A lot of dope things happened that night.  This was the height of the DJ being pushed to the for front of Hip Hop.  This was actually recorded at KPFK I believe but we performed it at the Variety Arts Cents show.  That night the Beat Junkies, Xecutioners, DJ Yoshi and many more blazed the tables.

Mark Slee - The Woods: Winter Wander [December 2023]

I’m super happy to share this special recording with you guys from what was not only my first time playing stereo, but was one of the most treasured musical moments of my journey so far. 

Being invited by one of my best mates to bring in the new year together in this temple of music and dance was something I’ll never forget. The energy in the room that night was so special. We were surrounded by many of our best friends, some family and the most dedicated Montreal music community as well as some friends and dancers who had travelled from the US and other parts of Canada to be there with us. 

I opened things up before Mik (Kora) took over for another 4 hours or so and then we finished things b2b for another 4 hours. 

After countless nights/days at our studio playing together with a small group of close friends, it was something we had dreamt of doing at Stereo and somehow even though the club was sold out, it still felt like an extension of those intimate experiences. Where it feels like connecting authentically to the music and to each other is not just a celebration or a party, but collective therapy. United energy, everyone channeling their joy and their pain, their love and their gratitude through the music. There are few places where this still feels possible and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play there and do it alongside someone that has become like family to me.

I hope you enjoy it and cary a glimpse of that energy with you 🙏🏼

Love or Fear? 
  
This was the answer to the painful question "what is this all about?" 

It took many years of wondering and wandering to arrive at this conclusion. It does seem, says our DJ, that life is a series of moments, each asking us, will we be-come from Love or Fear? 

Looking around this life and place and time, it also does seem that much of everything wants to nudge us towards fear. This is strange, considering there is so much within us that wants to Love, naturally and effortlessly. 

He continued to wonder, "how is this so?"

"Information" was the answer. Information can move us towards either direction.

Stories... information packaged in highly palatable forms, are a powerful format for delivering movement towards Love or Fear.

Having finally arrived at these hard-won conclusions, our DJ Miguel Benveniste and his alter-ego, Michael Gurevich, set out on a lifetime quest to assist people in loving themselves enough to allow themselves to express their Selves freely. I Love Your Stories was born. ILYS, like eye-less, is for clearing our inner-channels so that Love can flow through, straight from The Source itself. It began with writing, and now continues into other expressive realms. 

The Source of Love remains One. The expressions of it... so very, very many.

This, above all else, is what DJ Miguel Benveniste wishes for you with this very special musical story created exclusively, and with great Love, for Schirmchendrink.

Amaretto Milk, this silky, sweet embrace, blissfully marries the subtle almond nuttiness of Amaretto with the velvety texture of chilled milk. A smooth, dreamy experience, perfect for the here and the now, sets your palate and soul dancing with joy, and craving for more.

May your days here be beautiful, especially when the world does not agree.

Remember who you Am. 

Cheers!
The bartenders

Amaretto Milk | Miguel Benveniste

A moment etched in our memories forever. The energy was otherworldly, with the horizon illuminated, we all experienced an incredible bond between the music, the dust, and each other. It was pure bliss. Like heaven on earth.

207 Guest Mix I Progressive Tales with Lexicon Avenue

This is a large portion of my 12 hour set at Stereo Montreal on September 28, 2024, my longest solo set ever. Missing are the first 2 hours, which I cut for better overall flow, as well as the last hour, which was not recorded as my recorder ran out of battery power.

To me, Stereo represents the absolute top of electronic music clubs worldwide. It is one of the few places that gives DJs the canvas to play long sets under near optimal conditions - an amazing sound system, great monitors, beautiful and subtle lighting and - last but not least - a knowledgeable, demanding and unified crowd.

Melbourne has never shied away from producing progressive artists who explore the darker side of sound, and Mike Rish is the latest in a long line of esteemed talent to emerge from the city. Yet, he’s slowly carving out a unique niche—an unmistakable rogue-ish frequency that’s both chugging and energetic, playful yet serious. In fact, it’s a whirlwind of emotions at any given moment, but it's always there.

However, don't box him in as a merchant of the moody. When he’s not hiding in the shadows, he shimmers like glitter. Check out his latest on Anjunadeep Explorations, ‘Tú Attair’, and his remix of fellow Melburnian Jamie Stevens’ ‘Rivers’—both delectable slices of euphoric prog that will send the blood rushing to your head. Yes, he has game, and it's no stretch to say that Mike Rish is currently one of the globe’s most searing rising talents.

On this two-hour mix, the Australian delivers a set for the purists—starting with a slow, inviting build that eventually pulls you in like a vortex. Featuring tracks from Guy J, Pig&Dan, Argy, and a stellar chugging rework of the Hydrogen Rockers' classic ‘Musica’, this mix only solidifies the rumor that buying Mike Rish stocks is a sure bet.

Thank you to Burning Man, Robot Heart, and all the camps, artists, musicians, and creators who continue to shape and inspire the vibrance of the playa.

Each burn is its own journey—for me, this one was extra-dimensional. 🗝️✨

Heute haben wir Mia Kober mit einem exklusiven Live Recording auf KataHaifisch zu Gast. Dieses wunderschöne Set entstand auf dem Shipwrecked 2025, am Sonntag auf der Humming Hut. Es strotzt nur so vor grooviger Wärme, einer verspielten Leichtigkeit und genau dem Sonntagnachmittagsvibe eines gelungenen Festivals. Sanft trägt dich die Musik, lässt dich schweifen und schmunzeln. Hier und da ein Augenzwinkern, ein unerwarteter Moment, ein magischer Aussetzer in der Luft. Ausgelassen, unbeschwert mit der nötigen Portion Tiefe. Ein Set zum Zurücklehnen, Genießen und Träumen. 

Dankeschön und viel Vergnügen 💚

Roger Martinez is a distinctive voice in electronic music, known for deep, progressive trance-influenced DJ sets and detailed productions. Shaped by Amsterdam’s club scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s,  his long-form sets often move across genres, using 4-deck mixing to build cohesive, evolving journeys.

With releases from Lost & Found to Sudbeat and Plattenbank, Martinez continues to explore subtle textures and rhythmic depth, an intention you can hear clearly on his own Higher States imprint.

On this Balance Selections mix, Martinez flexes with an impressive 90-minutes ride through forward-thinking prog. Featuring tracks from Maze28, Amháin & EMPHI and Dowden & Mazayr, this is a hypnotic drift worth surrendering to.
