Oana Maria Puciu, or simply Oana, is a DJ and electronic music producer born in Craiova, Romania. The management of Ariki Records label, her membership to the global network #femalepressure, collaboration with Feeder.ro or Electronic Beats and her recent contract with the agency Tauri in Stockholm, keep the artist busy and always on the move. Her travels have begun to mix with experiences that take her beyond the boundaries of club music into the field of sound therapy. Perhaps her most interesting qualities are her honesty and openness to new understandings…
 

Oana immediately stands out with a long and substantial introduction: a voice that resembles Allan Watts invites us to face our fears, over a peaceful ambient soundscape. With birds chirping and a playful classic guitar, eerie synth notes add to the psychedelic flavour of this opening. In an audacious mixing, the artist introduces percussions and rhythm elements, as we witness a sonic metamorphosis into a dancing setting. Rich basses spice up the mix along with Hispanic vocals. She really takes time in the narrative to develop a deep state of trance, with hypnotic shamanic loops that intertwine in a forest scenery. The steady progression goes back and forth between raw, old-school tracks and mesmerizing jungle atmospheres. In the end, this set is a door to another dimension and real food for the soul, peppered with bizarre details and meaningful messages all along the performance.

Mitch von Arx — Drifters & Shifters, Vol. 1

A new EP series for the lo-fi & lazy grooves I’ve been sketching out in the background. Time to let these floaty tunes loose.

We’re looking at three volumes in 2026. Something like that :)

Thanks so much for your support 🙏

First podcast by Jos Lok who released on archipel in the last years and is also a close collaborator to Pheek's studio.

Jos lok is a Techno and House producer from Groningen, the Netherlands.
Jos Lok is a DJ and producer residing in the beautiful city of Groningen, the Netherlands. Jos has been obsessed with rhythmical sounds from a young age. He naturally started moving his feet or nodding his head when hearing even a hint of groove. Not only catchy percussion caught his attention, deep emotional chords and melodies were also very welcome. As a result of his encompassing love for music, Jos started playing the drums when he was nine years old. After a few years of going through the metal music repertoire and playing in a band he acquired a new taste in music. His focus was redirected to Techno music back when he first entered the club and festival scene. Evidently, he started producing his own Techno and House. A stripped down beat, groovy bass and just the right chords or another melodic component is the perfect formula for inspiration for Jos.
Nowadays, Jos Lok manages to make a wonderful blend of minimalistic sounds and House music. His style can be distinctly categorised by its aim for innovation. His tracks can be described as a colourful story that progresses into a strong groove. His music has been released on labels such as Archipel and Vivus records. Jos Lok receives support from artist like Pheek, Christhoper Ledger, David Gtronic and Noah Skelton.
