upsammy at Praia - Waking Life '24

subglow/live returns with a special recording from @beatricemasters & @bambi-dj, two of the best in the game right now. A special closing set between friends - in Bea's words:

"This mix was closing Supercamp festival’s last ever edition, from 6 to 8pm on a sunday. Therefore we thought we do a reverse journey of intensity, starting with 140 pressure taking our time to slow all the way down to 120 during the 2hours - hitting 130 with mellow dub techno cuts or classic-feel ukg, and ending with a series of (very) warm closing tracks upon closing tracks. You’ll know by now that Bambi and Beatrice M. are pretty different in their approach to DJing, which makes it all the more interesting and fun for them to find the lovely middle ground they pleasantly settle in during their b2bs. For this one, the key word is: dub. »

The Dekmantel favourite kicks off 2025 in an exploratory mood.

Since her breakout in 2017, Thessa Thorsing has built an enviable CV: a debut release on Nous'klaer Audio, an album on Dekmantel and a residency at former Amsterdam clubbing institution De School. Over these years, she's honed a singular sound, navigating wild variations in tempo and mood that dance along the edges of techno, IDM and drum & bass (we could list many more, but you know the drill).

Her creative arc has seen her delve into ever more abstract concepts, such as 2024's ambient-leaning album, Strange Meridians, exploring the interplay between synthetic and natural textures through drumless experimentations. As she explained in her 2018 RA Breaking Through profile, "I just want to hear the weirdness in the music."

Thorsing's RA Podcast showcases exactly why she's one of the most  consistently adventurous names in dance music. Describing it as "a mix with a narrative," the former landscape architecture student flexes her ability to build sonic environments, beginning in a landscape more akin to a swamp than a club.

Across 90 minutes, she moves through numerous layered terrains, exploring everything from Skee Mask's lucid, beatless techno to the piercing acid of Mike Parker. Unfolding with a restless sense of curiosity, RA.970 captures an artist challenging the boundaries of electronic music, ever upward.

An incredibly special recording from Hewan Aman @hewanaman live from pe:rsona festival last year. 

From Hewan:
"The set is all playful, dubby, tecky, with some psy vibes and also a bit of deep and introspective bits. I played on a hot, sweaty afternoon during day 2—just as the sun was starting to cool down and the music heads that made up this special crowd were starting to get in all their feels. LOIF took over after me with his live set, carrying us into the darker hours of the night with his sexy psy vibes. It was such a magical moment, and I’m so glad to have it captured in this recording!"

Milan-based Piezo (@piezopz) sits at the heart of the current club sounds. He has long had an obsession with sound system music and that defines what he does today: mutant and beguiling club tracks with meticulous sound design and thrilling energy, heavy low ends and a real dose of UK influence from d&b to garage, grime and techno. He kicked off the year by dropping his genre-busting Ecstatic Nostalgia EP on our Dekmantel-UFO sub-label and now returns with a podcast that is just as fresh.

It's a futuristic mix of bleeping machines and lurching rhythms with bright synth designs and deep space ambience. Over the course of 90 minutes, the pace picks up and you're whisked along a variety of rhythms from broken to dubby, head spinning to minimal. It feels utterly spontaneous but is also a fully coherent mix from this restless innovator.

Another lovely memoir of friendship here with the ever talented Swiss artist phrex, who works under various aliases, including @seduction-dream-dust, with Animix #174. Juj is a beautiful person inside and out and his musical outputs are a reflection of his multifaceted character - often referencing his middle eastern heritage. In his animix, a wild dnb speed journey, filled with adventure and emotion, awaits.

Beyond political and social nods, phrex has an inredible ability to merge genres and styles in a way that remains seemingly fresh and unique - which, in 2025,  is harder and harder to come by. We originally met at random, as I strolled past a stage whilst he was playing an ambient set at Waking Life in 2022. The self-made remix of "Alone" by Olive he was playing drew me in and led me to ask for an ID. in return, he gifted me a cassette of the song. A beautiful memory of music exchange and friendship, and i'm really happy to finally have him in the series.

Lots of love - thank you Juj!

Superstition Records proudly releases Nineties Reloaded – Superstition Classics Reimagined, an authoritative anthology of the legendary 1990s catalogue of the label, updated for contemporary floors and ears. 

Here, in a 20-track anthology, era-defining trance, techno and progressive tracks are revisited with a carefully curated set of remixes by some of the genre’s most iconic names, spanning the pioneering era of European club culture and the future direction of contemporary electronic music.

At its very centre are two solo standouts:
L.S.G.: “Netherworld (BLR X Hel:sløwed Remix)” – A peak-time anthem for 2025, combining BLR’s dark, propulsive production and Hel:sløwed’s euphoric progressive subtlety to re-envision one of trance’s most enduring classics.

Energy 52: “Café Del Mar (Oliver Lieb Extended 2 Remix)” – A decades-long secret reworking by none other than Oliver Lieb himself, emerging from the vault for the first time and presenting an atmospheric but forceful new take on one of electronic’s greatest ever songs.

These are followed by remixes from Humate, Der Dritte Raum, Trancesetters, Sterac, Rabbit In The Moon, Radio Slave, DJ T., Jamie Anderson, John Tejada, Goldfinger, Force Mass Motion, and Bedrock, used on Superstition’s impressive roster: Quazar, The Moon & The Sun, Jens, Marmion, Mijk van Dijk, Phax feat. Steve Bug, Velocity, Paragliders, and many more. Each track stands as a testament to the visionary sound of the label, be they in spacey progressive excursions, stripped-back techno reworks, or deep ambient reinterpretations.
