Spawning in the heartland of Catalunya, Ru has offered up a visceral dream sequence to inaugurate our collection of fables that is Doof Spawn. Drift through Ru's careful arrangement of hazy atmospheres and broken beats as you wander from the chai tent to the bass-forward headiness of the renegade stage.

Doof Spawn 001: Ru - Journey to the Renegade Stage

Sunset, nervous NRG on the prospect of what is to come. You’ve re-energized after Ru’s dusty & dreamy soundscaping, now it’s time to surrender a little bit to some controlled chaos to launch you into the night to follow... You Beauty!

Doof Spawn 002: Job Jote - Sun going down on the Saturday

The third edition comes from NYC neighborhood guy, Andrew Devlin. The Level Party founder and resident found some time in between grill chats to cook up something special for us here at Doof Spawn. Some words from the big man himself, and a tracklist: 

"I followed one of my favorite DJs in the world, Beige, at our Glen Falls House weekend  this year. I’d had a really weird/stressful week (was convinced I had shingles) and along with probably 5 other reasons, the gig didn’t go according to plan. I was bummed, but it got me thinking about what kind of music I want to play. If I could do the gig over, what would I do? This mix is inspired by that, closing a party that’s chaotic and a little seedy but ultimately well-intentioned."

Doof Spawn 003: Andrew Devlin - The Glen Falls House do-over

Conversations at the Doof can Spawn wonderful things. 

Born from a mutual appreciation of the “Roman” way to techno, Spawn 004 from Menta Sonar is an unplanned all vinyl letter of appreciation - to a time and a place over a decade ago. 

A 4AM dream set played at the storied Brancaleone in Rome in the early 2010's. 

From Stephan (@professional_music) & Matt (@mattticehurst)

Please enjoy!

Spawning in the rolling hills of Wee Jasper, our fifth contribution comes from one of Sydney's most respected purveyours of all things deep: Jas Peters. Recorded live at Dragon Dreaming 2024, Jas has offered up 90 minutes of her signature sound — a driving pace that is textural, momentarily melodic, and packed with all the hazy grooves that dub techno can afford.

Doof Spawn 005: Jas Peters - Live at Dragon Dreaming 2024

There has been this low, oscillating drone permeating your space for what feels like hours, but you’re pretty sure it is just the aftermath of that giant floodlight at the edge of the campsite humming all night long?

Turns out that niche ambient act just finished up the morning slot, and now you’re not sure what you need next. Food? Couldn’t possibly. Definitely something liquid. Though maybe you’ll just sink into the cuddle puddle a little while longer. Hopefully whatever emanates next from the monitors will bring you slowly back to life…

Doof Spawn 007: RoadKill Ragu  - Scents of Speed and Ciggies

We like Ezio alot. In fact, everyone likes Ezio a lot - even Donato Dozzy, who chose to feature Ezio & his partner Hamish's (together they are Neotex) tune "Iridescence" within his closing set at Labyrinth Festival in 2023. Hallowed turf indeed. So, we definitely take great pleasure in featuring his first submission to the Doof Spawn. 

Here's what Ezio has to say about the mix:

"The mix is all vinyl and a blend of early and modern tech house, electro and techno .... from the fall of darkness playing into the sunrise, we are nestled deep within the forest at the intimate Terminus stage at Houghton" 

https://soundcloud.com/jamesfazzolari

Doof Spawn 008: Ezio - Live from the Terminus Stage


When it comes to pure, full throttle dance floor energy, rest assured that we can always turn to Stoke City DJ. She's a powerhouse of breaks, UKG, prog and tech house — both as a DJ and producer. For our 9th edition, let Stoke City DJ guide you to that lesser known side stage act, where new friends share a journey unplanned, unexpected and so special.

A few words from Stoke City DJ about her inspiration for mix:

It’s that act on the side stage between sets and you’re feeling directionless. You’re sucked in. Before you know it, the bass is pumping, the crowd is heaving. You’re glued to the beat, the pulsating rhythms. And, not to forget, at the end, ecstatic to have shared that rare moment with those people who were there from the beginning.

Doof Spawn 009: Stoke City DJ - Rare moments of shared energy

"I had the good fortune last year of some time off from work, in which I was incredibly lucky to experience both @sustain-release-nyc & @mindgameslaby Labyrinth festival within the same five week period. 

Both festivals offer something wholey unique, but between them there is a shared NRG between the beauty of nature, futuristic thundering techno, and a reminder of how those two fit together for some strange probably in-built ancestral reason. 

So yeah, I thought it would be a fun exercise to try and build this mix around the two tracks that stuck out the most for me from each festival. 

For Sustain Release, it was Kassian - Replicate, as played by Cousin (@moonshoerecords) on the Friday night @ The Grove, for Labyrinth it was The Saddest Music in the World, performed live by @stanislav-tolkachev on the Sunday night. 

Enjoy this somewhat heady brew, and then imagine dancing under the moonlight in some far flung place, with the moon doing mystical things behind some clouds, and the trees swaying along just having themselves a good old time."

Doof Spawn 010: Matt Ticehurst - Halfway between Monticello and Minakami

Welcome to the world of Yard Man & Fog Dog,  two up and coming, deep digging, exquisitely tasted selectors spanning from Brooklyn to Delhi in New York State. 

With careers in film direction and editing, they have an innate ability to transport you into their vision of a foggy, iridescent dream space nestled in the green wonder of upstate New York. 

Here's what they had to say about their all wax submission to Doof Spawn: 

"Three hours northwest of the city, the Rainbow Ranch is getting foggy. My legs are tired from a bear walk in the woods. Gonna sit down for a sec. Forgot how perfect grass is. The house looks different from this angle. Not a home but a structure. One day, this will all be gone. Wish I could be there. A beautiful woman with saucer eyes hangs upside down in front of me, smiling. Is this my La Croix? I don’t know. She disappears. Towering blue trees bleed into a cotton candy sky, while the frogs tell each other stories from across the still pond. Oh lord, increase my bewilderment."

Doof Spawn 011: Yard Man & Fog Dog - Enter The Rainbow Ranch

Music is important, but even more important is the community that enables moments of wonderful connection, in a beautiful place or space, with beautiful friends both old and new. Albert, based in Brooklyn, New York, is one of those heroes that never requests a spotlight, but is consistently dedicating time and care to contribute to some of the spaces and places that the NYC & Brooklyn house and techno community holds so dear. 

Throwing long standing and much loved parties like Bob & Shirley, working tirelessly behind the scenes at a festival that has garnered global critical acclaim, throwing down all night long at Mansions, or as an always welcome and smiling face on a sun lit dance floor, Albert (Ash) has been continuously refining her DJing craft, and we couldn't be more excited to share a slice of it with you for Doof Spawn 012.

A hypnotic, magnetic journey that we hope you will enjoy as much as we have. 

@bizzbuzz

Here's what Albert had to say about the mix: 

"On the second night of the festival, a usually quiet Nordic forest hums with life. A slow, steady rhythm starts the set, drawing dancers into a hypnotic flow as the misty summer air lingers and the trees sway around them. As the night deepens, the music builds—layered and psychedelic—until it reaches a peak where time blurs and everything feels slightly unreal."

Doof Spawn 012: Albert - A Nordic night in the woods

Ru's back with some squelchy low end frequencies and dubwise flavours. Nudging the BPM from 116 to 135, Ru builds tension through tempo and texture, with atmospheric intermissions as welcome relief from the bass weight pressure.

Some words from Ru:

"It's been 6 months since I moved back home to Sydney, after 3 years living in Spain and Melbourne before that. Though my time away was special and necessary, returning to my community has been equally inspiring. Many people find their place in the world away from 'home', and in some respects that's true for my experience too. But lately I've been riding my bike down Bourke Street, catching myself thinking 'damn, this place is so ridiculously dope’. It's a sensation that's often felt on the dancefloor too, knowing that this is exactly where you need to be right now. That's the energy I had when playlisting this mix — a respawning on home turf."

Doof Spawn 013: Ru - The Respawn

After hearing Billy's set at Pepperprint Music & Arts back in March, an invite to contribute his own Doof Spawn mix was imminent. In our most experimental Doof Spawn yet, Billy weaves his way through the wormhole, as a reflection of his own shift in musical perspective at Outsider Festival.

A few words from Billy Dublewicz:

This mix aims to capture the shift from morning to night, a slow psychedelic shift from ambient to movement. I first experienced this at outsider 2023. I was blown away by how different the experience was from anything I'd seen or heard before, the diverse range of artists and music moved me. I bought decks not long after that <3
