☉ Palpebræ Mix 25: Lisa Mizuno

☉ Lisa Mizuno:

LISA MIZUNO is a DJ and artist with a profound history of soul-searching. She perceives music and dance not merely as entertainment, but as spiritual forces that connect communities and transcend the individual — a form of collective prayer. This philosophy lies at the core of her artistic expression, creating immersive experiences that speak directly to the deepest layers of human consciousness and emotion. 


As the organizer of the Resonance event series, she skillfully integrates the essential elements of traditional Japanese culture — ma (space), wa (harmony), and inori (prayer) — into contemporary experiences. Her vision extends beyond music itself, influencing spatial design and physical expression, resulting in holistic and modern rituals.

In her DJ performances, LISA MIZUNO’s sound is a multifaceted and experimental journey. Her sets unfold as dynamic, fluid soundscapes that guide listeners through a spectrum of emotions and states of being. Through this innovative and deeply personal approach, she has established a distinctive and vital presence within the electronic music landscape — offering not just performances, but truly transformative experiences.

☉ Palpebræ Mix 22: Mind Archives

☉ About Mind Archives:

Diego García, artistically known as Mind Archives, is a DJ and producer from Galicia, Spain. His path into electronic music began in the early 00s, shaped by his family environment — especially his father, with whom he shared countless car rides accompanied by cassette tapes filled with house, electro and progressive music. That exposure would later become a vocation.

In 2007 he took up the art of DJing on vinyl — an experience that laid the foundation for his technical approach and lasting preference for the analogue format. His first performances in small local clubs soon led to a residency at The Garage, a long-running venue in his hometown of Verín.

Between 2020 and 2024 Mind Archives curated Aroma Cósmico Festival, contributing to the cultural landscape of northwestern Iberia. During those years he was also resident DJ at Gare Porto, one of the country's most influential electronic music venues.

Back in Galicia, he now runs Terra Meiga — a small-scale festival focused on experimental and forward-thinking sounds — and his own record label, Santa Compaña. The label debuted with the Morriña EP, self-produced by Mind Archives.

Mind Archives' artistic vision is defined by a balance between melodic nostalgia and sonic experimentation. His DJ sets and productions move between emotional expression and technical exploration, placing him within the independent electronic music scene of Southern Europe.

☉ Palpebræ Mix 21: Blu Aloé [Live]

☉ About Blu Aloé:

New Zealand-born Blu Aloé grew up in Cologne, Germany, where she became involved in the local techno scene in proximity to the Cologne-based label and cultural research platform Brutalism. Bodily and immediate, her voice is often treated as significant matter — granulated, eroded into space until it ceases human characteristics and becomes stark texture. Working with modular synthesis and live performance electronics, the practice of the Berlin-based artist moves between confrontational noise and something so fragile and delicate it threatens to dissolve into nothingness. Both extremes embody vessels; both being forces coming from opposite directions; both cathartic purifiers of emotions. The concept of duality plays a pivotal role in Blu Aloés work — moving through experimental sound design, dark drones, rigid mechanical techno rhythms and eventually being left with nothing but bareness and delicate lingering. When language does surface, it arrives in a fragmented poetic way, coming from the interior of self.

Her debut on Regis’ Downwards Records, Herde (2026), quickly sold out on Boomkat. Boomkat placed her at the crossroads of Maria Zerfall’s cult 80s DIY works, Anne Gillis and the rugged charges of Tuning Circuits — describing a steely grasp of modular synthesis that finds a bind between hermetic concentration and resonant decay, a spectral voice operating at the crossroads of industrial experimentation, drone and noise techno. Stark greyscale contrasts and doom techno, they wrote. With a darkly sublime kiss-off in vaulted sepulchral space.

☉ About the mix:

“I have always been drawn to both sonic extremes equally — uncomfortable harshness and fragile intimacy. Both seem cathartic to me. Both necessary vessels to rinse through. This live recording moves through confrontational noise, dark modular drone, vocal practice, rigid mechanical techno rhythms and delicate lingering. An anticlimactic transition of states before notes dissolve into vast space.ˮ

☉ Palpebræ Mix 20: Igor Dyachenko

Check out the full interview: palpebrae.com/in-conversation-with-igor-dyachenko

☉ About Igor Dyachenko:

Igor Dyachenko is an experimental sound artist, composer, and sound designer currently based in Asia, previously in Berlin. Operating at the intersection of sound art, experimental electronic music and spatial research, he has developed a distinct approach grounded in what he defines as “melted reality”—a fluid understanding of sound as a hybrid entity, continuously shifting between physical presence and abstract form.

His practice is shaped by a research-driven methodology that privileges attentive listening and material exploration. Drawing from modular synthesis, field recordings and residual sonic artifacts, he constructs dense yet fragile compositions where micro-textures, interference and so-called “defective” sounds become central compositional elements rather than discarded byproducts.

While often situated within the ambient spectrum, Dyachenko’s output moves closer to the territories of microsound, dub-informed abstraction and conceptual sound art, where perception, space and temporality are continuously reconfigured. Releases such as Tracked (Entangled Visions), Post Ambient Lux (Appendix.files) and Remnants Of Noise (Offret music) outline a practice that balances sonic precision with intuitive process, while projects like Atemporal and Spatial extend his research into data sonification and environmental translation.

Alongside his individual work, Dyachenko runs Epic Room, a studio operating across fashion, film and sound design. Focused on original sound production, the studio develops soundtracks and sonic identities for a range of contexts — from fashion brands and visual productions to exhibitions and immersive environments.

☉ About the mix:

“Dedicated to the ghostly atmosphere of the late-night urban environment. Drowning in layers, mirroring observations, ambient drift.”

☉ Palpebræ Mix 19: Marco Maldarella

☉ About Marco Maldarella:

Marco Maldarella navigates the intersection of psychedelic dance music and tribal fusion, crafting dense architectures where IDM-inflected glitch effects meet organic textures and drone-laden atmospheres. His output is anchored by the Clinamen EP and his debut full-length Silent Logic on Omen Wapta.

Beyond his solo practice, Marco Maldarella explores the dialogue between atmospheric structures and dancefloor dynamics through MARMO, a collaborative project with Christian Duka. A key figure within the Sinestesie collective, he further maintains a consistent presence in the electronic landscape through his monthly residency at Radio Raheem Milano.

☉ About the mix:

“Returning from a month of gigs across Asian cities, with the density and velocity of those environments still seeping through, I found myself building this mix around my own new productions, reaching outward toward contemporary artists and others from the early 2000s. It was in those pauses, between one city and the next, that I rediscovered a world of deep space ambient and electro-acoustic sound from artists like Alio Die and Oophoi, whose work pulled me toward a different kind of listening—one that asks for stillness and rewards attention over stimulation.

Each track carries within its micro-details, its textures, and its smallest sonic gestures a kind of rhythmic sigil; it is a presence not always audible in the pattern itself but deeply felt in the grain, the pressure, and the way a sound decays. As they blend, their convergence shifts the perception of time itself, making the music feel faster or slower than it actually is—an illusion the body accepts before the mind begins to question it. The mix features both released and unreleased stuff from Ilay Runi, Periskop, Comm, Raar, Theathre, DYL, and Oophoi, alongside collaborations with Abo Abo and MARMO.ˮ

☉ Palpebræ Mix 18: DYL

☉ About DYL:

DYL, a music producer hailing from Romania, crafts versatile compositions through his explorations of techno, drum and bass, and ambient music. Known for his atmospheric soundscapes, his work seamlessly fuses deep, driving rhythms with intricate layers and melodies. DYL’s signature sound combines rhythmic complexity with soothing ambient elements, capturing an emotional depth that resonates across dance floors and reflective spaces alike. His focus has consistently centered around the 170 BPM range, where he has helped shape and evolve the genre most notably through his collaborative album ECOU with DB1, released on Re:st. His music can be heard on labels such as Re:st, Detach Recordings, UVB-76, and many more, showcasing his presence in the electronic music scene.

☉ About the mix:

“For this mix, I approached it as a gradual unfolding rather than a peak-driven set. I wanted to create a subtle, hypnotic narrative that evolves almost imperceptibly, drawing the listener into a deeper state over time. The atmosphere I aimed for was intimate and immersive — something that feels suspended between tension and calm. I focused on layering textures and allowing tracks to breathe, letting transitions become part of the storytelling rather than just functional blends.”

ph: Martijn Kuyvenhoven

☉ About Space Drum Meditation:

The duo creates an entrancing sound where tribal rhythms merge with electric pulses. Over the past five years, Space Drum Meditation has developed a unique sound signature by blending traditional and esoteric instruments with cutting-edge electronic elements.

Their genre-defying approach seamlessly blends tribal, electronic, ambient, and abstract techno, crafting deeply immersive experiences. Whether performing live or spinning DJ sets, Space Drum Meditation excels at guiding listeners through captivating and mind-bending journeys. Based in Germany, the duo also runs a record label, pushing genre-defying sounds while mainly releasing their own music.

☉ About the mix:

"You can expect a tribal, psychedelic blend of House, Goa and Psy influences, mainly with an old-school feel. It’s hard to tell where one genre ends and the other begins, it all flows together. This mix stands out from our usual ones, being a bit less dark and serious as it focuses strongly on this specific aesthetic we’ve been wanting to explore for a while. Most of the tracks are over 20 years old, yet they still feel completely timeless to us. Even though the BPM is slower than on our new EP, the overall vibe still connects. Hope you enjoy the mix!

☉ Palpebræ Mix 16: Reeko

Check out the full interview: palpebrae.com/in-conversation-with-juan-rico-reeko-architectural

☉ About Reeko:

Juan Rico, also known as Reeko, considers his birth as a DJ around 1997 while the start of his professional career can be traced back to 2002 with his first production for the Swedish label Emergence. From his early moments in the music scene, Reeko has been acclaimed for his visionary approach and his ability to create soundscapes that transcend imagination. His best works from that era were showcased on his own label Mental Disorder, founded since its inception in 2003.

 

In 2010, Reeko further expands his sonic spectrum and creates a new project/label called Architectural, where he showcases his more sentimental, sweet, luminous, and at times introspective and dreamy side, arousing great curiosity from the deep-focused scene, as his sound was strongly influenced by jazz but with psychedelic brushstrokes inspired by the surrealist art of Dalí, Rene Magritte, or Giorgio de Chirico, among others. All of this led him to release works under this alias on major labels, apart from his own, such as R&S, Music Man, Semantica, Ellum, Non Series, or Wolfskuil. His set, laden with intrigue, emotion, hypnotism, and a very distinctive sound design, has led him to perform at special clubs and festivals like Fabric London, Robert Johnson in Frankfurt, or Printworks, and has taken him on tours in Japan, India, or South America.

 

As a part of the Spanish collective PoleGroup from 2010 through 2020, Reeko released several important works on that label. In the early part of the decade, he also releases his EP on the Soma label and two EPs on the avant-garde Avian, positioning  Reeko within the realm of intelligent, conceptual techno. More recently Reeko opens himself up to new styles and experiment with new rhythmic structures. Proof of this experimentation is his collaboration with the English producer and techno living legend Surgeon, with whom he signed "Scoundrel" on Mental Disorder, a co-produced EP that clearly delves into different styles in each track. His recent EP on the drum n' bass label Samurai, as well as his new EP on the R&S label under the alias Architectural, make it clear that Juan Rico has found new ways to experiment with his sound.
