The Show hosted by CURA Berlin & Shelly Booo is returning with guest Fabio, co - founder of And Club & TOY TOY & resident Terry Aronis from Johannesburg, SA.

Founded in 2008 the TOYTOY brand has evolved from humble beginnings. What began as a monthly club night has matured into one of Johannesburg’s premier underground dance music nights, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. Renowned for their uncompromising music policy the collective of ardent individuals behind the brand are constantly pushing the boundaries of the music that Johannesburg clubbers are exposed to.

The Set is a live recording of a b2b from the Mielieop Festival Rave Cave TOYTOY takeover on 15th March 2025. 
Mieliepop festival is an amazing experience and the rave cave always delivers when it comes to the most amazing setting for a party. It goes without saying that the setting and being at a festival the sets that get delivered are often not your usual club bangers and the journey takes on a life of its own. Hoping you get a feel of what we mean when listening to this.

Portal: What Lies Beyond.

Episode 08: Meridian.r

This eighth foray into the otherworld is helmed by another resident of the UK’s North - Sheffield based Meridian.r. Curator of the excellent Cycle podcast - formally an event series bringing some top tier deep techno talent to an intimate warehouse in the Steel City - it is currently a series of mixes that shines a light on the northern adjacent left-field electronics scene.

No stranger to helming the decks himself, having been pushing the deep grooves at the likes of the iconic Groundwork and Magnetic North as well as his own events, we had the fine selections of Meridian.r on showcase at one of our recent monthly gatherings - wandering through a delightful garden of sounds that fit very well with our own tastes here at Portal.

Another entry into the series composed entirely on a pair of 1210s, Meridian.r’s mix weaves from the depths of ambient oceans through dub techno infused breaks and chuggers, the energy building tacitly until equilibrium is found in a heady concoction of hypnotic techno that rides the interplay between drive and groove in style. See you on the other side.

Text: 
Shoal makes his debut on space•lab with the Ular EP, a four-track expedition that deepens his fluid, percussive and richly textured signature sound.
Blending intricate rhythms with deep organic pulses, each track moves with a focused energy, driven by detailed and layered sound design, offering moments of intensity and spaciousness in equal measure. 
From the stomping opener, Ular, to the ethereal roller, Ankasa, the EP is primed for the dancefloor and is a powerful addition to Shoal’s growing body of work - further solidifying his place as one of the most standout producers in contemporary techno.

Shoal - Ular EP (SL017)

Release Date: 24th October 2025

A1. UFO95 – After Light Comes Shadow
A2. Z.I.P.P.O & Claudio PRC – Marte Rosso
A3. D-Leria – Underwater
B1. Stephanie Sykes vs Dyad – What Remains
B2. BIMOL – Fragmento En La
B3. Decoder – We Keep Lying To Ourselves


Fides Records celebrates ten years of independent sound and vision with the monumental 41-track release “FIDES X – 10 Years of Fides”. The first 12” X1, set to release on 24th October sets the tone for the seven-part vinyl journey, opening with a powerful statement of intent.

UFO95 introduces “After Light Comes Shadow”, a bleep-infused 4/4 cut whose broken accents unfold into layers of cinematic tension. Z.I.P.P.O and Claudio PRC follow with “Marte Rosso”, a poetic excursion across Martian landscapes shaped by evolving pads and hypnotic grooves. D-Leria’s “Underwater” plunges deeper still, driven by relentless modular propulsion and immersive aquatic textures.

The B-side expands the spectrum. Stephanie Sykes & Dyad contribute an untitled roller infused with spiritual intensity and organ-like resonance, while BIMOL’s “Fragmento en La” twists cinematic atmospheres and industrial edges into broken rhythms guided by a haunting Spanish vocal. Bringing the record to a close, Decoder delivers “We Keep Lying To Ourselves”—a slow-burning, 808-driven piece of subtle progression and timeless elegance.

Cataphonic Mix Series 40 __ Ulia

For over a decade, Pascal Hetzel has been a steady presence in Berlin's large electronic music community. He developed a knack for long free flowing hardware jam sessions, that traversed the whole spectrum of electronic dance music from dark, industrial-tinged techno to classic motor city electro and italo disco-appreciating euphoria. In addition to his work as one half of CYRK, Pascal Hetzel continues to make a name for himself as a solo artist. His sound is deeply influenced by Detroit techno’s rich legacy. His first release on Juan Atkins’ groundbreaking Metroplex label that got released in June 2025, marks another milestone in his career. It’s his first solo release since his EP on another Detroit-based label: Interdimensional Transmissions’ sub-label Eye Teeth and his solo-album on the Belgian label Arkham Audio. Rest assured, there is more to come, both with CYRK and as a solo artist.
