Donato Dozzy at The Labyrinth 2014.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Gunma, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

Mike Servito's closing set from 10:30am until noon at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. 

"Mike Servito is an artist intertwined with his Detroit origins. No matter how far he travels and how long he lives elsewhere, the essential imprint of this city remains in everything he does.

If you asked where this mix was recorded, I would say "Detroit" without hesitation and if I thought about it for a bit, I would guess that it was most likely one of Mike's legendary closing sets at No Way Back at Tangent Gallery. The level of care and reverence that go into these sets is very evident in this mix from start to finish. The track selection moves effortlessly from past to future playing with darkness and light, depth and joy, tension and release. It's a remarkable demonstration of taste and skill but also a paean to Mike's personal artistic history that calls to the creative power center that Detroit comprises. This mix provides a true glimpse into Mike's long-term dedication to the art of working in tandem with the dancefloor, creating a shared journey where the challenge is to let go and just trust the DJ."

Part 2 of a magical night DJing b2b with my good friend Terry Donovan. ❤️

Terry has been a resident at Birmingham's House of God nights since the beginning alongside me, Neil 'Sir Real' Spragg and Paul 'Damage' Bailey.

Unfortunately there's no tracklist for this set, it was lost in the mists of time. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, or maybe enjoy you can the mystery....

In a book about the Japanese tea ceremony, the author explains:

‘Great attention should be given to a tea gathering, which we can speak of as "one time, one meeting" (ichi-go, ichi-e). Even though the host and guests may see each other often socially, one day's gathering can never be repeated exactly. Viewed this way, the meeting is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.’

It is very similar with DJing. Each time it is different and distinctive. I was so happy to have this ‘once-in-a-lifetime occasion’ on Saturday at the Moon stage of Draaimolen Festival 2025. It was a wonderful opportunity to share a lot of music full of meaning and memories. My sincere thanks to all those who joined and made this gathering possible. I hope you enjoy listening to what happened.
