Carl og

Carl OG’s journey into electronic music began around 2010, influenced by Hip Hop, Trip Hop, House, and Tekno rave music. In 2016, he started making beats after being introduced to beat-making with Ableton Live by close friends in Rome. Four years and countless .wav files later, he moved to Berlin to pursue a bachelor’s degree in electronic music production at Catalyst Institute. During this time, inspired by the diverse electronic music scene both inside and outside the university, he began experimenting with a fusion of Ambient and Bass Music, adopting a « dubby » approach. As he deepened his studies, he also immersed himself in the culture and history of electronic music, connecting with past traditions of music-making. This process gave him a sense of belonging to a constantly evolving network of knowledge—one that continues to expand and reshape itself through innovation and reinterpretation. He recently started DJ-ing as Carlo Villaboss, spinning mainly Ambient and Dub Music. He currently lives in Berlin, constantly experimenting on new sounds.

mechanoreceptor

Wiremu Hohaia is the artist behind Mechanoreceptor, an entity drifting between, across, and within unexplored realms within The Aviary, a fictional hyper- dimensional world. A research-intensive project, the Aviary’s myriad of intricate physical properties are slowly unveiling themselves. Commonplace phenomena have been discovered to be dynamic and fluid. Hardened surfaces melt into streams of chrome, waterfall mists convert to breathing curtains of diamond dust, and snowfall is instead composed of oriental ceramic shavings. Mechanoreceptor has appeared on Crazed Behaviour, Posse Up, Avoidant, and Bass Agenda.
