Submerged In Sound [003] - Hugh Def

During a gig at Hala Odra in Szczecin, 2024-04-27, at the invitation of The Error collective, I recorded part of my performance. I have played a number of beloved classics and a lot of new, freshly released recordings by artists I respect. The action was so intense that I can't even write down one complete playlist - I apologize. I hope you will have a good time listening to this music! 🏴‍☠️🌹

May the force be with you,
m.

Recorded live from Fold, London for the Re:sistance on April 25th 2025. 

It was a true honour playing in the main room on one of my favorite sound systems ever. This set will forever be burnt into my memory as its one of the most enjoyable time I've had behind the decks. Big love and thanks for the Fold team for listening and allowing my the privalege to play in the main room.

Set the Mood with BR!NK!

For the 56th edition of the Set the Mood podcast series, we’re excited to welcome BR!NK. In this mix, BR!NK shares what the perfect opening set means to him:

It begins with a touch of ambient, completely beatless—setting the atmosphere gently. From there, it fluently transitions into deeper techno with a slower tempo, floating around 130 BPM. As the set progresses, it builds toward a more groovy and hypnotic flow. After about two hours, the BPM can rise to 138 or even higher. This natural progression is exactly what BR!NK aimed to capture in his contribution to the Set the Mood series.

BR!NK, the alias of Coen Brink (1992), was born in the Netherlands near Amsterdam and is currently based in Stuttgart, Germany. From a young age, he was obsessed with searching for and exploring new music—an obsession that laid the foundation for his love of House and Techno.

As a producer, BR!NK has released music on respected labels such as Splatter, Sense Affair, Influenced Records, Raw Pendulum, Trau-ma, EvilGroove, Donker, RM Label, Synergie, Schimmer, DifferentSound, and most recently, Safe Space. With a deep knowledge of both timeless classics and the latest underground releases, he crafts atmospheres that resonate whether in the club, at a festival, or during the afters.

In his sets, you can expect high-paced, groovy, and hypnotic techno. This is the perfect opener for that.

Born and raised in Berlin and now based in Leipzig, Parsec bridges the pulse of the club with the intricacy of experimental sound. His sets are carefully constructed narratives—fluid, story-driven experiences that unfold with intention and emotional weight. Whether navigating deep, hypnotic techno or atmospheric ambient textures, Parsec’s selections reflect a desire to explore contrast and cohesion in equal measure.

Outside traditional club settings, he delves into more experimental or ambient terrains, always with a focus on space, detail, and a strong sense of progression. With appearances at private parties and clubs like Elipamanoke, Parsec continues to shape his sonic identity in both intimate and larger settings.

Now as a member of Leipzig’s reconnect collective, he deepens his roots in the city’s underground, contributing to a growing community that values boundary-pushing sounds and immersive experiences. His sets are less about function and more about feeling—crafted to resonate long after the last beat fades.

Pierce: "With this podcast, my aim was to capture the vibe and energy that first hooked me on techno during my early clubbing days, its driving rhythm, the interplay of tension and release, and the warmth of low-end frequencies. Coming from the dancefloor myself, I believe it's the recipe to keep hips moving steadily throughout the night."
