Pianeti Sintetici ('synthetic planets' in Italian) is a new conceptual project by Davide Perrone (Primal Code) that draws inspiration from the factories of Magrathea, a planet in Douglas Adams' classic space opera The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where artificial planets are manufactured on commission. “This concept has always fascinated me, and I chose the name to frame a hypothetical future of synthetic worlds, told with sound,' Davide says. 'I like to imagine the howls of creatures inhabiting solar systems outside our own. Rarefied atmospheres, alien sequences, and unfamiliar tonal scales. So, I see Pianeti Sintetici as an open-ended design research project where I can explore these inspirations.” Pianeti Sintetici already has three stand out releases on the legendary Hypnus records and has played a string of mind bending shows, including this mix, which is a live set from the 2023 edition of Positive Education.

The Catalan festival will take place in its third edition from 28 to 31 March in 2024. About her time at Mostra Jin Synth said: "Mostra was an absolutely beautiful music festival. It was my first time visiting Barcelona. Meeting incredible artists and warmy friends was the best part of the experience. These four days were a revelry and the stunning beauty of Castell de Montjuïc was a sight to behold. The event left a nice impression on everyone’s heart. I believe the memories created there will last!"

For MNMT 385 Polish legend @michalwolski presents us with a very special hybrid mix. Known for his deep, richly detailed music this voyage features four track mixing and live looping techniques to deliver something truly mind-blowing. Michal is an acclaimed DJ, live act & producer, with releases on legendary labels such Semantica, Eerie Rec, Nonplus, Silent Season, Kynant and many more as well as his own Minicromusic Rec. On his approach to the hybrid mix Michal said: “The entire recording was made in Ableton Live. In addition to the tracks that make up the elements of the podcast, you can also hear a whole range of sound events that are brought to life through looping, as well as inducing feedback-loops. Narrating in this way allows me not only to enjoy the music itself - tracks that have caught my attention, whose energy I would like to share - but also to explore regions that are only possible to visit >in this very moment<, during the mix. They can't be planned, they can't be engineered - feedbacks tend to bring transformations having at their source, what is to be given. It's a deeply delicate technique - it can be smooth or extremely aggressive, it's all about being one with the sound and reacting to events at the exact moment and to the exact degree. A mix carried out with four tracks mixed live brings a whole range of possibilities - not only in terms of DJ techniques, but also strictly in terms of production, primarily with effects work at the forefront. This kind of playing sparks my imagination limitlessly.” Follow: SC: https://soundcloud.com/michalwolski FB: https://www.facebook.com/michalwolskimusic IG: https://www.instagram.com/michalwolski/ BC:https://minicromusic.bandcamp.com/
