Fred P at The Labyrinth 2011.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Niigata, Japan.

-----

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

After more than a year away, we’re back. And I’m beyond glad to welcome Kim Kenis, an artist from Belgium whom I recently met at the unforgettable @itsdelayed getaway. Our time together was brief, but it was undeniably memorable.

I was lucky enough to hear this mix live at the Barn last fall, and now we get to share it with everyone. In this three hours, Kim takes us on a delicate journey—one that gradually unfolds through space. It invites you, then teases you, pulling you deeper before you even realize you’ve surrendered to it. Known for her near-prolific output of thoughtful, studied radio mixes and a club & festival schedule that speaks for itself, Kim brings a bewitching tenderness to her DJ-ing—whether she’s sending stargazers into the ether with ambient selections or locking in the dance floor with minimalistic grooves.

The Labyrinth 2024 - So

Ben Kaczor’s entrancing music resonates within the emotional spectrum, exploring the delicate
balance between light and shadow with boldness and sensitivity. Navigating through the sonic landscapes of Dial Records and Elysia Basel with elements of stirring elegance, he is renowned for a compelling blend of atmospheric techno, vibrant house and cinematic soundscapes. His compositions inspire opportunities for both introspective reflection and creative expression alike.

This recording is from the first edition of L’Appuntamento, a series of open-air listening sessions initiated by Villa Lontana Records and Donato Dozzy in Rome. Each gathering pairs a vinyl set by Dozzy with a live electroacoustic performance by a new-generation artist.

In this first edition, held in the garden of Villa Lontana, Donato Dozzy opened the evening with a selection of minimal, folkloric, and acoustic-rooted records — setting the tone for Verde Prato’s live performance.

L’Appuntamento is an ongoing invitation to pause, tune in, and share time through listening. 
Next appointment is Thursday 26 June 2025 with Ange Halliwell.

Not one to shout too loud or make a scene, Eric Cloutier is a resilient disc jockey and producer who perhaps represents techno and its truth in the most humanistic and humble of senses.

For many years he has worked tirelessly perfecting his craft and for anyone who has witnessed him dj, they will know that the intricacy, dedication and commitment is meticulous. 

His sets are free roaming, fast paced and wild. They are designed to encourage as much provocative thought as they are to move the feet and sound best played loudly beneath the cloak of darkness.

This special mix which he has recorded for us is no exception to that. A pensive, beat juggling affair which blurs the lines between techno, IDM and dub. It's a real treat and we are humbled and delighted to be able to feature him as part of our Ransom Note mix series.
