alys(alys)alys.
"Brazil-born, Berlin-based alys(alys)alys explores the (un)common ground between experimental, club, and soundcloud music; crafting a dynamic approach to her own productions and eclectic DJ sets. For this mix she selected music that translates the feeling that the color red can sometimes provoke on her, focusing on more distorted, aggressive and bassy sounds."

David Rauer.
"There were always a pottery wheel and a record player lying around in the studio. Suddenly, two worlds came together: objects and music. I started using these vinyl pucks as a DJ to offer a visual experience as well. The object could take ownership of the record, and the music could shape the object. Forms for spinning. I spontaneously took the first 40 vinyl pucks in a car to Frankfurt, to a DJ who is also a tailor, Paul-David Rollmann. Since then, others have been spinning the pucks too. The ceramic object has found a new niche. Music shapes matter, and matter shapes music."

PAVEL MILYAKOV.
"Having achieved certain recognition with his dancefloor-oriented project Buttechno, the Berlin-based artist is currently focused on sonic experiments and artistic collaborations under his birth name. Pavel uses his work as a means to acknowledge the true historic and cultural context, delving into sociopsychological issues that haunt the society, and addressing memory — both collective and individual — and its potential to change our visions of the future. Working in a variety of musical genres he created collaborative works with Bendik Giske, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Yana Pavlova, Martyna Basta, Torus, Richie Culver, Perila."

X^x CHAPTER III - Pavel Milyakov / (Buttechno)

artist: @ok_leave
location: montreal, canada

about this mix: In the winter I take long walks at night. On those walks I like to listen to music, breathe in the cold air, draw smiley faces in the snow that’s collecting on cars, and let my mind wander. I think this mix is what I’d like to hear on one of those walks.

about this artist: I really love idm and always have. I think it’s because that genre’s values best match what I prioritise as a dj/human: emotion, introspection, and beauty. I like to think I try to build all my sets/mixes in the likeness of a good idm track - a puzzle that comes together piece by piece and builds you a world you never knew you needed to see. 

track list: i love to share tracks, but i prefer for people to write me if they want track ids. les connect thru da music !

@stagno-records pres. Terre Rare 08 w/ @upsammy
Live recorded at @inbeatwin, Milano
Video: youtube.com/live/fYKs7rd2W64?si=8nBLSMnCkFbh5Qrc


"Opening the new season of Terre Rare, upsammy conjures shifting, iridescent terrains here synthetic flora moves with prismatic motion.
A delicate balance of warmth and alien detachment, her echoing expanse oscillates between chiseled clarity and fluid disorder.
Alongside her, Pietro Agostoni reinterprets the concept of the Stagno drawing session, transforming it into a perceptual flow where gestures layer, deform, and recombine through a visual language in constant mutation. 

Frequencies fracture, memories disassemble. Unheard cadences and fluid impressions fuse, bending the 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑒 into new forms. Vibrations rise, ancestral, synthetic, primal. Reverberations warp, surfaces melt, light and sound seep into each other, distorting perception. 
Season 2 deepens the convergence, expanding the threshold of experience. A ritual of contamination."

FOR THE FOURTH COMPOSITION WE WARMLY INVITE.

MCKENZIE.
"For this episode, McKenzie delivers a classic hypnotic techno set that reflects her unique musical journey. Originally from the US and now based in Tbilisi, she has become a recognizable force in the underground scene, known for her deep, immersive selections and marathon closing sets. With appearances at Budeclub, Club Rote Sonne, Fold.LDN, Kibe Batumi, and RSO.Berlin, her sound is fluid and dynamic—seamlessly weaving together driving rhythms, subtle textures, and atmospheric grooves. With a deep appreciation for tension and release, she crafts a journey that’s both meditative and powerful, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the flow."

GIORGI NAKASHIDZE.
For the focused driving techno Mix from Mckenzie, Giorgi brought an Observation captured  in the remote Javakheti mountains of Georgia. He writes “this is not a natural glacier but a fleeting, almost surreal sculpture, formed by the eruption of water from a broken pipe. The ice accumulates chaotically yet elegantly, resembling a frozen waterfall or a cluster of stalactites—alien-like creatures suspended in time. An accidental masterpiece ? It stirs the imagination, transporting us to landscapes beyond our own. Each year, as the flow of water changes, a new version of this formation takes shape, never repeating itself, always transforming.  This photograph captures a brief, unrepeatable moment— a testament to nature’s ability to create, destroy, and reinvent.”

 X^x.
" This episode is especially important to us, as it expresses our deep fascination with Georgia and its subcultural movements.We believe in the responsibility we all share to support the people and cultural movements we enjoy and consume. This leads us to our ambition—not only to celebrate the beautiful art of Mckenzie and Giorgi in this episode but also to spotlight a brave fight against oppression, undemocratic processes, and the pursuit of freedom."

LDS.
Our local hero LDS is playing a selection of his favourite ambient music together with his son Adam.
 
Kristin Jakubek.
"Currents is a 20-minute looping video piece accompanying a live DJ set by LDS, created for the collectives X hoch X and Augmented Research. The piece plunges viewers into a continuous visual journey through a dreamlike, subaquatic world—where the viewer drifts seamlessly from one aquarium to another.
Integrating AI-driven video and image generation techniques, the artist stitches together long sequences of filmed underwater footage with algorithmically generated transitions. The result is a meditative sequence of submerged environments—green-tinged algae tanks, murky aquatic chamber vistas, and fish-filled expanses—blurring the boundary between the real and the artificial.
The work eschews traditional narrative structures and hard cuts in favour of continuous, fluid transitions. These flowing narrative structure echo the transient nature of water itself and point to new possibilities for storytelling—ambient, immersive and in constant transformation. Through this fluid choreography of visuals, Currents proposes an alternative mode of guiding audience attention: not through directive edits, but through suggestion, motion, and atmosphere. 
This piece reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of how AI can be used not just as a generative tool, but as a method for rethinking narrative continuity, perceptual immersion, and the construction of visual rhythm."

No distance without presence. No melancholy without warmth. On Me, With You, @jonnnah – aka Lyon-based producer Pierre Paumier – unspools seven textured sketches of memory, perception, and desire. Drawing from the bubbling undercurrents of trip-hop revival, he crafts grooves that don’t demand attention but earn it slowly – through rhythmic asymmetry, warm bass blooms, and momentary flashes of clarity.
