Smoke Machine Podcast 154 A Strange Wedding

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

Sure Thing Mix 146: Cio D'Or

LF58 is the collaborative consciousness of techno maestro Neel and sonic explorer Filippo Scorcucchi. Initially beginning the project with a blissful release on Auxiliary, the duo has since gone on to release three legendary albums on Astral Industries. The modular synth masters are revered for their ability to sculpt sound into expansive, architectural forms, building entire worlds from celestial drones and intricate textures.

This mix is music for the deep cosmos of the mind; an ambient transmission designed to dissolve time and space. Patient and deep, the set serves as a soundtrack for drifting through the quiet solitude of space, floating in a sonic vessel built by two masters of atmosphere.

«The Japanese artist OCCA embodies that spirit with his solid trajectory, and his set at Mostra 2025 was perhaps the best example of how an electronic journey can be as original as it is absorbing, as nuanced and layered as it is genre-defying. Tracks unfolded with a sensitivity that challenged the very logic of convention.»

«El artista japonés OCCA encarna este espíritu con su sólida trayectoria, y su set en la edición de Mostra de este 2025 es, posiblemente, el mejor ejemplo de cómo se conjuga un viaje electrónico tan original como absorbente, tan sugerente como lleno de matices y géneros electrónicos, con tracks y una sensibilidad musical que desafían la lógica de lo convencional.»

After a summer of traveling across Europe and some truly beautiful festivals, Irina and Gilles wanted this mix to capture a few moods that slowly evolve - starting in introspective ambient and rising toward peak-time techno and hypnotic breaks. Longer mixes let that story unfold patiently, and they hope this one keeps you company wherever you listen from.

Next up in our mix series is Human Space Machine. Hailing from Amsterdam, the dutchman has found his way into electronic music by channeling movement into rhythmical cadences, crafting a sound that exists at the intersection of techno, house, and experimental electronic music. His productions are often trippy yet inviting, and released on respected labels like Nous’klaer Audio and De Lichting, the latter which he co-founded. 

In this mix Mike takes us on a 1,5 hour voyage through moisty atmospheres. Slick underwater grooves meets slimey deep cave techno, in a masterclass of mysterious and murky world-building and slow tension manipulation. Momentum gradually rising, via twisted acid and waterlogged minimalism.

Ute Mix Series #113 | Human Space Machine

We are honored to have Czech DJ Marie Pradva join our mix series. Marie tells us: This mix was recorded at an event in Ankali club, in coldancefloor with my favorite crew from the Seismic label. I had the pleasure of playing at their festival this summer, but unfortunately, my set was cut short by the police — and to make matters worse, the recording was lost.

With this set, I finally had the chance to make up for it. It takes listeners on a proper journey: starting with deep ambient sounds to set the mood of the night, gradually building energy as the dancefloor fills, and eventually diving into the heavy 140 BPM swamp.

"Playing the Sunday morning closing set at Robot Heart at my first Burning Man was one of the most touching and rewarding moments of my musical adventure so far. I have always made music with the desert in mind, and this felt somehow like coming home, sharing it in the perfect environment. 

The manifestation of an intention - a full circle. 

Thanks to everybody who believes in my work and has helped me get this far on my journey, and to all the beautiful souls and amazing creatures who shared this moment and made it a special morning.  

Much love"

The third element of the series is by Hydrangea aka Horty Shooter. Expect a deep and warm musical experience.

Hydrangea is a new French electronic producer, doing techno music deeply inspired by nature and its surroundings. She began producing music in early 2014, influenced mainly by the deep and hypnotic Italian techno.

Besides being constantly preoccupied in reshaping her sound and developing new ways of expression through music, she's also a graphic designer and photographer under the alias Horty Shooter, managing the artworks for different music releases and graphic art projects.

Introspective, nostalgic and hypnotic. These are the adjectives that describe the sounds of the young Italian duo Primal Code. 
Gabriele and Davide come from Milano, a musically very active city to form artistically. They immediately jumped into the scene with slow melodies and sumptuous grooves found in their first EP "Eteru", released by Hypnus Records. Last January they reconfirmed themselves with the second EP "Artemisia", this time on Konstrukt, which is getting an excellent response. 
A lot of other their original tracks can be listened on “the Memoir” podcast series, where you can find a focus hour of their whole music.
A personal and musical experience emerges in the songs, creating an atmosphere in which all listeners’ senses are involved and projecting them into a sentimental level. Their music is an expression of a primordial instinct that dwells in all of us.

INVEINS \ Podcast 038 \ Primal Code

Inveins reflect an assembly of music and caresses, circle of emotions, release of notes, passions without limits.

The cycle of music, the essence of origin, the dynamic frequency bass and treble, has never been defined dependence, but rather recognized by us, the best solution to our mood, our soul and our body at the same time and that is why it confuses us and we exudes warmth, passion and gives chills.

Inveins wants to bring in our minds, great ideas and philosophies never granted,
hugs the body and casings substrates.
