We’re excited to kick off Astrotech Sounds, a new podcast series dedicated to hypnotic techno, grooves, and raw energy.

To open the series, we present a powerful set by SOFIAH — Guatemalan DJ and producer blending deep rhythms with dark, driving energy. Her sets lock dancers into a steady, trance-like momentum — no big drops, just pure flow.

She’s played in iconic venues like KitKat (Berlin) and Pratersauna (Vienna), and shared her sound across Germany, Austria, Croatia, Greece, Poland, England, Japan, India, Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras. As founder of 150 + 10 Collective and part of Astrotech Sounds, SOFIAH’s mission is to connect through sound, emotion, and movement — always building energy, always moving forward.

Volume up — let’s go.

We’re back with the second episode of Astrotech Sounds — a podcast series exploring the realms of hypnotic techno, grooves, and raw energy.

This time, we present a journey crafted by Icaro — weaving hypnotic frequencies and layered textures into a deep sonic flow. His set invites the listener into a state of trance, where time dissolves and the mind is free to wander. No peaks, no distractions — just a continuous exploration of sound.

Icaro has shaped his sound in Guatemala’s underground scene, performing in venues such as El Sótano, The Secret Garden, and The Box Lounge Groove. Beyond the clubs, he has brought techno into unique spaces — curating underground gatherings around Lake Atitlán, Sololá. As founder of Astrotech Sounds, his vision is to craft deep, hypnotic journeys that connect mind and body through frequencies and textures.

Volume up - let's go!

For the fourth edition of our podcast series, we’re proud to welcome our first international guest — BUBASUB.

BUBASUB blends the raw energy of underground clubs with the expansive spirit of outdoor festivals. His sets are immersive journeys — deep, organic, and ever-evolving. Through a mix of tasteful selections and original productions, his intention is to take listeners on a ride and deliver a sound that connects with dance floors around the world.

Originally from Canada, he found his sound in the lush landscapes of Australia, shaped by late nights at bush parties, countless sunrise dance floors, and deep connections with international DJs who shared their knowledge, music, and spirit. These experiences honed his ability to read a crowd, go deep, and craft sonic journeys that feel both grounded and cosmic.

Dive in and experience the sound of BUBASUB — a unique fusion of depth, groove, and emotion.

Enjoy the ride.
