Decided to share my set from the new year’s day edition of @ratherlost. This set kicked off the 17-hour journey — warming up the crowd, sound system, and club before handing it all over to dear @sandrien.

~happy listening~

[HARMONY016]— Limping on Clouds is an EP born from an in-depth collaboration between @polygonia and @shoall. The A-side features one carefully curated track by each artist, while the B-side is a true symbiosis of their work, evolving from a single element or layer loop into a complete mix and arrangement that was gradually developed over time and distance.
 
Side A opens with Shoal's “Majola,” featuring layered breaks and a deep, slung bass, followed by Polygonia's “Repeat,” infused with kinetic energy, rhythmic elements, and euphonic vocal samples.

The synergistic B-side unfolds with a subtle, organic rhythm. “Pendulum” overflows with lush ambiance, creating an ethereal mood that pervades the record. The EP concludes on a downtempo note with the track “Limping on Clouds.”

The 3-hour collective descent by @loekfrey & @shoall at Ratherlost, New Year's Day 2025. 
Two Dutch tastemakers  sharing a keen ear for distinct, bass-driven, spiraling sounds 🧬

This set marked a full-circle moment, childhood friends united behind the decks for their first ever B2B set on New Year's Day. The chemistry was palpable from the fun they were having in the booth, which radiated onto the Colorfloor and had everybody locked in, warping the energy into that special night.

https://soundcloud.com/furthersessions returns with Vivendum 5, a tightly wound four-tracker that speaks softy but hits deep. Featuring https://soundcloud.com/psyk, https://soundcloud.com/shoall, https://soundcloud.com/blazejmalinowskiofficial, and https://soundcloud.com/saveyouratollofficial, it’s a focused study in atmospheric techno: sharp-edged, detail-rich, and stripped to the essentials. Crystalline oscillations and rounded low-end pressure guide the trip.

Plug into into the euphonic world of Shoal with his debut EP for Animalia, Temporal Blend. The Utrecht based producer dives head first into the release with his mesmerisingly warm, rich & silky-smooth groove, all characteristics that define his unique take on techno.  

A yin/yang essence threads the EP together with cosy, full bodied melodies, dynamic tempos & entrancing oddities throughout. It’s this subtle & harmonious balance of flavours that make Shoal a pitch-perfect fit for the Animalia family.

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in the Netherlands, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Shoal @ GIMIC - 03 May 2025

Next up in our mix series is Shoal, a Dutch producer and DJ who recently relocated to Prague. Known for his hypnotic, emotionally layered sound, Shoal crafts deep, transportive journeys through trippy textures, modular synthesizers, and rolling rhythms. A core member of the ISOTOOP collective, he’s performed at leading underground spots like De School, Tresor, and Ratherlost. His releases on labels like Tikita, Harmony Recordings, Monument, our own Ute.Rec, and most recently Animalia, continue to expand and refine his unique sonic voice within the scene.

In this mix, Shoal delivers a 1.5-hour live set full of acid-dripping techno, spacey atmospheres, and heads-down minimalism. It’s a slow-burning, carefully building mix that captures the raw live sounds and subtle depth that define his sound. A live-set working just as much the mind as the body.
