 DJ SHIMO HISAE – FINRG MAY MIX: AN ETHEREAL DESCENT INTO FREEFORM FAIRYCORE

Somewhere between the frostbitten edges of Finland and the mystic woodland beats of Japan, a new legend is being written in 175 BPM bursts of euphoric chaos. Enter DJ Shimo Hisae, the fairy princess-turned-cat-girl, survivor of darkness, and architect of sonic enchantment. She’s clawed her way from myth into mix, and she’s casting her spell on this month’s FINRG Recordings guest mix — a sacred offering of freeform hardcore straight from the depths of her fairy forest.

Shimo isn’t just another DJ. She’s a dream incarnate, her lore wrapped in heartbreak and rebirth, now channeled through blistering basslines and crystalline synths. Born under cursed stars and locked in towers of silence, her sound rages like a storm through the cages of the past — fierce, fast, and free.

This isn’t just a mix. It’s a metamorphosis.

Curated with the essence of FINRG’s signature high-octane aggression and the ethereal shimmer of Japanese freeform artistry, Shimo’s May guest mix is a transcendental trip that dances on the knife's edge between melody and madness. Expect unreleased gems, chaotic uplifts, and vocals that echo like lost spells cast at dawn.

Featuring tracks from Finnish underground icons and Japanese rhythm sorcerers alike, this mix is a love letter to two nations of rave — stitched together by someone who understands both pain and power in every drop.

Enter the fairy forest. Embrace the BPM. Escape the ordinary.

Whether you're moshing in your kitchen or crying in the club, Shimo Hisae’s FINRG mix is your portal to another world. Just beware: you may never want to leave.

FINRG Guest Mix 5/2025 - Shimo Hisae (90min Exclusive)

Release date on all major digital music stores & streaming platforms: June 13th, 2025

Austrian techno DJ and producer Alecid, hailing from Vienna, makes a powerful debut on Altered Reality Records with her new single, "Salvation Ritual". A fierce fusion of dark, driving techno with eerie melodic textures and tribal grooves, this track is a hypnotic plunge into ritualistic rhythm. Expect a thunderous kick, razor-sharp percussion, and haunting vocal touches woven seamlessly into a soundscape that’s as melodic as it is menacing. Cleverly constructed breakdowns and a stunning outro packed with impact ensure this is one for the late-night floors.

On remix duties, label mainstay Mycorave delivers his signature style — a high-energy, hardtrance reinterpretation infused with a nostalgic 90s spirit. Layered synths, uplifting vibes, and excellent vocal treatment transform the original into a driving, emotional journey, showcasing Mycorave’s expert production and deep connection to Altered Reality’s retro-rave ethos. Together, these two versions of Salvation Ritual encapsulate a modern homage to the past, forged in the fires of techno’s dark heart.

We hope you like it and are most curious to receive your feedback!

Like it, share it, and let's rave like we used to!
