We hope you enjoy this vinyl only tribute mix to record label Planet Rhythm by Australian Dj Code618

Pathway

We're back for the #57th episode of our Schimmer podcast series with Sev Dah.

Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham and, of course, Sarajevo.
Bosnian-built and -bred Sev Dah may be a Swedish expat, but the Balkan blackness clings strongly to the bleak percussions and rigidly uneasy synthetics that unwillingly fuse into his strongly individual take on techno. Authentically purveying the pulsations of the nakedly throbbing and ugly world, far away from Starbucks and H&M. 


Signed to respected labels such as Random Island, Mote-Evolver and Kaiser's KSR, he quickly gnawed his way into the scene’s core of DJs and producers. Sev is even managing new projects on his own label Proletarijat since 2016. Like a rabid mongrel, since 1998 he has been chewing and belching new bastard beats that are aching to scream out. Consequently there’s a steaming and steady stream of vinyl releases coming.


With influences ranging from Stigmata and Mills to Master Reese and Petar Dundov, Sev Dah is a versatile but headstrong DJ that can gently ease a thumb in at midnight or fervently thrust it down the hatch at peak time.

Following his two reinterpretations of last year’s "JK Flesh Remixes" and four years after his solo EP "A Day In The Life" in 2021, Bicknell takes us deep into the realms of his sonic mysticism, marking a significant milestone in the fifth anniversary of the label.

Several Streams of Thought LP - is an unrelenting and immersive odyssey, presented through nine tracks, seven of which will be available on a double 12-inch vinyl, with two exclusive cuts in a limited 7-inch format.

Maltese talent Human Safari debuts on Mutual Rytm with jazz-influenced techno EP, ‘Culture Shock’.

Human Safari is a key player in his native scene in Malta. He’s a resident at Glitch Festival, has played cult spots, and has a dynamic sound that brings jazz improvisation to techno, often featuring live instrumental elements. His music has found its place on top labels like R&S Records, and most of this new EP for SHDW’s Mutual Rytm imprint was produced during his Colombian summer tour last year - written and recorded amongst inspiring and unusual settings with just a laptop and headphones.

“This EP represents embracing new beginnings that, though might bring uncertainty and fear, the light always guides you to where you were always meant to be.” - Human Safari.

Opener ‘Mouse on Keys’ has been a key cut for the label boss across the past year, a unique track that peaks curiosity from dancers to DJs whenever it’s played. Its cantering techno rhythm is overlaid with delicate, heartfelt piano keys straight from a smoky jazz bar, making for a great counter to the physical drums. ‘Fragments’ is a deeply personal track dedicated to the artist’s late grandfather. It's a funky, soulful techno roller with blissed-out and sunny chords full of hope.

Next, ‘Classique’ gets more gritty with loopy drums and bass and glitchy percussion that fizzes with energy, while ‘The Labyrinth’ features piano motifs recorded in just one take. It brings a dark paranoia in the uneasy, off-grid keys which dart about with nervous energy over the booming low ends. There is just as much intensity and edge to the unresolved keys that loop over the raw drums on ‘A Rainy Day in Bogota’, before digital bonus cuts ‘Dorian’ and ‘Phantom’ bring more jazzed out techno madness with warped keys and expressive elements bringing great invention.

Human Safari ‘Culture Shock’ lands on Mutual Rytm on 18th July 2025.

Sonoral Resistance

In a worldwide moment that most of people that consume art prefer to do it in a faster and superficial way here is a sonoral trip of two hours that propose resisting the immediacy and disposable consumption of art. A exploration of patience and looping including sounds and textures that inspires me to make music that feels alive.

Act 1: Textural proposal 
Act 2: Introducing loop and periodic stuff breaking the cycle
Act 3: Becoming matter

The 170th guest of KHIDI’s podcast series is VSK. Since his earliest youth, he has had a deep passion for electronic music. After being introduced to the world of DJing at the age of 16, he became familiar with various forms of techno. His style ranges from a sound that is often tough and dark, with strong industrial influences, to a deeper and more mental approach—both still easily recognizable as coming from the same creative mind

KHIDI Podcast 170: VSK

Our guest VIL goes deep into his collection for this exclusive podcast with some of his favourite B-sides and leftfield gems. Jazzy, funky and delightfully dreamy, this session is made up of Nuno’s gentler and earthier side. With nods to house, ukg and detroit electro, this mix might be exactly what you need to get the week going.
