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!

LDS (an acronym for Luca Daniel Schwarz) is based out of Stuttgart, and fast blazing a trail beyond his native Germany. 2018 saw his Dub Tapes From Outer Space EP out on Transatlantic Records, dubby techno stirrings crossbred with a hint of the psychedelic, dub both reduxed and reinterpreted, and people started to pay attention. From his studio, he pushed this work in all directions, a process of investigation, critical thinking, creation of sounds and modulation, a spark plug method of getting his software instruments into the kind of feedback loop he needs to produce the best results. Conceptually, though there’s a mirroring of past influence, it’s music for a newer and thoroughly networked era: the ‘educational internet' is, he says, the place he spends a lot of time both learning and developing his music. That signature sound has dovetailed with the work of labels like Monnom Black, Blue Hour and Planet X, where his productions have also taken on genres like trance and IDM. The benchmark for all his releases, sets, and (starting in 2023) live performances is a high-speed fluttering salvo of rhythms that penetrate and resist any type of conceptual reverse manufacture, but to Luca it matters little: ‘the impression and thoughts of the listener are the only concepts that are true’. It’s what people feel then, that puts him on the map. It’s dub techno but not as you know it, atmospheric pads deputise their role to hardheaded beats and the end product is no less hypnotic. For Bassiani Podcast 234 LDS riffs on relatively simple construction, daisy-chaining tracks faster than you can identify what trace of emotion they’ve left behind, and building a mood that’s rife with ideas and ready to dance. This is switched on techno for the internet generation, immersive beats in conversation with their author, a reworking of the old and the birth of something entirely new.

It’s a tale often told: Sweden’s restrictive politics vis-à-vis raves have inadvertently created a fertile world on the fringes where many of the country’s talents have pushed their craft in an act of punkish rebellion. Having spent her teenage years collecting music (a habit inherited from a dad whose love of jazz, blues and folk left a lasting mark), Philippa Pacho discovered this hidden world of illegal gatherings, before trying her hand at spinning records and landing a residency at Stockholm’s storied Under Bron back in 2012. Berlin was soon in her sights, and it’s there she found a more recent base, her career heated up, and her (and Blue Hour’s) positivesource project came to light. From Bassiani to De School to Berghain, Philippa’s still going strong a decade in; and she does more than mix tracks, she crafts stories that drive a vision of music that gets both crowds and feelings off the ground. With her ballooning raft of rave-ready bookings past and present her name is a synonym for tripped-out full-tilt techno, if you’re already a fan you know the score. Zenaari Mix 014 presents another facet of her world, it’s a dreamlike 87 minute studio mix, a trip through ambient cityscapes and appraisal of a slower, stranger side of sound, kaleidoscopic bleeps from one of techno’s leading lights.

Luxembourg’s Ogazón (of Nathalie Ogazón Faber) followed her studies to the Netherlands and fell deep down the rabbit hole of Amsterdam nightlife, Trouw she recounts as transformative. Enough so that she followed that thread starting in the mid 2010s as neophyte DJ before upping sticks for Berlin a few years later. There, her passion for digging and upbeat outlook landed her in Ryan Elliot’s sights, a partnership that’s taken B2B form on more than a few occasions and led to further work with fellow blue chipper Marcel Dettmann (she signed to his agency in 2023). These days Ogazón’s sound is spreading to the pace of its rapid tempo, and her schedule’s all the more punishing for it. Dekmantel, Awakenings, DGTL, Berghain, Robert Johnson, the list gets longer. Refusing trivial categorisations, her work pivots between groovy house and austere techno, bringing together various influences (the ambient inclinations of Sofia Coppola she also cites) and keeping her vision broad. For Bassiani Podcast 241 she errs on the side of techno, delivering a profound two-hour mix that marches unrepentantly forward, zipping from ascetic track to track and building an atmosphere thick with subtle detail. This is deep, utilitarian techno for unsettled times and Ogazón leads the way.
