In this mesmerizing 2 hours DJ-set recorded last summer 2021 during the Kuboraum + Terraforma event @Funkhaus Harbour, Berlin, DJ Stingray 313 gave no time to rest, gracing the decks with eclectic, warp-speed slithery electronic sounds.

Since the 90s, Sherard Ingram has been one of the most influential artists in the Detroit underground scene. A menacing node in the vast tangle of electronic music’s history, present and future. Founder of Urban Tribe, Ingram worked alongside electro pioneers such as Drexciya, Anthony Shakir, Kenny Dixon Jr aka Moodymann.
DJ Stingray 313's aesthetic was greatly influenced by the duo Drexciya. Their ethos was based on the afro-futurist narrative concept of a sonic fiction. Through a sonic engagement with water, futurity and the transnational dimension of transformation, listeners embark upon a universal journey to a place of self-discovery. In this context, a mythical creature emerging from the aquatic underworld was named DJ Stingray by James Stinson. Besides adding to the consistent aquatic tropes, the name Stingray also acutely embodied his slippery, killer attitude behind the decks. 

With more than three dozen releases, Ingram collaborated with labels as Retroactive, Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, TRUST and Mo Wax, later forming Micron Audio in 2008. In 2017 his first mix CD, Kern Vol.4, was released by Tresor.
From futuristic electro to conceptual ambient to downtempo works, his style is characterised by fast-paced, inventive beat patterns and constant shifts in tones. Warp-speed slithery, metallic techno with a UR punk edge and a rising sense of momentum.
A highly specialized, fine-tuned scientific experiment conducted by a skilled researcher: not euphoric, but more intellectual in nature. Always hectic and highly engaged, but never unfocused. And always carrying the spark of discovery.

¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U is an unsung talent - the Japanese dj remains arguably one of the best and most influential in Asia and has amassed a cult following from those in the know.

Next month will see his talents celebrated via the release of a specially curated mixtape for Midnight Shift as he showcases music from friends such as DJ Nobu, Ryo Murakami, Gabber Modus Operandi, Sapphire Slows and more.

When first approached about the release we knew it would be simply criminal not to ask him if he might be up for contributing a tape to our own ever growing series. Many a dj's favourite dj he does so in fine style selecting an assortment of wild off piste electronics which bend minds and challenge every pretence or stereotype you might ever have known of dance music.

Running through techno, ebm, wave and noisy cuts he delivers a set of wild fluid music which shouldn't fit together but somehow does.

This is a masterclass.

This set is designed to start playing exactly 72 minutes before sunrise for a more enjoyable experience.

At the outdoor raves they host, the sunrise holds profound significance, becoming something akin to a ritual. The passage of time awakens an awareness of the soul, and the sunrise offers the most direct way to experience it. In the darkness of night, this sense of spirituality is often absent, but the sunrise reawakens it, calling it back into the empty body. This set is crafted to support that experience, and they themselves have been profoundly touched by it many times. This is the essence of Minna-no-kimochi.

Evangelists of Eastern Non-corporeal Trance sent from the land of the rising sun. Founded in Tokyo in 2021 as a rave crew, this sect has experimental roots in ambient music and deconstructed club music that has emerged across Asia in recent years.Building on these roots, they deconstruct corporeal club music through their unique interpretation, striving to achieve spiritual elevation. They hold raves irregularly at coastal areas, ruins, and warehouses around Tokyo. They also operate an independent, private network on a certain chat app for community-based activities. As a DJ unit, they actively tour worldwide, performing in Asia and Europe. Their label project, "Mizuha 罔象 (@mizuha-cc)" focuses exclusively on the spiritual aspect, gathering innovative works from around the world.

Welcome back to another edition broadcasting from the HER 他 Transmission Mix Series, our mix series showcasing amazing artists from around the world. For the 200th edition, just before HER 他 marks its fifth anniversary, joining the celebration is Berlin-based lesbian icon DJ AYA https://soundcloud.com/djayaya, co-head of (lip) service.

Zurich-born and Berlin-based, DJ AYA has a talent for amplifying the vitality, sexiness, and energy of any dancefloor. Their intention is always “to bring the queers to dance,” drawing inspiration from Berlin’s local scene while exploring underground communities in cities like Istanbul and Tokyo.

AYA’s love of UK bass, developed during a seven-year stint in London, sparked their passion for electronic music. This bass-driven groove and playfulness have shaped AYA’s approach to mixing, which blends clean, immersive techno kicks with diasporic influences such as grime vocals and reggaeton beats.

A special set for the FLINTAs sex party DJ AYA played at Slit at Berghain Lab. She is slow and sexy. Please enjoy.

In just a few years, AYA’s career has soared, with a packed schedule of weekly gigs at standout venues like Khidi in Tbilisi, Boiler Room sets in Lisbon and Berlin, and Live From Earth’s Panorama Bar showcase.

Since 2020, HER 他 has released a new mix on SoundCloud every week and offers an open-call submission opportunity to all. HER 他 is a weekly mixtape and event series, as well as a platform that focuses on supporting women and minorities. Represented by the Chinese character "他" (Ta), which symbolizes a genderless identity.

For its milestone 200th edition, HER 他 is excited to feature DJ AYA as the special guest.
