B2   Opus 

Sales Notes:

Alpenglühen continues to establish itself as a trusted source for forward-thinking ambient techno with its latest vinyl release, introducing Vanertia, the new collaborative alias from Vand and  !nertia. This debut offering fuses the distinctive sonic DNA of both artists into a deeply textured and rhythmically intricate EP.

The record draws heavily from the dub techno tradition, with spacious delay lines and submerged chord stabs setting the tone across all tracks. Yet it’s the subtle interplay between syncopated grooves and classic 4x4 pulse that gives the record its driving energy. The percussion is detailed and organic, riding a bed of carefully sculpted low-end that never overwhelms but always supports the movement.

The result is a hypnotic, immersive listen that balances club functionality with introspective richness.

With Vanertia, Vand and !nertia have laid the groundwork for what promises to be a highly fruitful collaboration

Out in July, 2025

Operating at the frontiers of electronic music, Spekki Webu stands apart as a true architect of his own sonic universe. The visionary behind the Mirror Zone label and a highly prolific producer, his work - including an excellent debut album last year - is a testament to a relentless pursuit of the new, sculpting a sound that is both boundary pushing and universally mind-altering.

Offering some insight into the deeply personal and experimental nature of this deep trip, the Dutch maestro explains:

“This mix is mainly music by myself, upcoming music on the label and some unreleased tunes by friends. I have been exploring lots of different tempo's the last few months and also been reprocessing a lot of field recordings which have been layered a lot in this mix. You can almost say that this is a hybrid mix where I am live layering field recordings and processing them in real time. But the main focus is of course the DJ part. Slowly unfolding and blending from chapter to chapter, I don't engage my mixes as mixes anymore, more like this feeling of reading a few pages from my personal book.

Minimalistic movements drowned in wider atmospheric arrangements within this story. A lot of this music in this mix has been made in the last months and dives into introspective moments. Blurring textures which have felt like clouded moments in my consciousness, like living in some sort of dream and moving on to the next stage. Preparing for changes. Waiting for new movements.”

VCR invites Nelly @ GIMIC - 24 July 2025

Next up in our mix series is Rotterdam-based producer, DJ and On Board Music founder Laura BCR - a vital presence both behind the decks and behind the scenes of contemporary electronic music. A former record store co-owner (Bass Cadet Records), booking agent, and head of the On Board agency and label, Laura’s dedication runs deep.

In this mix, Laura invites us into her more contemplative soundscapes, guiding us through a true evolving trip of shimmering synths and sun-kissed rhythms. It's deliberate and elegant - a lesson in patience and depth. As deep and mysterious, as it is warm and gracious. The perfect companion to stretched-out summer days, glowing nights or for inner voyages and golden hour reflections alike.

We’re beyond happy to finally share the very first recording from Refractor.

This one captures around an hour of the captivating live set by the talented French artist trois quarts taxi system, who guided us from daylight into dusk on the second day of the gathering. A sonic passage, subtle yet powerful, weaving us gently through time.

More recordings will follow soon, but for now, let yourself drift back into that moment.

Fresh off the release of his outstanding album ‘Berlin’ we welcome Felix K - a true purveyor of sophisticated, deep electronic music. His work explores the fringes of techno, jungle, dub, and ambient, building immersive sound worlds that defy easy categorization. Known for his meticulous approach to production and his ability to weave complex narratives through sound, Felix K has carved out a unique space for himself in the global underground scene.

For this marathon journey, Felix K delivers a masterclass in patience and precision, guiding listeners through a three-hour odyssey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling. The mix is a testament to his expansive musical knowledge and his ability to connect seemingly disparate genres into a cohesive, flowing narrative.

In his own words: "The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. Beginning with slower Dub Techno, it slips into the early, minimalist 85/170 Drum-and-Bass era, showcasing plenty of those formative highlights before closing with authentic Amen Breaks combining with a sound design that actually anticipates the vibe of some of today’s darker techno productions."

With "Vivarium", Vienna-based live duo Mitra present their debut release and their first contribution to IO Records. Known for their immersive performances and site-responsive sound explorations, Mitra translate the raw intensity and spatial awareness of their live practice into a studio recording for the very first time.

The seven-track EP unfolds as a carefully composed sonic ecosystem. Each piece functions as a distinct organism within a living structure, contributing to a sound world that feels both precise and unpredictable. Rooted in deep listening, low-end exploration, and rhythmic subtlety, Vivarium invites audiences into an environment that is in constant transformation.

Rather than relying on fixed arrangements or traditional song structures, the tracks evolve gradually. Textures shift, patterns emerge and dissolve, and moments of stillness meet waves of tension. While firmly grounded in experimental sound design, Vivarium also reveals a sense of physicality and movement. The duo’s background in their live act is present throughout, channeling the energy of their performances into compositions that retain their organic, tactile quality.

Vivarium is more than a debut. It is an invitation to enter Mitra’s sonic world. It is a space shaped by intuition, presence, and the fluid relationship between listener, sound, and environment. With this release, Mitra opens a new chapter in their artistic trajectory, offering a compelling glimpse into the evolving potential of their sound.

Cat No DN020 - Danza Nativa 2025.

Press Release:
Kyntral is a co-founder of the Argentinian label Danza Nativa and he serves up a deeply immersive trip here. 'Inner Depths' is liquid deep techno in the mould of Neel or Donato Dozzy. Percolating rhythms and dubby undercurrents subsume mind and body while deft little details place you underwater. 'Bloodstone' is a little more lumpy with gentle smattering of percussion of drums that bump. 'Ancient Apparition' is a spacious sound with wispy pads disappearing to infinity, glassy tinkles and undulating drums all getting you into a meditative state. The Patrick Russell Phantom remix is more warped and dark to add a nice counterpoint.

As we approach the end of summer, I am delighted to welcome Marius Bø to Deep Mind Music with an ethereal mix of celestial atmospheres to calm the soul ✧｡⋆.

Inspired by recent time spent in the mountains of Norway, the mix takes us high into the stratosphere, where whispers of cirrus clouds melt into the surrounding sky. Gentle blankets of emotive tones morph around us, as we are carried forth into the sacred chambers of the inner mind.

As the mix progresses, delicate arpeggiated spirals bloom across the imagination, and we are held in delicate suspension above the earth, floating, weightless, in quiet introspection. Thank you Marius for this beautiful mix, a space for deep reflection and blissful harmony within.

Years ago, Marius invited me to make an ambient and downtempo mix for @ute-rec’s mix series after listening to Deep Mind Music (https://soundcloud.com/ute-rec/ute-mix-series-49-sybil), so it is a great joy to present this transcendent mix from Marius himself on Deep Mind Music today 🤍💠🌙

Alias: Lychee (@lycheefrut)
Pronouns: they/them
Location: Brooklyn, NY (via Boston)

Influences: I'm most influenced and inspired by the hardworking people around me who help me believe in myself. Tom who runs Techno Queers has been my close techno companion since we were dubstep rave babies together, my Distrikt1 co-organizer Nerea (Ne/Re/A) helped me find a home in the techno community in New York, Aaron J of Sure Thing has been an inspiring, grounded, community-driven co-promoter in Boston and NY, my longtime friend Dennis (Parzer/Open Ground) in Boston was one of the first people I ever did DIY events with and I'll never forget what I learned from those, my partner Nathaniel (Blankstairs) whose intrinsic musical work ethic always motivates me to keep doing what I feel no matter what's happening in the "scene."

I'm also inspired by collectives and mix series like this one that keep their ear to the underground and highlight marginalized artists - Noctuary, Beyond/Below, DIESELcast, Abstract without Abstraction, TUF, Beyond/Below, Gays Hate Techno, Honey Soundsystem, Discwoman, Walking & Falling, Maneater, the list is huge and I'm sure I forgot some big ones.

Favorite Quote: 
"Saccharine is our sweetest word for fear: the fear of too much sentiment, too much taste.
When we hear saccharine, we think of cancer: too many cells congealing in the body.
When we hear saccharine, we think of language that has shamed us, netted our hearts in
trite articulations: words repeated too many times for cheap effect, recycled ad nauseam… We think we should have to work in order to feel. We want to have our cake resist us; and then we want to eat it, too." - Leslie Jamison, In Defense of Saccharin(e) (hard to choose just one quote from this essay!)

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Collaboration is important and I'm glad to have some great collaborators who both challenge and support me, but you should never feel like you need anyone else's permission to do anything! There are more resources and communities out there than ever to help support marginalized artists - if you have a dream project, don't be afraid to execute it on your own, without compromise (and ask for help when you need it).

Last year I made my first ever print zine for my own mix/interview series, and for some that would be a minor project, but for me it was huge proof to myself that I could pull together a new type of project if I set my mind to it - and finding the confidence to do that (and start my own series at all) took way longer than it probably should have.

As one of our cherished sources of inspiration over recent years, we have techno platform, Monument to thank for leading us to Paula Koski, one of the project’s aspiring curators with a pretty sublime taste in electronic music, in our humble opinion at least.

Paula’s diverse sound stretches from ambient and experimental through to richly layered, dark, hypnotic, psychedelic techno, stitching together memorable musical stories to tantalise our palate and leave us famished for more!

This summer, Paula was pulled in the direction of a whole host of gigs, both at home in beautiful Berlin, and away, joining the likes of Neel, Rrose, Acronym and Luigi Tozzi to cast her spell on lovers of the deep, rhythmic and inebriating sounds we bow down to.

As we creep more closely towards our 100th podcast (brace yourselves!), we invite you to step into Paula’s world and soak up another wholesome serving of On the 5th Day!

BIO: 
“In the world of techno DJs and producers, there are some people who get it, and then there are some who don’t. It’s quite obvious that when listening to Mojave’s sets and productions, that there’s a deep and fundamental understanding of the mechanics of techno and electronic music. If you’re to understand Mojave’s upbringing listening to hard underground music and you pin it up alongside a trained ear with a strong foundation in music theory and history, it’s easy to see why. Mojave’s music comes from a very informed place and when you listen to her selections everything has an interaction and each part of the music is considered on its own. From tonal characteristics, rhythm, pitch, to that essential ill groove that most people seem to gloss over these days, she has it nailed down. Mojave’s musical choices, like all good techno, just make good sense, with function and flow down to every nuance.”

Mojave has performed top nightclubs, festivals and the underground circuit throughout the U.S. and Europe, headlining Berlin’s famed Suicide Circus and SchwuZ, supporting the likes of Sasha and Skream at Minimal Effort festival; DVS1, Volvox, Hyperactive, Paul Johnson, Woody McBride at the legendary Even Furthur festival; Radio Slave, The Advent at 6AM x INCOGNITO; John Tejada at The Liquor Store; Kerri Chandler, CamelPhat, Coyu, Mark Kinchen, Prok & Fitch, Harvey McKay, Noir, Danny Howard at Exchange; Matt Lange at Clinic Wednesdays; Tijana T at FOCUS; Francesca Lombardo, Chus & Ceballos at La Cave.

Internationally, she holds a residency on FNOOB Radio (London) and appears regularly on prominent radio shows like Data Transmission, Dublab, and more in the U.K., U.S., Germany, and Canada. She serves as a social media manager for female:pressure, a Berlin-based international collective advocating for women-identifying and non-binary artists in electronic music. In Los Angeles, she co-manages PANIC, an underground house/techno warehouse series, and Jill's House, a monthly house music event.
