Erika has always explored the eerier corners of her native Detroit. She captures the empty space and late-night mood of the city in music that is deep and dark. For many years she has been a key behind-the-scenes figure who runs the well-regarded Interdimensional Transmissions label and has hosted plenty of her own parties. Her productions - either solo or with Brendan M. Gillen as Ectomorph - are rooted in techno and electro but explore everything from hard-edged grooves to spaced-out soundscapes. Erika also runs an educational platform for workshops, masterclasses and courses that help bring on the next generation. 

This week's mix draws on all that experience across 75 blistering minutes. It's electro from the off with haunting spaces, booming bass and elastic rhythms setting the scene for what becomes a storied selection. There are gritty and grimy warehouse sounds as well as slippery sci-fi workouts and plenty in between, all threaded together with the control of DJ who knows exactly where she wants to take you.

Dekmantel Podcast 407 - Erika

An extended mix from Rrose to celebrate our entry into 2023 and the upcoming release of TULIP SPACE [EAUX1591] available for pre-order now at https://eaux.ro/album/tulip-space and the upcoming full-length album PLEASE TOUCH (full announcement in Spring). The mix contains tracks from both releases.

This is a studio mix, started with an initial live take and then combed over meticulously with automated filters, eq, and fx. This is the same setup I use to play out, minus the automation. There is rarely a point when only one track is playing. I always try to find mixes that feel like a new track emerges from the combination. I imagine the optimal listening environment to be eyes-closed with headphones on, but I also hope you will feel an irresistible urge to move at some points ;)

Tammo Hesselink is a Dutch DJ, producer & resident at Amsterdam’s Garage Noord and has  releases on Delsin, Blank Mind, Nous'Klaer Audio and Midgar.

Tammo Hesselink likes to play around with many different rhythms. In terms of both what he makes and what he spins, he is drawn to stripped-back building blocks that allow him to get creative and find new sounds in what he combines. Whether that's the bass-driven swagger of UK sounds or the more psychedelic and loopy end of techno, what he does is mix it all into something unpredictable yet compelling.

MNMT 414 : Tammo Hesselink

For the 22nd episode of our Herbarium mix series, we have the pleasure to feature our label head @polygonia. She put together a journey which leads us through organic breakbeats combined with funky yet trippy dubstep tunes leading over to Four on the Floor madness and back.

Polygonia chose the ancient Ginkgo tree for her musical journey:
Choosing the Ginkgo Biloba tree as the topic for my mix resonates deeply with its unique and ancient characteristics such as resilience and adaptability through millions of years. The tree's versatility gave me the perfect inspiration to explore various genre styles and put them together in a coherent way. Ginkgo Biloba's distinct, fan-shaped leaves evoke a sense of rhythm and movement, akin to the pulsating beats of this musical story. Additionally, the tree's symbolism of longevity and endurance aligns with the enduring appeal and transformative power of these tracks.

Herbarium No 22 - Polygonia - Ginkgo Biloba

vp66 - Timnah(Amenthia Recordings / Basel, Swiss)

66번째 벌트 팟케스트는 스위스 바젤에서 활동하고 있는 Timnah의 70분 테크노 세트와 함께 합니다. Timnah의 독특한 댄스 음악 스타일은 유럽 전역의 관객들에게 큰 사랑을 받고 있습니다. 그녀는 17세부터 바젤의 버려진 산업 공간에서 공연을 시작하며 자신의 음악 세계를 넓혀왔고, 그 결과 따뜻하고 울림 있는 테크노 트랙을 꾸준히 선보이고 있습니다. Hinterhof Bar와 Elysia에서의 레지던시 동안, Timnah의 믹스는 테크노, 실험 음악, 앰비언트 음악의 여러 분위기를 자연스럽게 넘나들며 댄서들과 동료들 사이에서 확고한 인기 아티스트로 자리매김했습니다. 그녀는 매끄러운 믹싱 기술과 강렬한 감정적 스토리텔링을 통해 호흡하며 댄스 플로어의 역동성을 직관적으로 이해하고 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 밤새 다양한 분위기를 조율하며 관객을 사로잡고 있습니다.


Timnah’s signature approach to earthy dance music has been tried, tested and approved by swinging hips all over Europe. Developing her style from age 17 onwards, when she started playing in squats and industrial spaces around Basel, she’s continuously making her mark with warm, reverberating techno cuts from across the spectrum. During her residencies at Hinterhof Bar and Elysia, Timnah‘s sets fluently cover (and transcend) shades of techno, experimental and ambient music, establishing her as a firm favourite amongst dancers and peers. Smooth mixing skills, strong emotional narratives and an intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics continue to define her style, seamlessly cruising through the small hours of the night.

One last mix to end the year. When Svreca sent me this set, he could not have known what it would mean to me. I have spent so much time looking back lately, reliving old discussions and re-imagining moments passed, often lamenting how much was lost along the way. In just under three hours this mix communicates the flow of years. An archived recording from a special memory, it reminds me that the passage of time is beautiful even in what it fades away. Listening to it, I become lost completely, as though I am everywhere at once.

Thank you to everyone who listened this year, who sent warm messages and left comments, who supported us and kept us feeling connected. Thank you to the artists who continue to give their time and trust to the podcast and label, and keep us moving forward.

Finally, thank you Svreca for this gift and for being an inspiration from the very beginning. We're all here listening. Let's dive in.
