The next Deep Mind Music comes from one of my dearest friends, and greatest inspirations - hems

hems and I have a special connection, we both love to adventure through musical lands strange and beguiling, evocative and unusual, and have spent many hours together digging through obscure backcatalogs or making our own noises experimenting with hems’ many synthesisers in his studio in London 🧡

hems plays music like no one else I know, he has a magic touch and deep sensitivity for representing all shades of human existence. From the sublime to the transcendent, the unsettling to the hilarious, hems’ sets takes listeners to the beyond and then further still.

I first invited hems to make a mix many years ago, so I am very happy to finally welcome an entry from him. This recording is the first 2.5 hours of an all-night 8 hour set hems played at an intimate private gathering in Mexico City in March of this year.

In this recording hems coaxes us to drift inwards, to enter into an unusual landscape, to open up to all the elements of sound, contrasting pre-Hispanic music with vintage synthesizer tracks and much more.  

Listening to hems’ sets over the years has expanded my mind towards new possibilities, his selections and genius touch for programming evoking many deep epiphanies and insights. This mix is brimming with vitality and life, I hope you enjoy this kaleidoscopic voyage into the mystical 🌿 ~

Alongside DJing, hems produces very deep and intricate experimental electronic music I highly recommend checking out, often utilitising spatial audio systems or even playing gongs live, and he also runs the amazing Titrate records with @o-utlier, as well as his own mix series @hardcore-chillout with @EightFoldWay

The Bunker Podcast 235 comes from @erikluebs. This is a live set recorded in Milan on March 28 at the party Acquario.

Erik Luebs is a US-born musician and sound designer based in Japan. Eschewing typical genre tropes, Luebs approaches techno with a playfully disruptive technique, reinterpreting the fundamentals using built-from-scratch patches and labyrinthine sequencing. While the labor-intensive process is inspired by a wide range of luminaries such as Mark Fell and Rrose, the resulting music is firmly tied to the dance floor.

Luebs released an EP on The Bunker back in 2021, and has since released on DJ Nobu’s Bitta label (@djnobu_bitta), and @nousklaeraudio. He also has an upcoming release on the legendary @kompakt imprint.

Erik will be playing an ambisonic surround sound set for a horizontal audience at Going In at Reforestor’s Laboratory in Brooklyn this Friday, and an extended sunrise dancefloor set at The Bunker’s takeover of @nowadaysnyc Nonstop on Sunday morning.

The Bunker Podcast 235: Erik Luebs

This week. welcoming a dear friend and one of my all-time favourite DJs & producers, Swiss wizard @agonis-amenthia - part of the mystical Basel crew - @amenthia-recordings.

A "techno" sound so unique, modern & boundary pushing, it makes you question the genre entirely. Agonis has become known for his bass, techno, dub, idm-everything.. infused releases, always meticulous and full of surprises. On top of a an extremely reliable and exciting back-catalogue of music and always on-point curation of Amenthia alongside his label co-head Garcon, he is also an incredible DJ. Here for Animalia a special mix inspired by many special shared moments on the dancefloor <3  pure euphoria!

Thanks so much for this Dominic it's a pleasure to have you in the series :-)

We are delighted to bring you a gem from this year’s Mostra Festival: a two-hour live recording from Lynne, captured in Barcelona 2025. In this set, she moves with ease through ambient textures, deep basslines, rolling percussion, drones, and surprising rhythms. Her love for drum & bass and dubstep quietly ties it all together.

Lynne’s story began in Tokyo, where a first night raving to drum & bass changed everything. It sparked a move to London, where she soaked in jungle, dubstep, and the UK’s raw underground energy before returning home to shape her own sound within Tokyo’s experimental scene.

Now moving between Tokyo and London, Lynne explores the in-between spaces of techno, experimental, and drum & bass. Her mixes feel like small journeys: thoughtful, a little mischievous, and always true to the rhythms that first lit the spark.

Please enjoy this moment with Lynne’s musical selections - let it unfold slowly, take its time, and maybe surprise you along the way...

Thanks a lot to @lynne-tokyo

Arrang

Sparse, resonant piano notes echo in the darkness, supported by a deep, brooding bass. A haunting cello weaves between the spaces, heightening the atmosphere of tension and unease. The minimal arrangement evokes a sense of uncertainty and looming danger, perfect for cinematic drama, psychological thrillers, or crime investigations. (Stem files available.)
