The Spanish electronic scene we’ve come to know is not driven by spectacle. It’s built on continuity. People showing up for each other, projects evolving quietly, ideas passing hands without losing their edge. "Creatividad Artificial" sits firmly in that lineage. It brings together three figures who have helped define the scene's tone over time: F-on, Estrato Aurora, and ABSIS. Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona. Released on Alpenglühen, the four-track EP introduces Atàvic, the new collaborative project between Estrato Aurora and ABSIS. The project feels like a continuation of a conversation already in motion, with both artists allowing their signatures to overlap rather than collapse into a single voice. In Creatividad Artificial groove is treated less as a stylistic choice than a structural constant, tuned and recalibrated across electro, techno, and halftime forms, always nudged by dub logic.
Our premiere, “Anacreonic,” builds slowly, carried by a deep, rolling groove that stays grounded while its details shift around it. Dub chords hover, percussion subtly reshapes itself, and a hypnotic sequence carries the track forward without ever being a focal point. It’s measured and confident. This is not peak-time rhetoric or background drift. It sits comfortably in the middle ground where movement becomes intuitive. Anacreonic doesn’t try to impress on first contact, but grows stronger the longer it’s allowed to breathe.
"Creatividad Artificial" offers a window into the creative process of these masterminds. Atàvic will perform their live set for the first time at Mostra 2026. Like we needed more reasons to be at Mostra this year! "Creatividad Artificial" is coming out on January 30th as a vinyl-only release.

Digging does not always mean discovery in the sense of the unknown. Sometimes it is about noticing someone operating with clarity inside a language you already understand. I first heard Paul Thomas via a mix he recorded earlier this year for the Chimaera radio show. It was immediately clear that this was someone fluent in experimental and ambient forms, comfortable with negative space, pacing, and restraint. The hook was instant. Not long after, we crossed paths in Spain through shared nights on the dancefloor and on both sides of a DJ booth. His set at this year’s Perpendicular Festival inside La Cabaña was one of the standouts, marked by a calm command of atmosphere and momentum that allowed the room to settle into its own rhythm.
Under the Horizontal alias, Paul Thomas operates as a multidisciplinary artist with a deep interest in the crooked edges of electronic music. As a core member of the Ouroboros crew, he has become part of the more inward-facing currents of the scene. Horizontal represents a fresh pulse, bringing a lightness of touch to music that often leans too heavily on concept. His contribution to "Delayed with" closes our 2025 series. It unfolds with patience, but not passivity. Small shifts accumulate. The mood is tense yet restorative. Unpredictability plays a central role here, not as a gimmick, but as a contract of trust between listener and DJ. This is not background music. Details flicker at the edges, atmospheres thicken, and time stretches in subtle ways that reward full attention. After spending countless hours this year immersed in experimental and ambient listening across many contexts, it felt right to close out 2025 in the same way. Horizontal offers a final chapter that does not conclude so much as open a door, pointing toward other rooms, other journeys, still waiting.
