Dave Angel live at 909 Festival, Amsterdamse Bos - 28th May 2022

An irregular series of DJ mixes devoted to the world beyond the dancefloor.

From experimental electronics and dark ambient to psychedelic pop and blissed-out indie, the direction of each mix is completely of the artist's choosing. 
In keeping with the series' broad remit, featured selectors will include label owners, journalists, promoters and collectors as well as DJs and producers.

Mix Twelve is from producer, DJ and Circus Company cohort, Dave Aju.

San Francisco Bay Area native Marc Barrite’s alias Dave Aju has become a reliable name for fresh and expressive electronic music over the last decade, combining a deep knowledge and passion for dance music history with a fearless, forward-thinking approach to production and performance. A diverse range of influences, from his jazz upbringing and hip-hop roots to the outer realms of experimental rock and musique concréte can be heard in Aju’s unique sound.

Dave Aju remixes, DJ sets, and live performances are in high demand at labels, clubs, and festivals across the globe. And now, following the success and praise for his debut album Open Wide – created entirely with his mouth, and the acclaimed autobiographical follow-up Heirlooms, Aju is more active than ever further developing his musical universe, including some promising collaborations such as the voice of Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts’ new band project The Side Effects, new works for Matthew Herbert’s Accidental label and more recently the release of his 3rd studio album, Black Frames.

ABOUT THE MIX

"This is a one-take vinyl mix of a few personal non-club classics that recall beautiful moments and people in my life. From the moment I first saw The Skull Sessions LP artwork in my father's collection as a kid, and being blown away at the first Tortoise show a good friend took me to almost 20 years ago, to landing in Brazil on tour with Arthur Verocai in the headphones, smashing down the 101 South freeway bumping J Dilla in summertime heat, or playing notorious SF bar nights with the Magnificent 7 DJ collective. 

Most of the records were just pulled from storage back home in the Bay Area last month and brought back overseas to Berlin, so in many ways this was like having a nice catch-up session with old friends while introducing them to some new ones I've met more recently. The mix was made in the cave with two Technics 1210 MK2s, a Rane Empath mixer, some pretty nasty back-up needles borrowed from Mike Shannon, and love."

Capital Xtra Mix (Radio Rip)

She is an artist who defies simple categorization by genre or scene. Mareena’s work as a DJ, producer, and curator stems from a deep desire to create meaningful connections between music and people. Her roots go back to a time when club culture was rougher, and perhaps more honest. Yet instead of clinging to nostalgia, Mareena continuously looks forward, digs deeper, and explores new sonic and emotional spaces. With a finely tuned sense for atmosphere, she creates a sound that unfolds gradually, reveals layers of complexity, and fully envelops the listener. Her musical signature is marked by warmth and attention to detail, shaped by an intuitive understanding of contrast and dramaturgy.

Whether in dark club nights or contemplative ambient formats, which she presents through her label UNRUSH, Mareena builds soundscapes that challenge and support in equal measure. She never puts herself at the center, but instead uses her music to establish genuine connection.

In an interview with Andre Kronert, Mareena takes us on a journey. From a small village near Rostock to the legendary catacombs of the old Tresor club in Berlin, where she has held a residency for over twelve years. She shares memories of attending the Love Parade with her family in the 1990s and recounts how techno eventually pulled her to Berlin, where she found diversity, freedom, and her musical home. Speaking openly and reflectively, with her characteristic northern charm, she talks about her early days, setbacks along the way, and why she continues to curate, perform, and stay loyal to vinyl with unwavering passion.

YEAR 2003

Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.

San Francisco raised, Berlin-based artist Chloe Lula is a resident DJ and releasing artist at Tresor. She's played at Berghain, Boiler Room, Movement Detroit, and countless clubs, festivals and parties across Asia, Europe, and, North and South America, becoming known for sets that dig deep into the niche recesses of rolling psychedelic techno. She has released on Tresor Records, Blueprint, and Falling Ethics, and will release an LP on MORD in November 2025. 

In addition to her career as a DJ and producer, Chloe is a classically trained cellist, and uses her instrument to record deconstructed tones and timbres that form the textural and atmospheric character of her releases for the dance floor. She is also a composer and released her debut instrumental full-length on James Ginzburg’s Subtext label late last year.

Awakenings Podcast S358 - Chloe Lula

Drawing from a place of emotion, APRS delves into the rugged and radiant ends of electronic music, culminating in a powerful signature dotted with elegant motifs. With over ten years of experience producing music, the Berlin-based artist has formed a versatile blueprint that sprawls across deep and driving techno, emotive breaks and ethereal ambiences.
 
In the spring of 2024, Spanish label Sungate released APRS' debut EP, followed by a second EP on ARTS in early 2025. APRS' sound blends rich techno rhythms with balmy ambient notes, deep and warm basslines, and airy dub-infused melodies and textures, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
 
As a vinyl enthusiast, APRS curates his sets with meticulous selection and graceful flow, blending energetic techno beats with atmospheric elements. His approach invites subtle exploration and experimentation, resulting in cohesive journeys that integrate intense, visceral expression. He has soundtracked renowned venues in Berlin including a recent appearance at Tresor, as well as clubs and festivals in Europe.
 
Collaboration is also integral to his creative process, fostering sound research and enabling the discovery of new areas in electronic music. Working closely with harpist Tancrède, the pair produce live sets in smooth tandem, where the latter weaves the enchanting strings of the electric harp with APRS' machinery.
 
In 2022, APRS co-founded with Serenus the event series Lowpass, centred on the essence of electronic music and committed to diversity, self-expression, and artistic innovation. Lowpass invites established and local artists to perform in various venues across Berlin. In addition to curating the line-ups, APRS often warms up or closes on the night, adapting to transient and packed dancefloors, respectively.
 
Led by an unrushed, explorative approach in the studio, APRS merges emotional vulnerability with maturely crafted sonics, tracing an arc between soothing and searing sounds all the way through.

Monkey Safari - Monkeybird Mix

Many times, biographies of techno acts start by singing their praise of an extremely early,
extraordinary talent on synthesizers and other electronic devices.

In Heron’s case, things are different. Because Martin Spittel has been shaped musically since his childhood, the influences were as diverse as music can be.

On one side, there was his grandfather, who played various instruments, and to whom young Martin related closest to and whose influence still lasts until today. On the other side there were his cousins who were not much older than himself, enthusiastic about AC/DC, and band members themselves. Over the course of the following years, he explored the diversity of Black, Death and Trash Metal, EBM and Industrial, right up to Detroit Techno.

Ever since then, Heron's environment served as compensation to ferce parties and expanding his musical horizon. This symbiosis from the love of nature and the musical influences from his early childhood are a direct reflection of Heron’s entire life.

Following the scream of the waders (limicoline birds), he moved to picturesque island Norderney in 2003. There, exploring the island’s national park, he decided to live up to his enthusiasm about nature by going to study landscape ecology at the University of Münster. It turned out: The relocation to Münster was the initial spark for his career; the months in Norderney were inspiration for the name of his label “Limikola” which was founded in late 2008 and enjoyed enormous support by both DJs and fans.

After launching his now very successful °Schaltkreis-parties with four friends in mid-2007, everything went quickly: His first own radio show “The Grasshopper Warbler”, contacts to prominent players like Someone Else and Heartthrob, and finally the moment in early 2008 during the season’s opening at Time Warp, when Richie Hawtin played all three tracks from Heron’s Retro EP. It was merely his second EP, released on a netlabel (Minisome), and it became immediately successful. A knightly accolade.

The journey that Heron started lead to his bombshell track “Welcome to the Adventure Club” that charted in the Beatport charts in 2008, and continued with remixes and releases for Synewave, Supdub, Swap, micro.fon, Prosthetic Pressings and Sleaze Records. In 2010, it culminated with a tour across North America during the summer.

Two years later he released his very first EP on the legendary Detroit label KMS Records, owned by Kevin Saunderson, followed by remixes for Drumcomplex, P-Ben and Chris Gekä, one collaboration project with Inner City's Ann Saunderson and his second solo release „Ride The Pride“. Furthermore he made the step into the Soma family by publishing three solo EPs and an EP with Kevin's son Dantiez Saunderson, as well as he started to release on Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings.
