Hello hello,

I've long wanted to create mixes that ground, soothe, and open new perspectives through music.

I regularly listen to ambient, IDM, and other contemplative sounds to rest and refresh my mind when I'm not mixing or producing techno or spending time in clubs.

I finally made time to assemble the first installment of this tranquil journey. It features some of my current favorite ambient pieces, woven into a cohesive musical collage intended for attentive background listening, meditation, or simple calm.

I hope you find it as rewarding as a typical dance set. Perhaps even more. Tell me what you think, and let me know in the comments if you need any track IDs.

Wishing you a restorative Sunday and the courage to love yourself and others in this challenging world.

Gannein - Ambient Series - 001

Mary Yuzovskaya's Monday Off rounds out 2025 with its eighth vinyl-only various artists compilation, arriving 12th December, featuring Feph, Rasser, Mathys Lenne, and Xhato.

Opening the record is Florida's Feph, co-operator of Alchemista Records and Zosimos, with 'A Realization', where wild electric currents crackle over a subtle, sharp beat as shocks and zaps scatter into the darkness. Spanish DJ and producer Rasser follows with 'Constant Pulse', a hulking techno chugger of warped rhythms and hammering metallic hits.

On the flip, France-born Germany-based Mathys Lenne, known for outings on Mord, ORBE, and Blue Hour, offers 'A Gentle Singularity', its tumbling percussion and drone-like synth casting a hypnotic spell while sparkling high-end shimmers above. Previous Monday Off contributor Xhato then closes with 'Lemon Swirl', a mystical finisher where soft sequences snake through brooding ambience, providing a guiding light as the kick drum marches resolutely.

Amøk : : Flashback EP @amok_music

Amsterdam-based artist Sina La Lenia presents a full-circle sci-fi odyssey designed for deep space explorers. Across five tracks of high-pitched bleeps, precision collides with density and driven pads, forming a bold signature of his unmistakable aesthetic. Engaging grooves, reinforced by powerful low-end physicality and cosmic depth, shape a complete, forward-driven journey through lush textures, resonant drones, and impactful rhythms.

Welcome to Amøk’s black hole: a domain where time folds, frequencies blur, and gravitational pull locks you into orbit.

Flashback EP

Previews: Amøk - Flashback EP

For this HYPNO Sounds, we’re venturing into new terrain – still hypnotic, but warped into psychedelic territory, as we edge closer to VOL.14 with Hitam.
Lovefromsoph, a longtime HYPNO mainstay, has been part of our journey since day one. Usually known for her signature hypnotic drive that's synonymous with our core sound, this time she’s shifted gears – delivering a gorgeous, wiggly wormhole of sound to set the tone for Hitam’s shamanic four-hour ritual on November 22nd.

Just over an hour of shimmering, off-grid grooves that hold their tension just beneath eruption. We’ve wanted to introduce this strain of techno not just on our dance-floors, but through our mix series too – so let it pull you in. 

New territory also brings new-found change. From now on our guest mixes will no longer be anonymous.

Follow @lovefromsophh on IG to keep up with her journey.

Love,
HYPNO

Come Early. Stay Late. Dress to Sweat.

HYPNO SOUNDS 14 – lovefromsoph

This recording is very closely related to current cosmic events, as the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has entered our Solar System and even scientists are pondering its origins.

Us, who know what has been happening on our Earth in recent years and know about the spiritual awakening of countless alien souls around the world, we have no doubts or questions.

We have traveled light years to reincarnate into human form to help and navigate this transformation and we know the Truth ✨

We understand existence, we possess a wisdom that the human mind is incapable of possessing 👽

Enjoy the story, it's not a fiction, it's beyond science 🛸 

The graphic artwork, including a real 3I/ATLAS photography captured by the Gemini South Observatory, was created by me, as always ~ Nitromi Galien ART
