The Great Beyond 2025 Playlist

In our timely fourth installment, @lanny-mpls talks about his process, nasty techno, and the Minneapolis scene: “no matter what [mood] I’m picking, I’m always picking something that has some groove and some swing…I enjoy some beatdown techno from time to time if everyone’s doing it and it’s in the right environment…but I’d rather hear and play something with that swung, weird, groovy bassline and trippy in-your-head kind of thing…I always want the groove to be leading it…one track groovin’ into another…always teasing that next groove and maintaining the last.”

Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences. 

With notable sojourns in London, UK and Vancouver, British Columbia, Overland’s journey has taken her from organizing hometown warehouse raves and beachside renegades to high profile bookings at Berlin’s Tresor and Boiler Room x Igloofest Montreal. 

Echoes of the myriad of people and places that have helped her flourish can be heard in her playful, high-energy mixes 
and simmering sets that weave morphing basslines with propulsive beats. Her driving, dynamic and acid-laced productions have been released on Lisbon’s Naive and New York’s Sweat Equity. Berlin-based label Paryía run by Marie Montexier hosted her record last year with a remix by high profile ambient trio Purelink, and Priori’s Canadian imprint, GARMO released her most 
recent record with praise from Hardwax. 

Fresh off the back of a newly minted residency for 
Rinse France, Overland’s mark on Canadian dance music continues to thrive and shows no sign 
of slowing down.

TML has been a vital force in the Midwest electronic music scene for nearly two decades, defying easy categorization while pushing an evolving, boundary-pushing sound.

Growing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, TML (aka Peter Lansky) would journey into the city to immerse himself in underground culture at illicit loft parties and venues like the Fireside Bowl and Metro/Smart Bar. Inspired, he moved to Minneapolis and swiftly kicked off a residency at the iconic First Avenue nightclub. Running weekly over the course of eight years, the Too Much Love party brought together diverse local acts and international names, won nightlife awards, and cemented his reputation as a curator of unique sounds and killer parties.

After ending his weekly residency, Lansky began releasing his own music. TML’s productions closely mirror his genre-crossing DJ sets—a functional, rhythmic collision of acid, electro, and the darker corners of the hardcore continuum. Releases on Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings and his co-owned Always Human Tapes label highlight a blend of raw energy and lived-in sound design. 

TML can be found pushing this idiosyncratic approach across discerning corners of the underground. He excavates new sonic spaces on a long-running monthly show for Bristol’s Noods Radio and as a resident DJ for acme. collective's infamous basement parties. Whether headlining Midwest raves or clubs from New York to Berlin, performing live, or featuring on iconic mix series like Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Space, TML continues a midwestern legacy of speaker shaking electronic music, championing the weird and wonderful sounds that make dark dance floors transcendent.

Shanti is a Chicago-based DJ who curates eerie, otherworldly, and longing sounds. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. While she is a philosopher and writer, Shanti has felt limited by words and has recognized the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Philosophical themes of existential angst and ambiguity are explored in her sets through ethereal, foreboding techno, angsty EBM/dark wave, and squishy acid sounds. Music has always been a way for her to cope with the darker realities of existence. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory.
