From Ukraine DJ Whyon1 brings this mix exclusive for Indirect Influence

The Pulse of Time: The Biography of DJ Whyon1
From the earliest age, music wasn't just background noise; it was an irresistible force that shaped his worldview and directed his life path. For DJ Whyon1, this fascination evolved into an all-consuming passion, transforming him from a mere listener into an influential selector and collector of sound.

An Adept of Authenticity and Vinyl
The journey as a DJ and music collector-selector commenced in 2008. It was a dive into the depths of rhythm, where the mixer became an instrument for crafting vibrant, pulsating stories. Since then, he has relentlessly honed his craft, transforming track mixing into an alchemy of harmony and tension.

His commitment to quality extends beyond the digital realm. Whyon1 is an old-school DJ for whom vinyl culture is not just a trend, but the foundation of authentic sound. He boasts an excellent collection of minimal records, preferring the warm, inimitable texture of vinyl that gives his sets a distinct depth and character. Playing on vinyl is not just technique; it’s a philosophy that underscores his reverence for music as a physical artifact.

The Sonic Landscape: From Minimal to Techno
His sonic signature is intellectual electronic music. He masterfully balances on the edge, favoring genres that demand refined selection: Minimal House and Minimal, Dark Minimal, Tech House and Deep, and of course, Techno.

The Underground, Selection, and Limited Space
In stark contrast to chart-driven DJs, Whyon1 strictly avoids mainstream hits. His sets are a meticulously constructed sonic journey, where every track is a discovery, not a mass-produced track.

His primary stage is exclusive, atmospheric parties for connoisseurs. He has played at numerous venues and events, too many to list—the crucial point is that his sound consistently resonates with the true devotees of deep electronic music.

Beyond his performances, Whyon1 shares his unique vision through his podcast series, «Limited Space». This mix series serves as an audio manifesto of his selector skills, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in carefully chosen, confined sonic spaces where quality reigns over quantity.

He believes that music is the pulse of time, and the DJ is the one who makes that pulse beat in unison with the hearts of the listeners.
