Hello friends! Here is the recording of my very first set at Stereo Montréal

A place that truly feels like (((home))) 

A room that means so much to many of us and that sparks wonders for those who haven't been yet. A space where we can be free, all together. A spaceship that uses vibrations to bend space and time. A temple where music becomes alive.

It was an honour to have the chance to play in this room for 11 hours to the most amazing group of humans. It's been a dream of mine for so many years to have the chance to play there and it's one of most meaningful moments I ever lived. Stars were aligned, the collective energy was truly beautiful and I am happy to be able to share with you the soundtrack of that night. 

Thanks to all the @stereonightclub team for the incredible work to co-create such a sacred space for music. 

A special thanks to Luc for the cosmic visuals during the night.

And thanks to all of you family and friends who joined the journey.

This is Part One, between 00:00 and 06:08 am.

With love,

Mikael

Allo les ami(x)s ♥ 

Just received the recording of this moment from the summer and in the midst of a very dynamic and energetic touring season, this is probably the set I felt most in flow with, and yet the most intimate of all, at home in the region of Mattawinie.

Now a yearly tradition, our close group of friends has been co-creating an estival celebration in the North of Québec in a village called St-Zénon. This gathering evolved so much over the years, strengthening friendships and an inspiring sense of community, healing, co-creation, love and overall total fun. 

I had the chance to play on the patio of the wooden cabin on the Friday afternoon, over looking the Boréal forest. As Pachamama was dancing with us, rain, clouds, sun and stars were part of the journey while I was soundtracking the sunset with some of my favourite humans. 

As I didn't share any sets in the recent months, I feel this could capture really well summer 2023 for me, and hopefully, for you as well!

Grateful for all the Zénon family for co-creating this space and for David, Vincent & Vincent for gifting me the chance to play music in this special setting.  Thanks to my love Ashlee for the cover picture. 

I dedicate this set to friendship, that special family we choose, and that chooses us back. 

Love to all & thank you so much for listening x 

Mikael

HYPERFIXATIONS is Ritmo Futuro’s new compilation series, showcasing the tracks we’re most intensely drawn to - our sonic obsessions. These are not just songs, they are moments of hyper focus, the kind that pulls us in so deeply that time and space collapse into pure sensation.

Each volume in these series serves as a capsule of what we’re fixated on in a given moment—tracks that demand attention, command the dancefloor, or linger in the subconscious long after the party ends.

Concept – Volume 1
The debut volume, HYPERFIXATIONS vol. 1, dives into the visceral experience of musical hyperfocus. It draws inspiration from the immersive state one enters when a track hits just right on a dancefloor—when sound becomes sensation, when rhythm overtakes thought. This phenomenon parallels the trance-like focus described by Formula 1 drivers: total presence, no longer processing visually, only feeling instinctively.


Curated by Rick Offen, vol. 1 is crafted to be more than a compilation, it’s a complete sonic journey. From the first beat to the last echo, the sequence is intentional: a narrative arc that guides the listener through tension, release, introspection, and euphoria.

The compilation features a wide spectrum of voices in the Ritmo Futuro orbit, including:

Marvio, K.eem, Mel Souler, Maicol MP, Paul Schmidpeter, Reezar, Bouzidi, Mumboi, Kev Williams, Rick Offen, Ander Race, Sanio & Zarth, Anido, Radiothérapie, Liminal & Selderv

These artists contribute to a cross-section of futurist club aesthetics—from hypnotic minimalism to percussive intensity and textural experimentation. The selection is deliberately eclectic, yet united by the energy of obsession and pure feeling.

Alright, Gab Rhome, you convinced us! Our livers (and waistlines) could use a cleansing break after all those delicious cocktails. Let’s cut out booze for a while and enjoy a rejuvenating and energizing glass of the earth’s most delicious, most healthy foods: milk!  

Gab Rhome, born in Montréal and living in NYC, milked his favorite cow (what’s her name by the way?) on his farm to ensure today’s Schirmchendrink is full of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. 

Grab a cookie and dip it into Gab’s dreamy and hypnotic vibes. 

He began his musical journey at an early age playing multiple instruments while being shaped by jazz music, and it only took a few years before making a transition towards the rhythms of dance music. 

Only within few years of producing Gab gained worldwide attention with releases on label heavy weights such as All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep, Kindisch, Get Physical and Last night on Earth.  

His delicate melodic tech-house productions have brought him on journeys across the globe, for example to the @radiovenao Gathering in Panama, where this set was recorded. As you are about to experience, a similar voyage is built during his dj sets.  

Thank you, Gab, for caring about our health! And now let’s finish your milk! We can’t put it back to the cow… 

Cheers, 
The bartenders

Holmar, Behrouz b2b Matthias Meyer | Do Not Sit In Wynwood -  (Art Basel) - December 9th 2018

Come sail with https://soundcloud.com/fulltone who delivered such a beautiful journey on the Veronicaschip. Klassified is about writing new stories but it is also about the forgotten hidden colourful history. Fulltone took us back to the 1960's where Veronicaschip was one of the first independent radio stations that provided an bold alternative sound to the Netherlands by being offshore. 
Embark into a new adventure, where the status quo is challenged, where colours dance with soundscapes, where Fulltone gave the Veronicaschip all its splendours!

Symbiose — a state of flow, a synergy between elements, a relationship interconnecting living organisms. 🌱 
____

I always found it challenging to record a studio podcast: my analytical mind is trying to calculate every move, evaluate each transition & criticize the selection. I have time, music & equipment at my disposal, but one key element is missing to really tell a story: humans.
____

I encountered that problem last weekend. Although I was playing music I enjoy, I felt that my technically structured mix was too stiff and impersonal. 

____

Then, some of my favourite humans turned up at the studio. As Ashley, Apolline, Axel & Robin entered the room, the studio was suddenly filled with a great energy & I felt like pressing the rec button again, just for fun - this is when the first minutes of  S y m b i o s e  were captured. 
____

I feel this studio mix is an authentic representation of the energy levels I like to navigate through during a longer set. It features some of my favourite tracks in a nod to the past but also has a touch of the future; new sounds that are moving me forward & some of my new compositions. 
____

I’m happy to share this mix as I’m taking off for Argentina, what marks my first adventure of the decade. This music session brought me clarity, presence & joy! I hope you'll resonate with it.

Thank you for joining the story,
