We welcome the co-founder of Pillow Princess (@pillow-princess-berlin) for our new instalement in the BLVSHcast series. Welcome to Kidcat (@k_i_d_c_a_t).

She told us about her mix: "This is a recording of a set I played at Kwia, Berlin, where I ventured into mixing downtempo and ambient for the first time. Finding the right vibe and sounds that felt natural in this setting was initially a challenge, but it became one of my most personally rewarding sets of the year. I explored a new mixing style and uncovered my own soundscapes within ambient music.

This one-hour mix weaves together soft, groovy, otherworldly, and psychedelic beats, accented with ethereal-like vocals.

Enjoy it while soaking in a bubble bath or sharing a relaxed moment with friends over a glass of wine 🍷🍷"

BLVSHcast 131: Kidcat

For its 25th release, Konstrukt brings us something special: a collaboration between Michal Wołski and Amandra that feels more like a late-night conversation between old friends than just another EP. This isn’t just about music but the moments behind it. Think cups of tea, gear scattered around a room, long chats that meander from the mundane to the profound, and the creative flow that only comes when you’re genuinely vibing with someone.

Today’s premiere is the A-side, “First Tea.” It starts with a gritty groove anchored by a high-pitched sequence that flits around like fireflies in the dark. There’s this dripping sound that sneaks in—unexpected, but somehow it just fits, giving the beat a playful twist. And then those pads roll in, lush and expansive, lifting the track into this heady, feel-good space. It’s the kind of tune that takes its time, letting every layer breathe, building up to a peak that feels almost triumphant. “First Tea” is the track you want when the night’s winding down, but no one’s ready to go home yet.

Tea Sessions EP drops on February 28 on a limited 180-gram vinyl.

For the first of a new series highlighting record labels around the world, we bring you GIFKIKKER - a Brussels-based collective of friends birthed just after the pandemic. Their sound, imagery & adherence to a high level of quality piqued my interest right away when I stumbled upon their soundcloud a couple of months ago. There’s something very fresh about GIFKIKKER - their sound blurs the lines between high octane, driving techno & the more psychedelic, introspective & hypnotic side of things. And that logo.. it’s so compelling & describes their sound & ethos so well. They’ve made a big effort to foster an open-minded experimentalism while still holding onto a consistent mood & tone throughout their releases & their focus on lesser-known talent made them stand out to me right away, akin to a tide pool full of exciting new discoveries. In addition to being a label, they put on events in Belgium & also have a regular mix series ‘Dissection’ which features 20+ mind-bending sets from members of the collective & friends from the Brussels scene & beyond. 

Today we’re premiering a track off of their next release from Berlin-based Ryft who has had a couple of GIFKIKKER appearances over the years. Enjoy ‘Resonator Rythms’ below as well as our interview with the GIFKIKKER collective about how it all came together, their take on the scene in Belgium at the moment & their friendship with Ryft.

IO Podcast Series Episode 065, mixed by Orsu. 
@orsu_trippy

We’re thrilled to share the 65th episode of our podcast series! This time we welcome Orsu, co-founder of the Nebuleuse channel and event series, with a powerful, fast-paced techno journey. 

Known for his hypnotic and evolving narratives, ORSU blends psychedelic and experimental sounds with raw, driving energy. For this mix, he crafted a deeply twisted experience: shifting constantly between steady, rumbling rhythms, intricate polyrhythms, distorted atmospheres, and organic textures.

A big part of the inspiration behind this mix comes from the IO universe itself – featuring tracks by Tenzia, Mordio, FTP Doctor, Polygonia, and many more, mixed with rare and hidden gems. 

While the vibe is definitely techno, it carries a strong IO signature – dynamic, trippy, and deeply immersive. It’s a journey through sound design, raw energy, and detailed storytelling. We are very happy to share this mix with you. Also check out Orsu and his Podcast series Nebuleuse.

Podcast 065 - ORSU

A thick mist clings to the ground as forgotten rhythms pulse beneath the soil, faint and ancient. Bobby Boycott opens the gate with patient hands, leading us into a shifting space where the familiar unravels and language fades.

The path unfolds in scattered steps, each rhythm a fallen fragment, each vibration a distant murmur. Deeper inside, time bends. The slow beat stirs, and serpentine grooves weave through the haze. Shadows move at the edges of perception, and strange forms shimmer before dissolving again.

Sounds stretch into vast plains and fracture into intricate patterns, tracing the outlines of a world without direction. Movements rise and fall without warning, folding into themselves like fading memories — a dream of corridors, endless and crumbling, carried by a pulse half-remembered.

On Dyadica, https://soundcloud.com/aawadh conducts a focused study in rhythm, moving fluidly through drum and bass inflexions, split-tempo sensations and atmospheric end sequences. Released via Norway’s nature-attuned label https://soundcloud.com/annulled_music, the album layers diasporic percussion with sci-fi-leaning sound design, building a propelling continuum that feels both tactile and transportive.
