LabMix026 recorded sat.17-08-24 @ Default-Lab home studio. 
A compilation of various tracks by some of my favorite various artist and labels. System Overload... A boiling hot session that's just destined to make you move.
There's some serious business going on here, a blend of heavy, hypnotic, sweaty repetitive techno,  perfectly suitable for the peak of the night till the break of dawn! 
A continuously increasing vibin' sound that exceeds the point of no return, so be aware ...  'Meltdown Initiated'
Also luvin' my setup, on the mixing part still deepening out the possibilities on the A&H Xone DB4, new headphones seems to do it's part and I'm still fine tuning/organizing my Serato catalog to a more logic extend. All this contributes to the result of this mixing session recorded on a hot summer night in a boiling hot studio. Again A signature Default LabMix, please enjoy!

Stay Cool,
DL.

Summer Sundays

Summer.Sundays.74 - AnnaLogue

LabMix027 recorded sat.02-11-24 @ Default-Lab home studio.
A compilation of various tracks by some of my favorite various artist and labels. Full thrust ahead... A peaktime session, launching you on a digital highway in a landscape of electronic components, Light-Emitting Diodes and soldered pathways.
Experiencing scattering rhythmics, static soundwaves, high frequency sparks, glimmering particles and fully charged beats. So, energy level is on max, the gauges are set on lightspeed! Let’s go!
My advice: strap on, don’t look back and just keep going… next exit in 90 minutes!
Also luvin' my setup, on the mixing part still deepening out the possibilities on the A&H Xone DB4 and still fine tuning/organizing my Serato catalog to a more logic extend. All this contributes to the result of this mixing session. A signature Default LabMix, please enjoy!

Cheers,
DL.

Default LabMix027 02 11 24 - A Binary Propulsion

LabMix028 recorded sat.28-12-24 @ Default-Lab home studio.
A compilation of various tracks by some of my favorite various artist and labels. recorded earlier this weekend at my home studio. 
this latest set is actually a test recording to try out my new configuration and settings on the DB4, 
this A&H mixer still continues to amaze me even after all these years. 
I have been using it so long now in various configurations, but only recent have I discovered the MIDI mapping functions, which finally allowed me to put an 
end to that annoying lag between the timecodevinyl and the internal MIDI clock of the DB4. 
This results in much more comfortabel, fun and smoother mixing.
I feel like the test was successful and I can 
now continue remapping the mixer even more to my personal feel.
(I like my workflow to be as analog as possible, old school. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a digital mixer.)
So now I basically created 2 layers, 1 for FLAC digital/timecode and 1 for good old real vinyl. 
No extra hardware needed, less is more, that's how I prefer it, everything hands-on, on 1 piece off gear. 
So, once more, A signature Default LabMix, please enjoy!
Happy Holidays!

Cheers,
DL.

Default LabMix029 28 12 24 - 83 minutes of fun

'100 Minutes Sessions' by dj/producer Mirko Antico. This time I'm happy to announce a guest mix. Trying out different perspectives, that is the concept of these sessions. Playing with a different view than you are used to, playing techno from the soul with an artistic twitch. My Italian guest takes up the challenge and transports us on a planetary trip, a journey full of deep, acidic and flowin, hypnotic vibrations. Enjoy and feel free to like or comment. Thank you

Let’s make a scene:
Would you also like to take up this challenge? Just PM me via soundcloud and send me your 100 minutes ”techno” link via WeTransfer. 
everything will be aproved after evaluation. If you’re sound can touch me…then you have a chance to host the next ‘100 Minutes Session’ on my SC page

Cheers DL.

Summer.Sundays.76 - Contrarian

hi there, 
It's been a while but here I'm back with my new LabMix session, LabMix031.
Maybe a little less usual than my previous sessions, I start this one with a slightly softer approach and I let myself be inspired by the STOOR concept of Speedy J. 
As usual the first hours of this concept are always very accumulative, mostly starting from dreamy scapes and floating offbeat sounds, the improvisation collective searches and evolves bit by bit towards a fixed 4-to-the-floor rhythm. If I may say, I am really satisfied with my own interpretation of a STOOR (on Sunday) night.
In short, a 2-hour deeeeeeeeeeep techno mix in which I search the way to "Re-Establishing Connections"
Anyway I hope you enjoy and always feel free to give feedback or following me on Soundcloud is a real gift! 
Cheers 
DL.

Default LabMix031 15 03 25 - Re-Establishing Connections

Hello,
as a follow-up and especially because of the many positive feedback we will continue in the same vein as the previous session.
So, same vibe, same formula! still completely inspired by STOOR I bring you once again a 2 hour set of floating offbeat to deep techno beats cleaved with crackling and creaking, sparking, electro-organic sounds. this is LabMix032 "A Static Release". 

I humbly serve you a session composed of some of my current favorite artists and songs of this time. This time a bit rougher on the edges and a bit darker feeling but still with that same exciting feeling as the previous SC session.
I present you the second act of STOOR. My own interpretation of hours 3 and 4 of this event

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and feel free to give feedback or follow me on Soundcloud, that is really a gift!
Greetings
DL.

| Biography |

Psytox (aka Norman Bates, MDNT:SON, Didier Beydts, Svemirski, PSTX) has been dj'ing since 1989. Rather than being pigeonholed into one style of music, he mixes very eclectic sets, including elements of acid, house, techno, deephouse, minimal, breakz, d'n'b,... . It has brought him to a wide variety of venues in different scenes.
Together with Edward Molton he also founded his own imprints Coincidence and Coincidental Records, who have been releasing Techno from artists like Jeroen Search, 6SISS, Esther Duijn, Ruffneck Prime, Rebekah, Marcel Fengler, Developer, Delta Funktionen, Charlotte de Witte, Conforce, Mary Velo, Tom Hades, Layr and many more. He also produces and releases on Rhythm Converted and Be As One. He also promotes his own nights at Kompass Klub, Café d'Anvers and Tomorrowland's infamous "Rave Cave". So hard working is definitely a suitable description.

He has been known to play extensive sets (up to 15 hours straight) at established events such as Tomorrowland, Kozzmozz, Thé Dansant, Wanted Berlin, Extrema Outdoor, Lost Theory Festival,… and venues such as Kompass Klub, Now & Wow, Other Side, Zodiak, Tresor, Cafe d'Anvers, Fuse, Chalet, Charlatan, Decadance and Silo to name just a few.
