I have come to notice that being an artist is a back and forth between inhibition and release. Posting this mix is a small release.

It’s a 30-minute hybrid set - a mix of beloved gems on wax and digital treasures.
It weaves through some of my favorite spaces: techno, electro, ambient, trance, experimental textures, jungle, and even drum and bass.

Mixing across those genres isn’t always easy, but here I tried to trace a single axis -of tempo, rhythm, energy. From sparse to dense. Steady to broken. Reflective to kinetic.

I’ve always loved what Objekt said in an interview with Resident Advisor:

"Tempo is one axis in the overall multi-dimensional space of music.
Energy level is another. There's a lot of different melodic components that factor in as well—like density and sparsity. All of these things are directions that you can go in from a certain point."

Recording this set felt like driving a super fast car (which might explain the length. Too fast to last :D)

Enjoy

Ponygirl is a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for their hypnotic and unconventional approach to soundscapes.
As a producer, Ponygirl has gradually grown to embrace a minimal yet impactful style, focusing on the subtle interplay of sound and silence to evoke profound emotional responses. 

This mix seamlessly guides us through earthy, textured ambiances to shimmering, airy atmospheres, creating a journey defined by multilayered grooves and a depth.
The journey combines earthy, organic textures with spectral and spacious elements, creating a soundscape that feels both abstract and deeply grounded.

"I aimed for a continuous tribalistic like ride through the set, spiced up with some tracks that I wanted to play for super long, that have a more break-ish or atmospheric type of sound".

JVX (https://soundcloud.com/jvxn00) nos cuenta:

La Pocilga fue, desde el inicio hasta el final, una montaña rusa de emociones y, a la vez, un reto para mí. Teniendo un estilo tan agresivo como sofocante, no sabía cómo iba a ser recibido por el público de Sevilla, pero sin duda alguna superó mis expectativas.

Desde antes de llegar a la sala, se respiraba un aire de comunidad realmente acogedor. Desde el primer minuto, la pista se llenó de gente de mente abierta dispuesta a disfrutar de la música. Me sentí tan cómodo que intenté buscar los límites del público poniendo temas más experimentales y de ritmos rotos, pero la acogida fue igual de buena.

Ver la sala llena de cuerpos bailando, sin ningún móvil a la vista, una primera fila de incondicionales que bailaron durante 3 horas sin parar, todo tipo de gente unida con un mismo propósito: el de pasar una gran noche.

En definitiva, una noche para el recuerdo.
