2 years after his critically acclaimed “Ultrachroma” album, Kangding Ray returns to ARA with a decisively dance-floor LP named “ZERO”.
As the artwork suggests, his different explorations and influences converge into one point on this record, where sound becomes a raw vibration, precisely engineered to bring bodies into movement.
This record marks both a return to the source of his sound in its purest shape, with hints of his debuts on the experimental label raster-noton, as well as the hypnotic journeys he is now known for with his DJsets.
As an artist who is constantly reshaping his own sound in search of new forms, Kangding Ray offers here a singular take on modern dance music, driven by a visceral and futuristic approach.

“When an audio signal crosses the X-axis, there is an infinitesimal moment of silence. ZERO is inspired by this quiet instant, a point of inversion where vibrations die and are reborn at the same time” . KR

The single “Inertia” is the first glimpse into Signals from the Stars — Vietnamese Paris-based artist https://soundcloud.com/d-k-music’s upcoming EP, due mid-July on Midgar.

There’s something oddly comforting in the idea of a dead star still sending signals — distant, mechanical, yet somehow filled with meaning. Inertia taps into that contradiction: the sensation of being impossibly far from home, yet still drawn toward something vast, unseen, and filled with memory.

Signals from the Stars is now available for digital and vinyl preorder via Bandcamp.

Ambient Sleepers - threehz - 15 Jul 2025

Clarence Rise is a French techno producer and DJ, whose sometimes dark but always introspective music draws on his deep connection with nature and the twists and turns of the psyche. His compositions combine complex rhythmics with organic sound design, diving listeners in hypnotic, immersive soundscapes.

"This podcast is shaped to be the most faithful representation of what I imagine for a Hypnotic Techno set: a journey through limbo, cold and minimalist, and clubs, thunderous and sweaty, in a progressive duality that aims at self-abandonment."

For our twenty sixth installment we’ve invited Minù Jr, a DJ and producer based in France. He describes himself a as multifaceted project in constant evolution, always in search of new influences.

His music stands out with a hypnotic universe that blends deep techno pulses with sound experiments, creating an immersive atmosphere during his sets.

Last year, he joined the roster of the Lyon-based collective/label Monochrome, releasing an EP titled Qabam — four tracks of synthetic drum’n’bass tinged with dub.

Lately, he has been exploring live performance alongside another producer in the same genre, Tampo.

Some words about this mix:
“In this mix, I've embraced a slower tempo, which has been captivating me lately. Tracks with lower BPMs have become increasingly appealing, and I've been producing quite a few of them recently. They play a key role in my live set with my friend Tampo.

This podcast maintains a steady pace at 120 BPM, featuring tracks from artists I've been listening to for a while, along with some new discoveries.
I hope you enjoy this humble journey.”

Julia Diệp My Feige - The Second Time Will Be Different 
V.A - Volume 1 [Electronic Underground]

Produced by Julia Diệp My Feige
Mastered by Giulio Reger
Artwork by Leon Scheunemann
Released by Electronic Underground from Düsseldorf, Germany
Release Date: August 29th, 2025

Volume 1 marks the debut compilation from Electronic Underground, bringing together 13 tracks that span the wide spectrum of underground electronic music. From progressive and oldschool-leaning electro to raw techno, breakbeat, ambient and noise, the release captures the label’s core ethos: to celebrate diversity within electronic subgenres and provide a platform for emerging voices.

Julia Diệp My Feige moves swiftly between different worlds trying to bloom in liminal spaces. Across all media, she strives to remain true to her own intuitive and free way of creating and to express something deeply personal yet universal. "the second time will be different" explores the feeling of rhythms falling out of sync — the asynchronicity of being with someone, breaking up, meeting again, but realizing it will never be like the first time
with hypnotizing textures.

The sixteenth. An all vinyl mix and the third artist announced for the Out Of Focus 2025 gathering. 

One for getting lost in. Between the dissonance, the mystery and the cacophony, a pulsating energy provides a reliable constant. A mix showcasing the unrelenting yet contemplative shade of deep techno. Steeped in atmosphere and fluttering rhythms, a thoughtful arrangement of tracks selected for their unwavering energy. 

It is with great pleasure that we welcome O3SIDIAN to the Out Of Focus 2025 gathering. Join us in tacchu this September to witness a live Techno masterclass from the Sardinian born, Finland based artist.
