Elektrigger Hakodate 2011 Part 1

The haze of Paral·lel festival has barely lifted, but we’re rewinding to another moment worth lingering on, February in Granada, at the Moonback club. There, under the warm glow of the Extramostra banner, Mostra linked up with the Klub Collective for a night that balanced local soul with an international touch. The lineup reads like a heads-only dream: Timnah, Antonio Vázquez, Refracted, and a solid core of Klub Collective residents including Fran Acosta, Kaizen, and Utopian. The kind of night that reminded us why the first slot matters more than most people admit. It’s the architectural role: shaping the night’s flow from zero.

Utopian did just that. His set unfolds like a slow exhale, dub-laced ambient that creeps, swells, and gradually transforms into chugging, low-slung techno hypnosis. It’s a patient climb: syncopated, restrained, precise. Not a single cheap move, just deep focus and floor logic, the kind that sets the table without stealing the meal. But make no mistake, this was a statement. A warm-up that didn’t just support the night, but elevated it.

The Sustain-Release co-founder steps up to the Phonica mix just ahead of the acclaimed festival’s 11th year. 
New York has an iconic history when it comes to club music, and over the years has seen many great names emerge from its underground scene. In modern times, Aurora Halal is undoubtedly one of those names. 
Aurora has become a staple at forward-thinking institutions like Berghain, De School, and her home base, Nowadays, where she holds a residency. Alongside her international touring, she’s carved out her own vital space through the long-running Mutual Dreaming parties and Sustain-Release, the DIY-rooted festival she co-founded, which continues to push boundaries as it enters its second decade.
Her Phonica mix offers a vivid snapshot of her deep, intuitive approach to DJing—captured live at Mansions, a cozy NYC wine bar turned house party haven. Known for her genre-fluid sets that blend hypnotic techno, house, acid and experimental textures this is the perfect calling card to showcase why she can hold it down with a range of greats like DJ Nobu, Vladimir Ivkovic and more.
We had a chat about the mix with Aurora as well as touching off Sustain and some of her favorite moments at the festival.

Vesa-Matti Kivioja - ANLIS UNIVERSUS (Still Life 026)

Yesterday night the full moon was shining in all its glory, and I was lucky to be enjoying the outdoors taking a weekend off clubbing. Maybe this is why this months episode of Selene Series, number 61, started off as an attempt to select some introspective breaky music. 

I love small sounds in big spaces. I feel that there is a lot of drum and bass, half-time, breaks, call it as you want music that channels that concept. Airy atmospheres and super precise, razor sharp percussions. That was the concept of the mix, at least at the start. But hey, often things get out of control and full on psychedelic craziness manifests... Nevertheless, this is how it turned out. For moments introspective, for moments not so much.  

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...

Mixed by DOC.

Neel [ Prologue ] Italy

Wings of the wave, the mist spreads in the air.
A night owl flew in, staring at the mirror.
Two deep dark pupils. 

Through the windows of a thousand-year wisdom it perceives, its ears follow the heart beat of dark forest, the night owl utters smokey analogue: 

"Listen to the words of a bluish underwater phantom
hear the sudden burst of rising bubbles
Go deep down the ocean, dream way above the sky
all rise, people, let the trip begin."

The latest release of Donato Dozzy and Neel's collaboration project "Voices From The Lake" received excellent reviews, and we were there in 2011 to feel it by ourselves at Labyrinth. It was one of the best live ever.

Voices From The Lake has finished their US tour in July 2012, and Neel is about to start his Asia tour in September. The first gig at Smoke Machine with an exclusive all-night-long set, we are very excited seeing his DJ set in Taipei.

Thanks to Neel for spending much time to create this mix, and it is a pleasure to host it on Smoke Machine. Enjoy!
