☉ About Irazu:
Irazu (Madrid, 1989) finds in electronic music a vehicle for self-exploration and sonic expression, a way to uncover his identity and emotions.
His journey in the scene began as a promoter of events in Madrid, but he soon discovered that music production and releasing records were essential outlets to channel his artistic vision. His early works were released on Stale, Kastil’s label, collaborating with artists such as Acronym, Regis, Pessimist, and Kastil himself. In 2018, he released the mini-album Study for Portrait, showcasing his personal take on techno.
Following several releases on labels like Hooded, Artificial Intelligence, and 30drop, as well as producing remixes, Irazu released his EP 140.15 on Stale. However, it was in 2022 when he presented his debut album, Anything Exist Anymore, on Semantica Records. This album delved into melancholic soundscapes while staying rooted in techno and enriched by a broad spectrum of influences.
In 2023, Irazu took a step further with Self-Medicating, his second album released on Warm Up Recordings, Óscar Mulero’s label. This work, the most aggressive and dark in his career to date, marked an evolution into more unsettling and introspective sonic territories.
Irazu’s influences span key regions in the evolution of techno and experimental electronics: from the West Midlands in the UK to the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain. Artists such as Regis, Svreca, Autechre, Donato Dozzy, Óscar Mulero, Luke Slater, and Surgeon have shaped his sound, alongside pioneers of industrial and experimental electronics like Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Einstürzende Neubauten, and Coil.
Irazu’s sound can be described as an intimate space where tension and false tranquility coexist—a constant exploration of new horizons that reflects his relentless artistic pursuit.

Unwearied Cycle -- Act. IV -- STNDRD

For our twenty fifth installment we've invited R/D/V also known as Luca Redivo, he is an Amsterdam-based audio engineer and DJ/producer. Known for his inclination to introspective, driving and textural sound, Luca channels his energy into crafting hypnotic techno and ambient music.

As part of his creative journey, R/D/V has recently released music via labels like [R]3volution, TMM and Analog Solutions, while also performing and taping podcasts for renowned organisations such as Tresor, Acquario, and Résilience.

Beyond his artistic contribution, Luca is deeply involved in the technical side of audio. He engineers at multiple studios and live venues, whilst partaking in collaborative projects that push the boundaries of sonic exploration.

Some words about this mix by Luca:
"This meditative ambient set was conceived to induce calm and peace of mind in listeners. The sound evolves as we do, with ever-changing atmospheres and nuances that bring us to an elevated and ethereal state. Sound provides space for imagination as we delve into this nature-inspired journey"

HYPNOSIS 025 R/D/V

Ria Mares is a DJ and sound producer who crafts deep, immersive audio journeys in the Hypnotic Techno genre. Her signature sound blends high-tech synthesis with a natural aesthetic. Inspired by ethnic motifs, organic tones, and a dark, enveloping atmosphere, she creates a sonic space where organic and technological worlds converge, forming a path where each listener can discover something unique.

The storyline of the mix:
This musical journey begins in the desert — silent and boundless, where nothing exists but sand, mirages, and our cozy shelter from which we can observe the vast beauty of the landscape.

Gradually, we move closer to thick vegetation and wild jungles. Here, the rhythms of tribal dances become clearer and more alive. We pause to connect with the earth and absorb the raw energy of the tribe.

Our path then takes us to a highly developed civilization — where beings invent technology, craft advanced devices, and build ships to explore outer space.
On one of those ships, we travel past asteroids, stars, galaxies, and unknown planets...

Eventually, we land on one of them — a planet with its own unique atmosphere. It is bright, warm, and beautiful. As we glide through its landscapes, we remember that very same cozy place from where we once gazed at the desert — at the very beginning of this sonic voyage.

We're very happy to present a 2 hours recording from our label head Hypnotic Black Magic for the 137th episode of our podcast series!

For the past 7 years, HBM has been running the event series, podcast and label Art Bei Ton and we're now celebrating our 7th Anniversary through this set!

For this 2 hours podcast, she re-recorded one of her favourite set from a very special place, where recording were not possible -- never can be as good as the original one with that magic energy of the public and the place, but the vibe is here!

Evolving between hypnotic, deep and psychedelic sounds, HBM is taking us on an uplifting trippy journey, exploring different sonic landscapes from spacial sounds to euphoric tunes. Great set to listen getting ready for the weekend ~

More info about Hypnotic Black Magic:

Hypnotic Black Magic is a Berlin and Lisbon-based DJ and producer, renowned for her trippy and uplifting sets that take audiences on euphoric journeys.
She is also the head behind the well-established label and event series Art Bei Ton, shaping since 2018 her vision of the scene through hypnotic sounds, psychedelic visuals and gender-balanced line ups.

Inspired by nostalgic and avant-garde electronic sounds since her early teenage years, HBM has developed her music taste around hypnotic techno, atmospheric ambient, psychedelic sounds and IDM/tribe. Collecting tracks with a preference for loopy patterns, dreamy pads, groovy rhythms, and trancey basslines, HBM’s goal is to drive the audience through a cathartic journey - 

On the production side, Hypnotic Black Magic released her EP ‘Passages’ on Art Bei ton in Feb 2025, as well as some tracks on some VAs. She's currently working on her first album, planned for March 2026!

[PITCH52] Fernie - Layers I [PREVIEW]

This material is an exploration of movement and perception, where hypnotic grooves and layered textures build an evolving illusion. Each track is selected with intention, forming a seamless flow that guides the listener deeper into a crafted atmosphere. The music moves like a living structure, blending energy with stillness, precision with openness. It is a design not just heard, but felt - a journey where sound becomes a path, and rhythm becomes a guide.

Art Rave Culture / Podcast #045 / IIIusion Designer

I'd like to share a live recording of my ambient set from the Sixth Riverside Ambient Salon 
Electrum Up To Date Festival & MOAK Wasilków, which took place on July 13, 2025, in Wasilików, Podlasie.

It's a deeply emotional selection, which I'd like to use to express my longing for genuine human emotions and connections, which are sorely lacking today, often exacerbated by the widespread and pervasive problem of depression, especially among children. I played these tracks with the utmost love in this magical place. 

Dtekk – thank you for the invitation; it meant a lot to me.

Six dancefloor tools shaped in the deeper corners of Tsott's sound. Built for movement and momentum, drifting somewhere between shadow and light, merging raw energy with subtle emotion.
