IHA invites AHIL Groove Session 010

Today we close another series filled with authentic, skilled, and talented artists. As we are still buzzin from last episodes' technical highlights, it is now time to welcome a new Rotterdam face shaped by the values of our beloved dance floor.

AHIL, Arthur van de Hil, started his musical journey in 2014 where he visited his first techno event in the mighty Maassilo. He soon started to realize that this genre contained much more feeling and cohesion compared to other forms of electronic music and so he began exploring his way in it. After several years of discovering, meeting like-minded people, learning, respecting, and understanding the essence of the dance floor, AHIL decided that he wanted to contribute in an artistic way to the scene he holds close to his heart.

AHIL started buying his first set up around 2.5 years ago and in the meantime, he released multiple podcasts, for which he draws his inspiration from the close people around him, his experiences visiting clubs, niche festivals, and some of his favorite artists. With this mix, AHIL strives to challenge the listener with solid and hypnotic soundscapes combined with his characteristic way of intense mixing where he leaves plenty of space for the listener to activate their imagination.

A mix like this engages the urge for the dance floor even more, so we strongly advise you to keep a close eye on our socials next week. 

Something is coming.

Embodiment 036 - AHIL

AHIL is a DJ from Rotterdam, he usually plays techno on the more deep and hypnotic part of the spectrum. His style is heavily influenced by labels as NON series, Warm Up Recordings, Edit select and so on. 

Besides playing techno he also likes to play other genres, including house, dub and sometimes even some tribal. Playing different styles to what he normally does, makes him feel like stretching his musical boundaries and takes him out of his comfort zone. 

About this mix: ‘Once a year I like to create a mix that contains some dub, some tribal, some house.. but it will always be influenced by my techno background’

PVC Podcast 073 Ahil

With the autumn season looming we have another prolific artist with us this week. AHIL, Arthur van de Hil, is an artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He uses mostly deep and hypnotic patterns, powered by rolling and heavy kicks. His love for the genre was established after visiting an event in 2014 in his hometown.

Regarding this set, he was mainly inspired by his second visit to the @monument-podcast festival last summer. The sounds present there were mostly organic, hypnotic and rhythmic and of great value for the aforementioned artist. With the usage of 3 decks, AHIL states he is able to amplify the intensity with his layering. This mix is more than suitable for any dancefloor, a place where AHIL likes to spend time and gain inspiration from.

We are happy to feature this rising artist from our homeland and be sure to enjoy his selection.

Forsvarlig Podcast Series 118 - AHIL

To kick-off our podcast series AHIL, founder and resident of Hypnosis, will guide you through some mesmerizing and brain-melting techno. This 2 hour mix of stripped down deep, hypnotic and rhythmical techno will tickle all of your senses in a way you won’t easily forget.

Some words by AHIL about this mix:
“In this mix I’ve tried to highlight several aspects of what the more club-orientated side of the concept Hypnosis represents. 

Starting the mix of with some organic and tribal rhythms to get your mind into a meditative state, before diving deep into a warm bath of low frequencies. Close your eyes and let the captivating music guide you through your imagination. During the second hour pulsating rhythms and tense hypnotic elements are assembled in a way that the warm bath will transform into a raging sea of trippy tides.

SKIN Podcast Series #014 AHIL

With a shared love for music, we warmly welcome AHIL, our dear friend whose musical views enrich our final podcast of 2023.

Rotterdam-based DJ AHIL is the visionary behind Hypnosis. As both the founder and resident, he aims the platform towards delivering a deep, hypnotic, and rhythmical experience. 

This mix was recorded during a period when he visited Monument Festival and Parallel Festival. Both places served as significant inspirations for AHIL, both personally and creatively. AHIL reflects on the experience, stating, 'Meeting, connecting, and vibing with other people through the power of music is truly something special. All the positive energy experienced during these events went straight into this mix. With this mix I’ve tried to really go for style I would love to hear and play on festivals during summer. It still contains lots of deep, organic soundscapes and trippy patterns that I usually love, but this time with a more sunny and free approach.'"
