The full recording of Vardae at Ratherlost 24hrs edition in Lofi, Amsterdam on August 18th, 2024. The French organizer of the Ouroboros festival went all-out for the closing, spinning a relentless vortex of breaks, techno, dubstep, and jungle woven together in a tribalistic climax of sound and energy.

What’s better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D’Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more. 

Across both mixes you will hear Cio’s unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist’s touch.

Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

MNMT 478 : Cio D’Or (dada)

We’re excited to welcome @joaquincornejomusic to our sixth SoundSculptors episode. The Ecuadorean musician recorded a stunning improvised live set for us in collaboration with talented visual artist Wraura, who created a giant impressive painting during the span of the whole performance. They work in some kind of symbiosis while creating spontaneous and live, very fascinating.

I am exploring soft sound in a fast tempo. Layering structures and moods, soundscapes from past and present. Listening to sound as an alive being.

We’re very happy to share the next chapter of our Podcast Series with you. 
This time, Diana Driș guides us through a fresh and percussive journey filled with rhythm, playful glimpses, deep grooves, and captivating energy.

Diana Driș, based in Transylvania, leans into different sides of techno, broken beats, bass and everything in between, with a soft spot for off-kilter textures and twists. Through her monthly Pearlescent Show on Black Rhino Radio, she presents a broad spectrum of deep music, blending multiple moods and patterns. 

This mix is inspired by the feeling of a forest hike, where everything slowly unfolds. Calm stretches shifting into sudden ascents or descents. The pace sometimes eases, while at other moments it drives harder and faster, echoing those bursts of energy found along the trail. Tracks have been chosen for their earthy, raw qualities, alongside others that bring sharper edges and dynamic tension, keeping the journey alive and balanced. With this very nice selection by Diana Driș, the mix invites listeners to immerse themselves in this unfolding path. Join us on this beautiful journey!

IO Podcast Series Episode 067, Liveset recorded by Stagnat.
@stagnat


-

Stagnat is an electronic audio-visual project formed by two Slovenian artists based in Vienna. Emerging from a shared desire to merge musical and visual expression, their work channels a raw, experimental energy. Their sound oscillates between dark techno textures and the unpredictable noise of the everyday: the rumble of a passing train, the dissonant chatter of birds, the pale light of a gray morning filled with restless nostalgia.

Since their debut as an improvised live act at Festival Izvir in 2019, Stagnat have evolved toward a more cohesive yet instinctive performance style, developing a distinct sonic identity. Their creative journey has unfolded through a series of self-releases and collaborations, from their first EP Synchrony of Falling to their debut album and film on Singularity Recordings, and later through their own label, DE/FRAGMENT (@defragment-sound). Across these releases, they have refined a sound that blurs the lines between structure and spontaneity.

In this episode, we dive into Synthetic Oases. A hypnotic exploration of the fragile sanctuaries and structures we create to feel secure. These digital mirages promise connection while quietly distorting the world around us. As the first notes unfold, the illusion fractures, exposing the quiet truth that everything is transient. From there, the set emerges as a meditation on tension and release, defiance and surrender. Both harsh and tender, Synthetic Oases moves like a pulse between chaos and calm, guiding us toward the haunting beauty that lingers at the brink of collapse.
