The idea / concept for this podcast is “Journey”. Not so much referred to as moving from one place to another, but more as a journey of sensations, emotions experienced through music. The intention is to represent a sound journey in a 2 hours mix.

The theme underlying this mixtape is “The ghost in the machine,” a notion that delves into the anticipations and interactions people have with machines and their digital counterparts. This mixtape explores the complex interplay between humans and machines, shedding light on the way we project our emotions and aspirations onto the technology that surrounds us.

This mix is a rare showcase of my love for House music, a side people dont normally hear me delve into. That being said, Techno and House have always been related and one doesnt exist without the other!

I chose to reflect this mix of hypnotic and deep with a little bit of break in my set because the mix affects me emotionally and I always find the mix of hypnotic and off beat / break sound at slower tempos exciting and deep. The way I reflect my emotions is directly linked to the choices I make in my set. The effect of my set reflecting a deep and emotional journey and seeing the effect it will create is one of the main things that connects me to this set.

This mix was constructed around the idea of a soundtrack theme of a dystopian future. Imagine yourself driving your car at night, to go nowhere, just in order to feel the freedom back for a ride. I had a huge pleasure to play some EBM tracks in this mix, EBM was my first love discovering the techno scene, and still is today.

I used a poem by Charles Bukowski as my narrative for this mix.

"a poem is a city filled with streets and sewers
filled with saints, heroes, beggars, madmen,
filled with banality and booze,
filled with rain and thunder and periods of
drought, a poem is a city at war,
a poem is a city asking a clock why,
a poem is a city burning,
a poem is a city under guns"

The theme is love and lunacy. You will hear a lot of Melodies (which is not usually the case in my other podcasts😅). These melodies are the ones that stuck with me these last years …. It’s my first «ambientish » mix let’s say, with nearly no rhythms and many feminine voices. Only few percussions made their way into the mix cause I am too fascinated by drums. I wanted the podcast to transcript my feelings toward summer and melancholy.

This mix is made entirely out of old vinyls that I found in a small record loft in Hong Kong earlier this year.

Past, present and future are stitched together by time... which rushes relentlessly, relentlessly and without empathy ahead of us. It leaves us with the knowledge that nothing will ever come back. 
What remains is the desperate desire to be able to walk on it... back and forth to hold on to moments and emotions that have now come to an end, like everything else that is destined to end.... except time...

This recording was made during a challenging time for me and my fellow Ukrainians, amidst an existential struggle for the values of our community. Music is an essential part of my life, transcending the confines of style and perception. The story you are about to hear was recorded in the largest country in Europe, historically known as Kyivan Rus, where the principles of freedom and self-defense reign supreme. Through this set, I aim to share a narrative that lies deep within me.

The curation of sounds in this set is inspired by human brain waves: from the calm depths of delta to the alert energy of gamma, creating a space where you can meditate, detach, and visualise — all while your body feels the urge to move. As you listen, I invite you to paint a landscape in your mind based on your memories and desires, unlocking moments of intuition and focus, and connecting to a state of detached awareness.

This is an journey through the roots of my aesthetics regarding 90's hip hop and G-funk. I selected the most moody and eerie tracks that played a key role into shaping my modern techno sound.

This mix is a blend of sound landscapes, different genres, beats and textures. An invitation for adventurous listeners and music lovers without preconceived ideas. The whole structure has a cinematic approach with different chapters and dynamic ranges of intensity. I hope people can enjoy the ride as much as I did selecting some of these gems.

The mix explores the intricate connection between the mind and body. What makes you lose control—the groove, the hypnosis, or both seamlessly combined?

Without endings, beginnings lose their purpose. Slowing down doesn’t mean stopping—it means opening up, making space for what was and what’s to come. The paradox is that in letting go, you find what was meant for you all along, bringing you knowledge that one is inherently connected with the other. This mix is intentionally but equipping you to be the main character of the chapter. The horizon is wide open for you to fall into.

Inspired by the long, dark months and the physical and emotional sickness that often accompanies them, this collection of music weaves together original productions and discovered gems that resonate with the season’s duality: its harshness and its solace. Filled with rhythmic tracks with layers of different textures, the mix mirrors the tension and release of winter’s grip.

The aim of this set is to create a soundscape that merges dubstep’s raw textures and broken beats with the wild, organic energy of the jungle, forming a juxtaposition between city life and nature. It’s about blurring the lines between the two, crafting the kind of music I love to listen to while navigating Berlin’s urban landscape. Unlike my usual techno sets, this mix leans into atmosphere and mood, exploring a broader range of environments rather than focusing on the technical side. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Change is the universe’s rhythm, and an open mind its dance. To grow, we must question, explore, and let go—knowing that even failure carves the path to something greater.

I loved Jungle and DnB since I was a teenager. After a long journey through House and Techno I had a surprising b2b set with the godfather of DnB - Sir Goldie, about 8-9 years ago. We almost didn't played any electronic music that night, but the meeting inspired me to start digging bass music again. As I’m expected to play house and techno on my shows - with such and open format as Upperberry. I saw the chance to show my other passion. There is no deep philosophy behind this mix, just music I dance to, sometimes with hands in the air, sometimes eyes closed.

Dancing is a form of therapy and you should never hesitate to take care of your mental health under any circumstances. This mix was recorded in Kyiv, using an arsenal of purpose-built acidic club weapons shaped by wave, electro, minimal and EBM, to set movement free beneath falling shadows.

Post-club journey home mix. Ambient tracks for travelling the empty streets, roaming alone. Murmurs of conversations from the night before. Flickering lights as you fall asleep on the night bus. An emotive mix of essential tracks, combined with unreleased, contemporary productions and added field recordings from my journeys.

Bringing galactic sounds - a journey told in multiple parts. This mix revisits moments in time from the past years, a time of musical (re?-)discovery for me. Starting from scratch again, I asked myself: what do I feel? The photo on the artwork is of a place I very often go to reflect. I’ve been through many phases in this place, the energy of that place has shaped this mix. Peace and chaos. I built the mix in sections. The introduction is a live piece, created with my modular system. From there, it flows into dynamic, organic sounds. This mix is meant as a listening experience, not something made with the dance floor in mind.

This mix really reflects the era when I was deep into partying. Going out to places in Berlin like Polar TV, WMF and Sternradio Afterhour in the first years after the turn of the Millennium. I’m still amazed by the ideas and incredible productions from back then. Techno in that period was definitely driven by a much more emotional sound, probably a reason why the pills kicked in a bit better. It wasn’t an easy task to find all my old favorites, mainly because I only knew a few of the track titles and could only remember the melodies of most of them. So I definitely poured a lot of time and passion into this mix. A few times while I was recording I got serious goosebumps, it felt like I was time traveling. I’m really happy that I finally managed to finish it, I hope you enjoy it!

This journey has a special flow and energy and is decently mixing different genres by finding connections. It reflects a train ride while looking out of a window, seeing trees passing by and experience the single sounds communicate with each other. The mixing (vinyl only) could have been better, sorry for this! Hope you like it nevertheless!

This mix is  mostly made up of slow, organic, deep, melodic and transcendent sounds that I’ve been collecting for a very long time now. For me, it reflects an intimate and personal journey through those sounds, which I can finally share. This set is about slowing down. It’s about discovering one’s deep self and just being present in the now.

On a cold and hazy winter night, walking along a dark deserted street, I was overcome by an uncomfortable yet strangely familiar feeling - paralysed by a sense of anxious foreboding, I suddenly was blinded by a brilliant light above and against my own comprehensive faculty was stretched into the sky, the accelerating velocity ejecting my body and mind out of Earth’s stratosphere. Subsequently, I was tossed far into the depth of our solar system - its vast space, distant planets and rocky asteroid belts - and down into the abyss of my subconscious mind.

This mix was recorded at Institut für Zukunft in Leipzig, where we played a four hour opening set. We made some small edits and added some tracks to finalise the mix. There is a magic about playing opening sets, and this night was special in particular — the lights got turned off and we played our first ambient track as a tuft of smoke was blown into club, which remained midair in the middle of the dance floor, like a sculpture — and it slowly vanished. The first guest came in and sat down against the concrete column, listening attentively as more smoke-sculptures formed around him. We were happy to play the first 20 minutes just for him.

This mix has been made with a “collage” type of work in mind, using small bits from a lot of different tracks to make an entirely new one. This is already something I have been experimenting with when I DJ but I wanted to take things a bit further with a more precise and surgical approach which a studio mix allows for. To achieve that, I've reworked and edited 99% of the songs I used, it took ages but was a very interesting and rewarding process that basically enabled me to make whole new edits of my all time favorite tracks.
