Under-the-radar Japanese selector, Yuta Suzuki graces us with his first recording in a couple of years. Having built a reputation for having his ear very close to the ground in the endless hunt for interesting, obscure music, this mix speaks to a man who's done exactly that. 

Put together in a remarkably patient way, it's a mature, eclectic collection of underground tracks that possess a certain character, with a slightly off-kilter thread running through.

To keep the Bonanza cauldron bubbling, we are thrilled to drop the full 3 hours of XDB's glorious Sunday morning slot from Bonanza back in March. 

Anyone who has heard XDB knows that these after-hours moments are where he shines brightest, and this is on full display for Rio 005, as he weaves his way effortlessly through the deepest of deep house, ambient techno, electro, acid and tech house. The music XDB plays is always hard to put your finger on, but is consistently interwoven with a certain intangible feeling and emotion. For many this was an absolute highlight of the festival, so we couldn't be happier to share this with you as the 5th instalment of our mix series.

"This is a kind of honest mix that I've recorded using the same record bag I took to one of my recent gigs, featuring music from Umwelt, Damon Wild, Kassem Mosse, Timeline and many more..."

The Closer (Kyiv) resident and Lifeform record shop owner, Andre aka Shakolin - having played for us in London at the end of 2023 - shares a recent home recording for the 18th instalment in the series.

Plaintive speech from Oppenheimer and bleepy techno open the recording with a sense of foreboding for what's about to unravel.

Shakolin meanders his way through dubbed out acid lines and a particularly relevant style of glitchy, minimalist techno. A soft and reflective moment of electro shifts the mix down a gear before proceeding with driving, 4X4 grooves. 

This 75 minute recording comes from a seasoned digger and selector who has rightfully made his way to some of the best underground stages and platforms in the world. 

Enjoy :) <3

OOZ mix018 - Shakolin

live: Matthias @ Superluminal at Platforma Wolff

Closer residents Karine and Shakolin have made a name for themselves off the back of a seemingly bottomless pit of interesting underground records. This mix is completely on-brand; a patient blend of moody electronics across the club continuum, put together with the confidence of a couple of seasoned selectors.

Bringing a little slice of jungle sunshine in these winter months, next up we have a chunk of Vera's set from Bonanza 2024.

Recorded deep on the Sunday night, Vera took us on a proper trip deep into her acidic vortex. Unhurried, classy and psychedelic, Vera artfully guided our weary feet through the witching hour of the last night of the festival. 

Don't miss her during Bonanza 2025, this time taking care of some after-hours terrace action.

Hailing from Gent, Belgium, Damien Dardenne aka Session 4000 has been making waves with his recent releases, including his submission to the Off The Grid imprint.  He is also a talented deejay, channeling his bubbling energy and enthusiastic flair into his mixes. This session was recorded at clubdervisionaere in summer of 2024, a dubby chunky journey with the right amount of trippyness, original cdv material... ;)

'Day In The Night' (Aftermix) is a stripped-back and raw house groove. Deft details come in the form of sonorous bell hits, dusty breaks and cooing vocals. It's well-swung, heads-down tackle for intimate back rooms with an alluring sense of late-night soul.
