Vlada at Floresta - Waking Life '23

Vlada (@playvlada) has been playing all over the globe since just 18 years of age. Russia-born but Berlin-based for many years now, her sound is defined by a long, winding mixing style and is built on hypnotic basslines that slowly but surely zone you out. 

That very much comes out in this week's mix which initially locks you into a signature meditative pace but then builds with smart gear shifts and technical mixes. There are acid flashes to liven things up, bright synths spiraling around electrifying techno, broken beats to keep things moving then more stark industrial and metallic textures that place you at the heart of a strobe-lit and floor. It is another masterful mix full of must-find tunes from this ever more essential selector.

Closer residents Karine and Shakolin have made a name for themselves off the back of a seemingly bottomless pit of interesting underground records. This mix is completely on-brand; a patient blend of moody electronics across the club continuum, put together with the confidence of a couple of seasoned selectors.

@noizar's sound goes far beyond conventional house or techno. The Ukrainian DJ, who is now based in Amsterdam, has long since proven this with countless closing sets as resident at Kyiv’s legendary Closer club. It was there where he stood out for unearthing minimal techno treasures in places no one else looks. As such, you can always be sure that wherever Noizar mixes crop up online, they will be flooded with cheeky "ID?" requests, and quite often you will find they come on his vinyl-only Wicked Bass label.

For his Dekmantel Mix he offers a perfect snapshot of what he does in the booth: carefully dug out delights that don't really fit in usual categories. But they do tap into a specific deepness and groove that is rooted in Kyiv's minimal scene and the dance floor of Closer club. It results in a tight, taught hour of body music that perfectly balances function and form.

Presenting the second vinyl release of @maunaprasada featuring its owner @tomasdelazar. mauna (मौन) refers to “silence” and prasāda (प्रसाद) refers to “essence” or "grace". So it's the essence of silence or the grace of silence. 

The record is crafted for after-hours vibes or warm-up sessions, featuring a low BPM and a rich, dense energy that makes it ideal for late-morning performances. It seamlessly guides your mind through a series of synths and acid sounds to keep the momentum going. With deep basslines, melodic progressions, and intricate layers, it invites emotional exploration while also getting your body moving.

Nathan Pinder makes his mark on Persona 002 with a four-track voyage into the darker
side of the moon. Showcasing his trademark blend of drive, playfulness, and dancefloor
instinct.

and techno guided by ancient voices. 'Call Me' follows, diving deeper with a hypnotic,
evolving bassline, before 'Examiner' reaches the peak with stabbing synths and an
enticing vocal loop. The closing track 'Irving' keeps the energy pumping with an offbeat
bass groove built to get you moving. True to form, Pinder delivers a release that’s as
playful as it is powerful, ready for a system near you.
