IO Podcast Series Episode 032 mixed by [Phøbiq].

-

Enthusiast from Ukraine.

About the mix:
If we describe the mix in a nutshell, it's ambient and hypnotic techno combined with sounds of the living nature.
The main purpose of this mix is to bring the listener a little closer to nature. At least one step. As much as possible through music. The singing of birds, the murmur of water, the buzzing of insects and the noise of the wind are organically woven into the tracks throughout the mix.

It's like a leisurely walk through a summer forest, when we deeply breathe fresh air, admire the views and try to hear every sound that nature gives us.

IO Podcast Series Episode 046 mixed by Binary Thoughts.
@binarythoughts

-

Binary Thoughts is an electronic music duo from Macedonia, currently based in Skopje. Their name may speak for itself, but there is a much deeper meaning embedded within. Currently, they are exploring the vast horizons of deep and hypnotic soundscapes intending to create their unique blend of creativity to start producing their music.
The ancestral way of thinking has always been 'binary'. To understand nature and all its phenomena, we made a world of oppositions (day/night, sun/moon, male/female). Where the law of "all or nothing” rules, there is no in-between. But the reality is indeed always more complex and more interconnected than what our 'perception' of the world suggests.
This perception beyond this “all or nothing” connected Ana Bogatinovska and Jovana Gjorgievska. At first strangers to each other, they met at a music festival in their native country; And after a long discussion about electronic music, they've decided to do a project that will connect their somewhat different but similar taste in electronic music.
Their melancholic, delicate and hypnotic sounds use 'binary thinking' as a motor to press on to a third term or a higher category that represents a transcending reconciliation or unity: where thesis and antithesis are always harnessed to yield a synthesis. Where seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary: Yin and Yang.

Podcast 046 - BINARY THOUGHTS

IO Podcast Series Episode 047 mixed by Ronny Pinazza.
https://soundcloud.com/garradorada

-

Born and raised between the fantastic mountain valleys of the Italian Dolomites and the industrial city of Ludwigshafen in Germany.
Spent most of his childhood playing in the woods. This past still connects him inseparably from nature and its forms of life. He tries to convey this feeling of the infinite timelessness of the soul of nature with music in an understandable language. Words can only approximate this.
His DJ sets are always driving, ritualistic. Natural sounds and hypnotic melodies allow the listener to reach another state of consciousness. This is how he describes his vision: “when time and space lose their meaning, when everyone is connected in unison to the music, united in one energy bubble, then the perfect state is reached.
No thought separates us from the great unit. Only knowledge and joy move us to the beat“. His productions are experimental, unorthodox. Since he is not a musician, he uses this "ignorance" and the freedom that results from it. Hypnotic rhythms and driving beats characterize his tracks, always filled with natural sounds.
The listener is transported in a space that seems to exist between the stars. Deep in his heart he believes in infinity and that time and space are only imaginations. His goal is to express these inner feelings with music, so in 2021 he set out to develop his musical language.
“This journey will be endless, full of universes yet to be explored and they are all within us“.

We are happy to introduce a great friend of our collective, Vanta. In this special podcast, he mixes hypnotic techno with drum & bass in an exciting arrangement that blends the boundaries of the two genres.
Many of the members of IO produced drum & bass before they started with techno. Therefore, it makes us even happier to share this creative masterpiece, as it references a part of our musical journey.

-

Originally from a metalcore and hardcore background he has always enjoyed electronic and experimental music. Delving deep in the unknown space of impulsive rhythms, dissociative sounds and dark and eerie atmospheres, his goal ist to mesmerize the listeners with his productions and DJ- Sets. He has been establishing his soundscapes in the local and international scene since 2019. Releasing on labels like Charybdis, Further Sessions, KVLTÖ Records and Deflection Music just to name a few. With more releases insight he will be working on further developing his signature sound.

In their second concept album, Kaf and MTRL embark on a mental journey, critically examining the fiction of space colonization and resource mining. Through their music, they challenge the fallacies of human dominion over celestial bodies and prompt introspection into the ethical consequences of resource exploitation beyond Earth. Their narrative urges us to reassess our relationship with the cosmos, embrace interconnectedness, and prioritize responsible stewardship. Kaf and MTRL's audacious exploration serves as a cautionary tale, calling for a paradigm shift towards sustainability, empathy, and reverence for the wonders of the universe.

Since 2017 he was a Resident DJ at the recently closed Harry Klein Club, a Munich Techno institution, where he also created the PERRAS parties together with Louis EMP, MRTI and Manuel Loewe. Both as a DJ and party host he draws on a wide range of genres and moods, always with a focus on disinhibition and escapism.

In addition to his residency at Harry Klein, he also played in venues such as Rote Sonne (Munich), Disco Zwei (Mannheim) and Zur Klappe (Berlin). For this mix he went back to his roots which lie in deep, pulsing, sometimes wistful and haunting Techno, with subtle House-ish accents appearing sometimes. He included some tracks he has been listening to and playing for quite some time, paired with fresh releases, sparkling percussions and hypnotic dance floor bombs. Have a listen and enjoy this gem of a mix with us!

Darris Hopper is a project by our dear friend Alex Tirelli and it's synonymous with highly emotional electronic music, direct to the place where the deepest dreams and mental relaxations are undergone. Down-tempo and ambient glide free over an experimental dialogue, oblivious to modes and fashions, giving rise to an adventure that flees from the darkness and the day to day to immerse us in that long-awaited ideal moment in which to meditate, open the windows inwards, enlightening the interior self and enjoy. State-of-the-art technology, live manipulation, and from the privacy of the studio, at the service of sensations and playful evasion as a first human need in clearly elusive times for lyrical expression.

Ice cannot dim,
in its slowthrum beating pulses,
its hard crackle give,
all that bubbles up through
patches of cold,
pulling on nerves
quivering under touch,
and with it,
wuthering
weatherwell and groundswell
comes clarity

the epiphanies
of carrying hands,
cold to the touch,
bringing fire down
the line, down
the drum, up
the axion, through
the backing roll echoing,
to the place inside
the Place
they told us
was broken,
but is alive
with polyrhythms
no cool grip
could keep out,
nor keep silent.

_______________________________

A sheen, shaped, silver smooth 
ringing go hues bounced against 
the sizzle of shaking 
as the steady siren sings 
a tune to sway all sands 
into dunes and dynamics delivered. 

 The wheel and roll of night air moon 
dew'd backward, the underside is as dry as a chime, 
while the uppermost is a rained as the tallest cave 
that stretches the feel of inside 
as if the costae verae were elastics, 
and the sternum were a bell. 

One that might only sound out 
the metal in the veins, 
like metal under water, 
flowing, fell fathoms far 
along an elliptical path, 
drilling out the cache of concepts, 
corroded and clean, 
shing as beams build out bones 
of sound from the dark kick 
scratching out strange signs 
we cannot deny. 

 And we know. 
We who have heard. 
And felt the raying cosm 
building on scintilance 
a vast canopy that drops 
upon our heads a breaking force 
to set us a'dream, 
that no tone of suspended contact 
between you and those ahead of you in line, 
one place, one minute away 
from a beta phase, 
a sudden turn, 
a slow new, 
a change, 
a chance, 
to come careening slowly 
into air that smells of lavender, 
in a land of yellow grass 
and black stones.

IO Podcast Series Episode 060 mixed by Caldera.
@caldera-caldera

-


For this 60th episode, we invited the talented producer Caldera who enlights us with a very beautiful and deep mix.
If you don't know him yet; since 2012, Caldera has been creating a unique and personal blend of Techno and Bass music with a love for detail and a dedicated sounddesign that immerses listeners into imaginary worlds.
His experiments with drums and rhythms result in grooves that explore a deeper side of dance music while leaving bpm and genre restrictions behind.
Caldera's creations have found a home on labels such as Berlin's Nummer Music, Chicago's Kimochi Sound and Bristol's Pressure Dome while his Loop LF moniker has previously been a mainstay on London based Well Steet Records.
Right now we're eagerly waiting for his upcoming release on @melifera_records.

When we asked the artist for a few words about the mix he told us, that the inspiration for it stemmed from a preference for slower, more meditative transitions and a deliberate, gradual increase in intensity.
The mix aims to evoke a sense of transitioning from the somber winter into the hopeful beginnings of spring, reflecting a personal journey from adversity towards renewal and positivity.

02. Discomfort Dance
03. Spiker Biker

05. Discomfort Dance (Dycide Remix)
06. Spiker Biker (Tenzia Remix)

-

With „Recession Fever,“ FTP Doctor presents an EP that captures the soundtrack of our troubled times. Four unique tracks reflect the challenges and tensions of a society marked by recession and uncertainty.

The EP kicks off with „Glitter Jitter,“ a track that wraps the chaos of modern life within its modulating textured beats. „Discomfort Dance“ continues this journey, guiding the listener through a raw soundscape that is both unsettling and irresistibly danceable.
„Spiker Biker“ intensifies the ride with a whirling percussive synth pattern on top of a pulsating beat that mirrors the pressure and unpredictability of current times. The EP is rounded off with „Countryside Bounce,“ a track that turns all the stress into a humorous bouncy trip with its experimental clinking textures.
Next to the originals, Dycide‘s remix of „Discomfort Dance“ adds a touch of driving Grey Area energy to the record while Tenzia‘s remix of „Spiker Biker“ turned out as a massive intense stomping machine.

„Recession Fever“ is an acoustic reflection of our era that retains energy and a drive for movement with its raw sound design and unique grooves. A modern turn on dance music with all sorts of twists.

IO Podcast Series Episode 061 mixed by TENO.
@teno222

For the 61st episode of our podcast series, we have a special mix for you, recorded by the the very talented producer TENO from Osaka, Japan. 

TENO’s productions are a vibrant blend of resonating low frequencies and rhythmic grooves, anchored in a very minimal, straight and psychedelic techno; precisely modulating the sound until it merges with the body. His tracks, mostly crafted out of recordings from modular synths, have already seen releases from various labels in several countries. TENO is also one of the cofounders of the label @aumrecordings. 

Since this mix was live recorded at  the opening set of a night in @vent-tokyo, it begins with soothing, organic ambient sounds and gradually transitions to more energetic, percussive beats. This progression mirrors the increasing crowd and the vibrant energy on the dance floor, maintaining the club's immersive and dynamic live atmosphere throughout.

IO Podcast Series Episode 063 mixed by Kontinum and Cylo.

In this exclusive two-hour mix, Kontinum and Cylo come together to explore the unique musical chemistry they discovered just three months ago. Despite their distinct backgrounds, the duo instantly vibed, realizing their diverse influences could create something truly special.
Cylo, originally rooted in the Psy/Tribe spectrum, has since evolved towards IDM and Ambient soundscapes. Meanwhile, Kontinum brings 8 years of deep techno expertise, recently embracing the energy of 160 BPM. In this mix, their artistic paths converge: rather than simply stitching their sounds together, Kontinum and Cylo create a journey that’s both surprising and strangely harmonious. Every transition feels intentional, like a conversation between two old friends who just discovered they speak the same musical language.
Expect a sonic narrative where tension meets release, and dive in with us into this beautiful two-hour-journey.
