Celebrate the heat, rhythm, and freedom of summer with Gradient Summer Tape — a sun-soaked compilation dropping in sync with our release party at Exil. Born from the collective energy of our crew, this project brings together Latin and Brazilian funk-inspired grooves, hazy beats, and personal interpretations of what summer sounds like.

inc.ternational mix series 12: dj ojo (London, UK)

"This mix is intended to capture the carefree energy at the tail end of the endless summer heatwave; lazy, sleazy, balmy and dripping, gently euphoric; downtempo, ambient, wave, house and oddities in between. Improvised in a mushroom mood one evening and refined in one take the next afternoon after a morning sauna. Vinyl, MP3s, delay pedal, mixer, sunlight through the windows and plants dancing delicately along with me. Enjoy!" - dj ojo.

Those paying attention might remember ojo's killer track"Lounge of a Thousand Years" on our "Delusions VA" compilation from a few years ago now. Tripped out excursions and moods you cant quite pin point but tickle the itch. ojo is a pro at merging seamless textures full of emotive wonk. stoked to get him on the series. grab a drink, sit back, fade out. 


dj ojo (london) ~ inc.ternational mix series: 12 [Weirdos inc.]

the next mix in the series is pure dubwise profundity coming from @edenaurelius and @milliamusic

Some words from the artists :

“This mix is a live recording taken from Nowadays in April of this year for livwutang’s recidency, where we were invited to open for Deepchord as a part of a dub techno focused event here in New York. 

The three hour mix is the culmination of our shared inspirations - contemporary and classic, and our own interpretations of the genre itself.

We have b2b’ed many times over the past 10 years, and we feel this may be our favorite set so far - we hope you enjoy”

This month on Rinse France, @bambi-dj is inviting Australian DJ and @oomycota_label label head @tangeladj. Tangela's sound bridges between dubby breaks, percussive techno, minimal psy and trance, always with a psychedelic bush-infused and playful edge. Lock-in and keep it locked ♡

Bambi invite Tangela - 25 Septembre 2025

From Finland, but based in Amsterdam, https://soundcloud.com/elinatapio is a DJ/radio maker/sonic researcher with a love for the cerebral, dark and psychedelic. She co-hosts the shows Scrying the Landscape on Mutant Radio with Hannah Pezzack and axia maxim on Echobox with Julia Mira. Together with Marco Segato, under the moniker eoobe, they produce otherworldly musical explorations with an avant-garde touch, deep and intense.

Her daily life atm revolves around executing a daytime job in music/data/machine learning related affairs while trying to finish recordings and releases with Marco for eoobe. Another important part of her day is feeding birds outside of her window, close friends, especially the crow-related ones, they’re so smart.

 Passions include an interest in good concepts and ideas across the board (and in sound). She's pushing herself to read more, though she can be very bad at that‎, but it’s important to see the world through different lenses, more deeply. Currently she's reading philosophy that is about time, hard analytical stuff from which a very esoteric world view emerges.

She’s working on becoming comfortable with being bored, but she’s made only little progress. She likes magpies, drones (the sound, not the surveillance), dry heat, and being fluid. She does not like the days getting shorter and darker, being stuck, silly expectations, and unveiling too many personal details.

 In her mix Elina takes the time to set the mood, slowly raising the tension. Temperature’s rising, almost reaching boiling point. What she’s giving, keeps you sizzling. Out-there mind-twisters, restless rhythms, hypnotic and tripped out gems. The blazing sun makes you melt… almost.

NOSE JOB 43 — ELINA TAPIO

@stone_xo, producer and DJ from South London, has been turning heads with a style that slips between dreamy downtempo and sharp-edged club energy. A mainstay on Berlin’s @triplexlarge, his recent release hit hard and showed why his sound keeps sparking attention in the community, alongside work on Goddezz, Theory Therapy and Kontext. For us, he delivers a mix diving deep into darkside downtempo and illbient - raw, textured and with his distinct touch

q. pls introduce yourself:

a. Hi! I’m Ryan aka ghosttropics and I think most people on here know me as “that person who is in the comment boxes of all the ambient releases on bandcamp”. Mostly I’m just a huge music nerd/listener/dancer, but I try to write about the music that care about as much as I can as a way to engage with the community a bit more and to give back to the artists who bless me with the music that brings so much to my life. Which is how you guys found me! This is only the second mix I ever made and I’ve since worked on a couple more, and it’s becoming this very fulfilling new thing in my life that I look forward to exploring a bit more.

q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. First of all I just wanted to thank you guys for having me here and giving me this opporunity to work on this mix, which ended up being very meaningful and downright therapeutic for me to make. It is dedicated to my late best friend Blakely, and also to anyone who lives with that soul deep and unnameable feeling of missing someone, but also feeling them with you all the time. At the very centre of the mix (both figuratively and at the literal halfway point) is a track of Blakes that I hadn’t been able to bring myself to listen to for years. I always thought it was one of the most beautiful things I ever heard and just the purest audio distillation of everything I loved about my friend, and as soon as the mix started to come together I knew it was the right time to bring it back into my life. Everything from there just seemed to come together on is own as if guided by a gentle hand.

The feeling I tried to capture in this mix is not simply sadness because grief is SO much more than that. It’s about how that sadness can also be so deeply intertwined with a feeling of indescribable gratitude and joy in having known a person, and it’s about all the beautiful and unexpected ways we can keep them with us throughout our lives. To me, this mix is exactly that. A way to share the story of my friend with the world and feel closer to him, and I hope that listening to this can give others the space to remember and relate to their own experiences in a way that feels meaningful as well.

q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. As is my answer to most things: lying down, eyes closed, cuddling a cute dog. But really, wherever works best for you! 

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

a. I found the most beautiful/perfect antique rocking chair with a rocking footrest on the sidewalk a couple months ago and I swear I could not even conceptualize a better reading chair. I refused to buy one for years because I wanted it to be perfect (I read nearly as much as I listen to music) and part of me feels like I willed this thing into reality. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

a. I’m thinking about maybe starting some sort of newsletter as my friends keep telling me to do, but for now I’m just gonna keep writing my little bandcamp reviews and making more mixes, cause that’s what’s feeling good right now. And despite my past promise to myself to never become a DJ (half joking) maybe buy a controller and start figuring out how to do some of this stuff live at some point!
