Then, we’ll dive into the Algerian electronic music scene with DJ-producer Taha One. He will share insights into the local music system and treat us to an hour-long techno set, blending North African percussion sound and journeys with techno beats.

Vladimir Ivkovic vs Switchdance - The Gardens - Boom Festival 2025

We’re delighted to share a true collectors item of a mix; a 7 hour b2b from Jane Fitz & Carl H, recorded at Transmissions in Studio 94, London in December 2021.

Some live recordings need to be put out quickly before the music ages and the records become overplayed, but not this one. It could be from any time over the years as timeless-tune-after-sought-after-banger are built and blended with the kind of precision and flow that can only come from DJ’s like Jane and Carl. 

From the low-slung start spanning EBM and downtempo gems through to the tunnelling psychedelic crescendo, this is a true masterclass in how to build and pace a set… and it sounds just as incredible today as it did on the night.

This mix was mastered at the Area 52 Studio

After a little hiatus Tunnel Vision Records flyerman is back on @lyl_radio for opening his eleventh season on the web.

Land with us on a new Planète Noire odyssey with a new kind of sounds generated from our nevrotic minds.

Some souvenirs from earth, some souvenirs from space.. Don't be afraid to step in a new black hole with us : Take your brainticket for 2 hours of transcendental orgasm.

Welcoming on the first hour Berlin and Lisbon-based DJ and producer @hypnotic-black-magic .

Head behind the well-established label and event series @art-bei-ton , shaping since 2018 her vision of the scene through hypnotic sounds, psychedelic visuals and gender-balanced line ups.

Inspired by nostalgic and avant-garde electronic sounds since her early teenage years, HBM has developed her music taste around hypnotic techno, atmospheric ambient, psychedelic sounds and IDM/tribe. Collecting tracks with a preference for loopy patterns, dreamy pads, groovy rhythms, and trancey basslines, HBM’s goal is to drive the audience through a cathartic journey - dancing through obscure thoughts, meditative states, and sensual expressions.

@stakhan is taking care of the second part with a special darkness mix inspired from early summer 90's raves in Italy.

Enjoy a journey fueled with hypnotic techno, atmospheric ambient, trippy sounds and IDM/tribe

Go further your mind enjoy the ride.

See you on the other side. 🌚💫🌚

Recorded in December 2025 at LYL Radio studio in Lyon, France.

Makaan is committed to breaking down barriers and building bridges through the universal language of music.

Spotlight on MENA & SWANA region Talent
In a world where social media often dictates success,  artists face unique challenges due to restrictions and censorship. Makaan Records takes a stand by spotlighting these incredible talents, bringing their art to the global forefront.
