Giulia Fournier-Mercadante (GiGi FM) is a multi-disciplinary artist, DJ, resident of NTS Radio, dancer and music producer. Boldly versatile, GiGi FM’s selections have charmed bodies on dancefloors all across the world, such as Berghain, Rural Japan, Draaimolen, Fabric, De School, Primavera, The Bunker New York, and Sustain Release. In the booth her genre-defying spirit is in full effect with techno, bass, breaks and ambient all coming in to play.

Deeply influenced by astrology, philosophy and the cosmos; for GiGi, music is both a tool for expression and introspection. As a multi- hyphenate artist, she continues on her quest to push artistic boundaries and hold space for unique audience experiences. Whatever medium she may adopt, the result is a rich embodiment of the interconnectedness of sound, colour, movement and metaphysics.

Here are GiGi’s words about the mix :
"In the heart's silent chamber, truth whispers,
A dance of light and shadow, as the spirit quivers.
Embrace the darkness, for it delivers,
The light of self-love, as the soul considers."

Blenk "Breaking the Loop" Previews (Enemy)

A leader of the Portuguese wave in techno co-founding Hayes Collective while boasting acclaimed releases on Klockworks, Blueprint, and Soma, Temudo grabs the reins to take club music back to its days of audacity and risk taking. A more than promising up-and-comer turned modern reference, Temudo defends his reputation with a release showcasing depth in his various sonic universes and a deep understanding of his music’s history. For its seventh release, Temudo’s ‘Meteora’ is a logical next step for the club’s direction - a sweet spot between dancefloor efficiency and enduring aesthetic.

Combining the intrigue of mental soundscapes with the reliability of imposing rhythm, ‘Meteora’ finds itself collected, expressing effect through restraint. The title track, claiming the EP’s A1, is just that - a force of interweaving sound design and powerful micro transitions. Some believe the best techno records are able to express emotion and attitude despite its dissonant and machinelike nature; if that’s the case then Temudo has mastered the craft. ‘When I Grow Up’, however, puts the focus back on the body. What sounds like warbling tape modulation over a percussive lead makes this record an addictively delirious ride from start to finish, fitting in with the track before while shifting to different priorities. Proving his versatility, ‘Vrthng’ at first seems reminiscent of the minimal Berlin style with a higher pace, but quickly progresses into something intensely euphoric. With experience and measure, an out of the box approach can really pay off, and the added emotion in ‘Vrthng’ is certainly a turning point in the EP. This mindset is clearly carried over in the project’s conclusion : ‘It’s Always Past’. A surprising use of harmony and storytelling, this final chapter ends with Temudo sealing his style with confidence. The track is mystified by its chords, ending ‘Meteora’ with a question mark that leaves us in anticipation for what Temudo dares to do next.

Dallas based producer Decoder (@iamdecoder) lands on Delsin with four versatile techno interpretations. From deep and immersive techno hypnotica to emotive electro bliss. It’s a well rounded EP with some type of elegance from a young producer who seems to have been doing this for decades. Decoder’s sound palette is warm and forceful, very direct yet still sensitive.

Next in our mix series is @nastiareigel. Following her recent Human appearance, the Berlin-based artist delivers a selection that cuts straight to the core of her dancefloor-oriented sound, featuring unreleased tracks coming out this year.

Human Mix 055 - Nastia Reigel

Decoder is an emergent Dallas producer whose 1st appearances arrived in 2021 with a trio of albums, including Dark Shape on Mills’ mighty Axis, followed by further full lengths & numerous EPs on respected imprints such as Holland’s Float, Detroit’s Blank Code, and untouchable techno tastemakers Delsin, plus his own Toca, co-run with NYC-based Jay York, whose similarly hyperactive productivity defines their alliance. Already known across the US thanks to Hawtin’s From Our Minds tour, his worldwide notice is sure to increase with each high-profile release. From Another Star harnesses the stargazing end of his already-alien sound sphere on Vinveli, five tracks of midtempo trips saturated in extraterrestrial atmosphere.  
Cycling bleeps in ‘Gasui’ serve to enforce stasis over motion as he elegantly assembles a dynamic orbital system, with gaseous, evaporating clouds brushed aside to reveal its insistently chugging inner works. Dense, dark, and unstable, ‘Drona’ voyages through the center of a freshly-exploded supernova nebula still expanding rapidly, with deadly detritus flashing past the viewscreens. A rippling, zapping lead carves its way through the center of ‘447’, continuously assuming unfamiliar shapes while rotating elements surrounding it create organic, evolving forms. ‘Standing’ displays the pulsating, eroded tones and sparse percussion touch that defines his style, its midrange a bath of reverb wash while subtle, changeable elements intertwine. Forward movement is almost an afterthought: this is music of drift, a broken warp drive stranded in deep space while anxiety builds throughout the crew. ‘Service’ ends on a more strident tone, an eight-minute epic whose rising momentum blasts its astronauts firmly past our solar system into unsettling isolation.

B2. Split Recall

INFO:
	
At this point a regular contributor in defining Token’s sound, Border One steps up for his sixth EP on the label in five years. As in many of his past projects, ‘Where is Now’ bleeds character through effect for a trip on the dancefloor. 

Establishing the ambiance of the record, Border One meets pace with depth in the titletrack A1. A pressing bassline and progressively squelching synth accents combine to press the dancefloor, decorated with flickering hi hats. The track remains a steady roller throughout while maintaining an underlying attitude that only adds to its initial drive. Focusing back his energy on percussion, Border One prioritises eccentric groove with insistent tone. ‘Time Drift’ reaffirms his minimalist approach to the EP, only inviting anxious drum sequences with rising rides in the second half. The portal opens steadily in ‘Time Drift’, establishing a slightly more meditative tone than he’s done in the past. ‘Echo State’ returns to resonance, a sound well fit for the label. With quick loops and a heavy focus on the hypnotic, in a dancefloor-commanding kind of way, the Belgian artist gives his signature sound that rolls effortlessly off of well tuned soundsystems. With a tight grip on the track’s pressure, Border One transitions into the final track ‘Split Recall’. Here, he finds a direct path through a heavily psychedelic landscape. Bringing in occasional high pitched synth sequences and cutting through claps while the stereo field turns and evolves, Border One creates a closing track with attention to detailing his arrangement and variance. Rolling off in one section to stomping through others, the Belgian artist proves once more that his sound continues to be reinvented throughout his work.

TOKEN136 - Border One - Where Is Now

Sinister Wave's "Affliction" is a four-track EP that plunges deep into the shadowy corridors of techno. Each piece stands as a distinct sonic statement, yet together they form a tightly woven narrative—equal parts cerebral and visceral.

Failed Rebellion opens and veers into more experimental terrain. Fractured melodies collide in a controlled storm of sound design. The track’s off-kilter structure and daring textures showcase Sinister Wave's fearless approach to pushing genre boundaries.

Emptiness follows with a raw, unrelenting energy. Anchored by a throbbing bassline and razor-sharp percussion, it channels industrial grit and peak-time intensity. This is techno at its most primal—designed to ignite dance floors and command attention.

Affliction, is a journey with a brooding, cinematic atmosphere. A steady pulse drives forward beneath layers of ghostly pads and echoing synth stabs, conjuring a vast, immersive space. It’s a hypnotic overture that sets the tone with precision and depth.

Closing the release is The One Who Is Many, a deep, dub-infused meditation. Rolling low-end grooves and spectral pads evolve in slow motion, creating a sense of introspection and emotional release. It’s a haunting finale that lingers long after the last beat fades.

LABEL : Enemy Records

Spanning 4 tracks, Dustin Zahn debuts a promising new French artist, Blenk! Already road tested by our favorite trusted DJs, the EP is a perfect marriage of deep and heavy tracks that can easily be placed in a variety of different sets. 
'' 'Vegetation' is ideal for those in need of a moody intro or something to create extra tension when it's far past everyone's bedtime! 'Raining' remains minimalistic but keeps you perfectly locked into the groove. The perfect DJ sets have peaks and valleys, man...so blast this one on the way up!
'Frame's is without a doubt the banger on this EP but somehow stays somewhat restrained. Great stuff for when you have the room fully under your control. The EP rounds off with the funkiest offering, 'Cells'. This is the jam for those who don't like as much doom and gloom in their techno! I gotta say, not bad for a debut EP!'' - DZ
