Techno honcho and owner of Taipei's Species Records brings the heat in this exclusive mix. Influenced by Detroit's raw sound, A-Dao has been actively involved in Taiwan's underground music scene having played alongside the likes of Sven Väth, Levon Vincent and Detroit's finest DJ Bone. So without further ado, hit play and enjoy the next 52 minutes with Taiwan's main man.

MIX006 // A-Dao

After developing respectable solo careers as DJs and producers, long-time friends Willem Claesen and Niels Feytons officially banded together as Way Back. Having racked up releases on Blood Music, Bmkltsch Rcrds & Taub Recordings, they have featured on the likes of Studio Brussel, Rinse FM, Mouv', triple j and Red Bull Elektropedia. Their aim is to reconcile a new school sound with some genuine oldskool heart. Imagine classic vibes from the past - warm house chords, wet synth licks, and jacking drums - laced with a thick but restrained low-end. All of it encased in a shell of pure 21st century production.

For the next hour we let Krajnov take us on a journey of deep, dreamy sounds. The Moscow-based DJ and producer has already been behind the decks at Moscow's Loft Bar and Podval nightclubs, and his fine selection of tracks are exactly the reason why we asked for a feature on our mix series.

Listen and enjoy.
