Through the "Downers" series, I want to put in light another facet of Techno music that tends to be forgotten nowadays. This slower more minimalistic sound impacted me a lot in my first years as a raver in Berlin and shaped my musical indentity as a DJ. 

Do not expect fast rythms and high energy in these mixes but a more delicate approach, feeling driven, where layering gives another sense to the tracks played and showcase how elegant and beautiful techno music can be. 

Find some of my all time favourite tracks inside, Berghain classics, a 15 minutes Villalobos masterpiece and more recent music fitting the vibe perfectly. 

I hope this mix will touch your soul as much as it touches mine.

Plasmamix #10 by Di²

A 3 h ride through my soul. Starts soft and dreamy, ends with pure techno.

Opening at Fi for DVS1

Lea Occhi is a French DJ based in Berlin, co-founder and resident of the parisian queer collective Spectrum. Where words fail, music speaks. Reserved and solitary, Léa found refuge in music since her childhood. Jazz, soul music or French chansons, family moments usually came and still come hand in hand with music and sharing the joint, somewhat meditative listening experience. 

`` In the heart of summer - a suspended, sensual moment of warmth, smoke dancing at our feet, smiles, love and freedom. Like an ode to harmony and tolerance.``

SEVEN Mix 023 - Lea Occhi

We're back with our Groovebox podcast series. For episode #44 we've invited DJ Chichi, a genre-fluid artist, serves as a Radio Host at Refuge Worldwide, captivating their audience with their versatile and innovative approach to music. 

As the co-founder of xcuse:u collective, they break down genre barriers and encourage collaboration among artists. In Berlin, DJ Chichi co-hosts Starseeds, a queer-friendly party series known for its inclusive atmosphere. Their seamless navigation through diverse genres and advocacy for more inclusivity and solidarity in the music industry make DJ Chichi a trailblazer, shaping the landscape of inclusive and creative spaces in the nightlife scene. 

On the mix: 

A dubby, jazzy mix with a rough, leftfield edge. It’s all about feeling and energy, not perfect sounds. The dancefloor is a place to let go and heal, where the music talks for you. Deep bass, warm jazz, and offbeat rhythms come together to keep things alive and real.

Here’s my opening set I did at Axxon N. in Leipzig. This is a pre-recorded mix I did a couple hours before the event. As I didn’t record anything at the club but got so much positive feedback, I decided to upload this for you to enjoy.

Shout out to my amazing and supportive mom: the last track is for you!

Shimmy Robin Closing for Black Sites at Globus, Tresor July 2025

Anna creates a sound that bridges body and space. Her sets move with the pulse of techno and house, layered with dub textures, creating a sonic experience that is grounded, deliberate, and open to breath.
