GROOVE Podcast 463 – Marco Shuttle

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.

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!

DJ Hockey - The Great Beyond 2025

Over the past 8 years that I have been a DJ, I have never put out a solo mix of my own. I've always been very critical of myself when it comes to recording a set or a session, and I just haven't ever felt satisfied enough with anything I've recorded to submit it anywhere. However, this recent mix (taken from our latest Flowstate outing in May) feels different.

Everything about this mix encapsulates what I love about all the various shades of contemporary techno. Dark, groovy, sexy & hypnotic - and all at a pace that the whole room could rock too! The stars were seriously aligned that night, and for the first time ever I couldn't be more proud to share the results with you all. Enjoy!

Julien P. & Max Watts Live Set @ Tresor 09.20.25

This leading light from the Berlin scene is up next with 85 minutes of feel good tunes guaranteed to get you moving. Partok’s rise as go-to DJ for clubs like De School, Blitz, Basement and Panorama Bar is really no surprise. The recipe? Bridging genres and histories from Detroit to early UK rave, and constantly correlating those with more recent developments in music, and always through a queer lens. These deckside stints have a soft galvanising power, chugging rhythms with social change front and centre, grassroots house that spurs dancefloor denizens to action with selections that prioritise the work of fellow queer artists. Along with Roi Perez and David Elimelech, Partok's also at the reins of transnational party series Laundrette, a forum for endurance-testing B3B sets. And the fun doesn’t stop there, his past forays into production as 1/3 of Partok Matushka Apfelberg on Kompakt have set the bar even higher, fleshing out a vision for sound that flips the script at every turn. For Bassiani Podcast 279, this Berlin selector brings a singular magic, anthemic grooves and butter-smooth transitions, this is highly combustible house from a one-of-a-kind talent, an exclusive mix recorded at the K41 garden in Kyiv for Bassiani.

Bassiani invites Partok / Podcast #279

“Nuragico” captures SHRDN’s raw and personal take on hypnotic techno.
Fast, heavy, and driven by instinct.
The two tracks unfold through deep, pounding basslines and sharp, evolving synth lines that cut through the mix with tension and movement.
The grooves feel ancient yet forward-driven, guided by distorted vocal fragments that sound like half-spoken mantras or broken rap echoes.
There’s no formula here. Just instinct, repetition, and raw energy shaped into rhythm.
This is SHRDN defining his own pulse.
