There were concerns about a possible lack of German voices in this collection but acid legend Carlos Souffront came to our rescue and his exclusive “Europe from Detroit” mix dispels them in the most unexpected, poignant and concise way possible. Kraftwerk’s 1977 “Trans-Europe-Express” imagined the continent as a haven of post-historical nostalgia. We asked Carlos to reimagine Europe as a province of Detroit in order to invert the usual perspective.
Often, the Motor City is an object of European musical desire, filled to the brim with projections even, and especially if there is post-industrial desolation to be admired. Let’s try it the other way around. The mix expertly strides between delicacy and a sense of impending dread that culminates in a brief sequence where German history unmistakably rears its ugly head. But there is life beyond that, there has to be. This is not a mind trip, this is a body journey.

CARLOS SOUFFRONT - Europe From Detroit

The first time we'd ever heard of Carlos Souffront was in 2006, when Derek Plaslaiko was encouraging us to book him for our first 3/03 acid party (alongside Mark Verbos).  Derek would not shut up about a party in Detroit where Carlos just played Aphex Twin (and his many aliases) vinyl all night long and demolished the place.  So it only followed that we should invite him to play an all acid set on 3/03.  Carlos of course was phenomenal that night and has been a regular guest at The Bunker ever since.  Earlier this year, when Aphex Twin began uploading a seemingly endless stream of unreleased tracks to Soundcloud, it was Derek once again who called us and said: you HAVE to ask Carlos do a mix of this stuff for The Bunker Podcast.  Carlos obliged and did this mix for us live in one take (after a surprise practice session on RBMA radio).  Enjoy!

“Wide mode on, master tempo off. Let’s ride.” - Razrbark 

it always feels like a special day when there’s a new razrbark mix hitting the web, like a rare delicious sweet treat being gifted to us all. i’m not sure when i first discovered razrbark, perhaps a few years ago as it feels like we’ve been connected online forever (but who can keep track of time these days?), however, the day that i did was like unearthing a hidden gem. based in new york, razrbark has an approach to djing that comes from years of dedication to the dancefloor & being raver first and foremost. there’s a heat to her mixes that come from the warm glow of the tracks that she selects, the sludgy pace that allows you to practice patience and savour every bite, absorbing the mystical kinetic energy that is channeled through every record. from her contributions to ccl’s subglow, down2earth and distant signals mix series, the esoteric the lot radio sessions to the live recordings from iconic gigs such as the much-loved honcho campout and sorry records at bossa nova civic club, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into. 

another contribution to the world of razrbark, her 909 mix starts of humid with a chugging energy that comes with tracks slowed all the way down before flowing into an otherworldly selection of dreamy, acidic techno, creating a light respite from the steamy intro before ending on a grungy note. you can hear the references from one of razrbark’s key influences, buffy the vampire slayer. if the bronze booked djs, this is what they would play.

Live from Neukölln: We welcome new show Euromatic Tales! Mike Tansella Jr. for the last hour!

Euromatic Tales w. Mike Tansella Jr. [20.10.25]

The 17th Virtual Utopia update has been created by Mexico-based sonic scientist Gerhard (@esenciamx) - A DJ  who’s sound has been immersed in a positive floating ambience that has always been a great inspiration to us here at the Dream Software corporation. Also known for being the head engineer of the Escensia blog and mix series- a constant emission of quality sine-wave based content with a trademark euphoric infusion.

A two-hour audible offering illustrating scenes of a utopian future. An existence imbued with hope and optimism where cooling airs and a warming sun remind us of the balance needed to exist in harmony here. Comforting pads and ethereal softness drift amongst the various genres and tempos that really make this mix a beautiful sonic landscape. We hope you enjoy it.

Many thanks Gerhard for contributing to the mix series <3

Lino Capra Vaccina live at Waking Life 2025

In a book about the Japanese tea ceremony, the author explains:

‘Great attention should be given to a tea gathering, which we can speak of as "one time, one meeting" (ichi-go, ichi-e). Even though the host and guests may see each other often socially, one day's gathering can never be repeated exactly. Viewed this way, the meeting is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.’

It is very similar with DJing. Each time it is different and distinctive. I was so happy to have this ‘once-in-a-lifetime occasion’ on Saturday at the Moon stage of Draaimolen Festival 2025. It was a wonderful opportunity to share a lot of music full of meaning and memories. My sincere thanks to all those who joined and made this gathering possible. I hope you enjoy listening to what happened.

@ambu_bambu with this months Smoke mix.
With their radioshow ‘’Electronic Idenntity Crises’’ on Relate Radio and their newest endeavor ‘’fruit salad’’ they’re building a world consisting of ambient, experimental electronica and multi-sensory gatherings.

For this Smoke mix they created a heartfelt beautiful journey through embracing difference and wanting to belong. A tension between darkness & release guided by warped sonics and melancholic melodies, a musical reflection about floating in between.

Thanks Amber for this beautiful mix<3

Techno Ruined My Life: The Hostile Ambient Takeover Mix (Excerpt)

For this issue we are beside ourselves to present a live mix from Carlos Souffront (Interdimensional Transmissions/No Way Back), shepherding dancers through the strange hours of the night at the July 6, 2017 Surface Tension with Drew McDowall and Hiro Kone. The selections wend a path through a sonic labyrinth of underground burrows and secret doors with unblinking confidence; in this garden of forking paths, left turns are always the safest bet. 
 
Carlos cut his teeth on Detroit radio, curates cheeses in San Francisco, and DJs around the world.

No tracklist, sorry :)

Surface Tension Podcast 25- Carlos Souffront

http://interdimensionaltransmissions.com/podcast

The second podcast in the IT field recording series hails from IT's DEMF party for 2011, Too Far Gone… No Way Back. The concept of Too Far Gone being a more free-for-the-mind music, but still totally lost in it, going from door opening until 12:30, when the party would switch into full gear as No Way Back. We had done this once before at the Tielab loft with Adult. and Perspects, and for this year we enlisted 3 ultra heads to share the decks, Carlos Souffront, Macho City's Scott Zacharias, and Sal P of NYC, Liquid Liquid et al. The place was decked out, the sound was perfect, everything was flowing to be an amazing party when a misinformed task force looking for underage drinkers showed up, netting no one but tragically ending the evening. Thus we call this last 90 minutes of Too Far Gone the only evidence of "the greatest party that never was".
