Jori Hulkkonen - Quick To Judge, Slow To Execute

Musical landscapes, mixed by some of the most extraordinary artists these days from all over the world - so this list contains stylistically diverse sets, fusing different genres to create a unique personal sound - 
all bringing to arise old polyrhythmic structures, once used in spiritual /religious rituals to create an altered state of mind, that enables the opportunity to listen to what is resounding behind the beats... 

Shifting the boundaries to what's beyond the beats

Dreems is the solo project of Sydney DJ Angus Gruzman – a man who can fairly claim responsibility for inspiring kids towards the dance floor for over a decade. As Gus Da Hoodrat, he was a long-serving member of the Bang Gang party crew and he’s ensuring the good times continue with his involvement in the Motorik label and the regular parties they throw. 

His mix for i-D is the kind of journey that only someone with an impressively eclectic record collection could take you on. Angus describes it as a “mix that was made with a certain rug in mind (it knows who it is). There was no more than a chair and a packet of empty crisps on the rug that I was playing to that evening. It's an intimate mix formulated in my mind for the open space of your mind. It’s 100% vinyl, 100% vibe and 100% me on the Persian rugs.”
Rug up and listen in.

Jex Opolis - Exclusive Set for OCHO by Gray Area [8/25]

"There was a time that I hated techno, because it was too functional, lazy, non-creative and without any imagination in my eyes. Thanks to labels as Minimal Wave/Cititrax, L.I.E.S., Hotflush and Phantasy, to name a few, techno got its soul back again. These recent discoveries have made me enthusiastic about techno all over again, and that’s what I hope you’ll hear as well."

Reza Athar is a name that has been snapping the necks of the club elite for quite some time now, so it seems. However, his quick rise actually started just over a year ago. Starting with his Horizon concept, in which he invites artists that needed to be introduced in Holland, he quickly got recognized for his diverse style and infectious DJ sets. Reza's style is very diverse. He can dive into some italo, head over to post 80’s house and head on to techno, and he can do all of this in under ten minutes. The unique aspect about all of this, is that even though his love for music crosses many genre borders, he is always on point with telling his story, and blending all his records into a single piece of music.

In this 90 minute podcast he will showcase his recent developments, and live up to the name of being a true story teller. Enjoy!

Horizon and Kaap A’dam, two event organizers from the Amsterdam scene with a knack for up-and-coming & extraordinary artists, are touching down on the beloved Woodstock beach venue in Bloemendaal for one of the final, sun-laden summer celebrations under the musical guidance of three superbly selected acts, including revered Trouw resident Job Jobse, all-round selector Mr. Ties and Italian high-potential Italian duo Discodromo.

Discodromo has been making name for themselves by shaking up labels such as BPitch Control, Dissident and Slow Motion for over eight years with their signature sound, which is, next to house and techno, heavily influenced by Italy's biggest export in the 80s: italo. Discodromo however have taken the genre's poppy foundation into something darker and more suitable for today's musical landscape. As showcased in their 2012 track "Argento", and in this mix.

Cinthie: ADE Special  - 25 October 2025

Hold tight for a belter of a mix from Paperkraft - the latest crew member to be join Sally C's Big Saldo's Chunkers label. We're loving the vibes on the Somethin' Nasty EP so go check that after this mix! https://ffm.to/bsc008a

"I felt that this mix needed to capture my whole style.
It’s centered around my roots in house music, but also includes music from the 90~00s that deeply influenced me, some of my current favorites, my latest Chunker release and unreleased tracks — from funky and techy to more proggy vibes.

People might have different impressions of my DJ style, and that’s probably because I imagine so many different settings — from small bars to big venues, in Japan and abroad. It’s impossible to express everything within just one hour, but I think this mix turned out to be something special. I hope you can let the music take over and enjoy it with me. Thanks!" - @pprkrft

H.A.N.D. MIX 078 - BELL TOWERS (HALLOWEEN SPECIAL)

September's come to a close and we're back in action for the next episode of the Phonica Mix Series! This month we've enlisted the talents of Reza Athar for an eclectic mix of sonic pleasure! Reza's made quite a name for himself lately in both the Netherlands and across Europe. As a DJ, Reza works with moods and atmospheres and his goal behind the decks is to surprise people with something unexpected every time. His fluid mixing skills and surprising selections have secured him residencies at Horizon at Canvas and MIND at Radion (both in Amsterdam) but it was one of his flawless sets at Trouw that propelled him into the limelight which resulted in regular appearances at Berlin’s Der Salon Zur wilden Renate and a some essential festival dates as well. When he's not behind the decks he's organizing to bring other great selectors to come play along side him at his residencies. In recent times he's had Erol Alkan, Massimiliano Pagliara, Daniele Baldelli, Trevor Jackson, Prins Thomas and Ivan Smagghe all come down to represent. To help you get to know Reza a little better we asked him to answer a few questions down below. Enjoy!
