Starting off the year with deeper sounds to settle into the winter months.

January '24

Up next in our series is a live recording from Edward's set at this year's Gottwood Festival.

Berlin-based DJ and producer Edward (Gilles Aiken) is a true master of his craft, known for hypnotic sets that merge groovy, shadowy rhythms with a cosmic edge.

A mainstay of Berlin's 'WHITE' label, Frankfurt's '@die-orakel', and Weimar's iconic @giegling. Edward's latest release sees him join forces with @ricardo-villalobos-official on the revered @perlon-berlin label.

His Friday set during the @Trommelmusic takeover at Gottwood was a  journey through his signature sound, perfectly reflecting the festival’s eclectic vibe.

Journey back to the woods with this groove based cosmic selection.

Gottwood Mix #69 -  Edward (Live At GW 2024)

Preorder: https://sinsistema.bandcamp.com/album/glorified-intake
Distro: https://shorturl.at/RlwHZ

After Denzel’s debut EP ‘Techniques 4 Life’, the quest for finding those approaches continues. The Helsinki night owl draws from a range of influences here on his sophomore EP ‘Glorified Intake’, leading things into a murkier territory than his previous, with tracks made during a transitional period between two cities, H & B.

The first track HKI 13 is an ode to roots. The track is held together by a swerving astral arpeggio combined with chants from a village dance off and stabs that liken to that one Balearic house anthem… The Sun is well on its way below. 

Nightrun reduces things to a darker core, howling into the night, embodying a state rather than telling a story. Time goes by, how is it already tomorrow? An after hours tune with a bassline for a hook. Doesn’t get much sleazier than that. Getting down, getting low. 

On the flipside, we’ve made it to the beginning of the end, phased out the doubts and gathered up the strength to go on — things are looking brighter. A voice inside your head — trust only yourself. 

Finally on the last stretch, light has subsided and darkness has landed once again. We’ve thrown out any notion of what, where and who. Those things don’t matter anymore: we’ve perfected “the state”. It’s go time.

Continuing to share memories from the Can You Jigit? Archives.. a sunday evening masterclass. Something to keep the tired feet moving, the soul breathing while also tickling the mind. One of our favorite moments of the weekend, where we could also let loose. In safe hands, with dear Vera.

THREE PIECE AND FRIES w/ VERA - Wednesday 15th January 2025

Next in our mix series is our co-founder, Ekkel. From the studio, he delivers a fresh, modern take on ’90s Nordic electronic music—both mind-bending and progressive—diving headfirst into breaks and intricate percussive trips, whether as Ekkel or Alvar. Teo is deeply woven into the Ute-hemisphere, contributing to various musical constellations. With Solar Alliance (with Oprofessionell & Mikkel Rev), he crafts expansive live trance journeys, recorded and arranged in just days. As Ipeo (with Oprofessionell), he fuses ‘90s influences with contemporary twists to create mesmerizing soundscapes. Meanwhile, Accelerationism (with Marius Bø) are renowned for their marathon sets, regularly playing for hours on end. Teo has released several records on the Seoul-based record label, Junction Forest, that showcases his signature blend of groovy, deep and tech infused trance, further cementing his influence in the scene.

For the 100th anniversary episode Teo has put together a three hour odyssey with strictly his own unreleased material. This mix is a collaboration of sorts as Ekkel requested Marius Bø, the curator of the series, to go through his unreleased folders, select the tracks and order, before Ekkel would mix it all together. A journey from dark to light highlighting both the mental groove based parts of his output, to the more sensitive and dramatic.

Ute Mix Series #100 | Ekkel

S.O.N.S is the mysterious man behind DIM320. French but living in Seoul for over ten years, Timothée has long been somewhat of an enigma in the scene's fast, trance-tinged wilderness, releasing a stretch of understated 12"s, using different aliases (Prophecy 47, Dj Jacuzziy..) When he's not making or spinning records, you'll find the Ring Club resident selling them behind the counter at Junction, the excellent store he owns in Seoul which has also recently begun life as a label, Junction Forest. 

Known for impeccable mixing technique and taste, both shine bright during this 80-minute dive into his bag. Strap in and get ready for his Dimensions debut this summer.
