Omformer is the collaborative project from Ute cornerstones Mikkel Rev and Oprofessionell. Being a project mostly focusing on the live act, they still have managed to build an impressive catalogue covering everything from one-hour long ambient tracks to loopy psychedelic peak time weapons.

And for their long overdue debut EP you can expect no less, presenting four summer ready trance excursions extracted straight from previous live sets and jam sessions.

Dive into their most maximalist, drama inducing and dancefloor-shattering project to date. Get lost in endlessly looping arpeggios, mind bending squelching resonances and big melodies best consumed under the forest canopy.

Mikkel Rev - Whorl [UTE013]

Next up in our mix series is Zitto & Zurkin, two central figures and cornerstones in the Tbilisi-scene. Zitto is a resident at Bassiani, and is turning into one of the most intriguing figures for the local clubbing sphere, with his level of selection and world building. Zurkin is another central figure of the Tbilisi community, being the co-founder of Vodkast Records, both an imprint and Tbilisi vinyl oasis for fervid record lovers.

In this episode we are presenting a marathon live recording of their closing set from Bassiani, January 27th. Dive into this 9,5 hour ride, where they navigate between trance and psychedelic techno from the past three decades. Steering seamlessly through rolling chuggers, trippy euphoria and wormhole trance, Zitto and Zurkin are a truly fruitful symbiosis.

Oprofessionell - Chemical Attraction [UTE014]

Next up in our mix-series is our good friend from Georgia, Kvanchi. Kvanchi is a central figure in Tbilisi's scene, being a resident and a core member at Bassiani. As a regular in Horoom, the club's upstairs, he has earned a reputation as one of the city's finest selectors. His deep connection to the local scene is evident not just in his sets, but also through his work as the label manager for Bassiani Records, where he champions both local and international talent.

For this mix Kvanchi takes us on the trippier and trancier sides of his collection, mixing old school stripped down goa records and minimal groove lockers. Kvanchi infuses the mix with a distinct blend of precision and world building - embodying the essence of his artistry, offering a glimpse into the groovy and rolling realms of trance music.

Next in our mix series is our co-founder, Ekkel. From the studio, he delivers a fresh, modern take on ’90s Nordic electronic music—both mind-bending and progressive—diving headfirst into breaks and intricate percussive trips, whether as Ekkel or Alvar. Teo is deeply woven into the Ute-hemisphere, contributing to various musical constellations. With Solar Alliance (with Oprofessionell & Mikkel Rev), he crafts expansive live trance journeys, recorded and arranged in just days. As Ipeo (with Oprofessionell), he fuses ‘90s influences with contemporary twists to create mesmerizing soundscapes. Meanwhile, Accelerationism (with Marius Bø) are renowned for their marathon sets, regularly playing for hours on end. Teo has released several records on the Seoul-based record label, Junction Forest, that showcases his signature blend of groovy, deep and tech infused trance, further cementing his influence in the scene.

For the 100th anniversary episode Teo has put together a three hour odyssey with strictly his own unreleased material. This mix is a collaboration of sorts as Ekkel requested Marius Bø, the curator of the series, to go through his unreleased folders, select the tracks and order, before Ekkel would mix it all together. A journey from dark to light highlighting both the mental groove based parts of his output, to the more sensitive and dramatic.

Mikkel Rev - Out Of Focus (Focused Mix) [UTECD004.1]

Next up in our mix series is Innersha, hailing from Yerevan, Armenia. As an initiator in the local raving scene and a co-founder of the dk.tsk collective, her artistic development has been significantly shaped by the communal music experience. Innersha is a relatively new face to the scene, with her debut EP just last October, on Polygonias label ‘QEONE’. In the short time she has already carved her sound, and with upcoming performances at the iconic Macadam and pe:rsona festival this summer. Innersha also contributed with a track on the freshly released '8 Years of Ute' CD, which dropped this week.

For this episode, Innersha shares a live recording from her set at the Omen Wapta Weekender at Garage Noord in Amsterdam in April. The mix is a raw, heads-down excursion into hypnotic territory, full of shifting patterns, deep pulses, and high pace. Capturing the energy of a packed room in motion, the set balances intensity with restraint, showcasing Innersha’s ability to hold tension and guide a narrative across the arc of a live performance.

Next up in our mix series is Shoal, a Dutch producer and DJ who recently relocated to Prague. Known for his hypnotic, emotionally layered sound, Shoal crafts deep, transportive journeys through trippy textures, modular synthesizers, and rolling rhythms. A core member of the ISOTOOP collective, he’s performed at leading underground spots like De School, Tresor, and Ratherlost. His releases on labels like Tikita, Harmony Recordings, Monument, our own Ute.Rec, and most recently Animalia, continue to expand and refine his unique sonic voice within the scene.

In this mix, Shoal delivers a 1.5-hour live set full of acid-dripping techno, spacey atmospheres, and heads-down minimalism. It’s a slow-burning, carefully building mix that captures the raw live sounds and subtle depth that define his sound. A live-set working just as much the mind as the body.

@shoall

Ute Mix Series #105 | Shoal (live)

Next up in our mix series is our good friend Kasper Marott - a DJ, producer, promoter and label head based in Copenhagen. Kasper is one of the heads behind the record label and event series Axces, as well as the beloved Copenhagen party series Haldisk and Essence, and the iconic Kune Festival. Since his debut in 2014, Kasper has shown his skill to produce ecstatic yet reflective tracks with a clear voice over and over. With his highly refined taste across genres he has also proven to be a unique talent as a DJ – his ear for the percussive elements of music is of a rare kind and his DJ sets sliding easily between moods, tempos and styles.

In this mix, Kasper taps into his techno-infused realms with a 3+ hour journey of uplifting euphoria at its finest. Rolling psychedelia meets ecstatic dubby delights, delivered with the unmistakable touch only Kasper can bring. He expertly masters taking the listeners through highs and lows seamlessly, in a fluid dance between tension and release, as a sonic exploration that balances chaos and control, bliss and introspection.

Next up in our mix series is Atsushi Maeda - a cornerstone of Japan’s underground scene and one of the minds behind ‘rural festival’ and ‘428.soundwave’ in Thailand. With over a decade of dedication to deep, immersive techno, Atsushi has shaped not only dancefloors but the cultural landscape surrounding them, both in Tokyo and across the globe. Whether in Tokyo’s intimate clubs or on international stages, his sets are marked by precision, patience, and a mind-expanding musical narrative.

This mix is a live recording from rural 2025, capturing Atsushi in his right element: outdoors, surrounded by nature, guiding a devoted crowd into uncharted sonic terrain. Nestled between Erika and Oscar Mulero, starting at midnight, Atsushi weaved a dense and precise tapestry of hypnotic peak time techno. Focused yet expansive, it’s a set that embodies the Rural spirit.

Next up in our mix series is 98dots, a Tbilisi-born, Brooklyn-based DJ and promoter. Nikoloz is a familiar face on both sides of the Atlantic, both as a vital force in New York’s scene, known for his dynamic presence both behind the decks and in his work as a promoter, and in his native Georgia, as a regular at Bassiani and Mutant Radio. Through each set, he explores the mystical side of rapture, seeking transcendence in the communion of the dancefloor and weaving together fragments of past and future into a single timeless moment.

In this mix, 98dots brings a cosmic and deep selection, anchored by warm basslines, lush low-end grooves and spiraling acid. A mix that twists and expands with hypnotic force. As the autumn season creeps in, this blend becomes a perfect backdrop, whether to reminisce a dancefloor glowing in the ealy  morning hours or to soundtrack introspective nights at home on your home stereo.

Next up in our mix series is Human Space Machine. Hailing from Amsterdam, the dutchman has found his way into electronic music by channeling movement into rhythmical cadences, crafting a sound that exists at the intersection of techno, house, and experimental electronic music. His productions are often trippy yet inviting, and released on respected labels like Nous’klaer Audio and De Lichting, the latter which he co-founded. 

In this mix Mike takes us on a 1,5 hour voyage through moisty atmospheres. Slick underwater grooves meets slimey deep cave techno, in a masterclass of mysterious and murky world-building and slow tension manipulation. Momentum gradually rising, via twisted acid and waterlogged minimalism.

Next up in our mix series is Temple Rat - a Berlin based sound designer, Erhu player, and DJ originally from Sichuan. Blending traditional folk instruments with experimental electronic production, she incorporates self-built sound tools, field recordings, and deep, driving rhythms to craft her signature sound. With releases on labels such as Siamese Twins Records, Qilla Records, and FuFu Records, her discography reflects a rich spectrum of influences and sonic explorations. Beyond her solo work, Temple Rat co-runs the collectives Er Ting Ba Fang (耳聽八方) and Jia La, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration through music.

This mix is a one-hour live set of unreleased and forthcoming productions, recorded at RSO Berlin in September via Deestricted. Metallic and mineral soundscapes collide with fluid, watery tones, drenched in acid grooves and propelled by laser-sharp samples and percussion. A journey for deep listening, where textures shimmer and drones align for true hypnotism.

Next up in our mix series is Lola Haro - an Antwerp-born, Brussels-based DJ celebrated for her warm, immersive, and thoughtfully crafted selections. Founder of the label and event series Small Steps and resident at Kiosk Radio, she has become a prominent force in Belgium’s electronic music landscape. Her sets have resonated across belgium festivals like Horst, La Nature, Klub Dramatik, and Doel, as well as international institutions including Panorama Bar, Tresor, and FOLD.

In the mix Lola brings a selection as warm and delightful as it is chuggy and heady. Floating between lush basslines and hazy dub washes, it’s a journey suited equally to frosty forest walks or a cozy home stereo session. The gentle and careful pacing invites you to sink deeper into its mystical atmosphere, and by the end, you feel both grounded and gently lifted.

Next in our series is Okouru. Paris-born, Berlin-based, and deeply embedded in the underground. Known for his versatile sound palette, Okouru draws from decades of electronic music history, with a particular love for psychedelic trance and techno from the ‘90s and ‘00s. His journey includes a Fabric London debut in 2022, followed by Berghain/Saüle in 2023, and a recent set at Macadam in Nantes.

In this mix Okouru has brought a lovely selection from the turn of the decade, intertwined with contemporary cuts. Slimey textures and acid laced rolling basslines, connecting the dots between the decades.
