In the next instalment of Futurepast mix series we welcome the visionary Kuba '97. Embark on a transcendent voyage through downtempo realms where time slows and melodies whisper from another dimension. It begins with a gentle invitation as ethereal synth pads and distant chimes beckon the listener to step into the unknown. With each beat, the rhythm leads us deeper into the heart of the experience, where tribal echoes and pulsating bass lines interact with the energy of the cosmos.

As the journey unfolds, psychedelic vibes curl like vines in a lush jungle, evoking visions of ancient rituals and sacred ceremonies. Moments of introspection give way to bursts of euphoria, taking us to new heights of rapture. The music swells and plunges and we are swept away on waves of sound, surrendering to the infinite possibilities of the universe.

As the final notes fade into silence, we are left with a sense of peace and renewal, knowing that we are in the presence of something truly magical. The Kuba '97 mix feels like a portal to another dimension, a glimpse into the boundless depths of the human soul.

The latest update to the Virtual Utopia servers has come in the form of a 107-minute audio-experience from the duo behind the labels last release 'Panspermia'; Beltrac & Urban Guidance. (@beltracc & @urbanguidance)

A pitched-down and blissed-out voyage; exploring every expanse of downtempo, IDM, ambient techno and trance; all infused with a smiling optimism and organic, uplifting breaks throughout. This mix effortlessly transfers those who engage with it to an alternate realm of unparalleled beauty, with a calming tranquility that eases the body, mind and soul. Here you can lounge in paradise.

Subtle reflections of the sun catch your eye as they gleam off the slow-flowing water. You match the streams pace and stare into the horizon in awe at nature's phenomena. Every colour in the sky slowly becomes more vivid and you feel gradually more weightless. The edges of existence begin to glow and you close your eyes, relying only on sensation. Here you begin your voyage into distant lands.

A big thankyou to Beltrac & Urban Guidance for submitting this mix to accompany their recent release on the label 'Panspermia' from March. Listen out for a couple of their own productions in this beautiful soundscape. ❤️

space•cast 018 comes from Corrupt Data. 

A dedicated digger of 90's and early 00's trance, he has a discerning ear that can find the good stuff - tracks which are on the edge and absolute bombs in the right hands - and weave them together in a way that keeps the NRG pulsating from the first kick drum. 

This is the kind of mix I've been dreaming about for the series, featuring records I own but am too scared to play - it's a proper throwback to formative years getting off my nut waving glowsticks around at God's Kitchen and Sundissential in Birmingham. 

Would highly recommend this on a sunny day, a late night or any time you need a smile putting on your face. 

Get ready to enter into the world of Corrupt Data!

Copenhagen local dj, Jinsu (@jinsunij) for the newest Animix. I met Jinsu last year in Copenhagen when we played the same night at Den Anden Side, a @f_e_l_t night hosted by our mutual friend @perkopair. 

After meeting (and being told by mutual friend's about his skills), I dug into Jinsu's beautifully diverse taste & impeccably on-point dj'ing skills. An avid collector with a broad yet perfectly aligned taste for the Animix series - I'm super happy to share this one with everyone, filled with eclectic groove, depth and flow - in perfect Animalia fashion :) 

Thanks again for the mix Jnisu!

We welcome Nak to the space•cast, a Melbourne-based selector who caught our ear after we went down a rabbit hole of her mind melting mixes. Honestly, there's no better way to pass a day than listening to all of Isabel's mixes in a row, so begin with this one and then work backwards for a sonic exploration like no other.

Isabel said of her space•cast: "this is my take on a classic Australian doof as the sun sets and things get weirder and wigglier.. lots of deep, liquid-y, soaring grooves that I’ve been playing out lots recently 🌀"

We enter 2025 with a fresh mix from Galo, a Berlin-based selector with a record bag which seemingly never fails to deliver. 

We met whilst sharing a bill at the legendary sub:system party in London and alongside playing around Europe, he’s put out a string of amazing online mixes - always featuring progressive gems and psy wobblers. It’s a huge pleasure to welcome Galo to the pod :) 

Enjoy!

For the 25th edition of the space•cast, we have a special back-to-back session from Alfred Czital and dj bubbles, recorded live at Ankali, the iconic Prague club. 

Both artists are key figures in the city’s electronic scene—Alfred as a driving force behind the Harmony collective and dj bubbles as a lighting artist and selector with a deep love for psychedelic sounds.

This set captures them in full flow, weaving together rolling, trippy techno and pumping progressive grooves with a perfect balance of energy and space—an immersive journey, a set for the ages. 

Enjoy!

space•cast 026 is a live set by Monophonik recorded at a space•lab x Androgyne party at the mighty Macadam in Nantes. People who were there still talk about this set and we thought it was well overdue to release it into the wild. 

Monophonik's modular live set is fast becoming one of the must-see things in this corner of electronic music - it's a jaw-dropping experience packed with groove, intensity and psychedelia. 

Strap yourself in!

A live DJ recording from Don Chich B2B GNMR at For The Cause Festival outside of Melbourne in Poowong, Victoria Australia on 29 March 2025. For The Cause is a loving curated, grass roots and intimate festival from a group and community of wonderful and kind people doing it all for the right reasons. 

The guys played a now-legendary closing set the festival on Saturday night/Sunday morning from 2:30am till 7am and we're lucky enough to have it to share with the world. 

It's an immersive, barnstorming 4 and a half hours of the highest grade records, two selectors going b2b for the first time and by the sounds of this, definitely not the last. 

There are gems a plenty in this mix as you'd expect from Don - head chef of the always-reliable Don's Delicatessen channel on YouTube - and GNMR, an Italian selector who held a residency at the legendary Goa Club in Rome.
