A late night in September 2024, deep in Koenji, Tokyo—hopping between listening bars, cold craft beers in hand, surrounded by solid company. Takashi Mori showed us around, navigating the city’s underground pulse with ease. Big thanks for that, mate—what a night.

Off the back of that, we knew we had to get him in for a mix. Takashi delivers a deep, finely tuned session that locks you into his world of Ambient and Dub Techno. Precision-crafted, immersive, and straight-up essential listening.

Takashi first caught our attention with his release on Slope Point, but he's been a fixture in Tokyo’s scene long before that—a staple DJ spinning dub techno and other deep, hypnotic cuts across the city. By day, he works as a mixing engineer, fine-tuning sonics, and when he’s not behind the decks, he’s behind the lens—documenting Tokyo’s streets in stark black and white. A creative soul through and through.

Much respect from the PC crew—dive in and enjoy.

It’s really such a pleasure to present my next special guest on my MLD Channel: Eric Fenessy a.k.a. Lava Brain from Melbourne/AUS. @lava-brain

We already had the opportunity to cooperate some months ago and during our conversations via mail I appreciated his thoughts and values about therapeutic effects of arts and music, something I could relate immediately. Thanks so much, Eric, you followed my invite to contribute with a guest mix for MLD!
Much Heavy Weight and experimental foot work inside, but also so much mindfulness for details in the frame of the love for Dub related bass music! An original MLD style -no-business-as-usual-Mix, I would say! 😊🙏

guest mix Lava Brain for MLD

Y'see, what I love about this mix series is the unexpected. Anyone familiar with Waage will have come to expect deep, yet uncompromising techno. With releases on Thule, X/OZ, Ohm Series, and more recently an outstanding remix on lempuyang, you'd be forgiven for expecting more of the same when we invited him to join the mix series. But here he showcases 2hrs of incredible ambient - expansive, moving, and always deep. Expect lots of unreleased material within - this one is not to be missed.

Madah Sounds present @thelonerist

Only The Lonely

In the silence of the cosmos, a lone soundwave drifts. Echo, it whispers, a ghost of melodies unplayed.
What is a sound without ears to hear? A story untold, a thought unshared, drifting through the infinite. Yet, in its quiet journey, Echo embraces time's vast embrace, seeking connection among the stars.
It flutters through nebulae, brushing against dreams. The universe hums in response, a chorus of belonging.
In solitude, Echo learns that even the loneliest notes can harmonize amidst galactic echoes, creating a symphony of existence.

Sai - Dub Techno TV Podcast Series #159 [2024]
DTTV Podcast Series [DTTVPS159]

Kerstin Saidykhan a.k.a. Sai has been a music nerd since her youth, influenced by styles like postpunk, dark wave, ska, jungle, DnB, and techno. Two trips to Jamaica in the late ’90s deepened her passion for dancehall and sound system culture, with the heavy basslines of dub and raggamuffin having a lasting impact on her. After the pandemic she established the podcast series “Moments Of Light And Darkness” and just began to release mixes by herself and after a certain time presenting guest mixes, too. The whole development since then was very organic where one thing leads to the other without a certain goal. There are plans to establish a yearly live event. To promote this Sai has built the MLD Compilation via an open call where producers could contribute with a track but stay anonymous. Sai loves to create deep atmospheric mixes around dub techno influenced sounds, combining the classics from earlier days with the current releases, often seasoned with the dub reggae vibes, some broken beats, ambient non beat or other experimental electronic stuff - sometimes darker, sometimes lighter. At the end it's all about moods and feelings from moment to moment what flows into the present time. According to that she calls herself Sai – MLD. MLD is the short form for Moments of Light & Darkness, related to a diverse spectrum in many ways.

Tracklist:
00:00 Bjorn Rohde - Dissociated Memory
02:50 No Name 05 - Utrecht 3.46 PM
08:50 Yonef - Erode I
11:20 Altone - Self Replication
15:15 Liuos - Fellow Traveller
18:54 No Name 10 - Renova Minula
22:14 Akme - Quite A Different Place (Ohm Sad Pad Version)
26:09 No Name 11 - Relic
30:35 Spigl – 17072024
34:45 Steve O'Sullivan - Moving Forward (Mike Huckaby SYNTH Reconstruction) 
41:05 Anton Kubikov – Echolight
47:07 Sensual Physics - Garden Of Apples
52:42 Marshall Watson - Lost For A Moment

Dub Explorations 126 with Man-L

barrskog

Dub, Techno, Dark Drones and other experimental stuff - mixed in a certain kind of emotional expressing way...packed in a mix series called "Moments of Light n Darkness" (MLD). Open space for guest mixes. Related to "MLD goes live" a Dub&Techno infused Festival near Brandenburg an der Havel, 80 km from  Berlin (Germany)
any requests: saiberlin@posteo.de

I have experienced a lot of different electronic types and styles during my musical biography which began in the 8oies as a teen with Postpunk and dark wave and develloped further with Ska, Reggae, Jungle, Drum 'n Bass and Techno. Reggae and the Jamaician Soundsystem Culture had also a big influence to me, after visiting Jamaica for two times at the end of the 90ies...

Dubtechno became a very special role to me cause of its introvert meditative attitude which fits very good to me now in the present time.

So music is much more than entertainment to me and shaped my personality by getting much energy from it.
And this is something, what I want to bring over in my diverse and gengre overarching mixes.

P.S.: I distance myself from any extremist ideas and religious or political brainwashing ideas. As well as stigmatization of any kind. I do this to the best of my knowledge and belief.
