An outstanding selection of unreleased tracks, which seamlessly stitch together as a result of the producer’s solid mixing work, is what Octo Åeterna kept in store for a celebratory mix for MNMT 344 on the day of his birthday.

Octo Åeterna is an electronic music producer who pursues deep and dark psychedelic sounds by involving mathematics and probability patterns. He is running the Technologia Organica label, focused on physical format releases, which is taking a strong influence from nature in search of a welcoming harmony, mostly found through abstract sonic environments. Each piece weaves a personalized concept while maintaining its sense of design balance. This year, his debut EP “Evolutiva” was released through Danza Nativa after the split vinyl EP on his label. Both these works follow a productive, long career as DJ and curator of “Noctambula” events in his hometown in South America, where, based on the energy in the night, his sets fluently ranged from meditative acts to highly dynamic selection.

Similarly, those aspects found their rightful place in the mix he delivered for the Monument podcast series. Starting with cavernous noise and calming ambience, percussion firmly steps in and mingles with the basslines to apply a reasonably organic character to the selection. One that is quite comparable to his label work so far. Adhering to relevantly high bpms, he ensures a controlled tension that gradually evolves into a perfectly balanced amalgam. Seamless yet quaintly crystal clear in its sequence, the mix is solely composed of unreleased tracks from like-minded artists and collaborators. Quite interesting, though, is that this is a product of live mixing. Something that adds an extra value to Octo Åeterna’s offering as one can easily recognize the impressively tight flow, reflecting his commitment and hard work in the genre. Driven by a hypnotically dynamic tempo, the ever-present wavy motion leaves shades of contemplation as it graciously capitalizes on the mix’s relieving presence, therefore acting as an antidote against the most stretched-out internal sentiments.
