Set at 105 BPM, this techno-infused journey might have started with some tired beats, but Craig's masterful touch turned it into something truly special. With a rich history of DJ'ing and a style influenced by legends like Mike Huckaby and Donato Dozzy, Craig’s mix is an experience you won't want to miss.

"…Such a strong desire to share this space, time, and event… brief, yet filled with enthusiasm and infinite nuances… endless emotions and a commitment to sonic and emotional enjoyment. Thank you, thank you, thank you…"

"A new edition of Temple at the decks, this time alongside Yorg. We’ve collaborated privately a few times before, sharing music and referring to those meetings as a true “cruce de caminos.” Despite the geographical distance, whenever we’ve had the chance to get together, we’ve spent countless hours listening and testing our latest sonic acquisitions.

For this particular set, we prepared during the week leading up to the event in Madrid. We had so much material at hand that we ended up adjusting part of the tracklist on the fly. The result is this recording of the opening set—a session that captures the freshness of the moment and the special connection that arises when two musical paths converge in the same place.

We hope you enjoy this sonic experience as much as we do."

"What emerges from this dialogue will always be something otherworldly. Alien and futuristic music straight from their spaceship. Crazy frequencies, broken and deep rhythms at varying speeds. A fascinating mosaic that must be heard and savored."

vrika (@vrika) is the moniker of Spanish producer Fernando Blanco. His music blends hypnotic rhythms, ambient soundscapes, and organic textures, all infused with a tribal essence. Starting with techno as a foundation, his sound freely explores a range of subgenres. Vrika has released music on Doppt Zykler and other respected underground labels.

Pillen (@pillen) is a Spanish DJ based in Madrid, actively mixing since 2012. A dedicated vinyl collector, he is passionate about playing long sets exclusively in this format. His mixing style spans a diverse sonic palette, including techno, breakbeat, acid house, electronica, and drum & bass. Known for his love of hypnotic sounds, Pillen focuses on maintaining high energy and intensity on the dancefloor. In 2021, he co-founded Sables Mouvants, a project born from the desire to bring extended sets to Madrid's club scene. At these events, invited artists have the freedom to decide how long they wish to play, with a minimum of 4-5 hours. “In this project, we trust the DJ's ability to command the dancefloor,” Pillen explains.

Both are co-founders, along with others,  of Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), a project launched in 2023 with the aim of creating a meeting point dedicated to the pure enjoyment of underground music. The initiative plans to share recordings captured at the venue while also hosting live events in the future, all designed to enhance our collective listening experience.

Honored to welcome Morocco-based Karim to our series, dear friend and founder of the beloved Tikita label, who I finally met at Monument Festival in 2022 after watching him open the weekend in beautiful fashion. The path Karim charts through this set mirrors that of his label’s truly inspirational and decade-spanning journey, one of prophetic timelessness and stalwart vision revealing a curatorial prowess like no other. Enter a valley of orphic rhythm and embrace this tonic for the body and mind, a rare and long-awaited mix from the artist to cast light upon a new year. Thank you Karim!

"A journey shaped by depth and your own subjectivity in choosing the story. Do you want it faster or right in the middle? Downtempo, or did you wake up ready to pick up the pace? However you choose to drift, the hypnotic spiral remains the guiding force."

Owl (@owlfromdeepspace) is a belgian electronic music producer who started producing under the alias Glÿph with his friend Clearlight and also under the  alias OZOH. In 2013, Owl wanted to expand his musical vision and push the boundaries o his creativity. This led him to delve into new sonic territories, capturing the attention of labels such as Silent Season, Lowless, Muzan, Huinali, DNO, and re:st. His distinctive sound began to resonate within the electronic music community, setting the stage for his continued evolution as an artist. Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution : from dnb, deep techno to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey.

Liminality

The sun had been gone for 181 days.

That was the nature of the world they had chosen. Gliese-7d, a rogue planet captured in an elliptical orbit around a dying red star, was a place of extremes. Half the year bathed in an anemic, ember-like glow; half the year swallowed by a night so absolute that it numbed the senses. The colonists called it The Verge—the razor-thin band that lay between those two realms, a twilight belt that drifted across the surface with the slow inevitability of a glacier.

The first hints of light were now visible at the horizon, a soft cerulean glow teasing the return of the star. The darkness had its own kind of peace, stretching across the sky like a cathedral vault. In the absence of the sun, the cosmos itself seemed closer, the band of the Milky Way a frozen river of light. There had been something strangely pure about it, as if existence had been reduced to its simplest terms—heat, breath, motion. And now, with the return of the light, that purity would be lost.

There was always a moment—this moment—when the threshold was crossed between the long night and the long day, a sliver of time where the world was neither one thing nor the other. The darkness receded, the light approached. For 181 days, there had been longing for warmth. Now, there was reluctance to surrender the cold.

The vapor of breath drifted into the first true light of the new cycle. Then, the darkness was behind.
