Amsterdam’s Ratherlost crew has spent the past few years perfecting the art of the marathon rave. Their home base is Lofi, a cavernous warehouse where sound, light, and visuals fuse into long-haul journeys that stretch well past the 18-hour mark. But epic runtimes mean nothing without the right hands at the controls, and Ratherlost has proven it knows how to curate, pace, and execute like pros.

Lofi’s two-floor setup allows for shifting moods: daylight hours wander through deep, dubby techno, slowly morphing into faster, syncopated rhythms as night tightens its grip. Pacing is everything in a space like this. And when it comes to the craft of pacing, few do it better than Bas Dobbelaer.

Bas is one of our favorite DJs for a reason. He understands that a warm-up set is an architecture rather than just background noise. It shapes the room, sets the tone, and welcomes dancers into the story. The mix we’re thrilled to share today was recorded live at Ratherlost’s Easter Sunday session at Lofi, where Bas shared the bill with artists like Aaron J, Na Nich & Vera Logdanidi, Aurora Halal, DVS1, upsammy, Occa, Agonis, Dasha Rush, Seb H, and Oscar Mulero. Quite the roster.

In the face of that stacked lineup, Bas delivered a masterclass in restraint and elegance. His three-hour set unfolds like a novel, tracing dub techno’s DNA across the past two decades. The vibe is timeless, spacious, and beautifully measured, a perfect example of how to warm up a warehouse without blowing the doors off too soon.
This is precisely the kind of DJing we live for: subtle yet commanding, hypnotic yet full of life. Clear your next 180 minutes. Plug in. And get a little Ratherlost yourself.

Delayed x Ratherlost: Bas Dobbelaer

🫧At the center of this journey stands @eterna_l https://on.soundcloud.com/eterna_l — founder of Transition and an intuitive selector whose practice resides at the intersection of sonic nuance and emotional depth. After over two decades behind the decks, his sets unfold as layered panoramas of atmospheric house, ethereal synths, and hypnotic rhythms, inviting listeners into a state of suspended time.

Since 2016, Transition has offered an alternative to the fast-paced club experience — a veiled world for deep listening, tonal subtlety, and dreamlike immersion. Here, texture outweighs climax, and progression moves beyond immediacy🫧

In his ongoing explorations while closing last Transition: in front of an adored crowd at the about blank garden after Dj Dustin, Orion and Alex Albrecht, eternal_l continued to guide us — into memory, motion, and pure elation 🪸

We’re opening our new mixtape series Umwege — a dedication to the detours, connections, and encounters that shaped a year spent traveling through Germany’s dance music landscape.

For the first edition, we’re joined by TILS (@tils303), an upcoming artist from Haan, a small city between Düsseldorf and Wuppertal. Recently, he has been making a name for himself in NRW’s dance music scene with his DJ sets and music productions. His debut release just landed on Victor’s imprint Magic Power, marking the beginning of a promising journey.

Summer is drawing to an end and with that comes colder nights. So it’s only fitting that Vinsen takes over for one of our last summer shows with the warmth we’ve started get familiar with. Like an orange sunset sinking into the sea and the final glow that touches our soul. Woven together as a narrative to remember the holidays, festivals and precious moments with friends. One last sweet cocktail and then it’s back to clubs and techno. You can see Vinsen back in the club during ADE on October 24th at Pintai in Multipla.

Natural Positions w/ Vinsen - 5th September 2025

"I’ve been thinking about recording a left-field mix (for the lack of better term) for quite a while, definitely for a couple years already. About a year ago I finally complied the selection of records, but for some reason I was postponing the very final step of recording it ever since. It is only because I took my first ever sabbatical leave from work recently that I managed to find inspiration for it to be finalised, and even to be repeatedly re-recorded, since the first take got screwed by the recording device’s misconfiguration.

This is not a perfect mix. But I’m still proud of it. The selection of records spans from 92 to 112 bpm, and the very premise of playing it in one take using only vinyl still sounds challenging to me. Yet, here we are: the mix is finally ready after all these months and years of hesitation and procrastination."
