Part of the closing set of Waha Festival 2023.

Rhadoo @ Beech Stage Waha Festival 2023

While we were spending a lovely time in Copenhagen, we happened to come across Jesper Mygind behind the booth at our favorite spot in town. We caught the scent of a great selection of club music rooted in house and techno, with detours into related genres.

We really liked him, and it was a pleasant surprise for us. That’s why, even after years, we still remember his sets and the energy they transmitted to us.

Apart from being a great DJ and selector, we felt his personality truly matched the Save Our Sound ideology: someone who simply loves music and enjoys it to the fullest.

We are very happy to share one hour of his music in our podcast series.

Jesper Mygind

Having hosted us back in June when we rolled into Hanoi with Brasi, we needed to know more about this meticulous selector. Established himself as resident DJ at the cities Savage club, Zwi is the driving force at one of regions finest beat emporiums and has warmed up for a wide spectrum of artists that have recently included Mr. Ho, Loa Szala, nd_baumecker, Phase Fatale, Vithz, and Lamalice. As well as his continued work with Savage, Zwi also runs his own project METRØ which celebrated turning the ripe old age of six back in May. 

This diverse musical palette has led the Hanoi based Zwi to become a go to artist in the region and has massively informed his all encompassing sound. This is perfectly exhibited on his InSession for us where he moves from moody broken after hour beats through to deeper shades of house, and then through to more upfront cuts but always keeping that groove and funk strong throughout. Zwi proves that even in the far reaches of the underground there are fantastic artists and undiscovered musical gems to be found.

One I’ve been excited to receive and get out since I started this series. Plunkz takes the reigns this time and has put together a spacey masterclass 🚀 ✨

Ever since coming into contact with Augustin a couple years back we’ve spoken about and shared music ever since and the one thing I’ve realised is this guy has a knowledge for music like no other 🧠 

With the weather starting to turn and those autumn nights kicking in this one is gonna slide into rotation perfectly 🍂

Rosty Mix #03 Damiano

AF Reflect’s sound journey 011 with Konrad Black

For this mix, Konrad Black traces a thread of introspective melancholy through his selections. Drawing from influences that span drone, glitch, vocoding, and the ethereal, he moves fluidly across multiple electronic forms with a quiet emotional depth. The mix evokes the spirit of his early DJ years — crafting sets on Maxell XLII cassettes — where mood and texture took precedence over genre boundaries.

Konrad Black is a Canadian composer, music producer, and DJ based in Berlin. He began his career as a hip hop dj in the mid-90s, while in subsequent years he expanded his sound to include multiple forms of electronic music, from drum and bass and techno to experimental and ambient composition.

His musical production roots reach back to the late 1990s, with a wide range of releases across influential labels. Early work includes drum and bass on Formation Records, co-producing the band Circlesquare for Trevor Jackson’s Output Recordings, and remixing UNKLE for Mo’ Wax (as Headgear). His first explorations in deep techno and electro appeared on Swayzak’s 240 Volts, leading to the co-founding of Wagon Repair with Mathew Jonson in 2003. The release of his breakout track Medusa Smile in 2005 marked a turning point, prompting his move from Vancouver to Berlin and the beginning of extensive international touring, with regular appearances at renowned venues such as DEMF, WMC, Berghain, Output NYC, Stereo, Lux Frágil, and Womb. 

In recent years, while maintaining a regular release schedule as a producer (Pleasure District, Exit Records, Meander) Konrad’s practice has expanded to include composition for electro-acoustic instruments, film, installation, video games, and sound design. Long-term collaborations with visual artist Jeremy Shaw have produced several major works, including Phase Shifting Index and The Quantification Trilogy (Quickeners, Liminals, I Can See Forever), exhibited at institutions such as Centre Pompidou, the Venice Biennale, and Hamburger Bahnhof. Other projects include serving as game audio director for Balenciaga’s Afterworld video game, as well as contributing sound to Natalia Escobar’s installation Las Traviesas, exhibited at Kasseler Kunstverein, and Efrén Mur’s volumetric audiovisual installation It From Bit at Madrid’s Matadero.

Konrad’s most recent release is the soundtrack for Phase Shifting Index on PAN Records

PREMIERE: Outterspace1, The Tonica - Audio 4

The tracks operate as studies in unresolved repetition: the groove never explodes — it tightens, trapping the listener in a loop.
Every element undergoes a selection process before being allowed to exist; nothing is ornamental.
The structure is skeletal: dry percussion, micro-variations, and negative space charged with tension.
This is sound built at the threshold between the organic and the mechanical, where precision holds more weight than excess. The driving force of the music isn’t progression, but suspension — the constant possibility of something about to happen that never does.
Slow Distillation.
