When Belgian DJ/Producer, Madloch, agreed to our guest mix invitation, we knew we would be in for a treat.

Madloch has been into the melodic side of house and techno since the late 90’s. It was around that time that he decided to learn to spin vinyl. By the early 2000’s, he had begun to play to audiences across his native Belgium, opening for the likes of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Matthew Dekay, and others. As his career progressed, Madloch traveled to gigs across Europe, North and South America. 

Soon, the production bug got him; here, his first real break came with his progressive track “Mitinique”, garnering support by none other than Hernan Cattaneo himself. A year later, Madloch created the now popular label, Sound Avenue. Indeed, this label became so busy, that he started two sub-labels, 3rd Avenue and Crossfade Sounds. He has collaborated with many arists over the past decade, including Cid Inc, Lonya, Roger Martinez and others.

Here at Institution, we have been following Madloch’s productions and mixes for the past several years. His blend of progressive, organic, and deep house is always unique, and always satisfies. This exclusive mix is no exception.

Human, dreamer and melody lover.

Grammik’s (aka Aris Grammenos) involvement with electronic music started almost two decades ago. At 18 years old, Aris began spinning vinyl at local bars and clubs around his native Athens. His first release came out under his real name on No Border Recordings (2008) with numerous followup tracks on Sound Of Everything and Proton Limited.

In 2016 his first EP was released, under his current artist name “Grammik”, on Eyes Of The Owl Recordings with the title “New Tomorrow” , followed up by a remix on the same label. 

Grammik’s breakthrough came in 2020 when he joined the well-respected Steyoyoke Records family. “White Heart”, “Kalopsia”, “Vast Space”, and “Abroad” - his recent collaborative release together with Montreal’s Monarke – have all added to the techno-oriented, yet dreamy and melodic Steyoyoke sound.

He is well known for his built up dj sets that can begin from electronica and finish up to techno.

Question: What inspires you?
Grammik: I’m inspired by “everything that can make my mind dream and my heart sing" 

Get this mix in your ears as soon as you can. Institution 066: Grammik is a melodic techno beauty.

Berlin-based Mona Moore has been a passionate lover of electronic music since the year 2000. Sooner or later, she just had to venture behind the decks. She had her debut in what she now calls "her living room" - the iconic Berlin club, KaterBlau. Since then, she has performed innumerable times both within and outside of the capital. 

Over the last year or so, Moore has entered the production side of things with original releases on Katz&Kauz and Rebellion der Traumer. Mona describes her music as describes a deep, groovy and melodic techno / deep house. Her philosophy when she is playing: "Sharing the love of music and thereby forgetting a few hours of space and time"

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Graeme Sims combines his eclectic taste of deep rolling grooves, dark beats, and sweeping melodies across progressive house, melodic house, melodic techno, deep house, techno and more.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Joris Voorn, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Simon Doty, Guy J, Miss Monique, and Nick Curly, Graeme extends his sonic narrative through his radio show: SIMANTICS RADIO. This show serves as a nexus for the latest trends in the progressive scene, interlaced with timeless classics and Graeme's unique spin. 

We have had the opportunity to meet Graeme and see him play (most recently, at Toronto's preeminent progressive club, CODA): super nice, humble, down to earth guy, and he gets a dance floor moving! Mr Sims, thanks so much for making us this exclusive guest mix, Institution 082: Graeme Sims!

With a production career spanning almost a decade, Brazilian-born, Barcelona-based Pedro Capelossi has forged a distinctive sound which focuses on inventive use of atmosphere and rhythm, drawing the lines between global dance cultures without adhering to any fixed formula.

In 2023 he founded his own musical imprint REFRACTION RECORDS.  Representing some of the world’s most avant-garde visual artists, designers and musicians, REFRACTION blurs the boundaries between house, techno and its closely related derivatives.

Pablo Bolivar's Seven Villas has been a primary vehicle for Pedro's far-reaching work, with additional projects on Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, Madloch’s Sound Avenue, Loot Recordings, TOR (When We Dip) and Hoomidas Records. Over the years, Pedro's tracks have been supported by names such as Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Eelke Kleijn, Pablo Bolívar, Armen Miran, Matt Darrey and Airwave.

Capelossi’s DJ performances focus on underground dub house and dub techno, deep house, minimal and downtempo. His versatility to move between different styles depending on audience and event, allows him to perform club gigs as well as festivals. He has played innumerable events both in his current home of Barcelona, as well as back in São Paulo, and, indeed, around the world.

We have been following Pedro for years now, and are honoured that he agreed to make us this exclusive guest mix, Institution 085: Pedro Capelossi!

We are very thankful to Romania’s Adrian Stanescu - aka ADRIEN(RO) – for creating this exclusive guest mix, Institution 013: Adrien (Ro)!

Adrian found his passion for music at a young age: for his birthday, he received a vinyl album from his grandfather called “Your Love”, by the famous Frankie Knuckles. This gift set the stage for Adrian’s lifelong musical journey.

ADRIEN (RO) now has 10 years’ experience with both DJing and producing. His “Imagination”EP [Magician on Duty] has achieved international acclaim. Indeed, he has gained support from the likes of Lee Burridge, Hoj, Gorje Hewek & Izhevski, Lost Desert, and Kora. 

ADRIEN (RO) doesn’t follow trends. He plays melodic sounds to touch the soul, while throwing in surprise elements to create a memorable experience. This mix - with several as yet unreleased tracks - is no exception. Please enjoy the journey. 

Thank you, Adrian!!

Anyone into the dark and dirty side of progressive house and techno knows the name Rick Pier O’neil (aka RPO). 

Rick Pier O’Neil has a 30 year history in the music scene. He DJ’ed his first club in his native France at the age of 14. He created his first studio at 16, and immediately began a hugely productive career in music production, remixing and mastering.  He has worked for labels such as Sony Music, Polygram, Universal and Motown, and has remixed for artists such as Kool and the Gang, Stevie Wonder, Donna Summer, Lenny Kravitz, Ultra Nate, Cee Penniston amongst others! 

Eventually, whilst relocating to Barcelona, and subsequently to Mexico, Rick Pier O’Neil started his own music label. Soon, his tracks from RPO Records and GARBAGE Records were supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Anthony Pappa, Danny Tenaglia, John Digweed, and Steve Lawler. Amazingly, over the years, he has produced and created over 500 titles!

Originally a child of soul music and techno, RPO has now settled into his signature dark progressive sound. We are beyond honoured that this internationally acclaimed DJ/producer accepted our invitation for a guest mix. Turn this one up to 11!

Our newest guest mix is by Sri Lankan DJ/Producer, Subandrio. His parents immersed him in the music scene since a young age, and he has never looked back. In fact, his career has been in steady ascent since the 1990s. Subandrio plays regularly around the world, as well as in his home country. Anyone into the international progressive house and techno scene will be familiar with his name, and with his quality productions (including releases on labels such as Sudbeat Music, Balance Music, Beatfreak Recordings, Mango Alley, 3rd Avenue, ICONYC, and many others).

Our Institution crew had the great fortune to dance to a live set by Subandrio, (back-to-back with his fellow countryman Nishan Lee) in Amsterdam at the intimate Modern Agenda boat party, 2018. He is super entertaining to watch, with his subtle smile and nod as he plays. Listen to this mix: his dark and groovy progressive style will surely reveal itself to you as well.
