Wave Arising (@wavearising) aka @69db aka Sebastian Vaughan has lived through many musical movements from hip hop to acid house, rave to hardcore. He began making his own as a drummer and drums remain at the heart of his weightless techno sounds all these years later. That was exemplified once more by his most recent album which is an exercise in rhythm that works equally on mind, body and soul. He has long been a part of several key techno collectives including Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac and Dharma Techno and seeks to bring movement, trance and spirituality to the weightless sounds he makes and plays as Wave Arising alongside the dancer Kynsie.

This week he has put together a special live mix that has been fully improvised in the studio as opposed to a standard DJ selection. It comes ahead of his performance as 69db at Dekmantel Festival this year and is a perfect example of the intense and ritualistic music he makes: it's a tribal soundscape constructed from supple, elongated and heavy rhythms, spaced-out ambient pads and experimental dub movements that are all doused in psychedelic overtones which consumes all your focus.

Spiral Tribe ist ein internationales Soundsystem, das zu den Protagonisten des Freetekno und der Rave-Bewegung zählt. Die Gruppe hat ihre Ursprünge in der Londoner Hausbesetzer-Szene und wurde nach ihrer Verhaftung beim Rave in Castlemorton 1992 weithin bekannt. Anschließend wechselte die Gruppe auf das europäische Festland, wo sie bis 1996 international tätig war. Wie zB in Berlin und Dresden. Die meisten noch aktiven Mitglieder leben nach wechselvollen Wegen heute in Frankreich und treten gemeinsam unter dem Projektnamen SP23 auf.





Spiral Tribe  @ Base 2 Dresden 1995

We’re honoured to welcome an absolute pioneer for DSS 111.
Spiral Tribe’s own 69db presents his Wave Arising LIVE set.
As a founding member of Spiral Tribe and R-Zac, and co-founder of Network 23 Recordings, 69db has been a driving force in the Hardtec and Tribe scenes since the early ’90s. His improvised live sets have pushed boundaries for over three decades.
Wave Arising, blending tribal techno with dub elements, was recently hailed by Resident Advisor as a standout performance at Dekmantel 2024.
This mix comes out of his work for the Wave Arising project he shares with dancer Kynsie. The project is aimed at returning focus to improvisation , music and movement as the main focus of our personal development in life. 

The mix is 100% improvised on the liveset and is about tuning in to our deeper selves and opening a channel within.

DSS 111 | 69db presents Wave Arising (Live)

Wave Arising (also known for his other project 69db) and Shlagga represent two different eras of rave and alternative party culture. Through Spiral Tribe and Sound Metaphors, Network 23 Recordings, and the Meta, they share a common philosophy built around freedom, community, and counterculture.

Bringing them together for Tour de Trance is a real pleasure. They perfectly embody what resonates with me today when it comes to defining musical movements within the alternative scene. Shlagga blends bass music, post-club, and trance with industrial rock, while Wave Arising crafts hypnotic live soundscapes, ranging from dub to tribal and Break n Bass.

The result: two mixes that are both distinct yet complementary. Shlagga’s is raw and dynamic, showcasing the diversity he brings to a set. Wave Arising takes us on a deep, trippy journey, building tension slowly and beautifully.
