⁠
The Full Moon is always a time of reflection and transformation, but this time the influence is extra powerful. With the Moon in the emotional sign of Cancer, amplified by special astrological aspects, you can count on intense feelings, insights and maybe even a big step towards personal growth. Whether it's releasing old hurts, finding emotional security, or working on relationships and family patterns, this Full Moon offers opportunities to dive deeper into your own processes.⁠
⁠
Cancer, a sensitive and emotional sign that seeks safety in domestic spheres. During this period, there can be a lot of focus on your family and the past. The energy of this full moon is further enhanced by a special connection with Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Juno. These aspects bring changes and have a strong influence on relationships, including the connection with your twin soul.⁠
⁠
At the start of another fantastic year full of Andhera journeys, I'll be guiding you through this emotional, dark and confronting Full Moon. A more dense and deep passage through the dark abyss of hypnotic techno, accompagnied by mesmerizing productions and ethereal soundscapes. With an astonishing new artwork by my in-house designer!⁠
⁠
Enjoy this first Andhera session of 2025.⁠

Andhera XXVIII w/ Adjust (BE)

'Andhera’, darkness in sanskrit.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠

⁠

⁠
Our Full Moon today is in the extravagant sign Leo. Leo is a fire sign known for enthusiasm and the power to be seen. With the Sun as the ruler of this sign, Leo does not wait to be noticed by others, but she herself makes sure she is seen and all the spotlights are on her. This sign is expressive in everything she does and we all notice this as soon as the Moon is in this constellation.⁠
⁠
Since creativity plays a big role for Leo, you may feel the need to get creative. While that may feel exciting or even uncomfortable for many, there are always situations where you may show yourself more. To find out in which places, with which people or in what kind of setting you may let your light shine more, it is a good idea to pay close attention to the days around the Full Moon in Leo. This is the period when the most important clues will come to you.⁠
⁠
I've invited the creative and expressive Italian soul https://soundcloud.com/matteo-frau to embody this month's Full Moon. An intimate and yet very soothing and subtle contribution where shifting between various emotions is the key element in his guestmix.⁠

Andhera XXIX w/ WTTM

'Andhera’, darkness in sanskrit.⁠

Where there’s darkness, we will find light.⁠..

With every Full Moon or solar eclips I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who emodies and understands the dark, ambient and hypnotic side of techno.⁠

The Full Moon is a time of blossom and highlights.⁠
The Full Moon equals the spiritual and energetic culmination.

When the Full Moon has passed, the Waning Moon phase begins.⁠ This is the time to let go what no longer serves you.

Yesterday's Full Moon was in the sign of Libra, where 'balance' and 'relations' are the main themes.

This Full Moon emphasizes self versus other. You versus us. This is due to the influence of the sign of Aries, which the sun is now in, and the sign of Libra, in which the Full Moon occurs. Aries is very focused on itself. This sign does what it wants and likes to be the best, even if it has to disappoint another person from time to time to do so. Aries does not always do this consciously; occasionally this sign allows itself to be overly guided by its enthusiastic and fiery nature. 

The focus during this Full Moon is also on the topic of relationships. This is because of the ruling planet of the sign of Libra, Venus. Venus is seen in astrology as the love planet and is about being in harmony with others. Venus' energy is present when I-thinking gives way to we-thinking.

This challenging Full Moon will be embodied by one of Scotland's brightest DJ and producer, head of Arcadia Audio and part of Glasgow's brilliant collective Orbits: https://soundcloud.com/repart1 - who delivered his dazzling and no-nonsense pushing-and-pulling recording of his performance from the last Orbits (March 2025). A stong, atmospheric, groovy and powerfull session to say the least!

Today we have a Full Moon in the mysterious and intense sign Scorpio and right in the opposite of the sign Taurus.
⁠
Scorpio is not afraid of a little darkness. In fact, this sign prefers to dive straight in. No sense of superficiality, no masks, no fancy talk. During this moon you are invited to really feel what's under the surface. What have you been hiding away all this time? Scorpio wants the bottom line, even if it's a little uncomfortable.
⁠
Scorpio also represents transformation. Letting go, starting over, reinventing yourself. And if there's one sign that doesn't like that, it's Taurus. Taurus prefers to keep everything the way it was. Safe and familiar, without risks or big leaps. You probably feel that contradiction these days. You want to change, but you also want to hold on. You feel something is chafing, but don't know exactly.

Whoever says 'mysterious', 'intense', 'darkness' and 'feeling what's beneath the surface', can only be talking about 1 specific kind of magician. My brother-in-arms, longtime friend, established name in the hypnotic techno scene and returning for the second time: https://soundcloud.com/revenantoff

This week's Full Moon is in the optimistic sign of Sagittarius. Typical Sagittarius themes are enthusiasm, expansion, philosophy, travel; everything is about enlarging. Expanding your knowledge, your dreams, your opportunities, your experiences. And the Sagittarius does all this with a philosophical edge. This sign is looking for the deeper meaning behind everything that happens. 

That all sounds positive, but then there is the influence of Gemini (the sign the sun is in) that can make these days just a little more difficult. Sagittarius and Gemini are true opposites. Where Sagittarius philosophizes about the (distant) future, Gemini is present in the here and now.

As a result, you may find yourself in a kind of inner conflict. What do I want to focus on? Is that on the here and now? 
And after that? Think big and imagine that anything is possible. Be inspired by anything that comes to mind then.

Inner and outer conflicts, broken beats, out-of-the-box sounds, slowing down and speeding up, far from the classic 4/4 time signature, a true push-and-pull masterclass by https://soundcloud.com/vanta_techno who's this week's embodiment of June's Full Moon.⁠

Last week's Full Moon in Capricorn puts the focus on the future. As a matter of course, you are working on the goals you want to achieve. You feel that you shouldn't sit back now, but want to get to work. This has everything to do with the influence of the sign of Capricorn. Capricorn has a strong need for security. This sign is always working toward goals, ultimately creating a stable, secure situation for itself. 

Although Capricorn and Cancer (the sign in which the sun is) are opposites, they are both focused on security and safety. This expresses itself in different ways. Capricorn cares about a good reputation and is willing to work hard to get it. It is not surprising if Capricorn spends a lot of time in the workplace or in the (home) office. For Cancer, it is different. Cancer makes sure that the home feels safe and that everyone feels comfortable enough to express their emotions. 

For this Full Moon, also called 'Buck Moon', I've invited a very special guest. A pioneer in the hypnotic and deep techno scene, where words can't describe the reputation and talents of this mastermind, and above all a genuine friend of mine https://soundcloud.com/deepbass , who'll have no problem guiding you through his enchanted journey.

The Full Moon of August is in Aquarius. This is an intense Full Moon: it is a moment when heart and mind meet, when personal desires clash with the greater whole, and you are challenged to feel what you truly stand for. While the Sun in Leo invites you to make yourself visible and shine, the Moon in Aquarius whispers that true freedom only comes when you remain true to your core and are open to connecting with the world around you. ⁠
⁠
The Water Sign also invites you to remain true to yourself. ⁠
Who are you? ⁠
What are your core qualities? ⁠
What are the themes in your life that you can work on again and again? What dreams and desires do you cherish deep inside? ⁠
Stay close to your essence and dare to go against opinions that do not align with your own feelings and knowledge. ⁠
Your approach may be seen and felt by others as rebellious these days, so be focused and controlled, not impulsive and reckless.⁠
⁠
As for this Full Moon, I'm happy to present to you the recording of my set for @orbitsglasgow in March of this year, where I could play after insane build-up sets by https://soundcloud.com/repart1 and https://soundcloud.com/ferniemusic

Andhera XXXV w/ Adjust (BE)

On Purgatorium, we're joined by Adjust (BE) - a Belgian artist whose sound sits at the exact intersection of light and darkness. With releases on labels like Dorian, Khoros, Bahn, The Gods Planet and Modern Minimal among many others, his music blends hypnotic elements, ambient layers, and a powerful emotional depth that captures the most rooted feelings within ✨️

Former host of the long-running podcast Adjust Invites, and now curator of Andhera, his focus remains on techno’s most atmospheric and introspective corners.

Expect a refined and deep sound that reveals itself layer by layer throughout a mix built up only with his original productions.

⁠
This month we had a Full Moon combined with a Lunar Eclipse, also called the 'harvest Moon'.⁠
⁠
The Moon is in the sensitive sign of Pisces, directly opposite the sun in the practical sign of Virgo. Virgo likes to know where it stands. It plans, structures, and organizes, because that makes it feel secure. It acts based on facts and does research. And then there is sensitive Pisces. This sign acts based on feelings. If something doesn't feel right, it won't happen. Feelings are incredibly important to this zodiac sign, as is intuition.⁠
⁠
The theme of boundaries also plays a role during the days surrounding the Full Moon in Pisces. Pisces are sometimes so busy trying to please others that they forget themselves. Or they feel uncomfortable saying “no” and thus overstep their boundaries. Be alert to insights related to this theme in the coming days. Perhaps you will now discover in which areas you keep overstepping your boundaries, or why you find it so difficult to set boundaries with that one friend.⁠
⁠
For this intense Full Moon I've invited founder of DJ Academy Albania and co-founder of Beatnik's https://soundcloud.com/djacademy-albania for an astonishing journey through the deepest and most atmospheric landscapes.⁠

Andhera XXXVI w/ House Of Progon

‘Andhera’, darkness in sanskrit.⁠
⁠
Where there’s darkness, we will find light.⁠..⁠
⁠
With every Full Moon I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who embodies and understands the dark, ambient and hypnotic side of techno.⁠

⁠
This week we had a Full Moon in Aries, also going by the 'Hunters Moon'.
⁠
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It is the fire starter of all the zodiac signs. This enthusiastic, impulsive fire sign does not think too long before making choices. Once it has set its sights on something, it goes for it. Aries is guided by needs and impulses. This sign is courageous and has no time to think about whether it can do something or whether something is possible.

Opposite the Full Moon, the sun is in the sign of Libra. This creates tension—and what tension it is. Whereas Aries charges toward its goal without looking back, Libra is thoughtful. 

Because Aries represents yourself and Libra represents the other person, this is the area where challenges arise in the days around the Full Moon. Libra focuses on your relationship(s), but Aries also focuses on your own role in them. How do you honor your own needs, desires, and opinions in relation to others? Are you inclined to impose your vision, or are you the one who compromises (too much)? 
⁠
After 2 years, I re-invited Brazilian mastermind and good friend https://soundcloud.com/caueborba back on my Andhera series. An 80' intense liveset with unique, experimental but above all pure darkness with an exquisite and refined taste of atmospheric techno.

“An unseen balance between light and darkness”

Scattering for many years between different underground music genres, this frequency collided with the techno soundscape in 2016, creating an outburst of energy.

Equipped with a rumbling, driving, and unseen dedication to his passion, his journey began...

After he took the Belgian MUSICASA producer’s education, as a first step to pursuing his dream, he quickly released EP's and remixes on melodic techno labels such as SMR Underground, Melodia Records, Tanzgemeinschaft, and Papaya music.

After releasing and performing on various stages, and through the process of producing and self-awareness, he felt the melodic techno genre wasn’t the perfect reflection of what inspired and drove him.

In 2022 he had a change of heart as he started focusing more on
underground hypnotic, atmospheric and ambient techno, reaching for that inner spirit and dynamic balance. This resulted in releases on some of the biggest labels in the hypnotic scene like DORIAN, The Gods Planet, BAHN, Khoros, Informa, Space Textures, Arcadia,... with many more on the way.

Host of the podcast ‘Adjust (BE) Invites’ (2020-2023), he invited numerous DJ’s and Producers to make a signature guest mix, where the DJ/producer is the key element.

For over 130 episodes spreading over 3 years and reaching new listeners each month, the fanbase and mutual respect between colleagues kept growing daily.

In 2023 he started a new and hypnotic/deep-techno-exclusive podcast called ‘Andhera’, which translates to ‘darkness’ in Sanskrit. With every Full Moon or Solar Eclipse, a talented and highly respected DJ/producer creates a unique story.

An artist, hand-picked by himself, whom he highly admires, respects and who empowers and understands techno’s dark, ambient and emotional side.⁠

His style of playing and producing can be described as a perfectly, yet delicate, carved out balance between light and darkness, melancholic and emotionally charged. Cinematic sounds, rich and full of atmospheres, super evocative soundscapes with an inexplicable soul that can only be grasped when fully immersed into it.

Are you ready… to adjust your mind?
