Technology as the number one source of inspiration. Real time musical programming, unlimited improvisation and experimentation. Stretching the boundaries of electronic music.
Atom™ and Tobias. have been two key figures in the development of European ‘techno’ from the very beginning. Active since the 1980s, both artists have represented major cogs in the community. 1990 marks their first collaborative performance in Frankfurt, emerging as one of the first live shows ever played within this scene. From here the two started a journey of sonic explorations which led them to release the mighty “Elektroniikkaa” live recording from Helsinki and Montreux. Their subsequent releases are all derivatives of live performances, which consistently remain the number one focus.

Despite a spatial separation given by Atom’s relocation to Chile and Tobias’ to Berlin, upon reconnecting with the machines in 2003 creative flow surged spontaneously. Throughout the expressive tool of live performance, Atom™ and Tobias are able to create sound through an eccentrical deviation from all musical standards and a total adaptation to their environment.

This is the core of their improvisations: a total abandonment to each other's creativity, in which their consciousnesses merge and flow into the instruments in front of them.
Having both experienced three decades of music and some of the world’s most exceptional dance floors such as Berghain or Panorama Bar, their knowledge of the sonic realm is limitless. Their latest performances have reached clubs such as Kyiv’s Closer to Japan’s Labyrinth Festival in Japan.

Sunju Hargun @ Paral·lel 2024

We’re two weeks away from Mostra 2025. Final prep is in full swing, and over here at Delayed, we’re marking the moment with a special one. A two-hour recording from ABSIS—Mostra resident, local legend, and someone who’s been quietly shaping his own corner of the scene for years.

This one’s from Gare Porto, aka the Portuguese tunnel—one of those rare venues where the setting does half the work. ABSIS played alongside Nico and André Cascais for one of the recent Extramostra nights, and what came out of it is something else. A deep, locked-in ride that doesn’t bother with the usual build-and-drop patterns. It’s not about reaching some peak moment—it’s about staying in the zone and letting things unfold naturally. This set is pure spiral techno—deep, hypnotic, and tunnel-vision tight. It moves with that kind of quiet intensity that sneaks up on you. No flash, no filler. Just steady pressure and perfectly measured pacing. Like being pulled along some underground Iberian rail line, eyes closed, body moving on instinct. ABSIS keeps full control from start to finish, guiding the whole thing with an ease that only comes from time and taste.

You can feel the room in the recording—the acoustics of the tunnel, the crowd syncing up, that low-end weight that holds everything together. It’s a full-on experience, even in playback. There’s something about this set that sticks with you. The way it just moves—no big drama, no gimmicks, just pure direction and control. It’s the kind of mix that makes you wish you were there… and also kind of convinces you that you were.

ABSIS doesn’t overstate anything. He doesn’t have to. He locks into a mood and stays there, pulling everyone in with him. And if this set from Gare Porto is any sign of what’s coming—then that closing slot at Vall d’Hebron is going to be serious.

Hold tight. Mostra’s almost here.

If you were lucky enough to be there, DJ Maria's deep, transcendent trip likely remains etched firmly into your memories. Her legendary Saturday evening set has rightfully earned its place as a celebrated piece of Monument Festival’s history. Reflecting on her experience, she shared:

“..One of those unforgettable memories is Monument Festival. It was one of the best festivals of my life, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to perform in such a dream-like setting..”

Dream-like is the perfect way to describe her sound. Her set was a seamless blend of techno, trance, and acid—timeless and yet completely attuned to the moment. If you weren’t there, well..today’s your lucky day. 

Take a trip back to the forest and relive the dream today.

Neel Hybrid/modular live @ Freerotation15

Neel [ Prologue ] Italy

This is Neel's live recording set at FullPanda Night in Berlin. 

Giuseppe Tillieci, aka Neel, grew up in Curinga, southern Italy. Neel has always been fascinated by electronic music and the technical aspects behind it. Pushing his curiosity a notch further, he built his first mixer at the age of 13. He developed his own personal taste for experimental sounds at the University of Music in Rome and subsequently in Rotterdam. In that period Neel found his obvious fulfillment in obscure, deep and underground electronics. His set is deep house-techno going through ambient atmospheares and melting with different performance situations, without anything really being defined or predictable.

The man has always had a strong flair for music production, which produced the collaboration with Prologue Music and, in 2011, the first "Voices From the Lake" EP release. The Voices From The Lake project – Neel’s collaboration with Donato Dozzy – grew from both their professional and social history. It’s the result of a long, hot summer in the studio, working side by side. The VFTL project already has an album scheduled for early 2012 as well as an intense live tour focused on the interaction between digital and analogue machines.

Neel’s solo album will be released in 2012 on Canadian label Silent Season in addition to other stuff on Prologue.

Smoke Machine Podcast 030 Neel

Neel [ Prologue ] Italy

Wings of the wave, the mist spreads in the air.
A night owl flew in, staring at the mirror.
Two deep dark pupils. 

Through the windows of a thousand-year wisdom it perceives, its ears follow the heart beat of dark forest, the night owl utters smokey analogue: 

"Listen to the words of a bluish underwater phantom
hear the sudden burst of rising bubbles
Go deep down the ocean, dream way above the sky
all rise, people, let the trip begin."

The latest release of Donato Dozzy and Neel's collaboration project "Voices From The Lake" received excellent reviews, and we were there in 2011 to feel it by ourselves at Labyrinth. It was one of the best live ever.

Voices From The Lake has finished their US tour in July 2012, and Neel is about to start his Asia tour in September. The first gig at Smoke Machine with an exclusive all-night-long set, we are very excited seeing his DJ set in Taipei.

Thanks to Neel for spending much time to create this mix, and it is a pleasure to host it on Smoke Machine. Enjoy!

Neel-Voices from the Lake

Italian producer Neel is a meticulous producer who has earned a fine reputation for his smooth, supple and hypnotic techno output. It has come so far - both in solo form and as Voices from the Lake with Donato Dozzy - on labels like Prologue, whilst a new EP is due later this year, as is a much anticipated debut full length, Phobos, on the Spectrum Spools label. When it comes to club and festival performances, Neel is both an experienced DJ who can plot real sonic stories, but so too does he play live with Dozzy as Voices from the Lake, and more recently he has started performing cerebral AV shows with abstract visuals accompanying his heady soundscapes.
