Get familiar with @caldera.em.es / @looplf with these 4 picks and just over a week to go until Microcosmic 01 @renae.mcr !
1. Amphibian Dance - Aquatic themes have emerged in Caldera’s recent productions and this particular track off the stellar 5D Worlds EP on @nummer_music is full of lushness to dive into.
2. Terra - All three Loop LF EPs on @wellstreet_records are stellar but this one best encapsulates what we love about the alter ego - deep, airy and evolving.
3. Patterns of Perception 0128 - Not only a great producer , Caldera’s recent @patterns_of_perception mix demonstrates his storytelling capabilities behind the decks.
4. Oceanic Volt - Stepping up the pace, we have some flirtations with trance on his contribution to visionary label @aurora_rec ‘s stunning compilation, recently launched in Manchester with @chitta.mcr
We can’t wait to see what he has in store for us on May 22nd, tickets available now 🌀
The recording of my @openground.club set for @kiosk.radio 's club tour back in December is now up on Soundcloud via @untitled909 .
Loved shaping this opening set: rolling, minimal & a bit squelchy in some places
Also did a small interview about the mix, thanks @basicchanel.mp3 for having me 🫡
Head over to Untitled 909's substack for the interview and mix. Tracklist on the last slideee
Delighted to announce the rebirth of my party series Microcosmic with one of my all time favourite producers @caldera.em.es aka @looplf coming up from London with @em__ora and myself on support.
Microcosmic promotes organic and hypnotic electronics at the intersection of minimal, deep techno and bass, and these two embody this vision immaculately ~
@renae.mcr ‘s new intimate upstairs space TOPP and its gorgeous sound system provides the perfect backdrop for the occasion.
Big ups to @april__bm for the poster.
Tickets on RA, link in bio hope to see you there 🌌

We have a new mix on our Soundcloud done for us by Kamoun!
Kamoun has developed a signature sound where percussive intensity meets atmospheric depth, blending polyrhythmic drums with modern electronic textures. His fascination for traditional tribal percussion, paired with influences from minimalist field recordings and British bass culture, generates a hypnotic energy that resonates with the raw power of contemporary electronic music.
Ranging from deep tribal grooves to high-energy dance tracks, Kamoun’s mixes fuse rhythmic complexity with avant-garde electronics sounds, forming a unique sonic journey. As co-founder of Sketchy Lines Records, Kamoun plays a pivotal role in pushing Brussels’ underground electronic scene, constantly exploring new hybrid sounds.
His DJ sets & Productions are an intricate tapestry of rhythmic complexity and layered textures, drawing listeners into otherworldly hypnotic states. Kamoun’s distinct sound, which blends traditional elements with cutting-edge innovations, leaves a lasting impression that is both captivating and unforgettable.
Kamoun released on excellent labels like Dance Data and Black Teeth Records with a dub-infused sound, where crisp groovy percussions, warm bulging sub-bass and vibrant exotic echoes interlace. Check out his latest release on Sketchy Lines and explore more in the links below:

Big shouts out to @olganagram for putting it together as well as @undriia@miloshadzic for all making me feel so welcome all the time in Serbia 🇷🇸, and to all the people I met.
This is one of my favourite sets I’ve done where I absolutely love every track, and had a space to do exactly what I wanted so wanted to share
It’s our pleasure to welcome @djtamen to this next iteration of ASPECT. Tamen is a Naarm/Melbourne based Irish artist whose dynamic sets and productions have taken him to headline shows from Singapore to Shenzhen, Berlin to London as well as major European festivals like Outlook and Sun and Bass Festival, and a recent shelling of Keep Hush in Eora/Sydney.
Tamen has released music alongside Pugilist on top-tier labels like Rupture, Dext, 3024, Repertoire and Trule, and with POD on Straight Up Breakbeat and Echo Chamber. With no signs of slowing down - his Onyx EP with Pugilist on the seminal Samurai Music has just dropped, plus his Ruff Kutz EP with Pugilist is about to be released, alongside more forthcoming vinyl releases on Modern Hypnosis, Straight Up Breakbeat , and Subtle Audio to name but a few incoming soon!
With continued heavyweight support from the likes of Jungle heavyweights Mantra, Om Unit and Tim Reaper, Tamen’s productions and DJ sets bring undeniable energy to every dancefloor.
Tamen has brought something a little different for this episode to his usual output, providing us with a journey from 100-130bpm - but don’t be mistaken, as usual - you will need to watch your bass bins…

This mix is a 3-hour journey @mandar1n__ created as a kind of emotional and symbolic voyage — something that moves through darkness into light, into fire, and finally into a slow and tender resolution. From darkness and descent, through light and healing, into fire and presence, and finally into slow, melancholic closure.
It’s divided into four acts, each rooted in a different archetype, mood, and sound world. The genres shift along the way — from dark ambient and drone, through deep dubstep, experimental 170 DnB and (dub) techno, with touches of industrial and spoken word — but the emotional progression and sudden change of the genre and pace is deliberate and carefully woven.
The mix is meant to be a whole journey — emotional, symbolic, and immersive — and I’d love for it to be felt that way rather than deconstructed by breaking apart the tracklist.
