Next up in our mix-series is the Tokyo-based DJ and promoter, DJ MARIA., a rising star in the psychedelic realms of techno and trance. With her deep, rolling signature sound, Maria is spellbinding dancefloors all the way from the depths of Japanese forest parties, to dark dancefloors in the likes of Berghain and Bassiani. Maria is a true contributor to the local scene, co-organizing two outdoor festivals, Moment and Transcendance.

In this mix she amplifies a swirling deep trip with intense, evocative sounds and captivating 4/4 rhythms. The mix invites to a jungle-like musical fantasy, focusing on psychedelic techno, drawing a line between acid and trance, with a sensitive energy control.

Monument Festival 2024 : Wata Igarashi

Paula Koski at Solstice 2024

fleika grew up during the heyday of Prague’s rave culture, coming of age as a DJ in booths built for a single night only. The Czech techno renaissance formed him, then the newly-born club culture embraced him as one of its main protagonists. The Ankali resident digs anything that kicks, melts or makes one’s mind trip, but mainly thrives on diving into the vast depths of hypnotic and psychedelic techno – as deep as it gets.

fleika shared a few words about the mix:
"I always enjoy having enough time to express myself, whether at live events or on podcasts. An hour is barely enough to dive into my favorite places. In this mix, I kept it groovy while exploring deeper territories, reflecting my outlook on life in general."

Tune in now for a 2 hour trip into the subsonic abyss, flawlessly mixed by maestro selector fleika.
