DSS 106 comes form across the Canal.
Softi is quickly becoming one of London's most sought-after DJs. With her dynamic sets, seamlessly drifting across different BPM ranges and without being bound to a genre, she manages to keep a unique and psychedelic sound.
Her vision is further extended through her Cozi label, where she delivers ep's, dj-mixes and a residency at the Brussels based Kiosk Radio.

DSS 106 | Softi

For Sciama, music is all about creating a world in which the listener can explore the many facets of human emotion—a journey inward that uncovers both the light and dark within us. Melding elements of UK bass music, experimental sound design, and the grey area between techno and drum & bass, Sciama’s work offers a dynamic and immersive experience. Released across respected labels like Auxiliary, OODA, and A Walking Contradiction, each project showcases intricate layers of textured rhythms, deep atmospheres, and cerebral beats that invite introspection and self-discovery.

Welcome to episode number 102 of Observatory by Sungate on Openlab Radio.
Featuring on favourites Midnight Shift, Delsin, and Illian Tape, Katatonic Silentio starts us off with her signature elegant introspection. Building up and shattering in waves, here’s an hour of a selection that is equal parts breezy and heartwarming.
Sungate co-founder Moy Santana completes hour two with a mesmerising blend of deep, chugging house frequencies, submerged in soapy texture and machine-funk mutations.

Observatory 102 - Sungate [with Katatonic Silentio & Moy Santana]

For our next offering, we return to the listening room, where we welcome Minimal Collective co-founder Brent Jacko.

"Digging through my archive became a meditative process during a long stretch of recovery, often while reflecting on the Mediterranean Sea or moving through the cold landscapes of the Dolomites. With a reductionist approach, I slowly shaped this one-hour mix: a blend of field recordings, emerging artists, and longtime inspirations, featuring Richard Chartier, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Jon Hassell, Cio D’Or, Loek Frey, ASC, Aleksi Perälä, Shackleton, and more.”

We’re so honoured to welcome Refracted to The Observatory, whose sonic explorations have inspired us deeply over the years <3

Sunset on FBi Radio : Nelly b2b Tangela

Allecto with Sybil - 04 June 2025

In a world hooked on instant likes and endless scrolls, where festival lineups are often built for clicks more than for ears, there’s still a place that pushes all that noise into the background. It sits somewhere off the grid, far from signal bars and push notifications, a pocket of the world where music still feels sacred.

You drive for hours into the Spanish mainland, trading highways for dusty roads and the smell of pine. And then you arrive at this gathering that’s not quite a festival. “Celebration” fits better. A celebration of music, connection, good energy and the rare joy of forgetting who’s “headlining” and just letting the sound carry you wherever it wants.

It’s friends, and friends of friends. People whose names you might see on record sleeves or festival flyers, but here they’re just part of the crowd. No green rooms, no special wristbands. No one’s counting bar sales or stressing over ticket numbers. It’s purely about the music, the real reason most of us fell in love with this scene in the first place.

From Friday afternoon to a very late Sunday, the music rolls non-stop. Daytime means dancing upright under blue skies. By night, things stretch into horizontal territory in a magical cabaña, where ambient and experimental sets ripple through the dark. Every DJ seems to arrive knowing precisely what belongs in their timeslot, crafting an arc so seamless you start questioning whether sleep is even worth it. Monday comes for you looking like your parachute didn’t open, but the grin on your face says otherwise. And the moment you leave, you’re already asking yourself how you’re supposed to wait a whole year to do it again.

This hidden corner of paradise is called Perpendicular Festival, or Perpen, for short, a brainchild of the crew behind Espacio Perpendicular in Madrid. 

This year was Delayed’s first time joining the adventure, and we came back determined to share pieces of what made it unforgettable. Over the next months, we’ll be rolling out sets that capture different moods and times of the weekend, hoping to transmit even a fraction of the magic in those woods.

We’re starting with a burst of energy: Madrid’s best-kept secret, Rachael, who took over on Sunday night. By then, the dancefloor was running on adrenaline alone, and as darkness settled in, she shifted things into high gear. After Sciama’s mind-bending trip, Rachael stepped up and commanded the space, unleashing a set where syncopated beats, UK breaks, and halftime, all collided in perfect chaos. The pine trees caught every echo. The crowd surged with new life. It was one of those sets that reminds you why underground music scenes will always survive and why you stay awake just a few hours longer even when your legs are begging for mercy.

We’re proud to open this year's Delayed x Perpendicular series with her set. Tune in, and get a taste of why it instantly felt like home.

Waves


In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.
