew everyone in, almost imperceptibly. Beneath a canopy of shade, the crowd swayed, their movements guided by his subtle changes in tempo and tone. Before long, the energy began to build, smooth, natural, and unforced, until the atmosphere shifted into something more adventurous.
Suddenly, the set took a turn, diving into murkier territory. Darker tones emerged, with dub influences and intricate rhythms that seemed to challenge both body and mind. Over the course of nearly two and a half hours, o.utlier created a magnetic experience that felt both cerebral and visceral—a true journey through the unexpected.

This performance was a special one; it was a shared moment at a gathering of kindred spirits. Do you really need another reason to hit play? We think not.

Delayed with... o.utlier [Delayed x Perpendicular]

@rambadu
Rambadu’s inspiration lies in his fascination with the energetic and healing properties of sound. Years of introspection and meticulous research have shaped his ability to channel the unseen forces of our inner and outer worlds into textured, immersive and deeply hypnotic compositions. His music uses elements such as singing bowls, acoustic instruments, hardware based synthesis, which are also enriched by modulated field recordings. Rambadu’s psychedelic take on deep techno highlights his dedication to exploring the symbiosis of art, nature, and the human spirit. His recent collaborative release, ‘Sai Matika’, produced alongside the renowned Claudio PRC, exemplifies this ethos, the record inspired by nature’s sacred cycles—‘Sai’, the ebb and flow of the earth and moon, and ‘Matika’, the rhythmical sounds of air rising up from the deep. Through his eponymous label, Rambadu continues to encapsulate these values, many of the releases his own and all featuring handmade sleeves adorned by mesmerising stencil artworks.

Interestingly, early influences in Rambadu’s career include a long stint down under, where he interned at the iconic Chameleon Recordings. Under the mentorship of label boss Steve Ward, Rambadu honed his production skills and gained invaluable insights into the music industry. This experience shaped his artistic identity, inspiring him to embrace the endless possibilities in electronic music.

Dutch DJ, producer, label owner and Hypnus affiliate Rambadu joined me for episode 301 of Passing Notes to share an exciting live recording of his recent closing set at DtRm in Nisiazabu, Japan

Sundays are for... Paduan

"The landscape of a frozen lake. A sheet of ice slowly shifting as it cracks unpredictably at sunrise. Ice floes mirror the accumulated snow on the fir trees. I circle the lake at a relaxed pace, my pauses blending into the soft, powdery drifts. It's the paceful beginnings of a beautiful day, and the music in the background only hightens the experience."

Mission District #01 @ Espacio perpendicular

One tribe, one rhythm, one heart
The 90s and early 2000s in Madrid were defined by a sound that sat somewhere between house and techno, dub and acid. Clubs like WEEKEND with Roberto Rodríguez, or Midday and The Room, led by Ángel García with guests like Garth or Swag, paved the way. The influence of the West Coast sound from the U.S. and European house with dub and tech-house reminiscences captivated us from the DJ booths of these legendary clubs in the Spanish capital.

The first rotary mixers started appearing, rhythms slowed down, and transitions became longer, giving DJs a new kind of artistic presence that hadn’t been seen before. This was pure artistry, and yes, the drugs were good, too. Fridays and Sundays, the tribe would gather to soak up the freshest sounds—the avant-garde.

Mission District is just a neighborhood in San Francisco, yet it shares a deep connection with Madrid. The same spirit was in the air, at the same time, with the same gurus shaping the scene.

This is not a "remember" session. This is not a tribute. We could never do it better than it was done back then. We simply want to dust off those records, blend them with equally special sounds being produced today, and let them breathe again.

As with most niche trends, some of these records might sound aged—or perhaps still incredibly modern.

For the next edition of Unrush, Berlin-based electronic musician and cellist Chloe Lula presents a mix that brings together her background in classical music and her work in electronic sound. Layering her own cello recordings over a selection of ambient pieces, she explores the tension between structure and spontaneity - between the past and the present.

Chloe studied cello at the San Francisco Conservatory before stepping away from the strict world of classical training. Immersing herself in community radio, experimental music, and techno, she went on to tour internationally as a DJ and producer. Her return to the cello was intuitive. A way to bridge memory and sound, much like her recent LP Oneiris.

As a resident at Tresor, with releases on Tresor Records and a recent EP on Blueprint, Chloe moves fluidly between club-driven intensity and introspective soundscapes. This mix reflects the latter: a space where layers unfold, textures blur, and time slows down…

094 - Unrushed by Chloe Lula

Jo Johnson’s explorations in sound have ranged from free-form punk with Huggy Bear in the 90s, to underground techno in the 00s, and, for the last decade, deeply expressive electronic minimalism that pays tribute to the many women who pioneered this genre. She has released with respected labels including Further Records and Mysteries of the Deep in the US and Frequency Domain and Castles in Space in the UK. Her latest project, Alterations, is a 'slow' album that she is recording and self-releasing track-by-track throughout 2025. 

For the fourth edition of Waves, Jo Johnson presents a mix of absolute celestial beauty, building delicately with deep and lush ambiance into a trip of interstellar melodies, this is the perfect way to start your week off right.
