A1. Z.I.P.P.O - We Need One Another

Gradient 001 – Taxiing

Every journey begins in stillness — a quiet breath before takeoff.
Taxiing captures that moment of anticipation, where ambient textures and subtle rhythms stretch across the silence.
The dancefloor sleeps — but the pulse has started.
It’s the space before movement, where we reflect, focus, and feel what’s about to unfold.

BUILT FROM REPETITION. TOLD THROUGH CHANGE.

Mary Yuzovskaya unveils the ‘The More You Know’ remix EP on her vinyl-only Monday Off imprint, releasing 6th June 2025. Featuring reworks from Spain’s ORBE, 90s US Techno legend Mike Parker, Judas Records’ JUDAΣ, and Duna founder CONCEPTUAL, the release builds on an EP that won the support of artists like Daniel Avery, re:ni, Luke Slater, GiGi FM, Kr!z, and Jako Jako.

First up, Token and Mote-Evolver artist and Orbe Records boss ORBE remixes ‘Ittiologia’, maintaining the original’s hypnotism by amplifying its eerie soundscapes for a loopy, deep space trip. JUDAΣ, shrouded in mystery yet known for his self-released EPs on his eponymous label and releases on ARTS, then revisits ‘Micologia’, completely reworking its tripped-out sequences into short bursts of droning synth work.

Tresor, Semantica, and Prologue’s Mike Parker also provides a version of ‘Micologia’, with the US Techno lynchpin slowing down its rhythm while its weighted synthlines bubble up between its kicks and rides. Closing out this remix package, Italy’s CONCEPTUAL reworks ‘Ittiologia’, building tension via the original’s dark and shadowy atmospheres but switching up its low-end for an electric, late-night feel.

Mary Yuzovskaya is a storyteller. Through delicate, masterful curation and a deep knowledge of experimental, trippy Techno, she weaves together sonic journeys - with ‘The More You Know - Remixes’ making for another excellent addition to her Monday Off label.

015 - KATIA

(interview below)
Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Katia has quickly made a name for herself within Madrid’s music scene. Her sets are defined by a refined narrative flow, marked by precision, subtlety, and a clear minimalist aesthetic.


INTERVIEW
You are originally from Bogota, Colombia. To what extent has this influenced you and your musical career?

Colombians are very passionate and hardworking people. We don't give up easily. I think this characteristic has helped me a lot to not give up and stay focused even when everything seems so distant and complicated.


You've been living in Madrid for a few years now. How would you describe the scene in Madrid, what do you like best, but what are perhaps also challenges there?

I would describe the Madrid scene as passionate and deeply multidisciplinary. It's inspiring to see how different artistic expressions converge through music, and how collectives manage to integrate them in an authentic way.
What I value most is the sense of community: growing alongside my friends and colleagues, sharing processes, and seeing how each person evolves both artistically and professionally. The most original and stimulating projects often emerge precisely from this local scene, driven by closeness and collaboration. 
As an emerging artist, one of the main difficulties I face is the lack of visibility and the unfavorable conditions we often face. In an environment where not having an agent or support figure can mean you aren't taken seriously, it's also common that, due to the need to gain space and exposure, we accept proposals that don't always adequately value our work.


Is there a DJ or a particular set that has had a significant and lasting impact on you?

I'm deeply grateful for the incredible musical experiences I've had this past year; they've taught me in unimaginable ways.
If I had to name a DJ, it would be Fumiya Tanaka or Danny Daze. Their sets were so impactful that they helped solidify the new musical path I've been exploring.
It's incredible how one DJ set can change everything, and for me, they certainly did.
