Next up in our mix series is Wave Arising aka 69db aka Sebastian Vaughan, a pioneering live electronic artist and longtime member of legendary collectives spanning all the way back to the 90s, such as Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac, Stormcore and Network 23 Recordings. Alongside dancer Kynsie, he fuses weightless techno with spiritual and ritualistic elements for the Wave Arising project, creating a new frequency of rave culture through sound and movement. With roots in dub, hip house, acid house, and Detroit techno - and as a co-creator of the hard-Tek/tribe genre—his drummer's foundation keeps his music deeply rhythm-driven, as heard in last year’s release ‘The Rooted Sky’.

In this mix, Sebastian delivers a 90-minute live set that showcases his signature improvisational approach. He experiments with shifting rhythms and layered textures, steadily evolving the energy with a sense of patience and intent. It is as hypnotic as it is groovy - shifting from minimal, polyrhythmic pulses to fuller, weightless grooves.

Ute Mix Series #103 | Wave Arising by 69db (live)

first two hours of my annual all-nighter back home.

ALL NIGHT LONG @ GALLERY1986, 2025

A collage of sounds that were recorded on the 24th of March 2025 (either performed live on location, or played on vinyl) at Ze Dos Bois association, Lisboa, during one of the last N0N PR0FIT nights.
The opening sequence is an unreleased live recording of Violeta Azevedo & Borja Caro, blended with some records I played that night. Among them: Mark - So You Betrayed The Creative Arts For Your Own Personal Ends (wrong speed), The Devil, Probably? (or is it a Hegoa? Both? Worth check both labels anyway...), and the closing song of that Shizuka tape reissue (I think its ‘III’).
