As summer's warmth dissolves into twilight, grey clouds gather on the horizon, bearing the whispers of rain and the pine forest's scent yields to the caress of a fresh breeze. We are delighted to unveil Estimulo's latest mix for Deep Breakfast Series, a sonic journey to envelop your senses.

Estimulo is an avid record digger and die-hard music aficionado with extensive vaults of records since the late 80s. In his club DJ sets he’s on the lookout for those special moments of dancefloor salvation, oscillating between Deep House and Techno’s classics and more obscure electronic treasures, with splashes of Electro & Disco / Funk and with an extended broad perspective on genres and epochs not forgetting recent and upcoming gems. It’s not purely a retrofuturistic thing, rather he strives to connect music of different epochs to form a holistic flow. His special passion is to make his own edits / versions of the music he loves. With his label Mixomat Recordings (founded in 2004) he has been putting out early releases by artists such as
Marco Nega, immer.Chic (Workshop), Rezkar (Running Back, Meakusma) and Serendipity/Rai Scott (Inner Shift Music / 2DeepSoul).
His weekly Radio Show (EstimuloShow @ mixomat.org since 2007, also on Cashmere Radio since 2017) is regarded as a mainstay by many in the scene.
The last years have seen Estimulo taking the vibe to places like the US, Chile, Argentina, Australia, UK, France, Canada, Norway, Poland, Ukraine and Jordan on his DJ tours.
Estimulo used to co-run the futura event agency and DJ crew, that has been causing some stir in the Berlin scene with their proceedings in beloved underground spots like ://about blank, Paloma, Horst and Chez Jacki/Maria am Ostbahnhof.

About the mix he said:
"It's like a sequence of childhood memories. You close your eyes and remember science fiction films with the infinite universe and thousands of stars, a summer beach with your parents and siblings, then a spaceship with robots running around excitedly and making beeping noises. A few minutes later, you're beamed back to Earth and standing on the top of a mountain, gazing down into the wide valley, then a long walk through the forest along a mountain river. Or you hear the large church organ. In the end, it's all about aural beauty. I invite this music to give me and all listeners goosebumps. Nostalgia is only part of the equation here; i reckon timelessness is even more important. I hope you enjoy the journey through my memories and moods."

Deep Breakfast 324 ~ Estimulo

A little surprise to ease out of the summer and reminisce on the beautiful weekend we had at Monument Festival. I’m truly grateful for all the positive feedback I’ve received, and like many of you, I also felt the need to revisit this journey. 

Since there were some latency issues with my monitoring during the set, I decided to re-record the original tracklist to share this moment together as a sonic memory.

As a third-year visitor of the festival, I can safely say that my musical journey wouldn't have been the same without all the inspiring artists I have experienced at Monument. It has expanded my horizons in such a deep and valuable way, and it felt only right to reflect that journey in my set.

The mood I wanted to creat was an excursion over "Planet Monument". A bird's-eye view of the utopian place, shaped by many different sonic qualities that together form the festival we all love so much. 

Set time: Thursday 31st of August 20:00 - 22:00

📡 OMM Transmission 016 📡
For the 16th episode, we welcome Iffie — DJ, curator, and founder of Into The Abyss.

From Athens, she has carved out her space in the darker and deeper corners of modern techno, shaping sets that feel both hypnotic and alive. In 2020, she launched Into The Abyss, a platform that amplifies emerging artists and labels, and she continues to nurture community as co-owner of Commune — the record store, café, and bar that has become a creative pulse for the city.

Her mix for OMM Transmission is personal: stitched together from moments and people who inspired her, recorded in a state of rare calm where everything slowed down. The result is a journey that unfolds with depth and drive, tension and release — inviting you to sink in and lose yourself.

Dive in, drift through, and let Iffie’s transmission resonate.

To celebrate the arrival of autumn, we're thrilled to introduce the new Deep Breakfast mix by Skander Jaïbi - a warm and comforting soundscape perfect for the season's crisp mornings and cozy afternoons. Let the sounds be your soundtrack to the first weekend of fall.

Skander Jaïbi is a Tunisian and Dutch composer, audiovisual artist, curator, and science educator. He holds a Masters degree in the philosophy of physics is one of the founders of Uncloud festival. His medium of choice is often sound. His works range from a strong focus on the use of field recordings and archival material to creating compositions that may or may not integrate such recordings.

About the mix he said:
"This sonic journey meanders between music with voice as a central element, heavily layered ambient worlds, and more direct compositions that feel otherworldly. A big part of the selection comes from albums I've been listening to often and attentively this year. By curating tracks in an almost radio-style fashion, I've tried to create a journey that lets each piece shine in its own right. It opens and closes with two tracks from my debut album, released this year on Uncloud Editions."

Tracklist:
1. Skander Jaïbi - II
2. Rafael Anton Irisarri - Persistence
3. Eveline Ypma - Strand
4. Claire Rousay - iii
5. Carmen Villain - Nutrition
6. Near Stoic - A Cute Little Nest to Land (Forthcoming on Uncloud Editions)
7. Cucina Povera - Kurki
8. Faten Kanaan - Mist & Madrigal
9. Oliv Oliv - Remember my Name
10. Fadi Tabbal - (keep beating)
11. Akira Rabelais - Du Côté De Chez Swann - Il Y a Bien Des Années ... Dans Le Silence Du Soir
12. Arash Akbari - You Were Real
13. Sara Persico - 10 34°26’14”N 35°49’24”E
14. Nicolas Jaar - I, you
15. Skander Jaïbi - VIII

Deep Breakfast 328 ~ Skander Jaïbi

@second_contact, Honey Trap mainstay, mix series pathfinder and metalsmith at @forge-fm is inspired by those who know the rules well enough to break them. Behind the decks, he oscillates between downtempo, dark wave, and progressive trance exploring the idea between restraint and release.

The fire at the center of the floor was more signal than warmth against the countryside chill. Sparks shot upward into the night as dancers circled around, bodies locked into the pulse spilling from the booth. Above Below Festival thrives on these elemental juxtapositions: a rural valley transformed into a site of intensity, a cocoon-like booth channeling waves of sound that felt larger than the space itself. With every kick drum, the edges of the night blurred, and for hours the crowd existed in a suspended orbit around light, heat, and rhythm.

It was here that Timesplitters, Jake and Pat, took hold. Their set drove forward on cavernous bass, but the force alone wasn’t what bound the floor; it was the shifting mid-range voices, synth lines and melodic sequences mutating like smoke from the fire, wrapping dancers in a narrative of tension and release. They approached the set less as selectors and more as authors, tracing the night with a balance of discipline and wildness. Despite their name, there was no split in time, only the sense of one continuous current, shared in firelight, smiles, and unbroken motion.

We’re beyond excited to share a brand-new 90-minute mix from Narathip, a long-time friend and supporter. From his days working with Dekmantel to building his ever-inspiring Rhythmic Culture platform, Narathip has consistently championed forward-thinking sounds and community-driven projects, something we’ve always connected with. It feels special to host him here with a mix that captures his signature flow: syncopated percussive bass, half-time/double-time momentum, and cutting-edge sound design tied together with groove and finesse. Big love for everything he brings!

"I don't dance" is a pretty bold statement coming from someone whose line of work is to make the rest of us dance - but Locked Groove clearly knows what he likes, and it seems to be working out. He shot straight to the top in 2012 with two EPs on Hotflush Recordings ("Keep It Simple" and "Rooted") as well as one on Turbo ("Different Paths"), and Scuba's heavy use of his material in his recent Fact mix shows that we have a lot to look forward to in 2013. Locked Groove has been in high demand lately, and his Truancy Volume reflects all the reasons why his DJ sets are worth catching. We caught up with him to see where he's been at lately, which you can read below to find out such important information as why trance is maybe not so bad as you think and some of the more unexpected sounds that inspire him to do what he does.
