Test Subject 2.1 Orsu delicately pieces together an atmosphere of simultaneous flourish and decay, encouraging animate and spectral figures to intertwine in a murmurous bind. Shadows impart themselves to flesh in a moment of blinding clarity before departing back to cavernous depths, dissolving mortal perception with new frightening understandings....

"In the ancient Greek mythology, the nekuia was a ritual by which the living were summoning the elders in order to receive their help, wisdom and strength. With a contemporary approach of this old magic, the narrative in this mix will guide the listener through a sharp and hypnotic journey into other perspectives, full of mysteries and strange curiosities."

Zorz 's Warm Up Dj Set for Creatures Of Light + Soft Crush @ Astron, Athens (08.02.2025)

It's an honor to welcome Amsterdam's Loek Frey to our series, whose meticulous attention to detail and eminent experimentalism command the mind's attention like no other. The OQAD label head and Omen Wapta collaborator invites us to peer delicately beyond the edge, unveiling a hyperintense, subsonic blur through which a primordial palette begins to emerge. I've been looking forward to sharing this episode for quite some time, and to revel in this blend of artistry and precision was truly worth the wait. Thanks Loek!

Sure Thing Mix 137: Loek Frey

This contribution is a very special one, as it marks a new chapter in The Observatory’s sound… 

We will always be a home for ambient and experimental sounds. But, moving forward, we will also be exploring our love for dance music, with a particular focus on the deep end.

To begin this new journey and warm things up, we are so happy to welcome back Timnah, who gifts us with a two-hour recording of her set at Omen Wapta, ADE’24. A mind-bending traversal through ambient, drone, and halftime experiments, exploring the liminal spaces between the listening room and the dance floor.
~~
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Through chaos, cathartic soundscapes, and monolithic grooves, we are excited to introduce Marco Maldarella — @marcomaldarella — for this new episode. Producer and selector based in Bologna, Marco co-founded @sinestesie_s event and mix series. His project is rooted in a multidimensional approach, known for his collaboration with Christian Duka as MARMO, and his solo album Clinamen, released on @omenwapta.

At the crossroads of deep psychedelic techno and tribal sounds, Marco Maldarella dives into the depths of modern electronic music with a fast-paced and intense sonic signature.

For this mix, Marco delivers a raw tribe fast trance experience, where psychedelic elements collide with a dark groove reminiscent of ancient times. Drones, noise, and otherworldly voices define his unique style. The result is an intimate, introspective, and mental journey, featuring many of unreleased tracks.

Marco shares his vision with us : « 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨—𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴; 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘮𝘢.

Tentacular 27 ~ Marco Maldarella

Pure, unhinged chaos wrapped in some minutes of sonic mayhem. “Cats on Crack” explodes with frenetic energy, capturing the absurd hyperactivity of caffeinated felines bouncing off walls at 3 AM. This track is an adrenaline shot straight to the heart.
The song careens through tempo changes and genre-bending moments, that feel like catching your breath before the next wave of madness hits. It’s organized chaos with a wink, celebrating the beautiful insanity of creative energy unleashed.
