Only For Robots Mix Series

Vancouver's @djhockey brings a sense of playfulness, groove, and emotion to a realm of psychedelic, twisted techno that can often take itself too seriously. He regularly appears at Vancouver venues like Dolly and recently played at the inaugural Osmosis in the Trees festival in Oregon. In addition to DJing, he co-runs record label and mix series @pprzrecords alongside Adam 2, uplifting emerging artists from across the underground and most recently releasing his own latest EP, Celestial Pursuit.

"This mix combined parts of various gigs I was working on that fell through. The gigs had quite differing musical lineups and set times, which I combined with some tracks that had been sitting in my wishlist on Bandcamp but never seen a fit for a particular project as of yet. It quickly turned into my favourite mix I’ve created thus far, as I feel it closely represents my favourite aspects of dance music all in one.

I have been working on trying to incorporate a wider range of my style into my podcasts so that each one doesn’t get tunnel vision, while still telling a slow burning story. I’ve also been pushing myself to make each individual blend something unique. Lots of tracks work well together, but is it something special and new? These are questions I have been asking myself more lately. I like the playfulness of this mix, but it also has moments where you may question what emotion you’re feeling."

The 201st Only For Robots is now live courtesy of Munich's, Dschen. 

BIO - 
After an initial interest in Hip-Hop/Turntablism culture as a teenager, Dschen soon
became attracted by the early Atmospheric & Liquid Drum'n'Bass sound, which led to his first gigs and experiences as a club DJ. This was until around 2007. More than 15 years later the focus of his DJ sets today lies mainly on hypnotic, deep or driving Techno and organic halftime grooves, sometimes merging both styles in the same set through proper track selection and mixing techniques. Current DJ sets are regularly published in his own "Temporary Escape Podcast“ on SoundCloud and YouTube. 

In addition to his activity as a DJ, Dschen has delved deep into the world of modular synthesizers in recent years, following a long phase of experimenting with different production and composition methods. Now his tracks are created as intuitively as possible, often by recording live jams in the studio to capture a special sound aesthetic and authenticity. His debut album “One Armed Statue“ (see below) came out in early 2023 on the Mexican label,  https://soundcloud.com/secuencias_temporales, and embodies this recent artistic development. Focusing on deep, organic Downtempo Techno, halftime tracks and Ambient on the mentioned LP, his upcoming releases will also delve into faster and more driving Techno territory. Stay tuned!

So, we had a little mixup with scheduling, and pulled the original 202nd mix from BLACkMOON77, which will go live at a later date. 

I pushed up this lush, vibrant and perfectly blended mix of top shelf House cuts from Danijel. Please enjoy!

BIO thanks to https://soundcloud.com/avenue-red - 

Originally from the country's second city of Banja Luka, now based in the nearby city of Prijedor, Danijel is a key member of the Bosnian underground scene and has been collecting, producing and playing music for more than 10 years.

He has released his strongly Motor City & Windy City-influenced music on a host of fine labels such as Minuendo Recordings, Kolour Recordings, Tit Zero Recordings, Open Bar Music, Waxx Trax and Manuscript Recordings among others. Here Danijel has showcased his vibrant, deep, soulful brand of club & bar-friendly house music with a slickness, a professional touch in the name of tight flow and intricate mixing. This, we can confirm, is true house music.

3rd times a charm! :) Here is the completed version of my 90 minute ambient mix session - a compilation of music, lovingly curated and mixed to used as an immersive sound-bed, in the  emerging field of ketamine/psilocybin-based psychedelic therapies.

So, get a nice pair of headphones (a nice DAC/amp and solid pair is ideal - . something with a wire :) ), turn off your phone, find a very comfy chair and eye pillow, and take a hyperdimensional holiday in the realm of pure consciousness. With love and solidarity -- IDW
