It’s an absolute honor to be asked to record an Essential Mix for the BBC Radio 1, the pinnacle of all dj-mixes. Showcasing everything I’ve played in 15 years of being a dj, from the early beginning, a sound that has shaped me as an artist, to what inspires me now and everything in between the house spectrum. 

I spend hours in finding the right tracks as there were too many for me which meant something for me at a specific time. If I see the track title, I always remember where I first heard or played it. It creates a memory and this for me is something music does to people, it brings memories and that’s what I tried to do with this mix, my musical journey with tracks that mean something to me.

REFLEX BLUE - SLPFNK LIVE CUTZ #03

The beloved German producer talks about finding inner peace, overstimulation and his new album on Pampa Records.

Mental health is a topic that comes up frequently in the music industry, but it's still not discussed enough among electronic music's top performers. In this RA Exchange, Stefan Kozalla—better known as DJ Koze—opens up about his battle with anxiety, self-doubt and rising expectations that come with being a long-standing, high-profile name. He talks about overstimulation, music as rest and the compromises artists need to make to have relevance and staying power.

Kozalla, a beloved and eccentric German artist who has developed a cult following over the course of his career, has productions on esteemed labels like XL, Kompakt, Cocoon, Warp, Ninja Tune and BPitch, which garner praise as soon as they're released. "Every time DJ Koze comes out of the woodwork to drop a 12-inch—or even just a remix—we usually end up hearing it everywhere for months on end," wrote former RA editor Andrew Ryce.

Kozalla talks to RA contributor (and former editor) Matt Unicomb about his production process and early influences—an uncanny combination of Basic Channel and Public Enemy—as well as his forthcoming album, Music Can Hear Us, coming out on Pampa Records on April 4th.

@tripmastaz bringing the heat with this new SLAPCAST088 

A few words from Tripmastaz: 
This mix is pure slappy, funky, groovy and gutter. 
Beatz be slappin and groovez be flowing. Probably what I'm known for the most. A lot of these tracks are with me for 15-20 years, some new unreleased edits of mine and some less known b sides and forgotten slappers. Let's go.

The vaunted techno producer discusses the connections between visual art and music, balancing a full-time career as a fine artist and how he creates his signature sound.

There's a connection between visual art and dance music that's seldom explored on our channels. Mike Parker is well known in the underground techno scene for minimal, hypnotic and beautifully executed sound design that sits somewhere at the edges of club music. But he also received his master's degree in fine art and teaches drawing and painting at Daemon University in Buffalo, New York. Fans of Parker will recognise his visual trademark: monochromatic prints that adorn the covers of the records he puts out on his label, Geophone.

In this RA Exchange, Parker sits down with Chloe Lula to talk about how he balances his art- and music-making practices and how they inform each other. He also opens up about the long process of sticking to his sound and finding an audience rather than catering to the demands and suggestions of labels and distributors. His 2001 breakout album, Dispatches—which he reissued last year—is a meditation on the act of living far away from any listeners or immediate influences, and he discusses the ongoing drawbacks and rewards of balancing the Eurocentric pursuit of DJing with day-to-day work that's so geographically removed. He also opens up about his longtime collaboration with Donato Dozzy, his love of mid-20th-century sci-fi movies and how free-form radio shaped his approach to music and art. Listen to the episode in full.

VBX #46 - Live Recording BRET by Matisa

We’re thrilled to share the next Planet Paradigm Podcast, delivered by Dresden. Recorded live at Planet Paradigm 2025, where they played the Forest Stage. The duo, consisting of Manfredas & Ivan Smagghe, treated us to their signature sound: a mix of new tracks, nostalgic minimal grooves, and psychedelic layers that pulled us all into another dimension. Now it’s time to dive back in. Enjoy the ride!

We’re happy to share #48 on our SoundCloud series, coming from Bruno Schmidt.

A longtime friend of VBX, his sets balance precision with unpredictability. In this mix, he dives deeper - stripped-back, finely detailed, and leaning into the experimental.
