To keep the Bonanza cauldron bubbling, we are thrilled to drop the full 3 hours of XDB's glorious Sunday morning slot from Bonanza back in March. 

Anyone who has heard XDB knows that these after-hours moments are where he shines brightest, and this is on full display for Rio 005, as he weaves his way effortlessly through the deepest of deep house, ambient techno, electro, acid and tech house. The music XDB plays is always hard to put your finger on, but is consistently interwoven with a certain intangible feeling and emotion. For many this was an absolute highlight of the festival, so we couldn't be happier to share this with you as the 5th instalment of our mix series.

Garden Talks 06 - Amalgama

In the past few months, we’ve found ourselves returning to a remarkable corner of the Spanish midlands, where music thrives in a unique and unpredictable way. Perpendicular Festival has become the place where artists embrace spontaneity, crafting moments that feel truly alive.

This time, we’re focusing on o.utlier, an Irishman based in London whose debut album Alaya on Appian Sounds left an unforgettable mark last year. A co-founder of Titrate Records and a resident DJ for Astral Industries, o.utlier has mastered the art of balancing a diverse range of sounds, from drone to intricate polyrhythmic techno. If you’re familiar with his work, you already have a sense of the musical journey he can take you on.

It was a bright Saturday afternoon when he took the stage, easing the crowd into the day with laid-back broken beats and serene atmospheres. There was an unspoken magic as the music slowly drew everyone in, almost imperceptibly. Beneath a canopy of shade, the crowd swayed, their movements guided by his subtle changes in tempo and tone. Before long, the energy began to build, smooth, natural, and unforced, until the atmosphere shifted into something more adventurous.
Suddenly, the set took a turn, diving into murkier territory. Darker tones emerged, with dub influences and intricate rhythms that seemed to challenge both body and mind. Over the course of nearly two and a half hours, o.utlier created a magnetic experience that felt both cerebral and visceral—a true journey through the unexpected.

This performance was a special one; it was a shared moment at a gathering of kindred spirits. Do you really need another reason to hit play? We think not.

Do we still need to introduce Ralph Maruani, known as Flabaire, co-founder of the Parisian label D.KO Records, bassist with the Secret Value Orchestra, soloist in his psych-rock project Aboukir and producer who has forged a melodic and cosmic universe all his own?
At the age of 30, with three albums already released and a number of EPs, appearances and remixes to his name, Flabaire is recognised by legendary artists such as Move D and Point G/DJ Gregory, as well as many of his more accomplished peers.
So it's with great joy and anticipation that we welcomed him for a set of finely channelled deep and dubby house.

Kicking off 2025 for the 14th mix in our MINIMALISM series we introduce Tur vinyl boss, Poly. She has kindly provided us with 2.5 hours from her set at Signal Festival in Russia last year.

Poly has been on our radar for a while now which we feel is an artist that deeply represents our sound. Based in Saint-Petersburg, Poly is a resident for Moscow based Haze and Mizar, playing regularly at the clubs there. She has shared line ups with artists such as Cezar, Dubtil, Cally and Andrei Ciubuc.

Known for her dark and hypnotic selections, which rolls so smoothly throughout. We’ll let the music do the talking on this one 😊
