012 - BENABOU

(interview below)
- This set was recorded at Tresor Berlin -
Benabou emerged from Europe’s vinyl labyrinths into the vibrant world of techno. Influenced by labels like Token, Polegroup, and Hypnus, her experimental sound blends ambient, ethereal synths with early inspirations from jazz, soul, and psychedelia - drawing listeners into a dark, hypnotic realm. 

INTERVIEW
Berlin is such a heavy influence for so many artists. How has living there shaped your evolution - musically or personally?

As a DJ, being in the « core » of the electronic music field has been quite enlightening.
I’ve been exposed to a lot of different vibes, which has made me more aware of what I’m really sensitive to, what I truly like, and what I don’t.
I moved here mainly to grow as a mastering and cutting engineer, and I’m grateful because things are going in the right direction. I’ve already had the opportunity to work with great labels, to cut great music, and my knowledge keeps getting refined.


You’re a mastering engineer—doing something that’s often an invisible part of making music. How has that deep, technical listening influenced the way you produce music or your approach to selecting tracks to play?

I’m not sure if my work as a mastering engineer directly influences the way I produce music, and I don’t feel comfortable mastering my own tracks. However, it does somehow play a role in how I pick tracks to play. I’m naturally more sensitive to details and I do pay close attention to how a track sounds ; in my opinion, a great track loses 50% of its potential if the mix or mastering isn’t optimized for it.
I also always consider how a track will translate on a big sound system - and on which one specifically. For example, if a track has a particularly wide or busy low end, I’ll think twice before playing it, depending on the venue and its acoustics. Not all sound systems transmit sound accurately and it’s something to take into consideration


Your mix for 6D. comes straight from the floor of Tresor Berlin. What kind of journey were you hoping to create for the audience there?

It was my very first closing, and naturally I felt a bit nervous before. In the end I could play whatever I felt like playing, went with the flow and the vibe, picked my fav tracks.
That night I learned that: it doesn’t matter who plays before, at any BPM speed, any intensity, any kind of vibe: the closing - just like opening - is a slot that offers a lot of freedom, which makes it so special and exciting. It was such a rewarding experience. Hope you’ll enjoy the set !

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy!

A well-known alum of acclaimed record labels such as Hayes, Klockworks, Fuse, Blueprint, Soma et al., Lisbon-based DJ and producer Temudo clocks in with a mix showcasing the breadth of his vista and smooth mixing skillset. Up with a choice selection of unbending warehouse percussion, laser-guided dubs and further esoteric mind-expanders, Temudo reels off a magnetic field of hi-velocity grooves, brutalist analogue bursts and cutting-edge sound design. Swinging the pendulum between straight out heavyweight, 909-fuelled barrage fire and heavily processed electronics on a mission, here’s a mix for those in search of both thrilling floor jack and superior groove know-how. Monster treat.
