Mozhgan, who first came to Japan in 2017 for a club event by rural and rose to fame the following year with a closing set performed with her ally Solar, has delivered a mix for us. The set is based on the dark, acid techno that she is best known for, with classic tracks carefully woven in here and there. Please take a listen to this mysterious journey of sound by a DJ who represents the underground scene of San Francisco, USA.

2017年にruralのクラブイベントで初来日し、翌年には彼女の盟友であるSolarと共に披露したクロージングセットで名声を獲得したMozhganが、私たちのためにMixを届けてくれました。彼女が最も得意とするダークでアシッドなテクノを基調として、随所にはクラシックなトラックまでが丁寧に織り交ぜられた貫禄の感じさせるセットです。米国サンフランシスコの地下シーンを代表するDJが神秘的な音の旅へと誘います。

Kugel is a transformative force in Seoul's electronic music landscape. Her sonic journey weaves through a rich tapestry of genres, with a particular affinity for psychedelic and cosmic electronic elements. Each set is an improvised narrative, where she masterfully balances deep, dark textures with playful, eccentric selections, creating an immersive experience that resonates uniquely with each audience.

Her musical metamorphosis began during her studies in Germany, where an encounter with the underground scene sparked a profound artistic awakening. What started as a self-described monochromatic existence transformed into a vibrant pursuit of musical storytelling. This pivotal experience revealed music's universal language and its power to forge instant, meaningful connections.

Since her 2018 debut, Kugel has established herself as a cornerstone of Seoul's electronic music community. Her three-year residency (2021-2024) at Tunnel in Itaewon became a laboratory for developing her distinctive dialogue with dancers. As the curator of 'Weird Circle', a bi-monthly event series at Club Nyapi, she has created a platform for introducing avant-garde sounds to Seoul's discerning audiences.

Her artistic reach extends well beyond Korea's borders, with performances at prestigious international events including The Air House Festival (Korea), The Phu Quoc Odyssey NYE Festival by Studio Adventure Collective (Vietnam), and the renowned Rainbow Disco Club (Japan). These appearances showcase her evolution from local talent to regional tastemaker, each set further cementing her reputation for crafting hypnotic, genre-defying musical journeys.

Through her masterful selection and intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics, Kugel continues to push boundaries and challenge expectations, establishing herself as a vital voice in Asia's electronic music landscape.

MIX080 - Kugel (首爾) [Live at 宀]

After years of shaping sound into emotion, this moment speaks for itself. Electricano returns with ‘Inner Voices’, a body of work that doesn’t just play, it reflects. 

Built from stripped-down grooves and honest textures, the EP reveals the rawest and most intimate side of his artistry. Released on storytellers, these songs speak not to the crowd, but to the listener within.

Drifting Elements (Mastered 2025)

宀 is a music venue in the very heart of Hong Kong focused on bringing people together through carefully selected electronic music acts and cultural activities. The 100-capacity venue will bring a roster of leading international performers while nurturing local and regional talent.

宀 (pronounced "mihn" is the Chinese Radical 40 with a different pronunciation according countries. It has no literal meaning but can be likened to a roof or shelter. This is a place where you can express yourself freely. This place is for dancing. This is a place to learn. This is safe space where you will not be harassed, discriminated, criticised or harmed emotionally or physically. This is a place where all Races, Genders and Sexual identities are welcome. To safeguard this vision, there will be a no-photo policy applied inside the club.

宀 has been imagined by a group of music and audiophile enthusiasts who have chosen a Funktion One soundsystem in a room carefully engineered by one of the region's leading experts in acoustics.

「宀」是一個位於香港中心地帶的全新音樂場地，宗旨在於希望能夠透過精心挑選的電子音樂以及其他文化藝術活動，將人們聚集起來。這個能夠容納100人左右的場地，不只將帶來國際型的表演者，也將會成為亞太區、本地菁英的培育地。

「宀」這個中文字的部首在不同國家有不同的發音，在字形上像是一個屋頂、一個藏身處。這是一個你/妳可以自在表現自己的地方。這是一個你/妳可以盡情跳舞的地方。這是一個你/妳可以找尋人生的地方。這是一個歡迎所有種族、性別、性傾向認同的地方。為了保護這樣的宗旨，在這裡禁止所有拍照攝影的行為。

「宀」的靈感啟發是來自於一群熱愛音樂及音響系統的同好，也因此他們選擇了Funktion One音響，並精準的由香港一位傳音效果專家特別為這個場地量身訂製調整而成。
