Veering away from the live recordings format, our friend Gōdō delivers the next instalment of our mix series with a trance-infused studio mix. 

The Italian DJ has an affection for electro and more hypnotic rhythms which are on show in his Rio mix, which finds him in an ethereal and dreamy headspace. 

A proper miniature trip, it’s a mix you’ll want to keep coming back to.

Another OG in our series, this time it’s fellow Dutchman Daan Donk! He has been an integral part of Amsterdam’s underground culture for years, not only as head of Likeminded and Tale of Bus (Garage), but especially as DJ. We first met him digging through record stores when hardly anyone was paying attention to old records, and since than he has dedicated his life to vinyl. Daan and his projects have definitely shaped the city’s sound; so hats off to him. We are happy to share a live recording from Daan from a moody Crevette Records night in Fuse (Brussels). So keep yourself grooving and give this boy a spin!

Today we launch a mix series that has been in our heads for many years. What a better way to do so than with a friend who holds a special place in our hearts : International Mac.

Mac is a rare kind of DJ whose style never stopped to evolve and to explore, while always remaining true to himself. He is a touching, sensitive, generous, quirky soul who always pours his personality, his intelligence and his feelings into the music. Our existences are bound up to his, being at the core of a group of friends who welcomed us both in Berlin at pivotal moments of our lives. Since then, these people and this city have continually inspired us, helping us to find ourselves and thus, contributed to the very essence of tunnel.

The story behind this mix also has a full-circle feeling to it, as it came together in the most natural way, encapsulating a moment in time that holds significance for all of us. It was recorded spontaneously, in one take, last week-end in the infamous shared flat of Krausnickstraße. This happened after a session in which Mac played alone all day, while a few friends were sharing a nice time. His record bag was full of new finds from a recent dig in London as well as old re-discoveries from his own collection. His head and heart were charged with the emotions, the memories and the sonic impressions of his recent experiences, after a tumultuous year full of changes and personal growth. At the end of the day, when everybody left the room, we decided to start recording, feeling that something was about to happen…

Occasionally, Mac wears his signature purple velvet trousers and reveals the weirdo wizard facet of his personality. Here, Purple Mac is taking us on a journey : hypnotic, mysterious, emotional, slightly epic but also sometimes stuck in this stationary state of hypnosis. There is also a sense of madness and absurd that emanates throughout the trip. The atmosphere is sometimes contemplative, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes cheeky, others crazy, all of those moments balanced with a feeling of flow that translates a certain state of maturity…

From the timing in Mac’s personal life, to the moment in our friendships, and to the music selection itself, there is a mystical sense of evidence that runs behind this mix, which is probably what makes it such a special one for us.

Thanks to Mac for sharing a piece of himself in the shape of this hypnotic tunnel. We’re already obsessed by it and we hope you will be too!
