Christmas has come early! As a December special, we are pleased to present you the first of two mixes this month from two incredibly talented artists. 

First up, HADŌ delivers a driving yet hypnotic and groovy listening experience featuring tracks from some of our favourite artists. It’s exactly what we love to hear and we hope you feel the same! The diverse track selection, smooth transitions and overall energy really makes this a special mix worth listening to. 

HADŌ is an Italian born, London based DJ/producer whose musical journey began around the age of ten with Latin American guitar and saw him experiment with a number of different genres and instruments before being drawn towards electronic music, as he got closer to the underground clubbing scene in London. His sets are an exploration of the primal and instinctive human connection with rhythm through a blend of intricate percussive soundscapes and nostalgic yet forward-thinking harmonies. 

As a relatively new face in the techno game, HADŌ’s productions have recently started to gain traction from big names such as Slam, Arnaud Le Texier, and Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann amongst others. He’s destined for great things so this mix is the perfect starting point for following his journey! As ever, the link is in our bio so check it out and let us know what you think 🙏

Neonoe is all about constant exploration. This pursuit is reflected in her sound, filled with broken rhythms, raw percussion, and atmospheric synths.

For this occasion, she brings a set presented as a nocturnal journey: starting with a hypnotic, almost introspective calm, and slowly building into dark, futuristic layers that awaken energy on the dance floor.

A journey meant to be listened to closely, allowing yourself to be carried by the pulse.

Neonoe | Symbole Podcast #021

Release date (vinyl & digital): 10th of October 2025

TRACKLIST:
A1. Second Skin
A2. The Ring
B1. Neon
B2. Blood

INFO:
With his first EP on Token, Phara conjures up four tracks detailing dancefloor impact with robust personality. In ‘Second Skin’, the Belgian artist is eager for resolution, keeping tension high with the bold analog sound he’s known for. Coming eye to eye with the label’s sound, Phara pays homage to Token while fiercely defending years of artistic direction - layering the label’s astral ambiance with his unstoppable movement.

‘Second Skin’ sets Phara’s intentions clear. The titletrack rolls forward like heavy machinery with what seems like shifting vocals breathing life into the stereo image. This first cut is a gold standard of peaktime production, creating a sense of purpose at the core of urgency. Claps and rides boom and whip around the track that lumbers on with chord stabs to add soul to flare. ‘The Ring’, however, takes the listener into another direction. Heavily centered on the drum sequence with a sharp slap-back delay, Phara plays with resonance, sparking psychosis amongst movement. Playful in the short term, ‘The Ring’ proves to be an ultra-hypnotic track reserved for a set’s high intensity stretches on an already surrendered dancefloor. Taking this energy and pulling it in, ‘Neon’ comes to establish a bit more intimacy at first. Here, the producer diffuses his elements into themselves and, in turn, creates a thick ambiance that drives the record forward in space and dissonance. ‘Neon’ is inquisitive and almost spiritual in its effect, playing with the line between a unified dancefloor and an introspective journey. The conclusion to the EP is ‘Blood’, a return to dryer production - at least in the beginning. Ambient, almost psychedelic synth work sucks in the listener over unwavering energy to create a closing track worthy of its name. Rolling through to the end, ‘Blood’ delivers the final blow to an insatiable record on Token by Phara.
