Enter the wormhole with one of the techno artists we're most excited about in 2025.

Born in Osaka and now based in Tokyo, DJ MARIA. joins a decorated lineage of Japan's psychedelic elite, cut from a similarly explorative cloth as Wata Igarashi, Haruka and esoteric icons ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and DJ Nobu. This nerdy sanctum of deep techno is a notoriously hard world to break into: only the very best make the grade. DJ MARIA.'s head-spinning sets emphasise why she's already part of the club firmament at home, and is now in the midst of a global breakthrough.

Her trademark is tapestries of acid, trance and techno that strike a perfect balance between vibrancy, impact and restraint. She bit the bug through a teenage discovery of DVDs showing legendary psytrance raves like Solstice and Vision Quest, yet it wasn't until 2014 that she started DJing, balancing gigs with shifts at Tokyo's Face Records and, as of late, motherhood.

Today, as well as producing and touring venues such as FOLD and Bassiani, she helps run two boutique forest festivals—Moment and Transcendence—both of which play a big part in upholding Japan's storied techno tradition. DJ MARIA. has reached these heights principally because of her exceptional talent as a DJ, which is on full display on this week's RA Podcast.

The two-hour mix is pure manna for psychedelic techno heads, though we're confident the depth of feeling, subtle pacing and seamless stitching will lure in fans from across the electronic spectrum. RA.971 is a total treasure—the latest wow moment from an artist destined to have a career littered with them.

If you were lucky enough to be there, DJ Maria's deep, transcendent trip likely remains etched firmly into your memories. Her legendary Saturday evening set has rightfully earned its place as a celebrated piece of Monument Festival’s history. Reflecting on her experience, she shared:

“..One of those unforgettable memories is Monument Festival. It was one of the best festivals of my life, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to perform in such a dream-like setting..”

Dream-like is the perfect way to describe her sound. Her set was a seamless blend of techno, trance, and acid—timeless and yet completely attuned to the moment. If you weren’t there, well..today’s your lucky day. 

Take a trip back to the forest and relive the dream today.

Monument Festival 2024: DJ MARIA.

After visiting the lakeside dreamland last year I couldn't help myself but imagine on the moment what I would play if I had the opportunity to perform there myself (as any DJ would, I guess). I had different archetypes of sets forming in the back of my mind for different times of the day possible, if the opportunity ever came one day. 
So when I got invited to play the opening of Floresta on Sunday, it first came as a bit of a surprise, but the surprise turned into excitement and it was time to prepare a special set where I could dig into my dub techno collection. 
So, I am very happy to share with you the recording of my set, where I finally had the chance to play slow, deep, dubby and sunny techno in such a setting. 
Thank you @wakinglifeportugal for the opportunity. 
I hope you enjoy !

Alex Grüv is back with a fresh 4-track EP and it hits exactly the way we like it.
A dark, steady vibe from start to finish: four tracks that sit deep, build slowly, and keep that subtle tension alive.

K-lil steps in with a remix that pushes the original into an even darker corner, rougher, more tense, and locked into a tight, steady groove. A proper twist that closes the EP just right.

Massive thanks to our friend zekeN for taking care of the mastering.
He handles every track with precision and pushes the quality to the next level. We couldn’t be happier with the final polish he brought to this release.
