Staff Mixes

For the eight installments of our podcast series, we are happy to present Sybil. Recorded last autumn in Japan, when the leaves were gradually changing colors and a mood of melancholy set in, this mix represents, to us, a sonic manifestation of the enduring beauty of Japan's seasonal change. 

It is a mix in which Sybil, ever gently, reverbs between deep layers of dub, beautifully warped sounds, and the occasional elegant beat, took those present across a musical palette as diverse as the colors of the Japanese autumn. Nearly a year later, with the onset of another autumn cycle, we think it is now the time to release this mix. Please sit back, find a good pair of speakers, and enjoy.

Sybil - NLDMIX 008

The recording from one of my favourite sets last year ~ Transcendence Festival in Japan 🌲🇯🇵

I’ve long been drawn to the deep, organic and electrifying techno of Japan–inextricably linked to open-air gatherings deep in the forest–so it was very special to play this set in the mystical woods of Nagano’s mountains.

I played after Japanese wizard OCCA @oooccaaa, from 11.30PM-2AM ~ descending into the night and far beyond ✧.*｡⋆

Deepest thanks to @takumiinamoto1994 and @djmaria-jp for the invitation to join this gathering of likeminded musical souls, I am very grateful to have shared this experience with friends old + new 🫶

Featuring music from Alan Backdrop, Toki Fuko, Jacques Adda, Nao Nhil, Huda, A Strange Wedding, Conceptual, GiGi FM, Kangding Ray, Zemog, Noise From Beyond, Danieli, Vardae +++

Hope you enjoy this psychedelic forest trip to outer space 🌲🌌🧚🌙

DSS 105 comes from the mind of enigmatic producer, DJ and liveact Aa Sudd.

Based in Germany, he primarily explores the psychotropic and hypnotic realms of sound. Delving into irregular rhythms, immersive atmospheres and kaleidoscopic patterns. With a focus on the captivating and the otherworldly, Aa Sudd delivers enveloping sets and productions, fusing elements of techno and experimental drum and bass to create a psychedelic listening experience, spreading his sound via labels such as Midgar or Mirror Zone.

DSS 105 | Aa Sudd

"A voyage through shifting soundscapes, where sound mutates, evolves, and flows like a dream. Fragments of time, woven into an endless story, shifting between the familiar and the unexplored. A trip through textures and harmonies, where meaning dissolves and reassembles, guided by intuition. The destination is unknown, but the journey resonates long after the last note fades."

Âsan (@hassansiddiqui90) is a New York-based producer and DJ, and the co-runner of the prestigious underground label and mix series platform Cellar Doors (@cellardoorspace), alongside his friend Marek.

Author's Note:

I met Joan in the spring of 2024 when he visited New York for the Delayed Getaway in the Catskills. He’s one of those people who immediately draws you in - bubbly and lively. There’s a curiosity and energy about him, but also a certain mystery that makes you want to keep the conversation going. And that’s exactly what we did. We had long, winding discussions about all kinds of music - the kind you wouldn’t usually hear on a dance floor. It’s the kind of thing you only discover when music nerds get together. Our talks stretched from Japanese jazz to Sufi artists, and somewhere in between.
I already knew about the platform and the incredible artists who had been featured, so when Joan invited me to contribute, I was thrilled - but also a little lost. I had no idea what I wanted it to sound like. I knew I wanted to create something special (doesn’t everyone?), especially since I don’t often explore experimental or ambient mixes. That’s not to say HOC Radio is limited to that- there’s everything from drum & bass to techno, deep house, deep techno, and beyond. For six to eight months, I searched for tracks that could fit, some from my collection and others from my wishlist. I attempted the mix a few times, but it never fully clicked. The tracks were great individually, but together, something felt off. Sometimes, that just happens.
Then, a few weeks ago, a friend lent me his Sherman Filterbank and suggested I try it out, knowing I love alienating sounds. I hooked it up to my computer, ran samples, speeches, chords- anything I could find - through it, and spent weeks jamming. That experiment led to an hour-long piece that finally felt right - it became the foundation of my mix. Like a novel with a continuous backstory, this piece became my anchor, while my own music from the past two years fit in naturally as its chapters. I had finally found what I was looking for.

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda, Ankali.

This spring, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
When Marie Pravda settles into a DJ booth she’s there to spark some chemistry with those willing to embrace it. While she is perfectly capable
of generating similar energy in her recordings for the online world, it’s the endless push & pull with the physical crowd that charges her selection and mixing. Developing into an avid digger during long shifts in gloomy basements and online, the Prague-based DJ and DIY promoter took the Czech scene by storm with her savage take on a growing range of club music – be it with selections from her trippy or dance folders.
In 2020 she joined the resident collective of Ankali & Planeta Za where she runs her regular Planeta Pravda club series. Marie has contributed episodes to numerous online radios and mix series for club or non-club outlets. She recorded mixes for Knekelhuis, hereandthere, Galactic Funk, and appeared on online broadcasts of NTS, Hör, Mutant, Kiosk, Operator and many more.
In 2021-2023 she was a member of the artist roster of Gravity Network, an international initiative for club cultureexchange in Europe and beyond.

Every year, the Delayed family invites its dear friends to a weekend getaway nestled in the lush green mountains of Catskill NY. The Barn has always been a very special place and I've met some of my closest friends and collaborates here. Feel very lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of people. And since this spring we are skipping our bi annual trip(busy life) to the mountain, I could not help but share this recording. 

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed playing. 

Thank you

Hendrik & Ridoe opened our clubnight at Bodies In Space in style. Delivering a deep, soaring set that lifted the energy before dancing until sunrise. Our bodies were sent into space and our minds collectively surfed the frequencies.
