renate - the last dance

On this episode of the Gabu Mix Series, we welcome Spanish DJ and producer @go-2. Born in Valencia and shaped by the raw energy of ‘90s American house, she blends it seamlessly with modern minimal techno and breakbeat. Known for her hypnotic rhythms, acid-tinged lines, and unstoppable groove, Ladrillovitz has lit up dancefloors at legendary spots like Spook, Off Sonar, and Días de Campo. A driving force behind the decks, this one’s full throttle.

We’re excited to share the Far Blue perception of Zürich-based Serenne with you today. After catching her live this summer, we were pulled in by the way she blends lush, dreamy sounds with darker moods. While keeping things subtle and immersive, she brings that same energy and depth to this one-hour mix.

“I recently had a conversation with Ben Kaczor, who mentioned an artist I hadn’t heard of before: Hilma af Klint, a Swedish visionary whose work immediately spoke to something inside me. Touched by her paintings, I printed two of her blue-hued pieces — The Ten Largest, No. 1 (1907) and Childhood and Primordial Chaos (1906–1907) — hung them above my setup, and started recording this one-take mix, letting myself drift into the world they opened.

But as I listened back, I found myself entering something else entirely — something that goes beyond those paintings — something deeper, something that transforms. A space beyond sight. That’s where the journey begins for me. And I hope that, for whoever listens, it becomes something personal too. Maybe even a small doorway to something deeper, something invisible… just as Hilma found through her art.

This mix also features beautiful tracks from many dear friends — I feel grateful for each of their creations.”

A xone 96 got fried in the heat. You could cook eggs on it. Last minute switch to a pioneer. Therefore the slight delay.

The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

We are very happy to bring you a new QUADRASPHERE mix, and this one is an instant classic! MINDHELMET label boss Truly Madly and VERDANT RECORDINGS head of operations Andy Green. 

2 of the finest selectors getting together on the turntables for a mix of some of the best vinyl we've heard in a long time, crafted to perfection! No tracklist on this one, some of these records are very rare! 

We present:
Truly Madly & Andy Green

A few words from Andy:
"We don't get the benefits of a regular rub down as we used to, but when it happens, it remains a bit of a treat. The chaos of the early discogs forums introduced us over 20 years ago but also because we shared a love of proper deep music and the high life. We've done some Estimulo Shows, SUNK parties (with Chris) and many lost all nighters together before trajectories diverged. This one was a recent Saturday night, just winging it whilst quaffing notable Italian Reds. Its mildly amusing to me (Andy) that this recording leans into Dub Techno, a genre for which Truly has peculiar aversion to… and yet we are left feeling for dubby chords, swirling delays, some elegiac melodies and our passion for the proper tunage......one more rider?"

Music from Ron, Sasha Dive, Schatrax, Anton Zap, P. Laoss, DEC, Deadbeat, Mindhelmet, Claro Intelecto, Jorge Zamacona, Scott Grooves, Shinichi Atobe & Norm Talley amongst others

The Quadrasphere 017 - Truly Madly & Andy Green

@youssefyasserr is a Cairo-born DJ and one of the city’s most exciting young selectors. With a sound shaped by 90s and early 00s electro, acid, house, and IDM, his refined digging style has taken him from Cairo’s leading parties to international airwaves like NTS and Rinse France. We’re glad to have him on board for this new episode of the Gabu mix series.

jugular phantoms

sound like you

Gabu celebrates the sound of Saudi’s deeper underground. Gabu, a pan Arabic colloquial term for basement, is the home for deeper house, from the emotive to the downright filthiest of grooves, connecting house tribes from around the Middle East and the world.
