what is this cheeky bit of breaksy psychedelia? great mix!

Undeniably one of my biggest inspirations, the ever-talented @kondukukonduku presents a mix in his signature style, a unique soundscape of charming rhythms and melodies.

I've been a big fan of the Konduku ever since his debut album, Kiran, on @nousklaeraudio in 2018. Since then, Ruben has released an impressive and diverse catalogue on labels such as Spazio Disposable, Delsin & Idle Hands, often drawing on his Turkish heritage.

Beyond his incredible productions, Konduku is known for long, mind melting and crafty DJ sets & mixes. His closing set at De School for ADE in 2019 was one of my favourite DJ sets to date!

Thank you so much for putting this one together Ruben!

Animix Ninety One: Severja (Live @ Third Eye Festival)

As a region, Southeast Asia plays host to a colourful electronic music scene, rich with diverse sounds, landscapes and audiences. In recent years, cross-pollination and collaboration have become important facets of this scene, with inspiration and energy transmitting regularly between cities and crews. Central to many of these exchanges has been Bangkok-based DJ, producer and label-head @sunjuhargun, whose distinctive blend of vibrant, sophisticated psychedelia and the natural sounds of his surroundings have seen him grace stages in clubs, caves, forests, warehouses and castles across Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and onwards into Europe. 

His current project, @siamesetwinsrecords, also finds a solid foundation in pan-Asian connections. A platform to explore old-world chants and ceremonial percussion, the label hosts many of Sunju's own works, including Bollywood-inspired acid made as Mogambo and wildly meditative Thai temple drone music as Khun Fluff. 

Sunju’s Patterns of Perception 99 is a recording from a recent visit to Japan - more specifically from his appearance at a Transcendence party at Circus in Tokyo. 
Humming with psychedelic movement, this set finds Sunju channelling the intimacy of the venue to great effect, intuitively balancing nostalgic groove, sweaty exotica and cutting-edge trippiness. As we descend further into the mix, it's impossible to not feel a tightening of focus as spiralling energies shimmer and release. 

"Anything could happen, everything was possible, all is connected" 
- Sunju's perfectly apt before/during/after summation.

Patterns of Perception 99 - Sunju Hargun

New mix for you and its goodie! 

Through the more positive connective powers of the metaverse, we became aware of Takumi after he commented on one of our crews mixes, forging a new friendship and prompting us to add him to a small trance FB community. Sharing music and insightful knowledge of his own involvement in the early 00's trance scene in Japan, naturally linked him with other collectives and label owners who have since hosted his mixes and been able to show case his selector skills.  Missing the boat slightly to extend our own invitation, the excitement when we did has clearly been channeled deeply into providing us with the prefect S:S mix that we're very happy to share.

"I often build mixes up from light, floaty frequencies, slowly layering in sounds, but for this mix, I wanted to be right in the intensity of the situation from the start.

This story follows an abandoned spaceship, adrift in the depths of the cosmos. Something strange and perplexing has happened here. Unnerving and claustrophobic from the get-go, this initial constriction of pressure is gradually unwound as the mix twists and turns through a variety of ominous soundscapes…"

As we edge nearer to our 100th mix, we seek to Berlin for textural techno melodies from dutch producer and DJ Konduku aka Ruben Üvez. Having graced some of our favorite labels like Donato Dozzy's Spazio Disponibile, Nous'Klaer, Delsin, Midgar and more, Üvez has become a maestro in layering UK techno stylings with a European flavour, finding that perfect balance between space and drums. 
His wisdom in also finding tracks of this style have become an integral part of his DJ sets being incorporated beautifully to the point of losing yourself even in the more relentless parts. A journey to say the least that very few can put you on, displaying Üvez's approach that could be comparable to that of modern greats like Batu and Donato Dozzy. And that is what Konduku has done here on Phonica 99. Recorded live from a Midgar party in Berlin recently that transports you to that time and moment so alluringly, we have a chat to Üvez more about the concept and where his head was at during this set.

Last week, Malaysian born @differentshadess warmed up the main stage of Harmony’s 8th anniversary with a melting-mind opening set. She is best known for her precise mixing that waves through genre-bending selections. 

Jumping back to that moment, she recorded an excerpt that catches her essence, musical spectrum & energy that radiates through her own sounds.

A set full of high-tech sounds, psychedelic rhythms and deep atmospherics. 

Dive in & get lost.
