For those drawn to ambient terrains, the name Francesco Piunti will likely already be familiar. Our first encounter with his mixes came some years ago - emerging through the well known Campfire Stories on Silent Season, then later well crafted excursions thru the likes of Oslated, Delayed, Deep Electronics, and Moon Garden Records not to forget his tireless work in hosting the Deep Breakfast Series (https://soundcloud.com/deepbreakfastseries)

In response to MB’s recent 314 mix https://soundcloud.com/deepbreakfastseries/314-m-baumann, Francesco has returned serve with a contemplative two-hour drift - tracing ambient space, dub techno, with a delicate dusting of float house.  A thoughtful transmission from a selector deeply connected to his craft.

Primary [colours] Mix Series #56 - Francesco Piunti

Deftly merging her background in sound design with techno and its real world applications, Toxido Mask is a shadowy DJ/Producer who calls Berlin home and has been challenging the fringe of her craft for over a decade. Her fastidious selections and skill on the decks are nothing short of legendary, providing experiences that rumble and vibrate with mystical power, characterised by a raw intensity and fragile balance between ‘harmony and disharmony, clarity and distortion’, a testament to the transformative nature of the genre and her keen understanding of it. She’s a Tresor resident and curator of the OMM Transmission Podcast and party series, an outlet for further explorations into the murky world of this defiant sound. Productions too have offered a glimpse into the shifting sands of her percussive mayhem with releases on Semantica Records, Aneelhi and Pregnant Void. Toxido’s paradigm has found form wherever possible and proven her singular vision can constantly change and provoke. Bassiani Podcast 274 is a dose of primal techno that radiates and consumes its listener, expansive and potent beats from a formidable talent.

Bassiani invites Toxido Mask / Podcast #274

Relive one of the most powerful moments of Danza Futura 2025: Setaoc Mass B2B Phara.
Two uncompromising artists joining forces in the heart of the forest, shaping a journey of relentless grooves, hypnotic layers, and raw intensity.

This is more than a set. It’s a ritual, a memory carved into the trees of Viana do Castelo.

A proper techno adventure in the forest 🌳

Setaoc Mass b2b Phara @ Danza Futura 2025

Madrid's F-on is a much beloved figure within the Spanish scene, known for his elegant all-vinyl sets and curation behind the brilliant Alpenglühen label among so much more. We stayed in touch after his particularly beautiful set at 2017’s Paral·lel Festival, and I've been looking forward to one day sharing this episode of the series since. Alfonso’s mix is uncanny in its precision and demonstrates a prowess behind the decks that few can match, a soft palette built through veteran and timeless selection. Two hours in and out of focus like rippling dust through which the flow of time slows, a stasis in the stream. Thanks Alfonso!

Sure Thing Mix 145: F-on

Ebbs and Flows was chosen as the perfect platform to share a side of Romi's sound that is rarely played out but holds a very special place in his heart. The recording took place in Berlin at the studio of close friend Rami Abirafi, using CDJs and Technics 1200s.

Romi has been across the techno scene for decades, developing a vision for music that spans genres and moods. Bringing it all together coherently with a focus on deep, hypnotic sounds, he expresses this vision through Kizen's consistently high-quality output, that traverses multiple facets of electronic music.  A seasoned artist and world traveler now based in Berlin, Romi has spent over two decades creating atmospheric depths with an effortless touch.
