Today we launch a mix series that has been in our heads for many years. What a better way to do so than with a friend who holds a special place in our hearts : https://soundcloud.com/internationalmac.

Mac is a rare kind of DJ whose style never stopped to evolve and to explore, while always remaining true to himself. He is a touching, sensitive, generous, quirky soul who always pours his personality, his intelligence and his feelings into the music. Our existences are bound up to his, being at the core of a group of friends who welcomed us both in Berlin at pivotal moments of our lives. Since then, these people and this city have continually inspired us, helping us to find ourselves and thus, contributed to the very essence of tunnel.

The story behind this mix also has a full-circle feeling to it, as it came together in the most natural way, encapsulating a moment in time that holds significance for all of us. It was recorded spontaneously, in one take, last week-end in the infamous shared flat of Krausnickstraße. This happened after a session in which Mac played alone all day, while a few friends were sharing a nice time. His record bag was full of new finds from a recent dig in London as well as old re-discoveries from his own collection. His head and heart were charged with the emotions, the memories and the sonic impressions of his recent experiences, after a tumultuous year full of changes and personal growth. At the end of the day, when everybody left the room, we decided to start recording, feeling that something was about to happen…

Occasionally, Mac wears his signature purple velvet trousers and reveals the weirdo wizard facet of his personality. Here, Purple Mac is taking us on a journey : hypnotic, mysterious, emotional, slightly epic but also sometimes stuck in this stationary state of hypnosis. There is also a sense of madness and absurd that emanates throughout the trip. The atmosphere is sometimes contemplative, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes cheeky, others crazy, all of those moments balanced with a feeling of flow that translates a certain state of maturity…

From the timing in Mac’s personal life, to the moment in our friendships, and to the music selection itself, there is a mystical sense of evidence that runs behind this mix, which is probably what makes it such a special one for us.

Thanks to Mac for sharing a piece of himself in the shape of this hypnotic tunnel. We’re already obsessed by it and we hope you will be too!

The Basic Moves Of … OSCAR FAIVRE (live at Hoppetosse/The Joint 2025)

The next episode of our mix series is from Oscar Faivre, recorded at the legendary Hoppetosse boat in Berlin during The Joint party back in May 2025. Oscar opened with a long deejay set, setting the vibe for the night. This French-but-now-Berlin-based record lover masters the craftsmanship of a warm-up set like no other. In a world where dance music becomes faster and instantly flashy, Oscar takes the opposite direction, and during that night he took us on a journey into deep, honest house music of all kinds, not shy to play grooves with colours and richly-arranged tracks. 
Oscar is an architect by day; you can hear this in his carefully curated track selection and overall flow of the recording. Teamed up with his friend Eltous, he runs Tunnel, the record label and event. With only two records out, they have defined a modern deep house sound rooted in authenticity and history. Good things take time, and Oscar is in no rush. Let’s take time together and enjoy the ride.

Cartulis Podcast 069

Longtime Parisian digger and founder of Kermesse World, Amau returns to the podcast circuit after a long hiatus.

Rooted in personal postmodern frictions and entangled with today’s cultural landscape, Amau approaches selection as a form of documentation, assembling tracks that trace the current electronic music imbroglio, whether on the club floor or within more intimate listening spaces.

What unfolds is an eerie, unsettling journey driven by subtle yet raw energy, moving through liminal zones of buried sentimentality while delivering sophisticated, elegant bangers with quiet force.

Amau - Cartulis Podcast 069

An EP made with the outdoor dancefloor in mind. A eclectic array of tracks, ranging from deep vibing beats to high-energy melodic techno with a hint of gabber.
