Dj Red at Floresta - Waking Life '23

Ciao tutti 💖
So happy to share the recording from my last set at Open Ground from December 2024. 

It was an emotional journey ~ I wanted to tell a story of diving into underwater dream lands, where spirit guides and glitchy creatures meet and send us messages from the other side... where sound takes over the brain and opens something in the heart and body.
I waved through many genres ~ ambient, jungle, electro, dubstep, drill, jazz, techno and the wonky in-between. It felt like I had the chance to express a fuller spectrum of who I am as a music lover. 🙏

That night, I had the honour of opening for the legend Surgeon ~ someone who’s deeply inspired my path since the very beginning. Sharing that moment with him and connecting was just wow. 🥹

Open Ground truly is one of the most special places on earth ~ the care, the sound, the freedom, the community, the crew… just perfection. 

So grateful to be invited back this saturday ! (26.07.2025) 
Don’t skip ~ come sweat and feel with us 🌀💎💦

~ with love & gratitude ~

After visiting the lakeside dreamland last year I couldn't help myself but imagine on the moment what I would play if I had the opportunity to perform there myself (as any DJ would, I guess). I had different archetypes of sets forming in the back of my mind for different times of the day possible, if the opportunity ever came one day. 
So when I got invited to play the opening of Floresta on Sunday, it first came as a bit of a surprise, but the surprise turned into excitement and it was time to prepare a special set where I could dig into my dub techno collection. 
So, I am very happy to share with you the recording of my set, where I finally had the chance to play slow, deep, dubby and sunny techno in such a setting. 
Thank you @wakinglifeportugal for the opportunity. 
I hope you enjoy !

Berlin-based DJ Jesse G is known for her energetic, genre-spanning sets that surprise and delight crowds, her sound is a playful, wide-ranging medley of deep, metallic, trippy, groovy, jacking, and percussive techno, with diverse rhythms and a UK bass influence.

Her distinctive sound is also informed by an encyclopedic understanding of electronic music and from honing her craft over her nearly six years as an integral member of the staff at the hallowed Berlin record store, Hard Wax. In addition to having held down residencies at RSO Berlin and Tresor, she has played venues such as Berghain, De School, Open Ground, and Blitz Club; and graced festivals including ADE Het Weekend and Nachtiville.

Jesse shared some words about the mix:
“I wanted this mix to sound playful, energetic and organic with a few surprises here and then. It was also important to me to include many artists who inspired me in the last months - be it musically or / and also on a personal level, so this mix is also like a summary of my Summer and the past months.”

Dive in now to a masterclass of contemporary club music.

We’re excited to welcome back @zvrra, a gifted Haitian artist based in Illinois. After releasing their ‘Mica’ with us earlier this year, they are showing how to spin the decks properly for our 31st Herbarium episode. Their mix features hypnotising textures and patterns fully loaded with energy and drive. Zvrra chose White Pines (Pinus Strobus) as their inspiration. 
They say: “White Pines are my selection for the Herbarium mix series. I chose this plant, because of it's unique ability to grow in all seasons. Also I often spent many winter nights in Illinois and Wisconsin surrounded by these beautiful plants.”

Ute Mix Series #110 | Julie

There is psychedelic techno, and then there is the earth shattering, mind-melting, wormhole inducing high-fidelity psychedelic techno of A Strange Wedding. A true master of cutting edge sound design and transcendental sets that have warped the very fabric of reality across the globe. 

This very special mix takes you deep into a galaxy of sounds, where each sonic filament is rendered with surgical precision and crystalline clarity. Tribalistic energy and alien textures combine to summon a kind of primal futurism. It is the sound of an ancient ceremony, conducted deep in the forest. 

Your gateway to the ancient future is now open.

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

Hey people. Today is very special for me, in so far as it's the first birthday of the Stellar Transitions project and, by the way, of the Stellar Series. So I would like to thank all the people and artists involved in this project, thank you for your investment, for all this incredible music, for all these great artworks and visual arts, as well as for all these feedbacks and compliments about the channel, so THANK YOU <3 Also, the podcast that I present to you today marks the first 24 hours of music published through the Stellar Series. This is what we call a real musical journey...

And I have the honor to publish a stunning and mesmerizing podcast by the talented Sanjib.

Since 2015, the french techno producer Jibis shows us a different side of his face, called Sanjib. A side-project oriented to a different way to listen music, like a travel. An almost spiritual project, seeking to open our senses, to make the music feel differently. 

After 3 EP's released on Lett Records and Warok Music, Sanjib published in 2018 his first long-format production "From Earth to Heaven". Receiving many enthusiastic messages from artists on the electronic scene, the 11 tracks follow a guideline in a mixed version of one hour. 

In a register between Dub-Techno and Ambient, he mix atmospheres full of emotions and elegance. Sometimes dark or more enlightened, each piece of Sanjib takes us into a full world of authenticity and sincerity.

This musical trip is a perfect example of what Sanjib has to offer under this alias : as deep as contemplative, as aquatic as spatial, the mix holds us in suspense like a real inner journey, as if we let ourselves be transported by the winds towards a mysterious horizon.

The photo was takenin Asia by his friend Mathilde Tolly.
