Limited available high quality (140gm black 12") vinyl copy of EMERALD 018. Comes with additional stickers!

‘Stronger Than Fiction EP’ is a result of investigating sounds and information while channelling techno in an oldschool manner. Arising from sheer call and response strength and folded into a no-nonsense, momentum-feeling arrangement approach rather than considered thought. Designed to push things off the rail a bit long after sunset and far from dawn.

Stronger Than Fiction

Remco Beekwilder - Stronger Than Fiction (Alarm Mix) [Artaphine Premiere]

@jephta a rising Dutch DJ based in Amsterdam and resident of the Rotterdam collective Embodiment, brings his signature hypnotic, trippy, and experimental sound to the Artaphine Series for episode 107. Influenced by the likes of Drumcell, Ancient Methods, and Northern Electronics, his sets seamlessly blend diverse sub-genres, creating a deep connection with the audience. Driven by the values of techno culture, Jephta invites listeners to lose themselves on the dancefloor, offering an immersive and transformative musical experience.

Jephta | Artaphine Series 107

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The latest chapter in The Continuum story celebrates the power of music. I connected with So Oishi at the special place that is Bonobo in Tokyo. The opportunity to play there also came through musical connections, so the thing goes full circle. Nothing better represents the spirit behind this podcast series than the seed we planted that night and the fruits we present today. 

So Oishi has had a year! He has been on a roll with a stellar release for SoHaSo and brilliant podcasts for Sungate and Noods Radio. So having him join the Continuum family is a pleasure. 

And oh boy his mix goes places like his music has this year... from ambient, to half-time, to 4x4 with some unexpected curveballs along the way. Original and brave, fun and playful, this is a refreshing take on our beloved psychedelic and atmospheric sound. To top it off, So went into detail and used music from some of the artists he met that night at Bonobo. Again, going full circle. 

Thank you So and welcome to The Continuum.

Ancient Methods | Artaphine Series 109

The Bunker Podcast 235 comes from @erikluebs. This is a live set recorded in Milan on March 28 at the party Acquario.

Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by a wide range of luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor.

Luebs released an EP on The Bunker back in 2021, and has since released on DJ Nobu’s Bitta label (@djnobu_bitta), and @nousklaeraudio. He also has an upcoming release on the legendary @kompakt imprint.

Erik will be playing an ambisonic surround sound set for a horizontal audience at Going In at Reforestor’s Laboratory in Brooklyn this Friday, and an extended sunrise dancefloor set at The Bunker’s takeover of @nowadaysnyc Nonstop on Sunday morning.

CHRISTIAN SAMSARA | Ozora Festival 2025 - DJ Set

OUTMIX004: Om Unit [Live From OO25]

“Misty Secrets“ is a window into the playful and organic world of French but Tbilisi-based producer Ina Kacz. Across five immersive, intricately woven tracks, she cultivates a vibrant sonic garden where percussive patterns, rich organic layers, and colourful textures intertwine.
The EP opens with “Whispers”, a mysterious initiation filled with ritualistic beats and abstract voices, as if calling the listener deeper into the undergrowth. The path quickens with “Last Night’s Dream”, a driving, mysterious chase, and reaches its most physical moment in “Dive In”, where rhythmic energy commands movement. Without breaking its stride, the EP turns to a more diffused light: “Unveiled Mysteries” wraps the beat in textured swells, while “Desert” moves under a soft, hazy surface, carrying a quiet sense of pressure beneath.
Prismatic, trippy, and rich with subtle shifts, the EP moves as a single organism, breathing differently in each track.

Ina Kacz - Misty Secrets [QNE016]

Half of boundary-pushing production outfit Voices From The Lake and co-founder of Spazio Disponibile, Neel is an Italian producer with a keen ear for complex, enveloping sonics; his ample, elegant pieces of music sitting right at the junction of beatless abstraction and intricate webs of electronic pulsations. Boasting his works’ most dynamic side, Neel’s debut transmission on RYC ushers us into a smouldering pit of molten steel and glassy membranes. Playing with echoes and latency as he builds his own multi-sensory experience out of eclectic fragments, Neel transports us to a zone where movement and inertia rule in concerted harmony, and your suddenly weightless body feels eventually free from today’s iteratively chaotic burden. Uplifting.
