Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

Dubwise atmospherics flood Guy Brewer's third RA Mix.

Hear the word "Dionysus" and you picture the Greek god of ecstasy: overflowing tables, delirious revelry, chaos. Not the austere soundworld of Guy Brewer, AKA Carrier. On the surface, the UK artist's latest alias feels almost Spartan. But look closer and the Dionysian link starts to show:  it's about shedding fixed forms and identities, to allow something more true, more alive, to form. 

RA.1011 marks Brewer's third entry in the RA Mix series, following editions as drum & bass outfit Commix (RA.269) and, later, the techno alias Shifted (RA.310). "I guess it's an effort to step away from purism," Brewer told <i>Resident Advisor</i> back in 2023. "Right now the thresholds between genres are where you find the most exciting music." 

Carrier's phenomenal debut album, <i>Rhythm Immortal</i>, delivers on that promise. Low-end pressure cloaks like foreboding shadows, punctured only by eerie, otherworldly percussion comparable only to Photek or T++. Listen to the LP in full and it feels like walking through a scene in a true-crime drama: a fog-drenched city street in the deep of night, ambushed by gusts of wind, whispers and strange noises—and it sounds totally, utterly original.

Tracing a line through dub pressure, fractured percussion and narcotic ambience, Brewer explores that same world on RA.1011. As with the album, there's a primal pulse that threads through the recording. Walls of negative space seem to hover before dissolving inexplicably, their tension intact; drums move more like the weather than rhythm. - Bella Aquilina

NoName Community is a Liège-rooted collective born from a belief that "a community has no name." Since around 2010, they've been shaping intimate gatherings that blur the lines between art, body, sound, and soul—ceremonies held in rhythm with nature’s pulse. Through their long-running La Nature Festival and evolving Hors-Piste Festival, they’ve cultivated a quiet power: subtle rituals of sound and space, where the familiar dissolves, and new connections emerge in hushed resonance. Their residency invites listeners into these shifting realms—a place where texture matters more than label, enfolding breath, silence, and shared presence into every beat.

I would like to thank Emika for inviting me onto her beautiful platform. And to take a moment to share a few words about this mix, which marks a special moment for me. It’s been years since I last created a full-scale, serious production mix, so I took this opportunity to showcase some unheard tracks and exciting new forthcoming releases.
The last two tunes in the mix are particularly special. John (Heavenly Bodies) and I thought our “Ourá” project was complete with our album. However, I recently rediscovered some forgotten demos, and together we decided to revisit and build upon the new sound we had developed—this is reflected in track 16.
To close the mix, we present an emotional magnum opus: a remix of “Heavenly Bodies - Prima Materia”, which we expect to release sometime in 2026.

Human Lessons #118 - Foreseer

Some collaborations feel orchestrated. This one felt inevitable. Reeko and Mostra share a certain DNA - innovative, uncompromising, with an appetite for risk. One’s a festival, the other a force of nature, but both operate outside the usual margins. So when Reeko stepped into the cavernous Pavelló Olímpic on the final day of Mostra 2025, the match didn’t need explaining. After three days of sonic overstimulation, the crowd could’ve easily slipped into post-peak autopilot. Instead, something sparked.

Reeko played with the confidence of someone who doesn’t need to raise his voice to be heard. He didn’t grab attention, instead he tuned the room to his frequency. No spectacle, just sustained pressure. The kind that doesn’t shout, but hums somewhere in your bones. From the first mix, he had total control, not just over tempo, but over tension, perception, direction. It wasn’t peak-time euphoria. It was something colder, sharper, more elemental.

What happened on that floor wasn’t mystical, and it wasn’t romantic. It was human circuitry, bodies moving like they’d been rewired. A dance floor fully switched on. In a festival stacked with standout sets, this one kept floating to the surface in post-Mostra conversations. We’re proud to share this recording. It was special. Now it’s permanent.

Have I been to Amara? Like anyone who has, I’ve no way of knowing for sure. 

I am told she is wrapped in a blue-grey fog that extends like an aura for miles in all directions. As certain kinds of fog have a way of doing, it only makes itself known to you when you are already well within its grasp. At best, the traveller may remember entering and exiting the hazy periphery of this city, but whatever comes to pass within is impossible to recall, and one can only recognize signs in the traces it leaves behind in the mind and body. This may be as subtle as a change in the way you speak, as disquieting as an unaccountable bruise or scrape on the skin, or as drastic as a sudden change in the length of your hair. 

Recently, lovers have told me that my way in bed has somehow changed, that the color of my eyes has grown cooler and softer. Flavors that I once detested are now among my most cherished. Certain objects or images — a marble figurine, a drop of blood hanging from a small cut on my finger, a glass bowl shot through with broken sunlight — have stirred up in me the faintest and most curious ecstasy. It is as though, by some association conjured in these moments, I behold not a memory in itself but the effects it has on everything around it, the lines of sentiment that ripple across the waters of my mind from the invisible impression of an unknown stone.

A city will change you, slowly in time, in ways you may not notice as they set in. But what if the city that changes you is not so much a place as a strange and beautiful void, one that quietly haunts the heart, and from which no memory can escape?

My recent set from @thelotradio, for this one I wanted to go for the sort of meandering mix I like to tune into on the radio, a warm + mellow daytime vibe to pop on whilst pottering about in the kitchen ☕️

I enjoyed this chance to unearth some tracks buried deep in the USB that I haven’t played in years ~ silky dub techno, deep house, slinky minimal, downtempo trance, floaty halftime etc ~ hope you enjoy ☺️🌿🍄🤍✨

The Lot Radio ~ 11.11.25

"Je me souviens du moment où j’ai envoyé le premier morceau là, au cœur du champ monumental de Teillé. La chaleur tombait sur nous comme un drap de feu, et le soleil, lui, s’amusait à percer les feuilles des arbres pour venir s’éparpiller en éclats dorés sur la poussière. À chaque pas des danseurs, cette poussière s’élevait en voile léger, comme si le sol lui-même respirait avec nous.
Devant moi, le public,  des visages ouverts, des yeux qui semblaient écouter autant que les oreilles, des corps suspendus aux moindres nuances des morceaux que je passais. 
Le son roulait entre les troncs, se tordait dans la lumière, et je me sentais porté par quelque chose de plus vaste que la musique. Au festival Loire’zonde, ce jour-là, j’ai eu le sentiment rare d’être exactement à ma place — un simple passeur de vibrations, sous un soleil qui brillait assez fort pour graver chaque seconde dans la mémoire." - Oreste

Further Inward with LIniae

Tracing a path through low end tension and flickering textures, Liniae delivers a narrative suspended between clarity and distortion. A mix where gravity bends and rhythms liquefy. Quietly hypnotic, pleasantly disorienting. A story carved in low-end pulses, subtle tonal shifts  and steady, driving rhythms. Elusive, but unmistakably alive.

I met Louis at the mighty OHM in Berlin, where he worked as night manager. I hold much respect for people who hold these roles, they’re the backbone of the music scene, even if they rarely get the spotlight. Later, I discovered his music, and it genuinely caught me off guard in the best way. I’m really happy to have him on the Further Inward mix series. His mix hits exactly what I look for in music: focused, thoughtful, and with a strong sense of direction. I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better contribution.
