a freestyle blend of trippy Christmas tunes.  

K-otic Christmas Mix-up

VA Yin and Yang Studio Gang is a meticulously curated compilation by STiX, also known as Deepy Sidhu, an artist who defines herself beyond labels and predefined styles. Her unique approach reflects a creative freedom that transcends boundaries, exploring soundscapes that range from introspective to explosive, always with depth and authenticity.

This VA is a direct reflection of her artistic vision: a celebration of the duality of life and music, balancing contrasts like light and darkness, chaos and harmony. STiX dedicated years to assembling a selection of tracks that resonate with one another, crafting an immersive and captivating sonic experience. More than just a compilation, Yin and Yang Studio Gang is an invitation to explore the infinite possibilities of electronic music without labels, guided by the visionary spirit of a curator who refuses to be confined by conventions.

In this installment of Sound Advice, we speak with Noizu, who has made waves since debuting on Skrillex’s HOWSLA compilation in 2017, and moving from London to Los Angeles. After meeting his mentor, Chris Lake, Noizu released one hit after another; from “LFO” and “Wavey” to his remix of DJ Snake’s “A Different Way,” and singles like “Summer 91 (Looking Back)” and “Dancing In The Dark.” In this exclusive interview, Noizu spoke about making it in the American dance music scene, his production, Techne label and upcoming Las Vegas residency, and the role that SoundCloud has played throughout his career.

🚀 Fate Breaker Has Arrived

Not all who shine were meant to stand in the spotlight. Some were meant to navigate the world quietly, bending fate with each step.

Fate Breaker is the next sonic chapter. It’s for those who once felt out of place, only to grow into the very force this world needs. The child who saw with their heart? They've grown up. They’ve learned how to walk among the very structures that tried to silence them—not to fit in, but to transform from within.

They move with intention. They speak through their presence. They know that sometimes the most radical act is simply to love in a world that teaches division.

This track tells the story of those who witness the future with clarity. They see what happens if we keep dividing—how destruction creeps in until it becomes too late to undo the damage. They carry this burden in silence, often condemned for their gifts, yet destined to become the elders their elders could never be.

It's a journey through the dark night of the soul—a reminder that transformation is found in the shadows.

But this one hits different. There's power behind the rhythm. Grace in the tension. Fire in the resolve. If it resonates, help me get it into the Beatport Top 10 for Peak Time Techno. A single purchase helps more than you know. And sharing it? That costs nothing but means everything.

💠 Stream it. Save it. Share it.For the quiet revolutionaries. For the ones who never stopped seeing.

4. ShadowStar - Let Go

Born in the heart of Texas, Shadowstar is on the ascent to becoming the latest Peak Time Techno producer/DJ to come out of Austin's burgeoning club scene. Since gaining the attention of Mau5trap and appearing on "We Are Friends Vol. 11" his releases have also appeared on IAMT, Affluenza, Lazuli Red, and Mercurial Tones.

With a sound that combines deep hypnotic elements with driving techno beats, Shadowstar has performed at legendary venues like The Concourse Project, as well as festivals like Seismic Spring Edition. His broad range of musical influences includes Umek and Matt Lange, as well as progressive rock icons The Moody Blues and Pink Floyd.

As a producer, his attention to detail in both sound design and engineering has made him one of the most in-demand instructors at Ill Gates' Producer Dojo and Bound To Divide's Basic Wavez. With a gift for both empathizing and gently guiding students toward their musical goals, Shadowstar is also recognized as a gifted professor of electronic music for all skill levels.
