Deep / Hypnotic / Atmospheric Techno  2019 may - october

After a brief hiatus, we're back with episode 38 of our mix series from Nantes based DJ and Macadam's Artistic Programmer Aasana. A beautifully organic 2 hour mix exploring an unconscious inner power, traversing ambient, breaks, techno and DnB.

For several months now, I have been taking the time to explore Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ book Women Who Run with the Wolves. She specifically discusses the notion of Rio Abajo Rio, the River beneath the river, which echoes the depths of the unconscious and the instinctive wisdom that flows within us, even when we are unaware of it. She uses this metaphor to illustrate the primal life force and feminine intuition that exist beneath the surface of our daily lives.
This underground river symbolizes natural instincts, ancestral knowledge, and creativity that continue to flow within us, even when they are sometimes stifled by social or personal pressures. A book that is both inspiring and unsettling, as it deeply resonates with my life’s quest today.

This set is a search for reconnection with Rio Abajo Rio, a journey toward my purest and deepest essence—my inner power—in order to reclaim my intuitive nature.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, this set is woven with Ambient, Techno, Breaks, Abstract, and D’n’B sounds, all tied together by a percussive and organic universe.

"I have been immersed in music since I was a child. My parents were involved in the Hard Rock scene. On my mother’s side, part of my family is from Brittany, so Breton music also played a big role in my childhood.

When I was old enough to go out, I dived into so many different scenes—Tribe, Hardcore, and Trance through Raves and Free Parties, Techno to House, Dubstep to D’n’B through clubs and festivals, Dub, Experimental Music, Noise, Ambient, Punk through alternative spaces and squats. This opened countless doors for me, leading to interconnected musical worlds.

Later, my job at Macadam also broadened my musical perspective, thanks to its artistic direction. That's why I generally need to move between different musical styles. My musical approach is entirely based on my feelings, emotions, moods, and, of course, the connection with the crowd when I play.

This is also why I love b2b sets—they push me out of my comfort zone and allow me to discover even more.

DSS 106 comes form across the Canal.

Her vision is further extended through her Cozi label, where she delivers ep's, dj-mixes and a residency at the Brussels based Kiosk Radio.

"The maestro takes his seat, glasses on, guiding the light across the hidden corners of his frequency library. Perfectly woven layers drift and evolve — minimal, restrained, dark in tone, brilliant in execution. In the cabin, every mind floats, someone slips in a field recording, blurring the edges between inside and out. The light gently rises, and as everything fades, the birds come knocking at the door."

Spira invites @solmadj

Paris-based producer and DJ, and co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, Solma draws inspirations from the hypnotic aesthetics of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass to shape a unique style that explores psychedelic territories where genre boundaries dissolve and textures take center stage. 

From high-energy sets to immersive live performances, Solma explores the full spectrum of electronic music — from introspection to dancefloor momentum. With a steadily growing catalog of high-quality releases, he continues to push boundaries and refine his identity.

While Solma is known for fast-paced rhythms and psychedelic synthlines, this time he masterfully explores the slower, deeper side of techno — presenting a one-hour mix for Spira Records that drifts through dub textures and meditative grooves.

It’s time for the 33rd upload already. This podcast is recorded by another DJ/producer from Sweden, but that should be no surprise. Efraim Kent is not a producer that releases many records. We got introduced to his music through a couple of tracks he released with Dorisburg on Tikita. The Moroccan label might be one of the most refreshing upcoming labels if you ask us. Keep an eye out for more Efraim Kent. There’s more to come!

About Alpenglühen#44 ... took place at Siroco on March, 7tth. The guest artist that night was Daoun. The SD card of the handrecorder became "corrupted" and i lost the recording of the night. Daoun recorded recently a small mix with some of the records  he used then. 
Enjoy it.

Luigi Tozzi (Hypnus Records, Outis Music / Italy)

Luigi Tozzi는 지난 몇 년간 엠비언트부터 클럽의 댄스뮤직까지 어우르는 자신만의 확고한 테크노 스타일을 만들어내며 디제이로써 자신의 이름을 천천히 그리고 확실하게 만들어나갔다. 이탈리아 로마에서 태어난 Tozzi는 몇 세대를 거치며 만들어진 이탈리아 특유의 사운드로부터 큰 영향을 받았으며, 이는 Tozzi 특유의 소용돌이 치는듯한 깊고 감정적인 사운드로 발전되었다. 그의 작품들에는 이러한 자신만의 색채가 뚜렷하게 묻어나고 있다.
Tozzi는 현대 딥테크노 씬의 핵심적인 레이블 Hypnus Records(스웨덴)를 통해 여러 장의 EP 앨범과 그의 대표적 작품이라 할 수 있는 앨범 “Deep Blue: Volume 2”(2016)를 발표하였다. 또한, 이탈리아의 저명한 프로듀서인 Dino Sabatini가 이끄는 Outis Music을 통해서는 솔로 작품들뿐만 아니라 Dino Sabatini와의 협업 작품들도 발표하였다.
자신만의 사운드에 대한 확고한 의지와 함께 깊이 고민하며 발전시킨 Tozzi의 음악적 정체성은 현재의 아티스트 Luigi Tozzi가 있게끔 만들었으며, 유럽 최고의 클럽 중 하나로 손꼽히는 Khidi (Tbilisi)에서의 레지던트 디제이 활동을 포함하여 그를 전 세계 최고의 클럽들에서 공연하게끔 이끌었다. 이러한 활동들을 통해 Tozzi는 디제이와 프로듀서로서 독창적인 자신만의 사운드를 표현하고 있으며, 또한 예술가로서의 실험을 지속하며 끊임없이 진화해 나가고 있다.

Over the last few years Luigi Tozzi has been calmly making a name for himself as one of Europe’s go-to DJs for his distinct brand of techno that draws both from ambient music as well as from the club. Raised in Rome, the DJ and Producer takes influence from the timeless italian sound, which he’s further developed with an emotional, swirling, dubby atmosphere. There’s an unmistakable texture to his productions.
While prolific, Tozzi has kept his output within a close family of labels. Swedish label Hypnus are key here, having released a number of the producer’s EPs as well as his acclaimed debut album, Deep Blue: Volume 2, in 2016. Alongside Hypnus, Tozzi has worked closely with Outis Music, releasing both solo as well as collaborative work with the label’s founder, Dino Sabatini.
Tozzi’s unswerving commitment to his sound, alongside his pensive and considered development as an artist has brought him to where he is today, with a touring schedule that’s taken him to some of the finest clubbing establishments around the world. Within this, he maintains a residency at Khidi, Tbilisi, which in recent years has emerged as one of the best clubbing destinations in Europe. It’s through this platform that he brings his unique hybrid sound as both a DJ and producer, and can evolve and experiment as an artist.
