For our second instalment we’ve invited SUNYATA, a DJ and visual artist from Latvia. 

Some words by her about this mix:
“When I record a mix for me its usually very intuitive. I just select the tracks that resonate with my mood in the moment, and then experiment with mixing them with each other.  I also like when there is a slower and faster progression in the mix. When I play music, I get into some sort of void in my mind or a story which doesn’t need any words to be told. 

For me playing hypnotic techno is a calming meditation practice, and this is a state I wish to share with other people.”

Expect a shamanistic experience that will enhance your body and mind through organic percussions, tribal vibes and deep frequencies.

For our fifth instalment we’ve invited HOD, a very talented Colombian DJ and producer.

You will think about your life and sometimes a heavy feeling takes over. Darkness comes and goes. It's dark, for sure. But sometimes it seems brighter. You can lean in and be okay. You know the sun will rise in the end. Every time again. “

For our fourteenth installement we've invited Noah Lyas, an artist passionate about making refined ceramics and composing deep atmospheric rhythms.

Malii grew up in a house where music was always on because of two passionate parents who shared a large record collection with their children. With a father as a musician, early contact with different instruments was made as well as performing arts.

Later in life, around the age of twenty, after many dances in night clubs with friends, Malii started to make his own music focussing on soft percussive rhythms and lush atmospheres, finding inspiration in different kinds of music and sometimes movies.

The first two releases, “Before the Horizon” and “Obsidian”, were the starting point of Noah Lyas, his pseudonym, and the beginning of his record label called “Profundo Collective”.

Some words about this mix:
"In the tapestry of music, deep rhythms are the threads that weave together our primal connection to sound. They are the heartbeat of cultures, the pulse of life that reverberates through our bodies and souls. Picture the steady, resonant thump of a drum, echoing through the night air. It's more than just a sound; it's a call to movement, an invitation to dance."

For our eighteenth instalment we’ve invited MIR, a raw talent emerging from the deep techno scene in Rotterdam. 

MIR, meaning 'peace' or 'community,' was the first modular space station to orbit Earth, aimed at developing the technologies necessary for permanent space habitation. Inspired by this, my musical taste gravitates toward a hypnotic, dark, and ambient sound that captures a deep sense of peace and community – a feeling uniquely found on the dance floor."

Some words about the mix:
When I think of hypnosis, I envision myself standing in front of a crystal-clear sound system, free of any obligations. My only focus is on dancing and drifting away to the hypnotic sounds. With this set, I aimed to recreate that experience—a space where listeners can lose themselves in the music, allowing the rhythm to guide them into a deep, immersive trance, free from distractions.

“It was recorded with a focus on the following three axes: rhythm, intensity and emotions. In contrast to the more techno podcasts I record, here I intended to visualize the movement the sound could create on the body that listens to it. A dance sometimes slow, fast, syncopated, with pauses and quick restarts, exploring a rich palette of emotions.”
