Our newest TILT.cast is here, with a very fine and classy selection by Hardwax icon Jesse G:

"I wanted this mix to be groovy, energetic, trippy but also cheeky and fun. A mix you could listen to at home, on your way to the train, in the car or while pregaming with your friends and it would always be fun to listen to it."

Philippa Pacho b2b Sandrien at Draaimolen Festival 2024

Next up in our series, we’re excited to welcome Mary Yuzovskaya, a DJ and producer whose surgical sense of the groove and love for minimal sound structures have become trademarks over the years. At the helm of her own record label, Monday Off, Mary puts in the same precision and effort she dishes out through all of her vinyl-only DJ sets. Stripped-back and highly cerebral, her style sits at the junction of heavily dubbed-out psychedelia, liquid abstraction and post-industrialism, and this mix doesn’t differ. Enter Yuzovskaya’s mazy new vinyl exclusive mix with crumbs of bread in your pocket and some red thread, for we’re yet to know where the labyrinth ends. But does it even have an end?

For the 24th edition of our mix series we are happy to have a live set by our dear friend @peachlyfe - recorded at TILT @ RSO 18.10.24:

"This live set is a hypnotic blend of psychedelic techno, glitchy textures, and deep, rolling basslines. It’s a long progression of warped synths, distorted vocals, and captivating melodies. It’s the fruit of many hours contemplating: What’s the perfect mix of techno and trance? You be the judge if peachlyfe found that balance."

Modern hypnotics from a new techno star.

It's a tale as old as time: techno DJ moves to Berlin to chase a dream. Philippa Pacho is part of the latest wave of talent to tread that familiar path. But don't let that fool you. She's one of the classiest artists around—no TikTok gimmicks here.

Pacho's formative years were spent in her native Stockholm, navigating a vibrant DIY party scene that included warehouse raves and illegal parties. She eventually took up a long-standing residency at beloved local club Under Bron and the experience, as she details in this week's Q&A, sharpened her technical skills, teaching her to handle every type of set—whether opening with patience, supporting a headliner or closing with finesse. She also played with countless touring DJs, from Answer Code Request to Antony Parasole, which ultimately inspired her move to Berlin.

That relocation has firmly paid off. It's a testament to Pacho's talent that you'll find her playing pretty much every big club and festival across Europe, from Berghain and Dekmantel to FOLD and Monument (we were exhausted just looking at her upcoming listings on RA). Other recent highlights include closing out Bassiani's tenth birthday, and back-to-backs with Fadi Mohem and Sandrien. 

Pacho's RA Podcast showcases her preference for classy, hypnotic techno, striking a balance between muscle and subtle groove. Her aptitude for what makes dance floors tick is also evident on her two labels—Phorum Records and positivesource (co-run with Blue Hour)—both of which mirror her DJ style, blending intensity with delicate textures. positivesource has released several standout records, including this year's "Psycho" by BLANKA and Phil Berg's "Psyckik" (which you'll hear on this mix). 

Spanning 70 minutes, RA.980 is a window into Pacho's thoroughly modern sound (the oldest track is from 2018). And yet it retains a refined, sweeping quality. Give it a spin and you'll soon twig why she's in demand on dance floors worldwide.

Get in the zone with TILT.cast 25 by our guest and french sound-connaisseur Sied, exploring rhythmic realms out of the techno bubble:

"As is usual, I did a mix that progressively builds in energy and tempo. Groove and rhythm serve as the common thread, with tracks spanning various genres. I enjoy eclectic selections featuring complex rhythmic sections, drawing from dub, bass, and Latin influences. The percussive cuts often carry a distinct UK flavor, tailored for energetic dancing and powerful sound systems. Towards the end, the mix becomes more trippy, adopting a minimalist tech vibe."

@oscarmulero is one of those artists whose sound is immediately identifiable. It has had an unwavering depth, headiness and atmospheric richness to it for more than 30 years, which is a remarkable achievement few can match. A famous non-conformist, the Spaniard's top-tier three-deck mixing skills and ability to distil techno to its most hypnotic form have also long stood him apart, as have his Polegroup and Warm Up labels.

Mulero's consistency of sound means you know what you're going to get with this mix: spaced-out, layered and deep techno brilliance. Whether more dubby and roomy or glitchy and intense, it's music for both mind and body from one of the scene's most low-key but high-class veterans. Turn it up loud and look forward to more of the same when he plays at Dekmantel Festival later this year.

Taking over the RYC waves this week, Tokyo’s finest Mari Sakurai punches in with a helluva 2-hour treat by way of introduction. Working her way in the gap betwixt post-industrial opacity and heavy-duty brutalism, Mari has been slowly but surely making a name for herself with uncompromising sets spanning everything from cool-handed big room pound to mazy abstraction and other bursts of mind-altering sonics from way deep. Known for cutting a path of destruction with every of her mixes, her RYC offering doesn’t depart from such intentions, and we’re invited to a smorgasbord of claustrophobic hi-tech onslaughts and a string of purely exhilarating, apex-seeking momentums. Hi-voltage shockwave due for impact imminently.

TILT.cast 28 with indonesian raised and bangkok based Hi(gh) Hat delivering 1 hour of gritty techno!

"I woke up today feeling heavy with all the war news lately. So this mix I started with exactly what I felt, dark, intense with some dark industrial techno, but stick with it and it slowly shifts. I needed to build towards something brighter, more hopeful, like a future that I wanted to see. Think of it as my way of processing the chaos and holding onto belief that things can get better. Hope you feel the journey."

Zafer Atabey returns to EXTIMA with Never Alone, a ferocious four-tracker that cements his reputation as a peak-time techno craftsman. Each track is built to ignite the dancefloor with unrelenting energy and precision.

The title track, Never Alone, opens with heavy kicks, dark synth progressions, and striking vocal shots — a high-octane, no-frills weapon for peak moments. Control follows with a more progressive edge, blending melodic layers and intricate vocal stabs over driving percussion.

On Come Back, Zafer leans into hypnotic grooves and euphoric breakdowns, creating a hands-in-the-air journey that slams back into relentless rhythm. Closing the release, Born To Fly is an empowering anthem — female vocals declaring "I was born to fly" soar over thunderous beats and shimmering synths, making it a true clubfloor killer.

With Never Alone, Zafer delivers four distinct yet equally explosive cuts, showcasing the raw, euphoric, and sophisticated sides of his sound — another standout addition to EXTIMA's catalogue.
