Our next Techno Minder Hero, is an Utrecht-based DJ. With a sound rooted in ambient, breakbeat, and dreamy 4×4 rhythms, this Hero brings depth to the dancefloor.

In this episode, we dive into his creative mindset and highlight his recent mix for Drone:

“For my mix for Drone, I dove into downtempo and electro/breakbeat. The mix begins with a dreamy 82 BPM intro, gradually transferring to electro-infused transitions before arriving at the more familiar techno pulse. Though the tempo remains modest, the energy steadily rises, keeping things engaging by alternating pumping techno with broken beats and new rhythms.
The final tracks hold deep personal meaning for me; they are very high in emotion. To finish the mix, a beautiful piano composition.
This mix tells a story and I couldn’t be more proud of it. Cheers!”

Tune in for an episode full of introspection, atmosphere, and boundary-pushing beats.

He|Him

Marvin Hoyer aka Vanta based in Leipzig, is an artist who navigates the space between raw intensity and hypnotic sound design. Originally rooted in metalcore and hardcore, he has always been drawn to the realms of electronic and experimental music. Exploring the unknown through impulsive rhythms, dissociative sounds, and dark, immersive atmospheres, his goal is to captivate listeners with his productions, DJ sets, and live performances.

Since 2019, Vanta has been shaping his distinct sound within both the local and international scene, releasing on labels such as Charybdis, Further Sessions, KVLTÖ Records, and Deflection Music, among others. His productions reflect a deep fascination with raw energy, hypnotic structures, and sonic contrasts—merging intensity with precision.

In late 2024, he became an official member of Munich-based IO Records, finding not only a creative home but also a like-minded community. In 2025, he joined Leipzig's aequalis crew, known for its influential event series that once defined the sound of the late Institut für Zukunft and now continues to evolve beyond its former home.

With a vision that bridges genres and defies conventions, Vanta remains committed to pushing sonic boundaries—always seeking the next unexplored space in sound.

Hailing from Utrecht, Netherlands, Oefenmeesters, which translates to "Practice Masters," is an electronic music platform with a compelling mission. Founded by friends and DJ/producers Bart Gresnigt (Creznight) and Teun Uijtdewilligen (Æcium) initially, Oefenmeesters is now skillfully navigated by @Creznight.

The set the mood series is a concept-based weekly series about the craft of an opening-set, curated by @Sklasi

The platform serves as a nurturing ground for emerging and exceptionally talented DJs and producers who may not yet have an extensive network. Oefenmeesters seeks to amplify their presence and craft, effectively turning them into the headlining artists of tomorrow.
