Joel Mull joins for DifferentSound Podcast #240.

JOEL MULL / PARABEL, DRUMCODE
Joel Mull's career spans over three decades. With a background studying classical music, singing in choirs and playing in bands, Joel found electronic music at a young age as a source of freedom. His frst experience came from DJ’ing in the chill-out areas of rave parties in his native Stockholm during the early 90’s. With his roots from Germany, Hamburg, he moved to the city in 1994, and worked as a resident DJ for 3 years at one of the biggest techno clubs in Germany, Unit Club. This was an important period for him and as a DJ; It learned him how to control the energy of the night on the dance foor, from warm up sets to 10h marathon sets. With releases on music labels worldwide along with Cari Lekebusch, Robert Leiner, Adam Beyer and Jesper Dahlbäck he counts to the frst wave of Swedish techno producer who became known around the world as the "Swedish techno sound". He has produced over 100 releases and under various names such as Icarus, Gotzkowsky and most recent under his alias Damm. He often refers to himself and his craft as a sound architect, and if you’ve ever experienced his club sets, you’ll understand why. Under his ambient and electronica alias Damm, Joel revives one of his earliest aliases and expands upon this discipline even further.

DifferentSound invites Joel Mull / Podcast #240

Kålï is a neurodiverse & highly sensitive Cologne-based DJ whose connection to music runs long and deep — from the mixtape era and early band roots to more than a decade spent on dancefloors enjoying music and energy through movement and feeling. What began as a lifelong devotion to listening and countless hours of digging and collecting evolved into a craft she finally stepped into in 2024, guided purely by instinct and emotional resonance. In 2025, she became one of five winners of the BCCO x SoundCloud New Faces (Season 4) — a global programme spotlighting emerging talent in collaboration with Tresor Berlin, BCCO, and SoundCloud — leading to her club debut in August with the opening set at Tresor. For her, it's not primarily the genre she plays that counts, but rather the feeling that music evokes in her body, heart & soul.

Independent record label from Tbilisi, since 2017.

It's always about the mixing in life. In the few semesters of chemistry I studied, I already learned how to mix molecules and substances. But not only in chemistry it is important to mix different things to get harder, stronger or other variants. Also with us humans it is important to mix, to meet each other and to let something completely different and new emerge. 
We mix different kinds of vegetables and spices to get highly delicate food. We mix different materials to get designer clothes. We mix fruits for smoothies. We mix raw materials to obtain the most advanced technology. We mix colors for the greatest works of art in the world. And we mix different frequencies to create the best music in the world. 
Only by mixing can we create diversity and individuality. Only when we break down the borders between black and white and move in the grey zone it becomes exciting. Only by mixing can we achieve things that have never been there before.
