When the beats are rolling, the floor is shaking and your mind is wandering to the stars, it must be a good way to end the year. We're glad to have a sonic guide as experienced as Floating Machine as our last adept of 2024.

Hailing from Portugal, Antonio was trained on regular instruments such as guitar, piano and saxophone, which he played in various jazz, funk and reggae combos. It was in these bands that he began to take an interest in hypnotic and psychedelic soundscapes, before finally venturing into the realms of electronic music. His earlier influences can still be felt in his interpretation of techno, while he delves deep into the palette of ambient and experimental sounds with masterful skill.
With his productions and sets, he aims to take the listener on adventurous and unpredictable sonic journeys, using his music to connect and communicate.

This fast-paced mix develops a hypnotic flow that is hard to resist. And while it has real dancefloor qualities, it still retains Floating Machine's signature artistry and intelligent sound design, bringing rich textures, tribal rhythms and epic atmospheres. A special brew with which we gladly bid farewell to the year 2024... 

Thank you to everyone who has joined our cause this year. See you on the other side for more hypnotic adventures in 2025!

Born in 2012, Sündenböck & Maddizin (S&M) project is the creative union of two longtime friends who set out to explore electronic music together. Starting with a passion for Techno and Minimal, their journey soon led them into the deeper realms of psychedelic music and its vibrant culture.

Through years of performing and curating both indoor and outdoor events, they shaped a unique musical identity. Armed with an evolving setup of synthesizers, mixers, and effects, they craft a sound that fuses analog warmth with electronic precision.

Today, S&M delivers a powerful blend of Tech-Trance and Zenonesque influences, constantly pushing the boundaries between Techno and Psy to create an immersive and distinctive sonic experience.


She is the ever flowing water, the gigantic maelstrom, the irresistable swirl of hypnotic sound, which sucks you in, rolls you over and releases you as a different being.

Label for deep, dark and hypnotic Techno curated by @vittjas-tief and @dj-kindred.
