Criminal Cast 30 - Maksym Tkach

Being one of the co-founders of the already legendary Closer, he has probably seen and heard all the interesting stuff that has been going on in this club since the very beginning (and – as we just said – even earlier). Always making his appearance and selection meaningful to the connoisseurs in the crowd, he during all these years is the one of the main gems inside the 5-star collection of names in their crew, automatically putting the sign of quality on every guest, he’s sharing the stage with.

Under-the-radar Japanese selector, Yuta Suzuki graces us with his first recording in a couple of years. Having built a reputation for having his ear very close to the ground in the endless hunt for interesting, obscure music, this mix speaks to a man who's done exactly that. 

Put together in a remarkably patient way, it's a mature, eclectic collection of underground tracks that possess a certain character, with a slightly off-kilter thread running through.

At the turntables, the flawless Kraut @krautone!
He's so good that it's hard to put into words in a press release—it's better if you just check it out for yourself. By the way, listening to it stirs up a nostalgic feeling and makes you want to relive that legendary night!

Closer residents Karine and Shakolin have made a name for themselves off the back of a seemingly bottomless pit of interesting underground records. This mix is completely on-brand; a patient blend of moody electronics across the club continuum, put together with the confidence of a couple of seasoned selectors.

Karine & Shakolin

Nobody owns time. Some people, like Shjva, can, however, make it warble. Through the ebb and flows of hyper-immersive dub techno, low-swung goa sound & almost jazzy, blue after-hour sounds, she channels the aura of spaces that she subsequently made her own.

A thrilling 85-minute journey through the dark and gloomy corners of my favorite subgenre of drum and bass - old good Techstep. This mix combines the raw intensity of classic techstep from early 2000s with cutting-edge modern tracks, creating a smooth flow of energy, drive and atmosphere.

Expect deep, rolling basslines, razor-sharp rhythms and evolving motifs that maintain the momentum from start to finish. Carefully curated and expertly mixed, this set unfolds like a dynamic story — powerful, energetic and exciting, perfect for kicking off the autumn season of 2025.
