this mix grows upon itself so seamlessly ❤️

Marco Shuttle @ Noushh, Berlin 13-10-24

Honored to welcome Morocco-based Karim to our series, dear friend and founder of the beloved Tikita label, who I finally met at Monument Festival in 2022 after watching him open the weekend in beautiful fashion. The path Karim charts through this set mirrors that of his label’s truly inspirational and decade-spanning journey, one of prophetic timelessness and stalwart vision revealing a curatorial prowess like no other. Enter a valley of orphic rhythm and embrace this tonic for the body and mind, a rare and long-awaited mix from the artist to cast light upon a new year. Thank you Karim!

Sure Thing Mix 134: Karim

You know that feeling when you find a good mix? That little hit of satisfaction, like, yeah, that was time well spent. But then there are the rare ones—the mixes that hit just right, that feel like stumbling upon a new friend you just know you’ll be spending a lot of time with. That’s exactly what happened when we heard the latest Delayed with… mix from Toxido Mask.

Toxido has been on our radar for a while, and for good reason. She’s one of those artists who doesn’t just play music—she builds entire worlds with it. From weightless ambient to brain-twisting halftime to relentless techno, she moves through sounds with the precision of someone who truly gets it. Every mix, every track she touches feels like it was put together with care, with intention. You don’t just listen—you experience it.

And this mix? You’re gonna want to sit with this one. Or better yet, stand up—because the moment you hit play, you won’t be sitting for long. It’s DJing at its finest: sharp, fluid, and impossible to ignore. The flow is effortless, the energy is undeniable. One minute, you’re locked into a hypnotic halftime groove; the next, you’re riding a wave of rolling techno that hits in all the right places. It never loses its grip. You won’t want it to.

It’s no surprise Toxido Mask holds down a residency at Tresor—she plays like she was born for it. But she’s not just shaping dancefloors; she’s shaping the scene itself, overseeing the artistic direction of OMM Transmission, the evolution of the Catharsis series.

Some mixes are good. Some are great. And then there are the ones that stay with you. This is one of those.

The Observatory - ABSIS (Live at Human Club, 2025)

About this mix (few words from F-ON): 
"About the storytelling, well,  i can explain how the process of the recording was:
Friday night, It has been a hard and stressful day.
Everyone at home is sleeping, so I take a RedBull can from the fridge and I go to my dinner room.
I close the door, and start to record. The healing vibes start in my technics turntables and my Genelec monitors that sound very low.
I don't want to wake anyone up.
The next two hours are just for me.

His progressive sessions, profound and with long mixes, are real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient and horizontal and dubby techno.

His productions are 4x4 experiments of low tempo with field recordings and marked spaces, where he explores timbres, textures and cinematographic structures. He is resident at the Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and owner of the label Antimatter together with Bule.

He is also the owner of Alpenglühen (the label) focused in deep and ambient techno which explores the thin line between light and darkness.

#45 - F-On - The Healing

"A journey shaped by depth and your own subjectivity in choosing the story. Do you want it faster or right in the middle? Downtempo, or did you wake up ready to pick up the pace? However you choose to drift, the hypnotic spiral remains the guiding force."

Owl (@owlfromdeepspace) is a belgian electronic music producer who started producing under the alias Glÿph with his friend Clearlight and also under the  alias OZOH. In 2013, Owl wanted to expand his musical vision and push the boundaries o his creativity. This led him to delve into new sonic territories, capturing the attention of labels such as Silent Season, Lowless, Muzan, Huinali, DNO, and re:st. His distinctive sound began to resonate within the electronic music community, setting the stage for his continued evolution as an artist. Owl’s aptitude for creating subtle, lush sonic journeys keeps expanding and his last releases should further cement his reputation. The artist’s discography is in perpetual evolution : from dnb, deep techno to a dreamy & melancholy ambient journey.

A journey at over 170 BPM where techno and drum & bass intertwine. The mix unfolds slowly, fed by tracks carefully selected over the months, and enhanced by some of his own creations. A crescendo of raw, unadulterated energy that plunges you straight into the action.

We are thrilled to start these new series at our studio in Paris with Adhémar offering a wonderful ambient live set.

Video recording : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbwICJEt66Y

"For Cenote I composed a live environment that is a synthesis of sound spaces I've travelled through and recorded over the last few years. Born of rhythm, my music is also made up of ethereal, sometimes generative, sound spaces. This recording, made up of three main chapters, flows finely, like the water we try to hold in our hands into a crystalline dialogue between the sounds of life and the melodies that flow from them. A delicate journey that I'm delighted to share with you.”
