@dreamcastmoe music for the soul effortlessly blends genres and BPMs

"I wanted to capture what it was like to see me live. I set Jayda up, made sure she felt good getting up on stage – sang the last song to the crowd. I wanted something that was a look into what it is to hang out with me when I’m performing live – everybody has a good time, everybody feels safe and loved, you know what I’m saying?"

We first caught wind of maya q earlier this year though her sophomore release for London imprint All Centre. Anyone with a penchant for hot footing it to a takeaway after a late night booze up will have had a chuckle at the title of the first track. Merrily, I hastened to the chicken shoppe / beno (soft) marked maya's second outing on the well-respected label, following 2021's I just wanna. 

Both EPs, along with the releases' predecessor on Scuffed Recordings, showcase her experimental approach to creating swung rhythms, low end frequencies and syncopated drum patterns inspired by jungle, UK bass, breaks and UKG, but with her own unique melodic and playful touch.

When maya isn't making music, she DJing as part of the Co-Select crew alongside the likes of TSUNIMAN, Airali and Will Hofbauer, the latter of whom released her most recent musical outing, break rev, on his Third Place imprint.

We got her on board for a mix that threads together the music she loves from poppy electronics to ethereal jungle, liquid DnB and playful vox-soaked rhythms.

Happy Valentines day <3

About 2 years ago, we contacted Arno to ask if he was interested in contributing to our series. He agreed, but on 1 condition. He wanted to record DSS 069, due to obvious reasons. The universe wanted number 69 on Valentines Day, so we didn't hesitate a second and planned ahead.

Today, Arno presents his interpretation on deep space music. Mostly focussed on the loners, but also compatible for first, second & third base boners

Enjoy <3

In just a short space of time and with but a few releases, Berlin based Brit Jay Donaldson has carved out his own house style. Referencing old school Chicago nostalgia whilst coming laden with analogue textures and jacked up beats, his sounds have come in the form of a couple of EPs on Lobster Theremin and are soon to be released on a debut EP for Dekmantel (out on March 16). His In Gold EP features three more spiritual house cuts with crisp percussion and elastic basslines, cosmic synths and heartfelt pads that have real purpose. Ahead of that, though, he serves up the next instalment in our podcast series. 

Starting with some deep, melodic house music the mix then smoothly transitions through some tropical sounding beats and painfully emotive vocal grooves that being to pick up the pace.  Classics like No Smoke’s 1989 cut ‘Koro Koro’ then proves Palms Trax digs deep for his musical nuggets as he journeys through hip house, Latin inflected broken beat and more experimental and harder hitting fare in the final section. The style is considered and cerebral, the music is lush and evocative and the selections are brave and fresh. As such, this is a subtly stirring mix that will awaken your week in the nicest of ways.

Scottish DJ and producer Nick Moore is Linkwood, someone who applies a master craftsmen and hugely artistic approach to everything he does. Because of this, he has a reputation for fantastically deep house that is magically ornamental, resplendent with atmospheric ambiance and littered with moving melody. He releases on local label Firecracker and its sub label Shevnchenko, and most recently offered up the tripled vinyl delights of his second album, Expressions. 

Now he is taking up the mantel on our podcast series and serves up just over an hour of sumptuous sound. Despite being a relatively short set, the Scot manages to cram a lot in, from dub techno to intergalactic deep house via spaced out jams and intricately melodic tech. Importantly, every record he reaches for bares all the hallmarks of that emotive Linkwood sound we all know and love, so stick it on and allow yourself to get lost at the hands of a real master.

Already arrived at the twentieth podcast in the Dekmantel Podcast series, Dusseldorf's Jan Schulte aka Bufiman aka Wolf Muller takes charge. The DJ/Producer brings avant garde electronic music to labels like Themes For Great Cities and Versatile. Next to that, Bufiman is one of the residents and powers behind Dusseldorf's Salon Des Amateurs. The club is one of Europe's few establishments where you can enjoy the niche of electronic music in the right fashion. No DJ-ego's and an adventurous musical program which sound just like our cup of tea. Bufiman's mix can be seen in the same light: a challenging, beautiful mix with unexpected surprises down the road.

Midland is a quiet and reserved character but one that always makes a big impact. Despite only being active for a few years, he is already someone who resides in the upper echelons of the global house and techno scene. This is evidenced by the fact that as a DJ he plays only the most revered places, and when he does so he manages to reach far and wide, calling upon many different electronic sounds without ever falling prey to modern trends. It is the same when producing on labels like Aus and his own Graded, where his records are functional but fun affairs with corrugated drums, rugged bass and physical grooves that never fail to arrest a dance floor’s attention. This mix he has served up for us is another fine example of that. 

Starting off in an abstract world of atmospheric sound and smeared chords, it’s not long before Midland establishes a groove that then grows in stature for the next hour. Atop the always physical drums are all manner of cosmic melodies, soul fuelled pads and spryly percussive patterns. Touching on house that ranges from dark and mysterious to more sun kissed and playful, this journey feels much long than it is because of how much Midland manages to so masterfully pack in.

As London based Call Super is making his Dekmantel debut this summer, we figured it made sense to ask the man for a Podcast. Call Super’s highly distinctive productions and DJ-sets articulate a sense of otherness - a hazy, amorphous aesthetic that’s largely divorced from functional ‘dancefloor’ obligations, and all the better for it. With Suzi Ecto, his debut album from 2014, he has crafted an unconventional and absorbing record and continued to refine a style of music making that defies worthwhile comparison. Just like this, his Dekmantel Podcast is an engaging adventure into different niches of electronic music supplemented with some worldy tunes.

Ina Kacz's sound is a captivating fusion of tribal grooves, hypnotic rhythms with a slight touch of trance, drawing from a wide variety of influences. The French/Polish artist, now based in Tbilisi, crafts music that always retains an emotional touch at its core. 

Her latest EP releases October 8 on @qeone.

Ina's words about her DSS: "For this mix, I wanted to explore a different side of my selection, slower tempos, progressive and trancy touches, summery moods, and plenty of vocals. I recorded it with many of the tracks I played on the Horoom floor at Bassiani, Tbilisi, last June in mind."

Helsinki raised, Paris based Jeku is know for his trippy, psy-infused rhythms, expertly crafted to compel movement and progressively elevate the senses.

With acclaimed releases on labels like Craigie Knowes, Haŵs, and Avoidance, and his most recent EP ‘Twisted Utopia’ on Harmony Records, Jeku continues to push the boundaries of contemporary electronic music.

About the mix: "This mix is heavily inspired by my recent experiences at Pe:rsona and Ozora festivals, which I attended back-to back straight from one to the other. I found a resurgence in deeper and slowly evolving sets which felt so fresh I wanted to channel that energy into this mix. Best enjoyed outdoors or afters!"

Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

vcr is a Brussels-based DJ, composer, and co-founder of GIMIC Radio, known for crafting immersive soundscapes that blur the boundaries between genres. With a sharp ear for spatial composition and an instinctive sense for rhythm, vcr weaves together techno, tribal motifs, minimal sounds, and trance into hypnotic, evolving narratives.

As a co-founder of GIMIC Radio, vcr also plays an active role in nurturing Brussels’ underground scene, creating platforms for artists and fostering a sense of community around."


“For this mix, I really enjoyed digging and finding tracks that spoke to me without setting too many boundaries in terms of genre. I wanted to let things flow naturally, to follow a feeling rather than a structure. There’s a strong presence of 90s cuts throughout — records that carry mind-trip energy, nostalgica, expensive and deep sounds, which felt right for this one.”

We are happy to share with you a live recording of Rue des Garderies.

Rue des Garderies is a shape-shifting ensemble, born on a summer night through the
collaboration of Zacharie Touati and Désiré Bonaventure, now joined by Vasco Cesaretti.
Together, they sculpt a free and sensitive sonic matter, blending psychedelic ambient, hazy dub, and DIY trance. Strings, machines, slow rhythms, and deep textures merge into a hypnotic jam-ritual.

An immersive and dreamlike experience—where you float, you dance, and time begins to sway.
