About The Mix:
“In planning this roughly 90-minute hardware set, I wanted to explore multiple styles, genres, and intensity levels, within the mid-tempo BPM range of approximately 107-111. I feel that this tempo is somewhat underappreciated and overlooked, and conveniently happens to set a perfect late Saturday afternoon atmosphere. My live set mostly revolves around the Elektron Analog Rytm, the process is taking a pre-arranged four-bar sketch created on the machine, and manipulating it in a combination of ways into a 4+ minute on-the-fly track. In this set, I’m also streaming more completed and released tracks via the Roland SP-404 MKII, and enjoying and expanding on some interplay between the two, the way a DJ might between two decks. Despite a few minor flaws and blunders (I happen to appreciate these to a degree in a live set), I’m overall quite happy with how the planning of this particular set came to fruition with the performance and couldn’t be more pleased to share. I hope you enjoy it, thanks! ” - Glo Phase

Elektron Analog Rytm, Novation Bass Station II, Roland SP-404 MKII, Behringer Model D, Strymon Volante, MXR Carbon Copy, Allen & Heath Zed 6FX

Día de los Muertos

An audio recording of 1 hour acid techno set with its live performance groove, improvisation, imperfections and raw sound of analog synths.

Set The Tone

Silent Driver is a nocturnal electronic journey blending cosmic Italo disco, analog electro, and drifting synthwave. Built on sequenced basslines and immersive pads, it unfolds like a retro-futuristic night drive—hypnotic, slow-burning, and textured. Fully performed on hardware, recorded live, no DAW involved.

JXJ8 Hardware Set @ BPM

Synthplely Noise is a raw live session built on the pulse of a Roland TR-6S and the squelch of a Donner B1. No edits, no presets — just straight patterns, improvised noise, and acidic synth lines layered into a minimalist structure. A hypnotic jam born out of simplicity and pressure.

Everything was played and recorded live, in one take.

Equipment: Roland TR-6S · Donner B1
Style: Acid / Raw Techno / Minimal Hardware Jam

Sinthplely Noise Live 28-06-2025

Machines used: Sonicware Ambient O, Sonicware Liven Texture Lab, Walrus QI Etherealizer, Roland J-6 & S-1

I like making computers and other things make noises.

I am starting to experiment djing. My favourite tracks on Matsex Love https://open.spotify.com/playlist/64bAb3nsxgqNHS0fadTVo4?si=KP7jMe2MR2-4aI8N1aA-gA&pi=s4oWaCMRTF2BR

Born near the mystical temple of Mahakal, Himachal Pradesh, Kulwant Singh AKA JonyDemon spent most of his childhood exploring the darker Side of Life. The obvious exposure to ritualistic practices and Tantra-Mantra truly reflects in his music style. His sound can be Express as dark, demonic, eerie, and gloomy and a lot of elements are carried forward from his days as a guitarist and vocalist in several different Metal music outfits.

He tends to live life by his own rules and mix and master his own track from start to finish giving them a very distinct Vibe and flavor. He had always been a lone Wolf and traveled a lot, collaborating with musicians from across the world. The need to be a self-sustaining musician, not relying on others gave rise to this project
