dileta mixes

Introducing pasca aka Dileta (@diletamtl) straight from Montreal's heart. 

Big fan of her music selection and curation. First mix of the year and definitely one of the most intenses we had. She'll take you through lots of technoish tribal, industrial influences, and hidden breakbeat gems. 

Enjoy***

DILETA - VRGN X RNDVZ

I could probably write a thesis at this point about the sonics of suburban ennui and self-discovery — for now it’s mixes like this that help me realize that no I was not truly alone out in the suburbs, there were other kindred spirits scattered hither and yon. @diletamtl is one of said spirits - a dear friend and absolute mind bending dj / selector / artist / whatever who has developed a keen sense of atmosphere and world building. "Ducking Life: a record of urban seclusion" est une heure d'ennui cinématique, familiar to many that grew up in suburbia at the start of the end of history.

"This one is mostly cinematic synth-heavy slow beats: downtempo, industrial, post-punk, slowfast motorik, experimental atmospherics - with a couple unsettling emotional favourite "centerpieces". I tried to capture the feeling of (sub)urban disconnection - walking aimlessly for hours and feeling like an outsider in your own hometown, with a melancholic warmth in your chest, terrifying thoughts and beings smashing around. (Also about feeling like a ducking duck)."

Milan-based Piezo (@piezopz) sits at the heart of the current club sounds. He has long had an obsession with sound system music and that defines what he does today: mutant and beguiling club tracks with meticulous sound design and thrilling energy, heavy low ends and a real dose of UK influence from d&b to garage, grime and techno. He kicked off the year by dropping his genre-busting Ecstatic Nostalgia EP on our Dekmantel-UFO sub-label and now returns with a podcast that is just as fresh.

It's a futuristic mix of bleeping machines and lurching rhythms with bright synth designs and deep space ambience. Over the course of 90 minutes, the pace picks up and you're whisked along a variety of rhythms from broken to dubby, head spinning to minimal. It feels utterly spontaneous but is also a fully coherent mix from this restless innovator. 

Dekmantel Mix 483 - Piezo

A beautifuls set from @djwiggles. ~~~ 

"This set is a recording from my closing set on NYE at London’s Venue MOT. As someone who is probably just as in love with curating as I am with DJing, I get really excited when I connect with a line up & understand what role I might have to play in the unfolding of the night. This one had a bit of everything, Djrum / mama snake / priori / jon k / jossy mitsu & I really wanted to bring something special together to reflect the array of sounds across the night whilst also keeping it quite fun and nostalgic. A nod to that special energy that we all feel on New Years Eve where everyone wants to hug their friends and tell them they love them. The set starts with a fun peak time energy before melting away into some slower sludgy sounds. By the end of the night there were only a few people left floating around the dance floor, everyone with their heads down and eyes closed, just swaying their bodies. My favourite time of night."

subglow/Live 4: Dj wiggles @ MOT

a kaleidoscopic session from one of the uk’s best gems, wordcolour. an artist who excels in storytelling through their productions, this approach to his craft is translated in podcast 215 as the mix gently starts with stunning ambient moments before building into a masterclass of drum programming. pacing through halftime, techno and IDM, it’s an unpredictable 72 minutes with wordcolour showing us his cards — a hand dealt with authenticity as a marker of where he’s at right now as a dj and producer. 

wordcolour made his production debut on lapsus records in 2020 before heading over to fabric’s esteemed imprint houndstooth where he released ‘juno way’ - a breakthrough record as such for wordcolour. this was the beginning of a long-standing relationship with houndstooth where he also went on to release ‘bluster’ ep featuring remixes from djrum, dj python and the soft pink truth, his debut album ‘the trees were buzzing, and the grass.’ and the ratios series. on all of these records, wordcolour’s ability to create detailed, immersive soundscapes which emotionally resonated with both home listening and dancefloor moments, has shined through. continuing on this path of world building, earlier this month wordcolour released the first ep on his new label, TiHKAL, from london-based artist st. amp. a label dedicated to exploring psychedelic soundscapes which is a direction that wordcolour has been producing in recently as well as ties in with the parties he now likes to attend, TiHKAL will be a new home for tracks that land within the 150-200 / 75-100 bpm zone.

to celebrate the release, wordcolour has pulled together a mix that delves into the influences behind this new direction and we chat more about the concept of TiHKAL, approach to curation, early influences and more.

Untitled 909 Podcast 215: Wordcolour

Recording from a special night at Ankali for the Dekmantel party 2 weeks ago, it’s one of the best clubs in Europe for me, truly a place for pure creative expression.

From House to Techno to Ghetto Tech to more minimal and tribal and dub stuff. Lately, I feel like I’m getting deeper into my sound and storytelling as a dj. I’m also getting better at playing with 3 decks, and I got back into vinyl. It changes everything, the music feels physical again. I'll try to share things more spontaneously like this one in the future, thanks for your constant support.

Simo Cell (dj set) @ Dekmantel in Ankali - 2025

Bristol-based @k_means operates at the fringes of electronic music. It's not tempo and genre that unites their sound, but more an exploration of mood and texture underpinned by bass-heavy low ends and hypnotic rhythms. The Noods, Rinse FM and Kiosk Radio regular is also resident at Bristol's Psychotherapy Sessions and will debut at Dekmantel Festival where you should fully expect to be taken into plenty of unknown musical territory.

It is the same with their mix for us this week - a wild trip into futuristic drum patterns and interplanetary sounds that melt the mind and contort the body. There is a constant push and pull between the organic and the synthetic with tribal percussion and warped vocals brushing up with bleeping synth modulations and experimental minimalism. It's a magnetic selection that's as much an imaginary movie soundtrack as it is a dance floor escape.

Dekmantel Mix 487 - k means

subcast is born, an incantation of adventurous sonic alchemy behind radiant subs. The inimitable Razrbark kicks things off. Strap in for a chemistry-altering ride.
@razrbark's interview below--->

ℚ: ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕓𝕖 ℝ𝕒𝕫𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕗𝕖𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤?

A: Live edge, live wire

Q: Describe the story behind Razrbark's Specific Heat.

A: Specific Heat measures how resistant (or not) substances are to temperature changes, specifically how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of something by one degree. This concept from chemistry has always stuck with me and is something I thought of after listening to the finished product of this mix/let's be real I just think it sounds cool.

When I first started prepping for this mix, I went in a very different direction and had a rough draft, but it felt tedious, trying to force ideas and tracks in a way that required a lot of energy with little output. Sometimes, things pour out of you and sometimes, they don't. 

One day, a very exciting booking came through (spoiler alert: it was Honcho @ Hot Mass). With the adrenaline rush of the booking, I immediately started mixing tracks from the extremes of my USB, and everything flowed really easily. I decided to hit record, and it came together in a way that felt much more organic. I also unearthed many tracks I had forgotten about that were collecting cobwebs on my stick but that I always loved.

Anyway, all this to say, just like in chemistry, sometimes you need the right conditions for a reaction to truly take off~~~

Q: What is your ideal dancefloor (fictional or real).

The Bronze.

Q: When is the last track that made subs glow for you?

A: Two specific tracks come to mind:
https://snappedankles.bandcamp.com/track/come-play-the-trees-crooked-ankles-2
To me this is the perfect track. I played it at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh sometime after 6am a bit slower than this. I love how it has so much raw power behind it. Big chug NRG. I've always loved this song from the same band. It has a very Iggy Pop/Plastic Bertrand sensibility to it, but I've never been able to play it on a dance floor, so I was happy when I found this edit that is a bit more dance floor friendly and still has the rock/dance vibe that I feel is a hallmark of my sound.

Another track:
I just played this song towards the end of my set at Afterlife in Seattle this weekend. The bass was so intense my drink literally bounced across a table and fell to the floor. I'd say the subs were glowing hard.
https://normalpleasure.bandcamp.com/track/heart-palpitations-on-the-m1

Q: What track/artist was a musical game-changer for you?

A: Föllakzoid. It's psych rock, it's techno, it's everything. Each time I've seen them play, it's world-building and expansive. 

Q: If this mix was a book or a movie what would it be? 

A: It would be in Walk Hard Part 2, when Dewey goes through his drum and bass era.

subcast #1 ✹ Razrbark's Specific Heat

Our 60th podcast comes from Mike Midnight.

Over the past decade, Mike has established himself as a versatile DJ, with standout downtempo EPs like Angel Hours and the collaborative trickpony with Roza Terenzi and Gem K. His productions channel early 2000s nostalgia through lush textures, emotional pulls, and playful sampling.

Recent mixes for NTS’s Braden Wells, Rinse.fm’s Baraka, and pipipi showcase his deep knowledge of club music, trip hop, and downtempo. With a delicate grip on energy and flow, Mike delivers a hazy morning-after remedy of hopeful synth pads, angelic vocal washes, and bleepy melodies.
