E.M.C. atmospheres #127 - Solarythm

Born in Nantes, Solarythm has been shaping immersive electronic journeys for over ten years. Rooted in psytrance and live performance, his sound has evolved towards deep, mental, progressive and techno landscapes, always guided by a strong trance-driven, hypnotic energy. Rejecting rigid genre boundaries, he develops a hybrid approach focused on the dancefloor and long-form storytelling. Here some words from Jeremie about the mix: "I’ve always had a strong connection with dub, it was one of my first experiences with sound system culture and it marked me deeply. After putting it aside for years, I recently reconnected with it through dub techno. This mix explores the space between ambient and early dub techno, moving through deep, old school textures and sounds.

Enjoy!

E.M.C. atmospheres #123 - Bahadırhan Koçer

We begin 2026 with a very special guest, Bahadırhan Koçer. Sound artist, PhD scholar in Music Sciences, and video creator, Bahadırhan works at the intersection of dub techno, experimental electronic music, and sound philosophy. His practice investigates temporality, spatiality, imperfection and audiopolitics. Alongside music production, he creates audiovisual essays and conceptual tools that questions the ontology of sound. His work operates between academic inquiry and intuitive sound design. This mix reflects the osmotic intersections between experimental ambient and dub techno, overcoming the boundaries between definitions and genres and creating an immersive sonic experience.

E.M.C. atmospheres #122 – Dubtommy

We are delighted to conclude this 2025 with a very special mix by Dubtommy. As part of @statelymusic and member of the crew of the Amsterdam-based Killa Cutz Recordstore, Dubtommy is an avid and passionate music collector with a refined taste for records. Exploring trip-hop, downtempo, ambient, and everything in between, Dubtommy gifted us with an involving music trip that keeps you hooked from the beginning to the end.

Here some words from him: ”When I came across EMC Series I was already in the making of a mix that I think really suited their style in regards to the other guest mixes of their series. Relaxing, warm ambient sounds with also some downtempo. These genres I have always been a sucker for. I hope this approach comes across the headphones or speakers, however you’re listening to it!”
