Hashman Deejay stands out as one of those DJ's and producers where he lets the music do the talking. Like fellow collaborators PLO Man & C3D-E you won't see many interviews, let alone photos - they show up to the party and do their thing. 
With a vast range of alias' and collaborative projects Hashman has been responsible for some of the rawest sounds in experimental, breaks, house and techno. As well as a DJ his vast taste can expand anywhere from shoegaze and punk, disco and raw chicago sounds, to dubbed acid and techno. 
For this mix the selector has dug deep into the tape hiss sounding crates covering oldschool beats that could be mistaken for an OG Ras G tape, dub flowing onwards into some select acid house and more synth focused club sounds all working together with the most seamless touch. We had a very brief chat with Hashman about his mix but this one is all about the sounds and he lets that do the talking.

The 16th part of our podcast puzzle comes from Que Sakamoto. 

The nomadic Japanese DJ and producer and self proclaimed "party ninja" serves up 3 hours of peak-time breaks, trance, tech house and techno, recorded live in March 2025 at the Rio. There is a certain quality that courses through his DJ sets that is hard to pin down; psychedelic? Definitely. Playful? Of course. 

It's fair to say that a lot of the music Que plays you won't have heard before and most likely won't hear again. He's always got his own unreleased bombs up his sleeve, plus plenty of Japanese rarities that just hit each time. Dive in to the world of Que Sakamoto.

DJ Spirit [@xxdeejayspiritxx] is the co-founder of Praxis and has been active in the Montreal underground scene since 2017.  Here are few words about the mix...

This hour-long mix was inspired by some recent mixes I’ve been listening to over the last few months. Really into some recordings from the 2000s that are 116bpm-ish early morning sunrise energy, and this has a bit of that essence (A good mix to check out is the Troy Pierce Mix on Dance Shake Swing from Sept 2008, it's on Soundcloud). I decided to rev it up in the latter half but I still think it remains “deep” and keeps rolling along…which is my favourite energy to dance to. Hope you enjoy!

Super Venus grew up surrounded by dub reggae and 90s trip hop. It shows. Her basslines are daring, detail-driven and full of elegant defiance. She blends unknown gems and hypnotic rhythms, always playing with the unexpected.

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

for this fifth episode, @papangdistill delivers a drum'n'bass set, imbued with warmth and liquid, exhilarating energy︎.
A pure concentration of good vibes and movement, a wave that combines softness and power ⚕︎

I am very honoured to welcome this artist whom I deeply admire, a member of the Distill Crew and master of deep and dark soundscapes... 
Welcome Papang ♡.

before diving in, here are a few words he wanted to share about this mix - " I deep dived in liquid drum n bass earlier this year. What seduced me in this particular esthetic is the duality between the smooth, laid back pads and the frenzy of the drum patterns. These two aspects are giving birth to complex feelings that I find very interesting and matching some life situations that I found myself into this year. Hope you enjoy this story as I do !
Free gaza."

A small body of house music shaped by coastal scenes, beach culture, and subtle tension.
Made for warm nights, open windows, and late drives.
