Fred P at The Labyrinth 2011.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Niigata, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

The Labyrinth 2011 - Fred P

Keith’s own style of techno always has a strong emphasis on melodies and groove - it is made for dancing no doubt. Often the melody creates a rather ominous feeling for the listener, but with a certain melancholy to it. This is weighed up expertly with Keith focusing on the tracks being driven forward by strong percussion elements. His compositions contain a fresh vibe that immerses his audience as much as it does with his fellow producer and DJ colleagues.

REC 005 w/ Steve Rachmad

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

A living legend is added to our REC series. Relive the memorable set of Steve Rachmad, the man with numerous aliases, including Sterac, recorded in our Room 01. As you would expect from the Dutch DJ and producer, his performance reflects more than two decades of clubbing and perfecting a sound that is often attributed to his adopted home of Detroit. ﻿

Two hours set of a languid ascension, filled with unsettling yet reassuring tracks all the way through. Add varied influences, some heavy groove, a big pinch of skill, and you get his trademark. There is no doubt why the artist has been performing for so many years, and this recording is further irrefutable evidence.

Steve Rachmad — Recorded live at Fuse Brussels (28/05/22)

Nothing is better for a Friday than new music and we got four and a half hours full of it for you with the live recording of VNNN.'s and K. Luisa's wild back-2-back closing action at our last Tresor.West club night in December 2022. Let them take you on a trip to their own outer space expedition through fast, deep-driven grooves, hypnotic spheres and space probe-like "bleep and bloop" lead sounds. Trust us; this is never-ending loop that will not let you go.

Honored to welcome UK-based Caldera to the series, a talented and multi-dimensional producer affiliated with several of our favorite labels along with his Well Street-associated Loop LF alias. Caldera's mix is volcanic, true to form, simmering and vaporous in its first half before igniting in thunderous bloom in the second. From headiness and haze to full-blown percussive workouts, an unparalleled sense of rhythm lies at its core, seismic in its swell. Thank you Caldera!

"I wanted to craft something polyrhythmic and groovey while focusing on the idea of stretching time and slowing things down. I’ve been loving the resurgence of funky hard groove techno and wanted to make a mix with this sound in mind while slowing down a lot of the tracks (by 10/15 bpm at least). In general, I’ve been enjoying a s lower and more considered pace in my life and this mix has a bit of that. Stretched out rhythms with the long mix."

Chris Liebing is synonymous with techno. His legacy is long assured, but his craft never stops evolving. Whether as label head, podcast curator, DJ or producer, he continues to challenge himself and his audience to explore new realms in the electronic world. And often ahead of the curve, too, from the early, hard-edged and loopy 90s sound which is back en vogue today, through his more stripped-back turn of the millennium minimalism and onto the cinematic atmospheres and broader alternative electronica of his latest albums on Mute. It's no stretch to say, then, that Chris Liebing's story is closely connected to the story of techno itself.

New SPND20 Mixtape! In session: @gaston-volpe 📼

Straight from Buenos Aires, Volpe knows how to turn grooves into full-body experiences. A regular at Berlin’s Tresor, RSO and Berghain, he’s also left his mark as a producer with releases on a.r.t.less, Mitsubasa, Frenzy, and Sungate. Through his own imprint Transcend, he champions timeless sounds that cut across genres while keeping the focus on depth and groove.

This SPND20 Mix captures that spirit in motion: a live jam on the Ableton Push 3, weaving unreleased cuts and reworked remixes into a high-energy ride. Rolling drums, jazzy progressions, and waves of delay and echo pull Detroit and Dub techno into dialogue with tribal house and Latin/Cuban/African rhythms. Raw, fluid, and glowing with Volpe’s unmistakable touch - precision layered with freedom, structure fused with soul.

Tune in and let the groove move you. 🖤

New SPND20 Mixtape just landed, welcome @olateks! 📼

Resident of Warsaw’s Jasna 1 and driving force behind the legendary Move Mózg series, Ola Teks has been shaping Poland’s electronic scene with sets that flow between deep techno and classic house  - always guided by intuition and emotion. Recognized by platforms like Boiler Room, Arte Concert, and Mixmag, she’s built a reputation for turning every dancefloor into a story.

Her SPND20 mix is both a showcase of her own sound and a tribute to the spirit of the Spandau family, whose energy has accompanied her since the very start. Fittingly, Ola was the first to bring FJAAK & SPANDAU20 abroad, booking us in Poland back in 2011/2012 - a milestone that still means a lot to us today.

Recorded at home in Warsaw, the mix begins with an intimate glow, rises into full club intensity, and lands gently back down. Along the way: spacious textures, tribal grooves, melancholic-yet-uplifting energy, timeless gems like I:Cube’s 11 Novembre, fresh fire from BAUGRUPPE90 and Cult, an unreleased track by Contakt, plus local heat from 2shy of Privet Press.

It’s raw, flowing, and straight from the heart - stitched together with precision, freedom, and deep respect.

A regular at institutions like Tresor, Rex Club, and Radion, he’s shared booths with heavyweights like DVS1, Surgeon, Steve Bicknell, and James Ruskin. Add to that a producer’s catalogue on labels such as Sino, KEY Vinyl, Construct Re-Form, Clergy, and more - Benales is true to the craft.🔊

For his SPND20 Mixtape, he went fully purist: two Technics SL-1200MK2s, a mixer, and a Zoom H5 - with nothing but records from his personal archive. Expect tracks spanning early 90s gems through 2000s essentials to today’s sharpest cuts. It’s a vinyl-only journey that captures decades of techno in motion, stitched together with the raw energy of the booth and the precision of a craftsman.

A high-pressure, club-ready mix that will leave you craving those endless nights and basement floors. 🖤
