Delayed x Mostra: Sciama

What this episode covers

In anticipation of the 2023 edition of the MOSTRA Festival, with whom we joined forces to present you music from some of the most exciting and talented producers and DJs worldwide, in the next couple of weeks, we'll feature several truly outstanding music tales. After an incredible mix from Aa Sudd, which we featured last week, the bar stays high with another mind-bending mix from Auxiliary affiliate Michael Watters aka Sciama. For Sciama, music is all about creating a world in which the listener can explore the many facets of human emotion, a journey inward that uncovers both the light and dark within us. And this mix is no different. The deep, trippy techno beats create a hypnotic atmosphere that transports the listener to the underground world, so deep that no sunlight ever penetrates. The exceptional programming and seamless transitions between tracks demonstrate Sciama's mastery of DJing. Every element of the mix has been flawlessly executed, making it a true pleasure to listen to. With this mix, Sciama has given us a taste of what's to come at the Mostra Festival, and it's sure to be an unforgettable experience. Sciama is on opening duties on the closing day of the festival, Sunday, April 9, from 12pm - 2pm THE THREE AXES OF MOSTRA Local The pandemic highlighted the importance of local communities, local institutions and local support for one another. We at Mostra continue the commitment to our Local, not only by programming local artists on the line-up, but also through how we choose our suppliers and other collaborations in the city. And we go further: an exhibitors' Fira for the duration of the festival, generating our own media content during the year through MostRadio, the Mostra’m series of debates, seminars and conferences in parallel with the festival, and our ExtraMostra series of events in venues across Barcelona place Mostra’s roots firmly in their local environment. Inclusive Mostra is a festival that reflects on the realities that surround us in electronic music. We are committed to breaking the gender gap in a scene that is traditionally very masculinised. We try to reflect this in our programming, in our team, and in the values we promote: we want a friendly and safe space where there is no room for any kind of violence, and where respect for diversity is fundamental. We have developed our own protocol with a gender perspective, and we seek to raise awareness in a transversal way throughout the project. Sustainable Mostra is a festival that seeks to be a social and environmental benchmark through its actions. We follow the most up-to-date sustainable protocols and develop good practice in relation to both city and planet. We have created the role of Sustainability Director who leads and implements an action plan based on sustainable experiences; we limit the programming of artists from overseas to reduce our carbon footprint; and we are committed to contracting and collaborating with social integration and social and solidarity organisations from Barcelona. ABOUT MOSTRA We are a group of people with diverse backgrounds, but all closely linked to the electronic music and cultural scene in Barcelona and beyond, with involvement in projects such as Paral-lel Festival, Alpenglühen, Sónar+D, Fab Lab Barcelona, Comissió Nocturna, dublab https://soundcloud.com/sciamamusic https://www.instagram.com/sciamamusic/ www.mostra.barcelona www.instagram.com/mostrabcn/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_itsdelayed_ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed
