Live from Berlin's Refuge Worldwide. Lil chat, lil music, a nice time!

Refuge Worldwide 10 November 2022

With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Bogota-born, Berlin-based Tania Humeres Correa aka @thc_dj has perfected the art of high-energy sounds that get big room crowds close together. The Rinse FM host has her own party series La Noche with Byron Yeates and sibling DHC, and with the latter plays back-to-back as S-candalo. Acid, potent rave bangers, vocal gems and deeper delights all feature in her sets which always look to combine an unbridled sense of party with plenty of emotional nuance.

This week's mix was recorded just after the start of festival season so is aimed at getting your summer started in style. Staying true to her signature house sounds with plenty of warmth, euphoria and rolling grooves, it's a perfect representation of her ideal dance floor soundtrack. While leaning towards the energy of the main stage and "anthemic vastness," her selections never forget about the all-important elements of intimacy and soul which help the beats make a lasting impression.

There’s a certain kind of techno that doesn’t ask for attention… it takes hold and locks you in. Not with brute force, but with precision. No theatrics, no excess. Just pure pressure.

Deus Error is exactly that. Five cuts engineered for the kind of dancefloor where time dissolves and the only thing left is motion. Stripped to the bone. Pulsing with life. Every element serves a purpose: sine waves flicker like emergency lights, the groove is rigid but breathing, and somewhere deep beneath it all, there’s a sense of something breaking through.

This release is about timeless functionality. Control. Release. That moment at 6:42 a.m. when the kick’s still hammering and you’ve forgotten what came before and it doesn’t matter.

Nihil delivers techno the way it’s meant to be: honest, unrelenting, and built for the long night. GTG SOLO 005 doesn’t talk. It works.
