@arkadiusz-dmytrow mix comes with an enchanting entrance. Mystical and dreamy and a good amount of cool artistry mixed together. 

It feels like driving a fluffy bike through winter scenarios passing empty streets and flickering lights jumping between skylines. Deep and driven on one hand. Psychedelic and etheric on the other other. A lovely conjunction between two sides of the same coin. Certain tracks have been especially modified and slowed down for this mix to give the experience a more profound touch.

Arkadiusz, the founder of @afterhour-sounds, manages to lure you into a journey made of slow dreams and gentle visions. Steering the wheel slowly into a mixture of breakbeat and uplifting sounds to land the spaceship where it belongs: between your cheeks as a warm and cozy smile in cold winter days. Something happened. What it is might stay a mystery but you will remember it within your body. It's music embodied through soul.

About this mix:
Feels like a wrong turn brought you here, but now you staying to follow the journey. Sense of uncertainty — like waking up far from the familiar, not quite sure where you are or what’s coming next. Then the pace picks up and you find yourself in a dark, slightly rebellious mood — like a wild night on the edge of something. Toward the end, there’s a sense of soft release, a quiet that doesn’t scare but soothes. It’s a sonic ritual I’ve gone through myself — and now I’m inviting you in.

About Cotu
COTU was born and raised in the Far East of Russia, but always felt like a Citizen of the Universe. Guided by a deep curiosity and hunger for adventure, he set out on a journey that took him to Thailand—where everything changed.

It was New Year’s Eve 2016 at the SIMIRAM Festival on Koh Phangan, his very first electronic music festival. The dancefloor was a wooden platform suspended above the sea, facing a giant rock where vivid visual projections lit up the night. As the first sunrise of the year began to rise behind the horizon, a magical scene unfolded—beautiful women performed a fire show atop the rock, while a violinist linked up with the DJ, weaving haunting melodies into the beat. In that moment, surrounded by rhythm, light, and connection, COTU felt the true spirit of unity and freedom that lives on the dancefloor. That morning changed everything.

His journey brought him to the United States. It was there, during a difficult chapter of life, that he began DJing—not for fame, but as a form of therapy. The music helped him heal, and now, through every mix he creates, COTU tells a story. Each set is a journey—through emotional landscapes, introspective moods, and moments of ecstatic release.

Since then, he's played coast to coast—from underground warehouse raves in LA and iconic Clinic Wednesdays, to Minimal Effort at the Globe Theater, California's Deseract gatherings, festivals in the Mojave Desert, Bombay Beach,  and the legendary Burning Man Playa (House of Love, Luna Art Crane). He’s even brought his deep, storytelling sets to Do Not Sit On The Furniture, the beloved Florida-born event series.

Octo Friends #70 - ykkka

Ist es bloß Zufall, dass diese Frucht klingt, wie ein Instrument? 🎻 Wenn man sich diesen Mix von @nadara-baerg zu Gemüte führt scheint das fast ausgeschlossen. Auf ihrem sorgfältig geknüpftem Soundteppich nehmen uns die beiden mit auf eine magische Reise - von tiefsten Tiefen in luftig verträumte Höhen lassen wir uns tragen und lauschen dabei dem süßen Klang ihrer Graviola.

Recording of my set @ Louvain Burn.

A tribute to the sound of Progressive House in the 90's!

Louvain Burn - August 2025

I had the great privilege and joy to be invited by Maaje @maaje_music and Kandilari @kandilari to open the dancefloor at Château Perché on what surely is one of the most gorgeous stage I ever seen!
No kidding... it was simply mesmerizing.
The Mirador de l'Amor was meticulously and flawlessly crafted by Rêve Général @revegeneralcollectif and Anwesend, and I couldn't be more honored to play on such a stage, that can rightfully be called a piece of art.
So THANKS to everyone from the crews for this opportunity and CONGRATS for the amazing work!
It was such a blast!

Hope you'll enjoy the music!
Love & good vibes
