A long lost and forgotten recording from a friend. A deep and introspective ambient mix, inspired by emotional movie scores. A real tear jerker.

Slowly Episode #19 - Friend

Rising from the South African underground, Thor Rixon has found his home in Berlin’s electronic music community, spreading his unique sound of forward-focused dance music across Europe, with releases on respected House & Techno labels such as Get Physical, Activia Benz, Laut & Luise, and his own labels Vibe Killer & Eko Worldwide.

When he takes the stage, expect energy. He launches a dance floor with an array of analog drum machines, synthesizers, and samplers. Fully improvised live sets that dive deep into intricate and textured soundscapes, which sit on a bed or rolling and pulsing rhythms. This live show and Rixon’s production style has made him a growing force in the global dance music landscape.

His raw and infectious energy has allowed him to perform his live show on the stages of Europe & South Africa’s most notorious festivals and clubs, leaving his mark on Fusion Festival (DE), Garbicz Festival (PL), Lighthouse Festival (HR), Habitat Festival (DE), Watergate (DE), The Great Escape Festival(UK), and Carfax (SA).

Here's an exclusive two hour live recording generously gifted to us by the enigma himself. Lots of love to Thor for sharing a piece of himself with all of us, and our apologies to all of you for the delayed upload... Rabbit been busy ;)

Thor's Live setup for this mix includes Elektron Octatrack, Digitakt, Syntakt & Analog 4 - all going through a RNLA compressor. Recorded April 2024.
