Shoal @ GIMIC - 03 May 2025

Next up in our mix series is Shoal, a Dutch producer and DJ who recently relocated to Prague. Known for his hypnotic, emotionally layered sound, Shoal crafts deep, transportive journeys through trippy textures, modular synthesizers, and rolling rhythms. A core member of the ISOTOOP collective, he’s performed at leading underground spots like De School, Tresor, and Ratherlost. His releases on labels like Tikita, Harmony Recordings, Monument, our own Ute.Rec, and most recently Animalia, continue to expand and refine his unique sonic voice within the scene.

In this mix, Shoal delivers a 1.5-hour live set full of acid-dripping techno, spacey atmospheres, and heads-down minimalism. It’s a slow-burning, carefully building mix that captures the raw live sounds and subtle depth that define his sound. A live-set working just as much the mind as the body.

Ute Mix Series #105 | Shoal (live)

Delighted to welcome Utrecht’s Vand to The Observatory, one of our favorite artists <3

From falling in love with his collaborative EP Laren with Bas Dobbelaer, all the way through to his recently released Trialism EP on ISOTOOP (a collective now turned record label, which he’s at the helm of), Vand’s sound has truly captured our heart.

With lush ambient soundscapes coupled with driving grooves, this mix encapsulates everything we love about electronic music <3

Sales Notes:

Alpenglühen continues to establish itself as a trusted source for forward-thinking ambient techno with its latest vinyl release, introducing Vanertia, the new collaborative alias from Vand and  !nertia. This debut offering fuses the distinctive sonic DNA of both artists into a deeply textured and rhythmically intricate EP.

The record draws heavily from the dub techno tradition, with spacious delay lines and submerged chord stabs setting the tone across all tracks. Yet it’s the subtle interplay between syncopated grooves and classic 4x4 pulse that gives the record its driving energy. The percussion is detailed and organic, riding a bed of carefully sculpted low-end that never overwhelms but always supports the movement.

The result is a hypnotic, immersive listen that balances club functionality with introspective richness.

With Vanertia, Vand and !nertia have laid the groundwork for what promises to be a highly fruitful collaboration

Out in July, 2025

Vanertia_ Kronicles [Alpenglühen 010]

Much like a being gliding through a dimly lit forest, smoothly shifting between the trees, and branches. Never once announcing themselves, or giving undue attention to itself until necessary. The aptly named Hunter builds and builds tension ever so higher before giving way in the final moments where all eyes shine on the scene ahead. Through deft use of chimes, flutes and guttural melodic growls, the atmosphere is kept to that of an untamed land, fraught with excitement and the unknown. With all elements elevated by the choice of a half-time tempo, adding rhythm and a delightful sense of energy.

Though the moniker may be new, the artists behind it are no stranger to the scene or Delayed. Vand and !nertia have joined forces under Vanertia for a four track release titled Kronicles, forthcoming as the latest chapter on the lovely Alpenglühen imprint. Both artists' sounds are represented well here, with Vand bringing his signature dubbed out vibes, that compliment, and are expounded on by !nertia’s more atmospheric and hypnotic moods.

Be on the lookout for Vanertia’s ‘Kronicles’ release on vinyl via Alpenglühen on July 18th.

Oslated Mix Episode 88 - Ntogn

* Vinyl only mix.

Hypnus Records
Bålsta
Sweden

Ntogn is a techno project developed by Hypnus Records' founder Michel (b. 1988, Sweden) since early 2013. It aims to weave together modern sound design techniques with a fascination for dragons, shamanism and the occult. This has resulted in what Resident Advisor's William Lynch describes as "fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there" and a discography ranging from hard repetitive deep techno to dark, throbbing ambient excursions.

As a DJ-performer, meticulous care is given to harmony and progression in order to create a comprehensive and captivating journey through melodic ambience to harsher hypnotic techno currents. Over the last few years, this has earned Ntogn the recognition not only as a respected label manager and eccentric producer, but also as an inspiring DJ appearing in several prominent clubs around the world such as Khidi (Tbilisi) and Elysia (Basel).

His most recent 12-inch record Sathurnus: I (2017) caught a notable 4/5 review on Resident Advisor and scattered projects over the previous years include a collaboration with fellow Hypnus adepts Luigi Tozzi and Feral, remix duty on Retina.IT's vinyl EP Octagon and a VA appearance alongside the Swedish techno phenomenon Shxcxchcxsh.

Hypnus Records 의 설립자 Michel (b. 1998, 스웨덴) 이 2013년 초부터 시작한 테크노 프로젝트, 이름하야 Ntogn. 이 프로젝트는 용, 샤머니즘, 주술에 대한 그의 열정을 바탕으로 현대적 사운드를 조합해내는 것에 초점을 두고 있다. Resident Advisor 의 William Lynch 가 그를 묘사한 글에 따르면 ​"어쩌면 이 세상 밖의 것으로 들리기까지 하는... 예술적이며 때로는 한없이 매서운 테크노.” 그리고 반복적이며 강한 사운드의 딥테크노부터 때로는 어두운 분위기로 심장을 요동치게 하는 앰비언트까지, 꾹꾹 담아낸 그의 디스코그라피에서 이 면모를 확인해볼 수 있으리라.

고운 선율로 시작해 거칠고 최면을 거는 듯한 음악으로. 이 흐름 속에서 디제이는 음악의 조화와 진화에 대한 섬세한 이해를 바탕으로 관객을 매료시킨다. 몇 년에 걸쳐 Ntogn 은 유능한 레이블 매니저, 개성 있는 프로듀서 였을 뿐 아니라, Khidi (Tbilisi), Elysia (Basel) 등 세계적으로 저명한 클럽에서 플레이하며 영향력 있는 DJ 로도 인정받고 있다.

 그의 가장 최근 12인치 바이닐 음반, Sarthurnus: I (2017)은 Resident Advisor 에서 4/5 의 평가를 받았으며, 이 외에 콜라보레이션 음반을 포함해 근 수년간 진행한 프로젝트에는 Luigi Tozzi, Feral 과 함께한 Hypnus Adepts, Retina.IT 의 바이닐 EP Octagon, 그리고 주목받고 있는 스웨덴 테크노 아티스트 Shxcxchcxsh 와 참여한 VA 앨범 등이 있다.

Jongmin Lee [Oslated] : I think your music and Hypnus records albums are very oriental.
Are you interested in oriental philosophy?

Michel [Ntogn, Hypnus Records] : I used to read some books about oriental philosophy a few years ago.
Especially taoism but of course also quite a bit about hinduism, buddhism, zen, some Tibetan doctrines and other westernized interpretations of it all like Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle.
Regarding oriental influences on Hypnus I think Feral and Primal Code has been somewhat inspired by Asian culture, nature and thinking.

Jongmin Lee [Oslated] : 당신의 음악과 Hypnus Records 의 앨범들에서 “동양적이다” 라는 느낌을 많이 받았다. 혹시 동양철학에 관심이 있는지 궁금하다.

Michel [Ntogn, Hypnus Records] : 몇 년전부터 동양철학에 관한 책들을 좀 읽곤 했다. 주로 도교 관련 서적들을 읽었는데, 힌두교, 불교, 선 (일본식 불교), 티벳 종교 그리고 서양적 해석이 가미된 Alan Watts 나 Eckhart Tolle 같은 것도 읽어 보았다.
Hypnus Records 가 동양적 성격을 띄는 부분은 Feral 과 Primal Code 가 동양 문화, 자연 및 사상에서 다소 영향을 받았다고 생각한다.
