I-RO is an Amsterdam based artist originally from Istanbul, whose musical journey began with drumming and a deep curiosity for exploring diverse genres.

Her sound is defined by a blend of powerful elements, creating an entrancing flow that draws listeners in. Influenced by a wide spectrum of electronic sub-genres. 

With a natural gift for storytelling and a focus on keeping the dance floor alive, I-RO’s performances go beyond sound—they are full sensory experiences that invite the audience to lose themselves in the rhythm and forge a deeper connection with the music.

''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!

New SPND20 Mixtape incoming! Welcome @norbakmusic 📼
A crucial force in today’s techno environment, Nørbak has built a sound that balances precision with power. With his knowledge in the genre’s tradition and eyes fixed firmly on the future, the Portuguese producer blends classic sensibilities with cutting-edge sound design - the result is a sonic identity that’s earned him releases on labels like Token and his own collective, Hayes, as well as consistent support from the scene’s top selectors.🔊

Nørbak’s sets are crafted, intense, and always evolving and this mix is no exception. Recorded in the lead-up to a run of important summer dates, it captures a moment of high creative energy. A collection of tracks handpicked and received from close friends, plus a few unreleased of his own, the mix is both personal and powerful.

Heavy, hypnotic, and locked-in from the first beat to the last. Press play and step into the world of Nørbak.🖤

The 59th episode of Schimmer's podcast series was recorded by Berlin-based DJ and promoter Reka Zalan.

Reka is known for hypnotic depths and percussive drives — always tuned to atmosphere and often drawn to the gloomier sides of Techno. Her sets, whether digital or vinyl, move forward, outward, and inward, balancing tension and flow. Deeply rooted in Berlin’s scene, she’s a local Tresor resident, Hard Wax staffer, part of Coppi collective, and former ://elements co-host. Before immersing herself fully into club life, she worked at the Berlin Music Commission. Driven by curiosity and connection, Reka loves building bridges through sound and shared moments.

01366 Invites | 022 Chami

Next up in our 01366 Invites series is Chami, delivering a deep and introspective mix that balances weight and subtlety with precision.

Built on hypnotic rhythms, evolving soundscapes, and a steady sense of forward motion - Chami’s selection invites you into a space where time feels distorted.

A Berghain regular, Chami brings a sound shaped by the club’s unique atmosphere. We had the pleasure of hosting him a couple years back at ://about blank - and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back through the series.

This mix is all about mood, balance, and atmosphere - a true expression of Chami’s sound.

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

The second part is an homage to the track "Thank god for mental illness by Lxa Dsm" because it’s my favourite track and the track that made me want to produce Tekno myself
