MANUALCAST007 - Scott Artex

Fresh off the back of his release with us, @rowant-sc delivers an hour of tweaky House, Techno, and progressive cuts for our Manualcast series

‘my intention with mixes is to create a flow of momentum through the set, some fun, some deep and some trippier elements to carry a journey. The aim of this set was to build grooves and head into some more left-field, trippier elements in the back end’ - Rowant

MANUALCAST008 - Rowant

"This is my very first set that's mostly techno.

When it came to choosing what kind of techno to play, I went with tracks that mostly resonate to me, blending multiple sub-genres including deep and dub techno, with sonorities sometimes flirting with psytrance.

I aimed to create an ecstatic and immersive atmosphere, moving between intense peaks and joyful moments of release.

A 4x4 rhythm that shifts, evolves, and builds up to an explosion.

I had so much fun preparing and playing this set — I hope it resonates with you as deeply as it did with me." @joia_dj

Podcast Taquin #44 | JOIA

French-Brazilian DJ @joia_dj channels her Paris-to-Rio identity into a richly textured blend of trance, bass, and techno. Deeply influenced by her Carioca roots, she weaves trippy, percussive sets that draw on acid, dub, and organic rhythms to craft hypnotic, emotionally resonant journeys.

 “I had full freedom shaping it, and it’s probably one of the sets that reflects me the most today.” - JOIA

MANUALCAST010 - Treasure Island

We are delighted to welcome Joia, Paris and Rio based Dj  for the 19th iteration of our Loopcast series.

"This set was born from a desire to recreate an atmosphere I fell in love with this summer: peak time at Waking Life’s Floresta stage. A colorful, mystical, and powerful techno journey. It starts with organic, intergalactic elements, building into rawer intensity, and unfolding into percussive, acidic, and enveloping rhythms. Sweet ride!"
Joia

‘This mix is the deeper and more melancholic side of the music I’m most loving at the moment. I’ve had tunnel vision for old school mid-00s digs recently - just so rich and full of emotion.’ - @julia-connor
