Animix One Hundred & Fifty Eight: Hewan Aman

Words by Ceci (@ccl-url): 

"Special thanks to Steevio & Suzybee & all the volunteers, workers & dancers 💙

This is my recording from Friday night Room 2, 12:30-2am, my first time being at the mythical Free Rotation. Playing one of the first sets & seeing the room, decor and the big bad subs of Room 2, years of fantastical lore and reality melded, I wanted to keep it sexy, wonky, trippy— imagining a psychic electric swamp and how one would levitate thru it... to the sky. No bpm trickery this time. Out to the heavenly bodies of the universe! ;)

livwutang - BFC ADE 2024: Trouble² at Tilla Tec

@sunjuhargun is based in Thailand and has been bringing all new energy to the Asian scene for more than 20 years. He has Indian heritage and Japanese roots which inform his mystic sound and the music he releases via the the label he co-founded, Siamese Twins Records. As he proved when he played our festival back in summer, he transcends musical and cultural borders to bring everything from, warm and percussive tribal grooves to more psychedelic sounds, acid textures and mind altering techno.

Sunju explains his approach to this week's mix. "I wanted to capture a special memory using records picked up during my trips between Amsterdam and Japan over the past few years. The result is a selection that blends the past, present, and future. As with every mix, I approach things naturally, with spontaneity. Live recordings have a unique energy that you can only feel in person, but sometimes that feeling can get lost when making a mix at home. This here is 60 mins of a raw, spontaneous reflection of friends in my living room, just hitting record and going for it. No filter, no perfection—just creativity with a limited selection.”

@polygonia shares a mind-melting and expansive mix accompaniment to her new album 'Dream Horizons' on @dkmntl, on which she flexes full creative freedom.

"A reflection of shifting dreamscapes, this mix traces the arc of 'Dream Horizons', my new album on Dekmantel. It mirrors the album’s wide stylistic and tempo range — traversing pulses, textures, and energies, swelling into a feverish rush before breaking apart and exhaling into a halftime echo. Genres dissolve and reemerge not as contrasts, but as fragments of a shared vision."

The Cover Mix: Polygonia

Since 2012, Caldera (@caldera-caldera) has crafted a distinct fusion of techno and bass, known for its immersive sound design.

His rhythmic experimentation offers a fresh perspective on dance music, exploring a wide range of BPMs along the way.

His music has been released on respected labels like Nummer Music, Kimochi Sound, Pressure Dome, and Well Street Records.

About the mix:
“I wanted to start the mix slightly faster and with more energy than I usually do. I already had the Aleksi Perälä song in my head as an intro for a set so I went for it and built the mix from there. While doing the tracklisting the mix slowly dissolved into the emotional ambient ending which happened very naturally and felt right.”

Universal and electric, flowing with liquid and environmental sounds. Latin rhythms collide with broken fragments, building a crescendo of sensuality and velocity. Intriguing vocals ride over rolling grooves, acid tones, and techno kicks, creating irresistible bursts of energy.

Kia’s meditative cosmic aura meets Bitter Babe’s rhythmic fire in a tribal, sassy mix that moves, pulses, and evolves. Layered textures, ancestral grooves, and veteran bass carry the set through ravishing hours of sound.
