@vandmusic nice DE9 Transitions vibe 🛸

As the year winds down, we wanted to send you off with a bang – a deep, rumbling bang delivered straight from the Utrecht underground by the one and only Vand. We've known this sonic sorcerer for ages, watching him transform from a bright Dutch talent to an artist whose output has been recognized and cherished in underground scenes worldwide. 

Over the years, Vand has made a reputation for himself as a producer who is equally prolific working alongside like-minded piers like Bas Dobbelaer, Alfred Czital, and Shoal, as well as working solo where he conjures deep, dubby adventures that twist and turn like Escher sketches, always one step ahead of the dancefloor drone.
Releases on labels like Something Happening Somewhere, Nyame, Alpenglühen, Harmony Rec, and Konstrukt speak for themselves. 

Speaking of labels, Vand just launched ISOTOOP, a sonic beacon birthed from the ashes of a great event collective (initially founded by Van Anh and featuring Ben Buitendijk, Shoal, and Koen Hoets). Their debut, a Vand & Shoal juggernaut called Voal, has been on heavy rotation in our HQ and has found its way to crates of many DJs worldwide.

With that fresh fire in our ears, we present you with Vand's mix for us – a darkroom dub journey built for late-night explorations. Buckle up because this isn't a stroll in the park; it's a 200km/h Autobahn voyage on cruise control, smooth as silk yet peppered with enough twists and turns to keep your heart hammering. Deep bass dives will massage your soul, dubby echoes will swirl around your head, and when you think you've got it figured out, Vand throws in a curveball that'll leave you grinning like a Cheshire cat.
This mix is a reminder that the best journeys often take you to unexpected places. And hey, who knows what 2024 holds for Vand and ISOTOOP? One thing's for sure: we'll be right here, front row and center, ready to lose ourselves in the sound.

"For this mix, i tried to make something deep but also groovy and powerful, still keeping the bpm low, from 119 to 125"

Into The Abyss #052 | Velvia

For our fourteenth installement we've invited Noah Lyas, an artist passionate about making refined ceramics and composing deep atmospheric rhythms.

Malii grew up in a house where music was always on because of two passionate parents who shared a large record collection with their children. With a father as a musician, early contact with different instruments was made as well as performing arts.

Later in life, around the age of twenty, after many dances in night clubs with friends, Malii started to make his own music focussing on soft percussive rhythms and lush atmospheres, finding inspiration in different kinds of music and sometimes movies.

The first two releases, “Before the Horizon” and “Obsidian”, were the starting point of Noah Lyas, his pseudonym, and the beginning of his record label called “Profundo Collective”.

Some words about this mix:
"In the tapestry of music, deep rhythms are the threads that weave together our primal connection to sound. They are the heartbeat of cultures, the pulse of life that reverberates through our bodies and souls. Picture the steady, resonant thump of a drum, echoing through the night air. It's more than just a sound; it's a call to movement, an invitation to dance."

HYPNOSIS 014 NOAH LYAS

Ten years of On Board Music—it speaks for itself. We’ve been collaborating with them almost since the beginning, watching them grow steadily while staying true to their values—thoughtful curation, long-term relationships, and a real commitment to the artists they work with. Reaching a decade in this industry without compromising is something worth celebrating.

For their anniversary compilation, they brought together a group of artists who reflect that spirit. Among them is Jin Synth, whose track Self Navigation adds a spacious, introspective layer to the release. We first met Jin at Mostra Festival a few years ago and have been following her work since—whether through her releases, her live performances, or the way she approaches sound as something deeply hands-on. She also contributed a guest mix to our series, offering another glimpse into her precise, layered style.

In this conversation with Theresa Bäumel, Jin shares more about her background in sound art, her process of building custom instruments, and how she stays grounded in a constantly shifting scene.

Interview + Tracklist

Delayed with... Jin Synth

BLNDFLD is part of a new wave of artists giving deep techno a more textured, introspective edge. Hailing from Tbilisi and co-running Spira Records, he’s been quietly building a reputation through releases on labels like Bahn, Circular Limited, and Indefinite Pitch. His sound is patient and immersive, built on subtle shifts, rich atmospheres, and grooves that pull you in rather than push. Whether he’s behind the decks at Bassiani or Laut in Barcelona, there’s a consistent thread: a focus on flow, mood, and storytelling that runs deeper than just the tracklist.

His mix for "Delayed with…" fits that ethos perfectly. It’s smooth, layered, and full of movement, balancing broken tribal rhythms with dubby textures and just enough melody to keep things bright. There’s a kind of quiet confidence in how it unfolds, like it knows exactly where it’s going without rushing to get there. It feels made for those first warm days of spring - windows down, sun out, maybe a rooftop gathering in full swing. If you’re looking for a mix that hits that sweet spot between deep listening and casual vibe, this one’s got you covered.

There is a big black heart in Barcelona that it is still beating. Three weeks later, we’re still digesting the magic that was the fourth edition of Mostra festival. From the most intimate listening moments to collective catharsis on the dancefloor, this year was something else.

Starting from the end this year, we’re proud to present the recorded closing set from Mostra's resident ABSIS, who delivered a deeply emotional finale that distilled everything Mostra stands for: a blend of force, finesse, energy and passion — all woven into one.

Across four editions, countless moments, different days and stages, ABSIS has always been there: reading the different dance floors, adapting, connecting the dots between sound and feelings. Being a resident is more than just playing; it’s embodying the festival’s pulse, giving it identity and continuity, and raising the collective experience to another level.

If you’ve journeyed with Mostra through the years, you know how central ABSIS (alongside Timnah and Patrick Russell) has been to shaping that Mostra spirit. If you haven’t yet, you may find the chance next year.

And now, for the first time: ABSIS closing the festival. A powerful tribute to what it means to support the local scene, not just by listing names from the city, but by creating moments like this one that matters.

MNMT Recordings : ABSIS @ Mostra closing 2025 - Barcelona

For this month's Unrush mix, we're excited to feature Eric Cloutier - a true digger with a deep history in the scene and an ear for detail. His 90-minute guest mix flows through warm, textured ambient with darker, rhythmic turns: subtle, patient, and always engaging.

Cloutier’s path has taken him from Detroit to New York, where his years as a regular at The Bunker New York helped shape his distinct style: deep, body-oriented music with a strong sense of narrative. Now based in Berlin and a resident at Tresor, he continues to bring that same focus and depth to clubs and listeners around the world.

With a straightforward, no-nonsense approach, he has spent years honing his craft. His label Palinoia - named after the act of repeating something until it’s mastered - reflects that mindset: a home for stripped-back, dubby techno and lesser-known talent that fits seamlessly into his sets.

A true digger with an ear for detail — this mix is one to sit with...

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/cloutier

PREMIERE: Fabrizio Spachuk - Tu Felicidad (Original Mix)

True Romance dives into seductive, late-night territory, where groove meets emotion. Anchored by a hypnotic bassline and crisp percussion, lush pads unfold like neon reflections on wet pavement. Cinematic and intimate, the track captures the essence of Twiins: refined, understated, and deeply immersive. Nothing is wasted, every element is essential. Designed for the club, but meant to linger long after the lights come up.
