After a couple of weeks our beloved mix series is back on your feed! Today we welcome non other than Mental Duality a duo formed by Noah Benlloch and Franklin Santos based in Madrid 🇪🇸. They decided to embark on a project that would combine their way of understanding music to take it to its maximum expression and in just over a year they have been able to consolidate themselves and show great shape.

They own the Hölleclub collective and label and are also residents of the @loopstage collective, renowned emerging events of the Madrid nightlife. Their sessions are characterized by seeking constant dynamism, not confining themselves to a single genre, but where percussive rhythms are the protagonists.

Their influences in music are very marked by the techno of the 2000s, wanting them to contribute their creativity to be able to give it a twist, as is reflected both in their sets and in their productions.

What You Told Us

Premiere: Backbone - What You Told Us [CNTMP014]

SHDW presents ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’: a bumper 30-track collection spanning the past, present, and future of techno.

Offering powerful standalone club cuts and a cohesive deep-dive, the expansive VA lands on 24th October 2025.
The fourth edition of SHDW’s flagship ‘Federation Of Rytm’ VA series has been carefully curated by the DJ/ producer and head honcho over more than a year, with close attention to detail given to sequencing. It is a balance of label regulars and debutants that represents the past, present, and future, both sonically and through the generational diversity of the artists involved. There are plenty of surprises along the way while always remaining true to the Mutual Rytm ethos and reflecting the journey of the night from start to finish, whether that's in intimate, sweaty clubs or on big festival stages.

"I’ve lived with most of these tracks for over a year, testing them on the dancefloor and fine-tuning the selection. Each comes from artists I deeply admire, making this compilation a snapshot of the label’s evolution and a glimpse of what’s next. ‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ celebrates connection across generations, while capturing the sounds that inspire me most — telling a story from start to finish.” – SHDW.

Across 30 tracks in the digital collection and 24 on four sides of wax, the release explores the full breadth of the Mutual Rytm sound. Driving grooves and relentless percussion set the pace, gradually unfolding into hypnotic and atmospheric passages that invite deeper immersion. Pulsating low-end power alternates with eerie minimalism, while bursts of futuristic energy and cavernous kick drums keep the tension high. Elsewhere, dub textures and moments of introspection provide balance, creating a narrative arc that moves fluidly between intensity and release, atmosphere and tension, darkness and light.

‘Federation Of Rytm IV’ lands as a 4x12” vinyl package and digitally via Mutual Rytm on 24th October 2025.

Backbone is the alias of Afonso, a Portuguese DJ, producer, and founder of Vinculum Festival. With deep roots in both the raw energy of Jungle/Drum & Bass and the hypnotic structure of techno, his sound reflects a lifelong devotion to rhythm and experimentation. Born in Mondim de Basto and shaped by the underground scenes of Porto and beyond, Backbone blends driving baselines, atmospheric textures, and percussive intensity into DJ sets that are as physical as they are cerebral.

His journey includes acclaimed releases on labels such as Counterchange, Nechto, and Contempo Music, as well as a standout contribution to a VA on Mutual Rytm. In 2025, he launched his own imprint, Crulight Records, as a home for raw, unpredictable, and forward-thinking techno explorations.

As the mind behind Vinculum Festival — a mountain-based gathering now known for booking some of techno's most vital voices — Backbone continues to shape a forward-thinking and deeply personal vision of electronic music, both in the studio and behind the decks.
