Well, the goods have been delivered, as always. :) Big up, @syberkid! Excellent selection, amazing blends, fantastic overall mood. A true narrative. Keep up the great work!

For @syberkid, embracing diversity and unpredictability comes naturally. With a sound as wide-ranging as it is sleek and vibrant, her careful yet intuitive selections slip smoothly between playfulness and intensity; euphoria and driving energy, covering an array of genres and tempos in the process.

A busy DJing schedule has taken Sybil both across the UK (with appearances at Village Underground, Fabric, Glastonbury, and Timedance to name a few), and to respected events and venues around the world, including Berlin Atonal, Berghain’s Säule, the WHOLE Festival, De School (Amsterdam), Brutaż (Warsaw), ZVUK (Almaty) and Honey Soundsystem (San Francisco). Post-pandemic, Sybil has kept busy, playing at local parties across London (including the inaugural Risen festival), as well as hosting off-grid trance raves deep in the British countryside.

Her Patterns of Perception 96 is a spirited expedition to the outer edges of consciousness. Simultaneously pulsating and soulful, her selections trace a path through the void, carefully mapping the vast, incomprehensible expanses within. 
While this mix embraces a darker sonic palette, it carefully shies away from the brutal intensity often associated with darkness. Instead, Sybil’s interpretation is psychedelic and sensuous, guiding us on a journey which is strange, thrilling and ultimately revitalising.

Patterns of Perception 96 - Sybil

"I often build mixes up from light, floaty frequencies, slowly layering in sounds, but for this mix, I wanted to be right in the intensity of the situation from the start.

This story follows an abandoned spaceship, adrift in the depths of the cosmos. Something strange and perplexing has happened here. Unnerving and claustrophobic from the get-go, this initial constriction of pressure is gradually unwound as the mix twists and turns through a variety of ominous soundscapes…"

Sybil at Floresta - Waking Life '23

For MNMT 402 we welcome London based artist, Sybil with a mystical two hour voyage spanning the deepest depths of techno and beyond, stitched together from a broad palette of textures, ambiance and psychedelia. 

About the mix Sybil said:

“For this mix I wanted to capture the icy freshness of January, a month filled with new energy, bright skies, and winter’s introspection. Inspired by a trip in the mountains: cold alpine air, glittering snow, and vast expanses of rock nestled amongst forests of pine trees. I also wanted to bring the sonic feeling of my Deep Mind Music (https://soundcloud.com/deep-mind-music) mixes into a techno format. A mix for daytime deepness, spiralling upwards on a shimmering journey through the sky.”

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.

It's such an interesting story accompanied by high skill not only in the electronic but also in the instrumental parts. Ambient, Downtempo, old school gamy sound, cantonese pop music vibes and more interesting colours appear in this versatile journey. Real earcandy 🍭

More about Xiaolin ~

Xiaolin (曉霖) is a DJ, producer, vinyl collector and classically-trained musician from Hong Kong. Driven by a relentless curiosity for warm sounds, complex emotions and colourful textures, she enjoys crafting magnetic sets that draw audiences in, while her live ambient sets reveal the more contemplative side of her natural musicality as a former concert violinist.

Xiaolin spent a decade studying classical violin, jazz, world music and electronic composition at Juilliard (BM’14) and Berklee Valencia (MM ’15/’16), where she played in Batucada/jazz bands and began collecting records under her mentor, Nacho Marco. Having spent two years in London just before the pandemic, she developed an interest in UK underground culture and Detroit electro.

Inspired by sounds from the the mid 80’s-early 00’s, her love for video games, anime, nature as well as a respect for her Cantonese roots, Xiaolin’s analog synth-heavy productions range from gritty acid house and breaks with earthy percussion to tripped-out electro, bassy groovers and raw downtempo ambience that invoke deeper feelings of romantic adventure with a dreamy, theatrical touch.  

Despite her ever-evolving nature, Xiaolin’s ethereal-yet-raw sound remains a signature throughout all productions.

Xiaolin is sensitive to the dancefloor and crafts an intuitive journey unbound by genre, digging deep to discover dynamic connections.  Her energetic, acid-laden selections explore the vast in-between of house and techno, while her original live set has three formats: “Sun” for daytime settings, “Moon” for meditative settings and “Body” for nightclub settings.

Releases include two EP’s on 宀 Records, a collaborative track on Klasse Wrecks “Michaelsoft", VA contributions on 20/20 Vision (Exit Planet Earth – “Helium”), Polychrome Audio (“Diffraction EP”) and Harmony Rec (upcoming), as well as three 80’s Cantonese disco tribute EP’s on Sound Metaphors’ “Bless You” imprint (A&R by Jane Fitz).

Xiaolin's ‘HEX’ residency at 宀 (Hong Kong) has seen her invite & play alongside guests such as Polygonia, Mary Lake, Peach, Merve, Vlada, Joe Delon, Closet Yi, Jesse You, Maara etc.  She hosts a bimonthly show on Baihui Radio China and has done guest mixes on EYA, Test Pressing, The Mudd Show, The Lot Radio, NTS and Balamii amongst others.  

Recent highlights include Boiler Room (Singapore), Blitz Club (Unchained), and Panorama Bar on live set as part of Sound Metaphors’ 9-year-anniversary event (coinciding with the release of her second EP on Bless You), with upcoming sets at Wonderfruit Festival and Womb Tokyo.  She will make her Rainbow Disco Club live set debut with Kuniyuki Takahashi in April 2025.

It is a pleasure to have gifted Switzerland based artist @timnah-sommerfeldt with us for the 26th episode of our Herbarium mix series! 🌱
She composed a trippy journey through ambient, dnb and grey area - a really deep and introspective ride. She created a very coherent story around her choice of plant, the European beech. 

Here's a little backstory by TImnah about her choice:
"I chose the native, beautiful European beech (Fagus sylvatica) because it serves as an important point of reference for me during my mushroom walks in the forest. Among all the trees there, it is especially the beech that always guides me.
A large mushroom community lives in symbiosis with this impressive tree. It's fascinating to observe how this natural cycle begins anew each year—from summer into winter.

~ The coexistence of the beech with fungi begins when the delicate root of a beech seedling comes into contact with the soil and the mycorrhizal fungi living within it. It only ends long after the tree's death, when the dead beech wood is completely decomposed. ~

My mix was recorded after a snowy, cold November day in the forest and is joyfully dedicated to the European beech, which gifted me a delicious dinner 🍄‍🟫🦪🌳🤍"

About Timnah
Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

The recording of my set on The Mudd Show x Radiance in the beautiful loft space at w37 Berlin on the 30th of November 2024 ~ also on https://youtube.com/watch?v=bRzN3AeMfsc

This type of set is one I adore playing, but don’t often have the occasion to, neither fully ambient nor for the dancefloor ~~ a fluid liminal zone of flickering rhythms and shimmering tones. A glowing meditation to cleanse and clarify 💠

Feat. music from: Brendon Moeller, Davis Galvin, Daris Hopper, mu tate, LDS, Re:Axis, Aleksi Perälä, Ishq +++

Hope you enjoy 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪

The Mudd Show ~ 30.11.24

Longtime friend of the label, Amsterdam based Human Space Machine (@humanspacemachine), who has released on the likes of prolific Dutch labels @delichting & @nousklaeraudio, as well as re:st and nowhwere, presents an amazing mix in his signature style of driving, psychedelic techno. 

With both DJ'ing and production output alike, Mike's name has been popping up increasingly everywhere in the last couple of years, and his productions span from 4x4 trippy, groovy techno, to intricate & otherworldly half-speed gems. This mix comes amidst the beginning of his Australia tour :) 

Welcome Mike! and thank you for the mix!

When recording this mix, I imagined playing a set at 6AM, at the end of a high intensity rave outside in nature. Going from hazy pre-dawn darkness, to the sun cresting over the horizon and into glorious sparkling sunlight 🌤

A sunrise set for when you can telepathically feel the energy of everyone else on the dance floor. These are the moments I am missing right now, and this mix is dedicated to those luminescent mornings.

These are all my most sacred, emotional, magical tracks in one mix, including many of my favourite ‘90s techno-trance records from a golden time for transcendental dance music. 

100% euphoria ヾ(✯◠ ֊ ◠)ノ♪


This set was first broadcast on Club Quarantäne on the 29th of March 2020. Thanks to the Club Q crew for having me on, an innovative project of connection in this time of isolation 😊
