Copy of Your Mix 1

It’s been a while since I uploaded music to my Soundcloud. Last weekend I played the opening set at Unfold XXXI and had so much fun - it is hard for me to put it into the words. 

Opening slots are so important - they are the seeds that enable events to flourish. They are the first contact - the welcome to the dance floor that sets the tone for what will follow. They are the first dance. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed crafting it.

Welcome to the new Candy Mountain Podcast series! This series will serve as a platform for good friends and artists we have a connection with and feel embody the CM spirit! Keep an eye out for future bits from us. 

Kicking things off we have a special 2.5 hour mix which sees Steffi, Blasha, Virginia & Allatt go b2b in that very order. 

Recorded spontaneously back in April at Candy Mountain, each member from this ‘team of trouble’ contributes their own signature style, whilst maintaining a cohesive flow throughout; weaving in and out of house, techno, and back again. 

Press play, enjoy and let us know what you think!

This mix is a rare showcase of my love for House music, a side people dont normally hear me delve into. That being said, Techno and House have always been related and one doesnt exist without the other!

in between dream and reality, acrylic on canvas, 50x50cm

The sound is on

I close my eyes and immediately I am there, transported into a space that doesn’t exist
Yet feels so pleasantly familiar

Music is a portal. Allowing all passengers to temporarily dance through that very thin line in between dream and reality

Here, I offer you my portals to the placid space that doesn’t exist. A narration of the cosmic world i built for myself through records & ultramarine hues.

Other little bits of me, to you.

Saturday I decided to dig deeper to explore alternative routes where we can all walk together, safe environments where we can break and shutter horrible outside noise that separates us.

Here is the live recording.

Presenting yet another journey into my imagination set in a purple little forest and accompanied by a selection of mirroring records. Mystically seductive and intriguingly composed, there’s an obscure yet fascinating aura to this space. Come closer … listen …

The beauty of abstract forms of art lies in the power imagination holds upon them. Undefined shapes with colors, music without words. You become the narrator, guided by the feelings your senses transmit to the mind. It is to float around an ocean of imagination and limitless inspiration. Inspiration … that moment where you exist only in front of yourself, searching for a way to express the life you have within

other little bits of me, to you.

Opening set I did for @orphicamsterdam at Tilla Tec! 129-133 bpm atmospheric and textured techno for the body and soul. I really enjoyed playing, and thanks everyone who was there for dancing <33

Live recording of my set from the Steam Room at Unfold LXXXV. 

What a m o m e n t ! For those who don't know, the Steam Room at Unfold is where anything goes. For me, this room is for fun times, good vibes and pure elation so this is the feeling I wanted to gift to everyone in that space that day. 

This mix flows between my favourite feel good genres, from Baile, Bass, Techno and Trance. Raw and unplanned; it's sexy, sleezy, groovy and vibrant... and juicy AF 💦

I was fully expecting to open to an empty room but to see so many people walk in quite literally the moment I started was so so special, only topped by seeing it completely packed out by the time two hours had gone by 🥹

Thank you to everyone who came and shared the purest form of joy with me and the biggest love and thanks to @jamesnewmarch @voicedrone for the invite and all my family at @foldldn for creating such a powerful space ✧˖*°࿐

My heart is still so, so full 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

UNFOLD LXXXV: MELATI [steam room: opening set]

Dubby, detroity tracks to spacey hypnotic techno: bridging the gap between Loek Frey's great opening and Freddy K who played after me. Hope you enjoy this since these are tracks that I all really love!! 

Beatmatching is sloppy in the first 35 mins, had some difficulty with hearing the mixer cues & the monitors + i was too short to reach the upper cdjs properly (even while standing on a platform lol) so that took some time getting used to

Artists played: 
Johanna Knutsson, Blue Hour, Carsten Fietz, Adlas, Deano, Maarten Mittendorff & Jasper Wolff, Modus, DJ Deep, Yogg, Connor Wall, Red Rooms, Nachtwaker, Ruben Ganev, Black Mirror Park & Red Rooms, Dorisburg, Vergil, Robert Armani/Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell, Joline Scheffler, Lenson, Fase Bipolar, Sterac
Happy digging! <3

Meet our new residents at Técnica 

We’re thrilled to welcome Charlie Caves and Bardo as official residents of Técnica. Their talent, musical vision, and connection to our collective make them a perfect fit.

Bardo
Bardo is the evolution of Borvac, a new interpretation of his sound rooted in UK techno while staying true to the essence of his previous version. Based in Berlin for the past two years, he has already played in clubs across the city, including Tresor, Watergate, About Blank, and many more. An artist with a strong focus on vinyl, he is also a resident at the well-known Matriz events in Granada, Spain. Becoming a regular at Técnica parties, he has dared to explore other musical styles such as Dubstep, UK Garage, and Bass Music, taking his creativity to another level.

Charlie Caves
A DJ from Ourense, Spain, Charlie Caves began his career in Madrid, playing at venues like Siroco and Utopía before moving to Berlin. Also known as Carlos’ Life, Carlito’s Way, and METHODRONE, he’s a dedicated digger with an ever-evolving sonic identity. In Berlin, he became a regular at Técnica parties, refining his craft and expanding his musical scope. His sets weave together different styles and BPMs while maintaining a distinct and personal touch—always carrying an element of surprise.



A special connection
When Charlie Caves and Bardo play together, it’s more than just music—it’s a seamless journey through sound. As two Galician souls, their b2b performances are a cascade of rhythm, emotion, and energy, challenging the dance floor with every track. Their bond, both on and off the decks, creates a space where passion flows freely, and their creativity knows no bounds. While their b2b sets are magic, we trust in both of their individual musical visions, and we’re excited to have them explore both solo and collaborative sets as residents.

To celebrate, we’re sharing a special recording of their set. Enjoy the journey!

REC33 w/ Mama Snake

Last year, on November 30th, Fuse welcomed Denmark's Mama Snake to our control room in light of her Amniote Editions night.  With an untamed aura spreading through the space, the dark hours were marked by hypnotic, slightly mental, and utterly intense temperaments.

Snapping between writhing acid lines, crisp tribal rhythms, and trance-laced techno, her selections struck a perfect balance between the meditative and the manic. The floor was hers: fluid, fierce, and full of intent. A reminder that mastery doesn’t always shout; it listens, reacts, and dares to draw outside the lines when the need knocks.
