LOIF works at the vanguard of the new Naarm/Melbourne sound. Through meticulously detailed production, raucous DJing, and boundary-pushing live sets, LOIF dissolves genre boundaries to spawn a shapeshifting sonic organism that is entirely his own.

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.

After a brief hiatus, we're back with episode 38 of our mix series from Nantes based DJ and Macadam's Artistic Programmer Aasana. A beautifully organic 2 hour mix exploring an unconscious inner power, traversing ambient, breaks, techno and DnB.

For several months now, I have been taking the time to explore Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run with the Wolves. She specifically discusses the notion of Rio Abajo Rio, the River beneath the river, which echoes the depths of the unconscious and the instinctive wisdom that flows within us, even when we are unaware of it. She uses this metaphor to illustrate the primal life force and feminine intuition that exist beneath the surface of our daily lives.
This underground river symbolizes natural instincts, ancestral knowledge, and creativity that continue to flow within us, even when they are sometimes stifled by social or personal pressures. A book that is both inspiring and unsettling, as it deeply resonates with my life’s quest today.

This set is a search for reconnection with Rio Abajo Rio, a journey toward my purest and deepest essence—my inner power—in order to reclaim my intuitive nature.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, this set is woven with Ambient, Techno, Breaks, Abstract, and D’n’B sounds, all tied together by a percussive and organic universe.

"I have been immersed in music since I was a child. My parents were involved in the Hard Rock scene. On my mother’s side, part of my family is from Brittany, so Breton music also played a big role in my childhood.

When I was old enough to go out, I dived into so many different scenes—Tribe, Hardcore, and Trance through Raves and Free Parties, Techno to House, Dubstep to D’n’B through clubs and festivals, Dub, Experimental Music, Noise, Ambient, Punk through alternative spaces and squats. This opened countless doors for me, leading to interconnected musical worlds.

Later, my job at Macadam also broadened my musical perspective, thanks to its artistic direction. That's why I generally need to move between different musical styles. My musical approach is entirely based on my feelings, emotions, moods, and, of course, the connection with the crowd when I play.

This is also why I love b2b sets—they push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to discover even more.

Do Not Duplicate

Crabe

life suck

Turn your leftover trash into artwork
Lay your mattress on the beloved garbage heap
Your mind ain't your friend anymore
It scrounges around to find the last crumb
Your mind ain't your friend anymore
It dances like the girl who likes to be called a whore

She is the snake slithering in my memory
Shedding her skin to show me her so-called goods
If they were for sale, I'd burn down the shop
Eat the ashes in one big bite
Piss on the front door that turned to rust
I don't know why I'm acting so vile

Well, isn't it fun to be a nuisance?
Everyone that gets in line doesn't get what they want
Friendship, tight hugs, handshakes
Everyone in line doesn't get what they want
I'll give them vomit inducing dance moves
They'll want to gauge out their eyes
My dancing to them looks like a crime

My mind ain't my friend anymore
Insisting me to have one more
Keep going and going and going
Let it ride, don't disturb the vibe
Keep going and going and keep on

I, the camgirl with the smug face
Will reclaim the throne on your TV screen
Ready or not
Here we cum

Turn your leftover trash into artwork
Build your home in the town dump
If it feels wrong to you
That really means it's right
And it's been right all along
But I always thought it was wrong

So I'll listen to him
Or maybe it's her
But I'll listen to them
Give me memories to burn
You'll get rubbish in return

Because I'm vile
I'm a nuisance
A flat-footed fuck face fiend
With bait in my eyes
The green that you've seen
Ain't that a dream?
Isn't that your dream?

I don't know why I'm acting so vile
This feels like pissing upstream
Now is when the salmon bites back
And nobody will know what that means
Not even me

Keep going and going and going
Mother, may I keep on?
Am I allowed to follow through on this mania?
Let me pretend I'm manic
I just want to have some fun
Don't use your little words as your gun
I just want to have a good time
Your happiness is my landmine

Shun me
Metaphorically
Even literally
Oblige me
Do it criminally

I, the camgirl with the long legs
Promise to stomp out my sexual tendencies
I'll wrap your gift in rotten eggs
Get in line for daddy to do your measuring

All in all
I need to get laid
That's all I have to say
But I could continue on
I have the nonsense flow

Keep going and going and going
Keep on and on and on

This is the show the girls came to see
But I'm the man onstage being obscene

I'm not sure how to say this politely
But I'll fucking try anyway

The girls that I've seen
Who want nothing to do with me
I'll have them taste my cum and lick me clean

Pick me
Let's fuck us up
Make a mess on the marble
It goes without saying
You'll eat this up and fucking garggle
Aren't you the girl that likes to be called a whore?
Then allow me to shoot a load
Just one more

I know why I'm acting so vile
The drugs in hand turned up the dial
You threw me for a loop all the while
Grammatically incorrect or maybe it's right
Never will I ever figure that out

I know why I'm acting so vile
Though it may seem that I don't care
I'm fucking loving this meaningless charade

Permission to have my one man parade?

Keep going and going and going
Until you drop

Until I drop
I dropped

This is the leftover trash I turned into artwork
I dropped

Pick me
Let's fuck us up
Until we drop

Drop
