British-Nigerian-born, Berlin-based Richard Akingbehin (@richard-akingbehin) is behind many crucial projects in electronic music, and most of them revolve around his exploration of deep and dubby sounds. Not only is he a co-founder of the excellent Refuge Worldwide radio station, but he also runs the experimental label Kynant Record and has some key residencies when not headlining other cult clubs around the world. His label recently released the first new album from dub techno don Tikiman in almost 20 years and this summer the pair will be playing together again as part of a mini tour. 

Ahead of joining us at Dekmantel Selectors later this year, Richard recorded this week's mix for us in the Refuge Worldwide studio with the aim of showcasing what he is playing in the clubs at the moment. It takes in his signature blend of dub techno styles with music from the likes of Parallel 9, Tikiman, Dialog and Delano Smith. It's spacious and unhurried but slowly ramps up the pressure to get you on your toes and vibing to his ever-warm, supple and minimal rhythms.

Dekmantel Podcast 457 - Richard Akingbehin

Kia is an acclaimed Australian DJ & founder of the Animalia & Cirrus labels. A highly skilled selector and open-eared music digger, who is ever searching tirelessly for lost obscurities and hidden gems. On the dancefloor her sound spans bass heavy rhythms, IDM and the deeper shades of techno.

About the mix Kia said: “This mix is a big amalgamation of sets and moods I've been playing recently on my travels in Mexico, Colombia, the US & Canada, and some shades and new styles influenced by my time in Latin America & Detroit specifically. Like a travel diary in a mix :) ”

At Monument Festival 2022 Kia gifted us with the perfect afternoon set, laying down three hours of tightly woven hypnotic grooves. This year she will be closing out Friday night playing b2b with Polygonia. Not to be missed.

MNMT 422 : Kia

Berlin based vinyl only dj @salty_dj is young but emerging through the woodwork rapidly. He's quickly becoming well-known for his vinyl only sets which span through the early eras of techno, house &  trance.. an overall progressive sound with a distant hint of nostalgia.

He's a resident of Southern German, Shockwerk collective and has had recent performances at Weltspiele, Tresor, Mala Junta, and Kulør’s label night at Berghain.

A deeply passionate dance music collector with his own distinctive sound, he is surely and firmly establishing himself as one to watch in the electronic dance scene.

Thanks for the mix Alex <3

Sleep Paralysis EP – Demoniks

The Sleep Paralysis EP is officially out and hitting harder than ever. Three high energy tracks Sleep Paralysis, Mind and Body, and Back 2 U. Each built to shake the room, melt the dance floor, and drag you straight into the dark, electrified world I’ve been crafting.

This project is pure adrenaline, heavy drops, hypnotic builds, and that signature Demoniks edge. I pushed myself to the limit on these, and you’ll feel it from the first hit to the last.

If you’ve been rocking with me, streaming, sharing, or showing love, thank you. Every bit of support means the world. And if you want to help push this EP even further, grab your copy on Beatport and let’s keep climbing.

Turn it all the way up and let the Sleep Paralysis EP take over.

EP Tracks:
1. Sleep Paralysis – Dark, tense, and heavy. Pure Demoniks energy.
2. Mind and Body – Gritty, hypnotic, and driving. Keeps you locked in the groove.
3. Back 2 U – Melodic yet powerful. The perfect closing vibe, bringing it all full circle.
