AMBIENT SESSION

“As the Japanese composer Nas-Kaz once said, sound is like wind — it becomes boring when humans try to control it too much. I feel the same when performing live ambient music. We have reached a time where music cannot be created by thought alone; it has to be allowed to unfold, to breathe on its own terms.”

ambient live set at Halle am Berghain - December 2024

Bleak, beautiful, and utterly locked in. EPs 1 through 5 trace Evigt Mörker’s early path: from cavernous ritual techno to shimmering, slow-burn transcendence. Each record stands on its own—but mixed together, they feel like one long breath held in the dark. Cold pressure. Deep time. Pure atmosphere.

Evigt Mörker – EPs 1–5 [Live Mixed Sequence]

Psychedelic adventures from all over the musical universe.

Nog Zone w/ Anthony Child: 5th August '25

Closing sets come with built-in pressure. But at this year’s Perpendicular Festival, Saturday wrapped up not with spectacle, but with style. Valencia-based DJ and producer Facundo, a standout discovery from the city’s ever-surprising scene, took control of the final stretch with a set that was patient, fluid, and full of character. It moved with intent, keeping the energy alive without ever pushing too hard. The kind of set that made you forget the time, anchored in rhythm and shaped by subtle shifts. A groove that spoke softly but hit deep.

Facundo’s approach to the closing slot was a slow reveal. He opened with broken, syncopated patterns before sliding seamlessly into a tight four-to-the-floor pulse. The tension built with restraint - dark, shadowy techno moments came and went, but the release was never forced. This was a set that traded hype for nuance, showmanship for control. Polyrhythmic elegance in the woods.

Delayed x Perpendicular: Facundo

Fresh off the release of his outstanding album ‘Berlin’ we welcome Felix K - a true purveyor of sophisticated, deep electronic music. His work explores the fringes of techno, jungle, dub, and ambient, building immersive sound worlds that defy easy categorization. Known for his meticulous approach to production and his ability to weave complex narratives through sound, Felix K has carved out a unique space for himself in the global underground scene.

For this marathon journey, Felix K delivers a masterclass in patience and precision, guiding listeners through a three-hour odyssey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling. The mix is a testament to his expansive musical knowledge and his ability to connect seemingly disparate genres into a cohesive, flowing narrative.

In his own words: "The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. Beginning with slower Dub Techno, it slips into the early, minimalist 85/170 Drum-and-Bass era, showcasing plenty of those formative highlights before closing with authentic Amen Breaks combining with a sound design that actually anticipates the vibe of some of today’s darker techno productions."

Some DJs treat genre boundaries like walls; others see them as doors. Craig Gonzalez belongs firmly to the latter camp. A staple of Detroit’s underground and a resident DJ at Paxahau’s Third Thursday monthly, he has long been drawn to what happens when techno’s linear propulsion collides with the restless syncopation of drum & bass. That liminal space, the “grey area” between the two, has become one of the most fertile playgrounds in electronic music over the past decade, and Gonzalez shows why. In this mix, recorded as the opening set on the Movement main stage, he handles tempo as a fluid variable, shifting gears without friction and letting polyrhythms function as the connective tissue. It’s the kind of approach that resists the obvious peak and instead builds a topology of groove, a groove that bends but doesn’t break, carrying dancers across time signatures almost without them noticing. 

And while opening a stage that would later host Deepchord, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Octave One, and Jeff Mills could be seen as a daunting warm-up role, Gonzalez treats it less as preparation and more as architecture. Across ninety minutes, he layers patterns with patience, calibrating intensity so that tension rises and releases without tipping into spectacle. The set moves like a conversation that shifts from whispers to declarations, never overstated but always persuasive. It’s a reminder that flow is not just sequencing but narrative logic, and that true mastery lies not in domination of a dancefloor but in shaping the conditions for everything that comes after.

"At Perpendicular, the forest itself seemed to listen back. A singular voice in dub shaped grooves and textures born for that moment alone — drawn from his own hands, his own particle world. Every layer carried the crowd deeper, a dialogue between artist and place. Nothing borrowed, nothing repeated, just a set written into the woods, as fleeting and unshakable as the day itself."

over the last couple of years i’ve been making really really really quiet music to listen to when i do yoga or sleep or meditate or panic. i ended up with 4 hours of music and have decided to give it away.

you can download it for free here: http://moby.com/la1 or stream it for free on soundcloud. or you can get it on spotify, apple music & itunes & deezer & tidal.

it’s really quiet: no drums, no vocals, just very slow calm pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga and etc.

and feel free to share it or give it away or whatever, it’s not protected or anything, or at least it shouldn’t be.

thanks,

moby

As the year comes to a close we launch our winter edition with a name tantamount to icy electro and frigid body mechanics. Umwelt is a French producer birthed from the heyday of rave in the 90’s, supplying the world with a consistently excellent stream of dramatic analog malfunctions and genre-bending beats since the project’s inception. Widely acclaimed in many different arenas yet still remaining thoroughly underground, he has recently released an album on Killekill’s new sublabel Boidae as well as recent EP’s on numerous other renowned imprints. We decided to catch up with him to see where the more experimental side of his music collection could take us for this very special year-end edition of UNRUSH.

Check his interview here:

Read our interview with Ario here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-ario

Followers of ambient music will no doubt know Ario as the man behind @astralindustries, the revered label that fuses reissued work with new releases from some of the most exciting artists in the genre. Despite the challenges thrown up by 2020, this year alone has seen AI releases from @multicastdynamics, The Chi Factory and Waveform Transmission, among others, and 2021 already promises to be even more prolific for both the label and its boss. 

Yet London-based Ario is just as much a DJ in his own right, with a sound that evades neat categorisation: drawn to the “deeply ritualistic and primal” side of drone, yet partial to the occasional dance floor set, he is reluctant to get too concrete when discussing his own music. His Patterns of Perception 77 is designed to challenge the listener – built on the belief that, contrary to what many may think, an ambient set is not necessarily designed to soothe and subdue.

Patterns of Perception 77 - Ario

U N R U S H is an experiment in sound, a crystalline vision of eternal pause. Through our record label, podcasts, interviews, and event series we focus on presenting a diverse array of alluring ambient music. With each guest contribution we search for a serene space within the mind that is free from the encumbering stresses of daily life. Our events will act as a platform for distinguished artists and take place in stunning cultural surroundings both in the city and in nature, taking a step away from the pounding hedonism of the club to showcase the other side of electronic music.
