As 2025 unfolds and we move towards our first show of the year with Ignez, joined by our good friends Undisclosed (@undisclosedaus) and New School (@newschool.aus), we also mark the return of HYPNO Sounds, with a special collab edition. 

For this episode, we present a mix that perfectly embodies the spirit of the event — an immersive soundtrack rich with depth, tension, and flow.

Crafted by a boundary-pushing Australian artist, the mix explores the raw textures of hypnotic techno while carrying a sense of grace throughout. With nods to the mid-2010s of techno (a forgotten goldmine of hypnotic techno), this mix flings you into orbit with an impeccable assortment of 1AM hazy dance-floor, heads-down goodness (you know what I mean...) 

About the artist: 

Their devotion to a particular sound and approach has driven their ability to grow rapidly since entering the scene just a few years ago, and it is this obsession that will continue to allow them to blossom. They're an artist to watch by all accounts, and whether it’s DJing or producing, they will always be emerging as an essential feature of Australia.

Enjoy the mix

HYPNO SOUNDS — Collab Edition

From Europe’s southern tip in the Gibraltar-facing port city of Algeciras comes ORBE, the Spanish techno enthusiast whose potent beats have hammered out a pedigree path both as DJ and producer. Prevailing winds carried Fernando Sanz first to Seville to study sound engineering, later to Madrid where the fertile scene allowed him to build a community of music-minded friends that have put that city squarely on the map. Under these conditions, his work (what he terms a means of ‘contacting the future, the avant-garde’) has developed into something much deeper and more sophisticated. His love of artists like Brian Eno and Boards of Canada, and roots in breakbeat and drum and bass have informed a style that’s allowed him to take up the mantle as one of Spain’s most interesting talents. Under his self-titled record label (est. 2014) come his signature killer tunes, and in his work with names like Eduardo de la Calle and labels like Token, Hivern Discs, Axis and Mote Evolver a pole position at the forefront of modern techno. Fresh off his set on the Bassiani floor (14th March) comes this next Bassiani mix. Tensile rhythms that lurch ahead with supernatural power, an involute web of intelligent sounds that attest to his skill as selector. Bassiani Podcast 254 is an hour-long mash up of elfin beats, a vibrating hymn to the sounds of tomorrow, Orbe at the top of his game.
