On March 1st we celebrated the debut of Refractor On Tour in London. For those who were there, it was a night to be remembered for a long time, not only for reaching almost full capacity, but for the exceptional musical quality and the atmosphere that enveloped us.

This nearly two-hour session blends deep techno textures with progressive trance flows, reflecting the beginning of what TSUNIMAN and ANNX offered in their very first b2b inside a club.

Their connection was effortless, their dialogue in sound setting the dancefloor at the perfect temperature, embraced by a devoted crowd who chose to be there from the very first moment.

Listen back and let yourself feel the resonance of that night,  link in bio.

"I'm deeply honored to contribute to the nunsen·tape series. From the beginning, I've admired this project and the dedicated souls who work in devotion to sustain and evolve this sonic sanctuary.

Through this mix, I sought to honor what I see as the project's core philosophy: the commitment to mindful creation, and those carefully curated aesthetics that breathe through ambient, minimal, dub and dub techno realms."

Monochrome presents, 𝖊́𝖙𝖊́ 𝓥 : basic chanel, Untitled 909.

This summer, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
In the twilight hours where basslines bloom like roots beneath the soil, basic chanel weaves her worlds. Guided by low-end frequencies that shimmer like constellations underwater, she builds sets that feel less like parties and more like spells - otherworldly journeys through mist, shadow, and sudden bursts of colour. Her sound drifts between hypnotic techno, psychedelic dub, and dream-heavy bass, stitched together with the care of a storyteller threading myth and memory. 

A London-based DJ, writer, and founder of the acclaimed platform Untitled 909, Chanel’s curatorial voice is as distinctive as her mixes: textured, emotional, and gently radical. Whether on the radio or playing at international clubs and festivals, she conjures spaces where the overlooked and the infinite collide - where the floor itself hums like an ancient drum and every note flickers like candlelight against stone. Some of her key gigs so far include Open Ground, Corsica Studios, Sublimation Festival in Uzbekistan, Bait takeover at Le Sample Paris, The Pickle Factory, and Floorless Festival to name a few. She’s contributed mixes to renowned series’ such as Sure Thing, Pure Space, Origins Tapes, Theory Therapy alongside radio shows across Rinse FM, LYL Radio, Refuge World and Netil Radio - the latter two are the home of her radio residencies, Untitled 909 and spirialling, naturally. 

With roots in music journalism and PR, Chanel has long worked as a bridge between artists and audiences. As basic chanel, she carries this ethos into her sound - championing the subterranean, the psychedelic, and the subtle.

"This set was recorded at dawn on a Sunday morning, closing out a long day of incredibly inspiring music. I hadn’t gone to bed yet and was so locked into the sound that by the time I started playing, I was already deep in a trance. I took over from Formant Value & Simone Bauer’s live set, picking up the momentum where they left off, then gradually brought the BPM down, leaning into psychedelic textures and trance-laced rhythms.

Those two hours flew by - we were all locked in. It’s a rare kind of magic to do what you love in a place like Refractor, where most artists stay for the whole weekend to immerse themselves in the community and support each other. Music has this way of creating deep connections, and you could feel that throughout the festival. We were part of something unique.

And the crowd... what can I say. Even after a full day of dancing, they stayed with me through the entire set, joining me on the sonic journey I was crafting to carry us into the morning."

Swiss-born, London-based artist TSUNIMAN has gracefully imprinted the London scene with their spellbinding selections from the underground, spanning raw trance, spacey techno, tribal rhythms, and progressive delights. TSUNIMAN's sound alchemy merges dark, hypnotic elements with ethereal vibrations, creating otherworldly soundscapes that captivate the senses. A resident at Klub Verboten and a regular at FOLD's UNFOLD party, TSUNIMAN has graced the decks at renowned institutions from Berghain's Säule to Macadam.

Tune in now for a deeply cerebral trip of TSUNIMAN’s masterfully executed hypnotic alchemy - recorded live at Refractor 2025.

We are very happy to present you with the 56th chapter in our Podcast Series today, a powerful deep listening mix recorded live at Perpendicular 2025 by our dear friend ~ Horizontal. Setting the scene, imagine yourself laying down comfortably in a wooden cabin deep in the woods at night time, in profound communion with your fellow listeners and letting the sounds collective carry you inwards 🌚✨
 
I first met Paul two years ago playing at one of my favourite ambient rooms at a small gathering in Scotland, then again last year at Backsteinboot in Berlin where we both played as part of an all night sleepover ambient event Rausch. Both times, I was mesmerised by the composure and depth of Paul’s music and demeanour, two qualities that truly shine through in this sublime mix probing the realms of drone ambient, minimalism, avant-garde and electro-acoustic composition 💫

This hour and a half of slithering drones, liquefied glitches, deep nocturnal soundscapes and ritual sonics is occasionally punctuated by narration. It ebbs and flows between barely audible and fiercely present as it deliberately stretches the scope of listening with its passage. The further in you listen, the deeper in you go 🔮

"Morning unfolds gently in the forest - steam rising from a cup of tea, birdsong carrying its own field recording. The set drifts from luminous ambient into unhurried downtempo and smoky, weightless dub, every transition seamless, every tone in its place. A soundtrack not imposed on the hour, but in harmony with it - unfolding in quiet perfection."

Luismi aka guisvi (@guisvi), a music lover for more than 3 decades, has a wide range of atmospheric music. Exquisite selector and great storyteller, he has always been rather elusive in city clubs, often seen at private parties and the most underground events. His sets of ambient and low-tempo electronica are true journeys with subtle and extended blends. Sequences that breathe, atmospheres, and textures to dance with closed eyes.

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

«The Japanese artist OCCA embodies that spirit with his solid trajectory, and his set at Mostra 2025 was perhaps the best example of how an electronic journey can be as original as it is absorbing, as nuanced and layered as it is genre-defying. Tracks unfolded with a sensitivity that challenged the very logic of convention.»

«El artista japonés OCCA encarna este espíritu con su sólida trayectoria, y su set en la edición de Mostra de este 2025 es, posiblemente, el mejor ejemplo de cómo se conjuga un viaje electrónico tan original como absorbente, tan sugerente como lleno de matices y géneros electrónicos, con tracks y una sensibilidad musical que desafían la lógica de lo convencional.»

DSS 032 is recorded by Ruben Borgers, aka Grava. This young producer/DJ has already proven himself to be a great selector with a broad vision on electronics. As a part of the Pinnacle collective, operating in Leuven, he already shared decks with artists like AnD, Gaja, VSK, MPIA3, Endlec, Paul Birken,...

Despite throwing one of Belgium's craziest industrial parties he chose deeper tracks to compose his contribution, made-to-measure for DSS.
