"You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone? 
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."

"Vinyls caressed with the precision of a surgeon, slow and hypnotic blends, a surge of beats that chronicle this thrilling journey within an atmosphere of high-quality, high-voltage techno, at the heart of the warm Andalusian summer."

Olmo Rodríguez, known as Tevor Handa (@tevorhanda) from Sevilla, Spain, embarked on his electronic music journey in the year 2000, drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as The Chemical Brothers, The Durutti Column, or Kraftwerk. His DJ career, spanning 19 years, he initially explored the realm of house rhythms but swiftly unearthed his true passion within the classic techno genre. From that pivotal moment onwards, Tevor Handa's evolution as a DJ took a more serious and professional trajectory, infusing his sets with a technical and profound essence. Today, his Techno mixes are revered for their unwavering solidity, characterized by deep, hypnotic, and cerebral soundscapes that make a lasting impression, often extending into immersive extended mixes.

— Artist Intro —

Timnah signature approach to earthy dance music has been tried, tested and approved by swinging hips all over Europe. Developing her style from age 17 onwards, when she started playing in squats and industrial spaces around Basel, she’s continuously making her mark with warm, reverberating techno cuts from across the spectrum. During her residencies at Hinterhof Bar and Elysia, Timnah‘s sets fluently cover (and transcend) shades of techno, experimental and ambient music, establishing her as a firm favourite amongst dancers and peers. Smooth mixing skills, strong emotional narratives and an intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics continue to define her style, seamlessly cruising through the small hours of the night.

Back in April we invited Alfonso to perform an extended set, starting in the early afternoon till sunset.
The outcome was an epic dive, deep into his selection of vinyls, spanning ambient, dub and techno.

F-on @ Acquario - 22/4/23

So excited to welcome BLNDR to the series, a long-awaited delight after observing the French producer develop his magnetic and kaleidoscopic sound over the years. BLNDR's mix is glimmering and atmospheric, reflective of the patient and meticulous nature inhabiting his work as both BLNDR and his more-recent Traevor alias. Voiced in a heartfelt tone and assembled with a poet's touch, this set is a soft yet spry landing to an intense season, breathing a new air, fluttering to a new rhythm, earnest to the very end. I enjoyed this one immensely and I hope you will too. Thanks Tom!

Yin Yang Audio is the essence of experimentation.

Monochrome presents, 𝖍𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖑𝓥 : Pjenné, Passing Notes.

This winter, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
Pjenné (Penny O’Brien) is a familiar name in the Melbourne dance community. Through her imaginative club sets and weekly show on Melbourne’s PBSfm Radio, she has established herself as a critical fixture in the local scene. Though her sets may vary wildly, Pjenné has crafted a style that is distinctly her own - atmospheric whilst bass-heavy, it’s sure to make you want to move.
The after-hours see her navigating through all realms of dance music - energetic sets that are heavily driven by the psychedelic and progressive sounds of the 90s and beyond. Equally adept at playing small, sweaty basements as she is festival stages, Pjenné has made multiple appearances at the highly acclaimed Inner Varnika, Strawberry Fields, Golden Plains and Boiler Room.
Away from the dancefloor, Pjenné finds a sanctuary inside the radio booth. Her show Passing Notes further explores her fascination with the diversity of electronic music, as well as the community it fosters. The airwaves afford her the opportunity to showcase sounds a little more unorthodox. From early evening soundscapes, downtempo and emotional synth pop, to experimental club music, Passing Notes provides a crucial connection from club to community, also playing host to inspiring local and international talent. 
Pjenné’s passion for what she does is pervasive. Be it in the studio or on the dancefloor, the same beliefs shine through: the importance of community, of supporting each other and the necessity of a damn good dance.
