For the newest instalment, i'm really happy to welcome the incredible Brussels-based AliA (@aliamusicc). The local mainstay is a regular on Kiosk radio and runs her own label - @artisjokrecords. Alyah, better known as AliA,  has an exciting & unique approach to dj'ing. She is known for her blend of contemporary club music with jazz, classical and experimental sounds. 

I find AliA's musical outputs incredibly refreshing - the kind of artist who reminds you what a really good DJ can do - they can present genres & sounds to you that you'd otherwise maybe not typically explore, in a new and exciting way. For her Animix, Alyah has gone for an intensely chill blend of ambient & immersive music, with minimal, glitchy, dub techno, jazz, classical sounds and more.

Thank you so much for the mix Alyah <3

London-based artist Sybil is a true storyteller behind the decks, celebrated in equal measure for her cinematic take on techno as she is for crafting deep ambient journeys that soothe the soul. Whether for the dancefloor or for introspective listening, her selections are always guided by a distinct emotional depth, weaving intricate sonics with a healthy dose of psychedelia for good measure. 

Exploring the inspiration for this flawless session, Sybil describes it as:

“I’ve dived deep into the ocean for this mix, a wave through time, flowing between psychedelia of the 70s, 90s, present-day and beyond. A modern take on 90s chillout mix CDs, a meditation on the ocean, a sun-soaked holographic daydream by the sea ~~~”

Tune in now for a timeless deep trip through the past, present, and future.

Walking with Molly follows a twenty-five year old grappling with the fallout of an impulsive TikTok gone viral. After gaining an unexpected following overnight, Molly fights to forge an identity online, fast becoming a flaming car crash you just won’t be able to stop watching.

Between questionable dates, minor mental breakdowns and an ever growing divide between her TikTok and reality, Molly’s story questions how far we’ll go to stay relevant in a world that thrives on spectacle—and what happens when the mask slips.

"disquiet, reprieve, unbind"

Aired on VPN Radio, virtualpublic.net, on August 7th, 2025
Recorded live at Plata Lounge on the Palm Reader label series preview night on 06.13.2025  @israel-vines

~

We’ve been big fans of Israel Vines ever since hearing him play out in LA warehouses some 15+ years ago. A true veteran of the US underground, Israel spent his formative rave years in Detroit and Chicago in the early 90’s - where he worked at the legendary Gramaphone Records - before going on to become the distinguished producer/DJ we know him as today, with releases on Tresor, Semantica, Cult Figures, and Eye Teeth (sub-label of Detroit’s own @ithqdetroit ).

Both Israel’s productions and sets reveal his encyclopedic knowledge of, and a deep love for, abstract electronic music - always carrying his signature heady sound and flair for bold artistic expression. Israel has played for us several times before at @gradientcampout and other collabs with our homies eternal @printshop.club ❤️ We're thrilled and honored to have his contribution to Palm Reader, our series dedicated to ambient and experimental for wayfinding in stillness. This mix was recorded live at our Palm Reader label preview night (!) on Friday, June 13th, indoors at Plata in Silver Lake. Thank you Israel for joining us that night, and trusting us with your beautiful mix 🙏 Enjoy! ~

Fresh off the release of his outstanding album ‘Berlin’ we welcome Felix K - a true purveyor of sophisticated, deep electronic music. His work explores the fringes of techno, jungle, dub, and ambient, building immersive sound worlds that defy easy categorization. Known for his meticulous approach to production and his ability to weave complex narratives through sound, Felix K has carved out a unique space for himself in the global underground scene.

For this marathon journey, Felix K delivers a masterclass in patience and precision, guiding listeners through a three-hour odyssey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling. The mix is a testament to his expansive musical knowledge and his ability to connect seemingly disparate genres into a cohesive, flowing narrative.

In his own words: "The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. Beginning with slower Dub Techno, it slips into the early, minimalist 85/170 Drum-and-Bass era, showcasing plenty of those formative highlights before closing with authentic Amen Breaks combining with a sound design that actually anticipates the vibe of some of today’s darker techno productions."

Spinning Grounds w/ Esposito

The monthly show hosted by @katharina-davids is returning with guest @esposito-2834

Audio engineer, co-founder of the Griessmuehle Grimebox nights and a resident at REEF, the Berghain event series run by DJ Darwin. Big honour having Esposito spin a blend of ambient, downbeat, electronica, trip-hop... —  an absolute treat on a cloudy summer evening at the Feld. 

'Spinning Grounds' is all about opening grounds - for both newcomers and experienced selectors alike - to spin music outside of club spaces to explore a wide range of genres from house, Detroit, deep house, dub house, ambient, breaks, UK garage, minimal, dub techno to .......

The title NEuripides merges “Neuron” and “Euripides,” reflecting both the technical method behind the composition and its aesthetic resonance. The piece is generated using an artificial neural network composed of four neurons - a minimal AI system that produces layered sonic gestures throughout the training process. These gestures, often repetitive and evolving, evoke the presence of an ancient Greek chorus: collective, ritualistic, and emotionally charged.

At the same time, the textures and timbres of NEuripides are deeply rooted in the contemporary world. They echo the spectral fragments that define our current sonic environment - from urban infrastructure to data flows and media noise. In this way, NEuripides becomes a dialogue between ancient voice and artificial system, memory and code, evoking how the echoes of the past can still speak through the networks of today.

NEuripides was first performed as a 4-channel fixed media work in Hannover Musik Hochschule in Kammermusiksaal Uhlemeyerstr as part of the exchange program between MIAM and HMTMH. 28/06/2025, 7:30pm.
