Wispelturig sets are dark and ritualistic, full of weird sounds and subtleties.

She wants the crowd to really connect to each other and to the music, moving together in some kind of sexy trance. Her sets are mainly build up with hypnotic, tribal techno, and rhythmic, repetitious beats but every now and then she reaches a moment of euphoria with some faster cuts and some more outgoing electro or trance. She loves music that surprises and combines elements of different genres. Most tracks she plays are highly emotional, in a way.

Already two decades ago he was organizing and playing at raves in Eindhoven. After years of only playing at illegal raves and house parties, Tomas Weeda is finally back in clubs.

Techno has nestled deep into the body and the soul of Tomas Weeda. He started playing techno when only 14 years old and has since become a true technical master of the craft. Using 4 decks simultaneously, seemingly without any effort, he creates brand new and unique sounds using elements of every track. His playstyle is energetic and punchy, while at the same time filling the air with hypnotic sounds and acid grooves. 

Greatly inspired by the high pitched rolling techno beats of the 90's and the early 00's, Tomas very much welcomes the higher BPM range that is now widely accepted after the pandemic. But on today's crispy sound systems an entire new dimension can be added, like fitting a spaceship into an old warehouse. Inspired by some of his favorite artists like Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero and DVS1, Tomas lays out a solid groove that'll knock you off your feet.

Bringing you back to the opening hours of our last party. @nera-ja took us on a journey trough the deep and trippy. 

Nera loves showcasing her fondness for the progressive and dubby corners of music, often rooted in the '90s. In her sets she meanders through trance, techno, dub and trippy tracks, establishing either deep progressive sets or more uplifting house-saturated mixes.

She always aims to create spacey & trippy journeys that touch on nostalgia and otherworldly dimensions, while not being afraid of fun twists.

IGNOTA's unique perspective on sound is captivating and piques our curiosity, revealing an added depth of emotion to his raw music style. 

Researching the origin of sound healing he became inspired to apply this in his projects, making him a sound engineer and sound healer. His objective for the SKIN set was to construct a dynamic and unpredictable blend of diverse rhythms. As the set progresses, the beats become increasingly intense, and the music grows more daring. Every emotion or feeling is personal and @IGNOTA ‘s main priority is to have the listener experience hidden feelings or emotions, surrender to feel deeply and eventually go beyond and advance consciousness (heal).

IGNOTA's music is an invitation to surrender and feel deeply, to go beyond what is known and explore the unknown.

Allow us to introduce you to Rei, an Osaka based artist specialized in a minimal and subtle yet whimsical sound. A upcoming talent well worth your time and well worth a stage.

Rei crafted a beautiful podcast for SKIN, beginning with ambient sounds and steadily evolving into minimal and deep techno. When we asked about the inspiration behind his podcast, Rei used the metaphor of a single flower blossoming in the dark, shining strongly and beautifully. 

Rather than ineffectively pursuing a large number of notes, he cultivates a varied and unique space by infusing the sound with irregular changes and expansions. He expresses the beauty within simplicity and imperfection.

Born in Japan in 1992, he moved to Tokyo for college and graduated with the department in Science and Engineering. Around this time, he began traveling the world and visited a number of countries in Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. 
He started his music activities from Osaka in 2018 through a desire to give shape to his knowledge and the sensibilities he gained through his experiences. By capturing sounds from both physics and artistic perspectives, he continues to pursue his own music.

SKIN Podcast Series #009 Alexskyspirit. A virtuoso in translating landscapes and fleeting moments into sound.

Born, raised, and based in Patras, Greece, @alexskyspirit 's experience with the decks started in the early 00s in his hometown clubs and bars, blending his early influences of dark, progressive house with psychedelic trance. His self-released and label-released material caught the attention of respected individuals from a broad techno spectrum.
His focus and sonic environments are weaved and led by his affiliation with the coldest season of the year, the echoes and the grey scenery during rainfall, the colourful and noisy urban landscape of the city traffic, and the impactful, awe-inspiring creations of architectural nature. His sound has a light, gentle approach combined with minimal elements of hypnotic ambience, distorted textures, and cinematic pads to conjure an aesthetically-pleasing yet deep atmosphere.

It is with pleasure we want to introduce Gaia for SKIN’s latest podcast release. Gaia’s set was inspired by the constant movement of being, illustrating that within the fabric of space-time, a fragment of the universe unites in a singular presence... and thus, this narrative unfolds. Expect drones, distortion, syncopated percussion, and captivating melodies.

Born and raised in Manizales, Gaia arrives to recreate her project through nature and flow with organic, and anodyne sounds. Her greatest inspiration is found in the simplicity of the expression itself.

The young artist has permeated her project based on great musical inspirations such as: Polygonia, Luigi Tozzi, Feral, Orbe and more.

‘Without knowing Amsterdam too well, it resonates through my skin, as if I belong there in another life or another dimension. It evolved me.’ - Gaia

Our 11th podcast mix showcases a deep symphony by Noah Lyas. He shared, 'For this mix, I drew inspiration from realizing just how much music I have in various rhythms, to the extent that I've lost track of how to categorize it. It's a rather delightful sensation because it enables me to narrate my story through a DJ set.. This mix revolves around the rhythms that drive me to dance.'" Dive into a fusion of organic, deep, and hypnotic percussion rhythms, crafting a distinctive blend of techno, while exploring atmospheric ambient landscapes and intricate soundscapes within his mix.

Noah Lyas, also known as Malii Yorks, is an Amsterdam based artist who is passionate about two things; making refined ceramic products and composing deep rhythms within the spectrum of techno as a genre. Malii grew up in a house where reggae music often sounded through the speakers in the living room because of two passionate parents who shared a large record collection with their children at an early age. With a musician as a father, there was early contact with different instruments and performing arts. Long days in dusty music studios, live performances and wandering around at festivals as a child were not excluded. Later in life, around the age of twenty, there was a lot of dancing in night clubs with friends who not only shared a love for techno, but also reggae, dub-reggae in particular, and there the discovery of dub-techno came (a fusion of dub-reggae and techno) which also became a starting point for Malii to produce electronic music. With this music in mind, years passed with only creations that never left the studio and the search for a musical identity took quite a while, which was a good thing because more inspiration came along; tribal percussion rhythms and dreamy symphonies that can be found in movies or deep ambient music. All these sources of inspiration are forming the base of all music Malii creates. The first two releases, “Before the Horizon” and “Obsidian”, were the starting point of Noah Lyas as a producer and also the beginning of a record label called “Profundo Collective”.

SKIN Podcast Series #015 Clarence Rise 

Starting this year music exploration with a podcast by mastermind Clarence Rise, exploring subgenres of hypnotic techno and deep DnB. @clarencerise: 'For this particular podcast, I've chosen to take as many tracks as possible that are both hypnotic and very percussive, while using a fast, suffocating rhythmic progression. Like a wild hunt in the woods, it's up to the listener to decide whether to be the hunter or the hunted.' 

Over the years, French producer Clarence Rise has developed a strong, intense, and singular musical identity, where incisive techno blends with chilling atmospheres. Some describe his work as Cinematic or Cold Techno, emphasizing complex rhythms, dark sound design, and contemplative melancholy.

SKIN Podcast Series #014 AHIL

With a shared love for music, we warmly welcome AHIL, our dear friend whose musical views enrich our final podcast of 2023.

Rotterdam-based DJ AHIL is the visionary behind Hypnosis. As both the founder and resident, he aims the platform towards delivering a deep, hypnotic, and rhythmical experience. 

This mix was recorded during a period when he visited Monument Festival and Parallel Festival. Both places served as significant inspirations for AHIL, both personally and creatively. AHIL reflects on the experience, stating, 'Meeting, connecting, and vibing with other people through the power of music is truly something special. All the positive energy experienced during these events went straight into this mix. With this mix I’ve tried to really go for style I would love to hear and play on festivals during summer. It still contains lots of deep, organic soundscapes and trippy patterns that I usually love, but this time with a more sunny and free approach.'"

WEES at Relate Radio - SKIN takeover 27.01.24

Its time for the 2nd release of the SKIN take over at Relate Radio. 🍉 

Sub-C: Firstly I've been deeply moved by the ongoing tragedies that are happening to the citizens of P✧lestine. With this mix I'm trying to express my mixture of anger, sadness and grieve that come up when thinking about this ongoing g✧nocide. The first 6 minutes contains a recording of Yara Eid, a P✧lestinian journalist. In this recording she describes the intense cruelties she endured in the first weeks of the b✧mbings. Please act and use your voice in anyway possible, this has been going on now for far too long....

About the artist: At the age of 16 he started in local punk and metal by joining a punk band. Moving to Amsterdam, he discovered electronic music and found his calling in DJing. His style is best described as a multigenre psychedelic experience. 

Sub-C “SKIN has a special place for me. It is one of the events where I've been going to since they started. I've been inspired by them to look into more experimental music which eventually had an influence on what I play as a DJ now. For this mix I've selected some deeper, melancholic tracks. Flowing from ambient and drone to eventually faster psychedelic sounds, taking you on a transformic journey”. 

Lots of love for our newest crew member and passionate soul.
