Tech y highS

40 SHADES OF TECHNO # 18 "HYPNOTISM"

Better late than never - here's my recording for the October Habitat last year! This was a closing psytech (with a little dark prog at the end) set 3-5am after @lewis-music-sa. Having opened for him earlier in the year at Echo (https://soundcloud.com/deacon_za/echo-valley-of-dreams-sat-night-26-march-2022) it was nice to flip things around and it allowed me to dive into the darker side of my collection. Taking over from his high energy sound was a fun challenge. It was also one of the biggest (and best crowds) I've played to - which all resulted in probably my favourite psychedelic techno progression thus far. Hope you guys enjoy it!

We're thrilled to welcome the psytech queen of Norway, Safira, to the SixthSense stables, officially. We properly connected with Safira in 2022, when SixthSense alongside Stone Seed performed for her at her elite Norwegian techno parties. Her brand "Extra Delicious" hosts a plethora of the biggest names in the psychedelic culture. Not only that, she has just launched her new imprint Monstera Deliciosa with a collaborative VA on Alpaka Muzik.

Safira returns to Australia this Summer for another tour down under, and we can't wait to invite her back.

Rise through the night.
Midnight Ascent is a dark, atmospheric journey through Progressive and Melodic Techno, built on driving low-end, hypnotic grooves, and evolving melodic tension. Each track climbs slowly, layering emotion, rhythm, and energy into a powerful late-night experience designed for clubs, warehouses, and afterhours sets.

From deep rolling basslines to shimmering synth lines and cinematic builds, Midnight Ascent captures the feeling of movement, elevation, and release — where the dancefloor lifts and time disappears.

🎧 Turn the lights down. Let the rhythm guide you upward.

Midnight Ascent

Driven by a passion for discovering music; deacon has built a formidable collection spanning from downtempo through psychedelic techno to a deep progressive all containing a homogeneous groovy energy and impeccable sound design. Currently signed to @techgnosisrecords, he carefully selects tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to each event and lineup with one purpose: to introduce new sounds that bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Full bio:
Driven foremost by a passion for discovering new music; Matthew Deacon has built a treasure chest of audible gold and has been sharing these gems with dancefloors for over a decade now.

A varying palate for sound led to the discovery of psychedelic techno in 2017 and prompted a rebrand under his namesake with a more focused sound. Hooked by the layers, depth, vast variety of sounds and intrinsic musical nature the genre presented led to the emergence of the soundscape we know as Deacon.

As time progressed he started discovering more music, artists and labels representing these similar characteristics; at a higher tempo there was deep/dark progressive, a lighter side of Zenonesque, and slowing things down with a reinterpretation of downtempo, akin to pitched down techno. And whilst these can be considered three distinct genres, they all hold a similar energy; with deep basslines, organic elements and impeccable production, and Deacon enjoys navigating between them. Carefully selecting tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to the event and lineup with one purpose: to bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.
