Crafted by a boundary-pushing Australian artist, the mix explores the raw textures of hypnotic techno while carrying a sense of grace throughout. With nods to the mid-2010s of techno (a forgotten goldmine of hypnotic techno), this mix flings you into orbit with an impeccable assortment of 1AM hazy dance-floor, heads-down goodness (you know what I mean...) 

About the artist: 

Their devotion to a particular sound and approach has driven their ability to grow rapidly since entering the scene just a few years ago, and it is this obsession that will continue to allow them to blossom. They're an artist to watch by all accounts, and whether it’s DJing or producing, they will always be emerging as an essential feature of Australia.

HYPNO SOUNDS – VOL. 13

For this HYPNO Sounds, we’re venturing into new terrain – still hypnotic, but warped into psychedelic territory, as we edge closer to VOL.14 with Hitam.
Lovefromsoph, a longtime HYPNO mainstay, has been part of our journey since day one. Usually known for her signature hypnotic drive that's synonymous with our core sound, this time she’s shifted gears – delivering a gorgeous, wiggly wormhole of sound to set the tone for Hitam’s shamanic four-hour ritual on November 22nd.

Just over an hour of shimmering, off-grid grooves that hold their tension just beneath eruption. We’ve wanted to introduce this strain of techno not just on our dance-floors, but through our mix series too – so let it pull you in. 

New territory also brings new-found change. From now on our guest mixes will no longer be anonymous.

Love,
HYPNO

HYPNO SOUNDS VOL.14 LIVE – Kushkusshhh

Entering 2026, we begin with the long-awaited HYPNO Sounds VOL.15 mix. With VOL.16 on the horizon, this felt like the perfect way to set the tone — a local legend currently plying his trade in London.

He has been a pivotal figure in the post-COVID rebuilding of hypnotic techno in Sydney/Eora, helping raise the standard and quality of DJing through his refined taste, expert ear, and ability to move any dancefloor with intention.

That person is none other than Zac Walls - former co-founder of local crew Obfuscate, alongside fellow comrade Ben.

Zac shares a deeply aligned ethos with HYPNO around how techno parties should be run - intentional, respectful, and sound-first. Beyond that, he’s an exceptional mixer and a true staple of the Sydney/Eora scene. 

His style is warm, elastic, and hypnotic, with trippy textures and groove forming the backbone of his journeys. This mix is a perfect example:  refined, intelligent, and deeply immersive.

We’d also like to thank every artist who contributed a mix in 2025. HYPNO Sounds exists to broadcast the local and international journeys that make up the fabric of what HYPNO is. So for all contributions – we thankyou for all your efforts and incredible journeys. 

For now though, enjoy this masterful journey from Zac. 

Link is in the usual spot 🕸️

Much love,
HYPNO x
