To keep the Bonanza cauldron bubbling, we are thrilled to drop the full 3 hours of XDB's glorious Sunday morning slot from Bonanza back in March. 

Anyone who has heard XDB knows that these after-hours moments are where he shines brightest, and this is on full display for Rio 005, as he weaves his way effortlessly through the deepest of deep house, ambient techno, electro, acid and tech house. The music XDB plays is always hard to put your finger on, but is consistently interwoven with a certain intangible feeling and emotion. For many this was an absolute highlight of the festival, so we couldn't be happier to share this with you as the 5th instalment of our mix series.

"Good thoughts bring forth good fruit" (George Clinton, 1974)
Surprising connections between different selections, ear-pleasing explorations crossing global borders, timeless decades and different foundations.

"The big wave brought us. Sounds, any sounds you heard but we have forgotten. Our profiles turned away, the vibrations that make our names, the lilt of our presence. These are illustrious memories you have left us. We turn them over in the dawn, we lose them, we find them, we tell them to the few." - Pluralized - @pluralmusik

Hypnotic Mindscapes curator and founder Cosmic JD joins us for the next episode of the MASS podcast.

Known for delivering intelligent grooves on the dancefloor through both his DJ sets and live performances, JD recently unveiled a new dimension to his sound

We first caught a glimpse of this shade at the Seekers x Faciendo weekender at Hoppetosse in snowy Berlin this past February. With tired legs after hours on the floor, we drifted downstairs and stumbled into a deeply considered downtempo set, curated with warmth, restraint, and intention. It was a moment that gently pulled us inward, reshaping the energy of the night.

Inspired by that experience, we invited Cosmic to share this reflective mode with us. What followed is a soulful, immersive journey, grounded in emotion, textured in detail, and delivered with care.

Tune in to this special set, and keep an ear out for more from JD and the Hypnotic Mindscapes imprint.

SPELLCAST#18 BRUNO SCHMIDT

Another track from the album I'm working on. It started as a series of timestretched field recordings to which I added layers of guitar. I ended up ditching all of the timestretched sounds, wasn't pleased with it, but I'm happy how that decision turned out. Still some polishing to do, maybe adding some things here and there, and of course it isn't mixed yet - nor mastered. Let me know what you think!

Operating in Berlin via Moscow, Vlada’s work as an artist is marked by her incessant travelling, and widening boundaries of perception.

From what started with formal tuition on the piano, her sonic explorations have taken her through jazz, funk, and beyond. Caressing the nuances of melody, groove, and mood, Vlada journeys through the various strands of sound condense mesmerisingly under the curiosity of night.

As a DJ, Vlada’s framework lies in house and techno, with the odd excursion through break-beat and electro – but she’s constantly changing and growing, exploring wider ranges on style and experimenting with her musical identity. This isn’t a restlessness that‘s just confined to her music, it’s in her very nature, as someone who is constantly on the move.

Vlada’s selection and overall style matches her penchant for small, intimate, sometimes dark venues, while her natural fluidness, rhythm and internal polarity as an artist and as an individual is matched by a love and deep connection to the sea…
