The third instalment in our mix series is served by our co-founder, creative director and resident DJ F2B.

Behind the decks he focuses on techno music, especially progressive- and goa trance from the early 90s and 2000s. His unique style is inspired by a fusion of hiphop’s rhythms, the creative freedom of jazz and the industrial sound that has been dominating the iconic techno scene in Berlin. F2B had his debut at Hangaren in Copenhagen in the summer of 2023 and is now ready to make his next appearance at Pitstop in February.

This set is packed with spacy vibrations, psychedelic soundscapes and hard hitting bass lines from early 2000s goa trance. A progressively evolving mix filled to the brim with warped transitions and hypnotising melodies that will keep you on your toes.

Get ready for the next installment of our mix series, featuring the electrifying Meowyn.

We caught up with him to delve into his creative process, and here’s what he revealed:

“I made this mix as a tribute to one of my friends at Syntharax. The first time we met, it was a breath of fresh air. I used tracks that my friends have either made themselves or introduced me to—music that has surprised me or been outside my regular soundscape. I also wanted to show myself what I can create with tracks and genres that I enjoy but haven’t played as a DJ yet. To convince myself of what I’m capable of. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did while making it <3”

For our 20th episode, we have invited local powerhouse Anna Logic.

When we asked Anna about her creative process for this mix, she shared the following with us:

“Explaining a mix in words can be tricky for me, as my approach to creating is quite abstract. 
Still, here’s a bit of my thought process:
This mix is my exploration of groove—a concept that has become somewhat of a phenomenon. I wanted to reflect on what groove means to me personally. I find the interplay between groove and euphoria especially captivating, as it’s something I feel deeply connected to.
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed making it!”
