Alpha Tracks - Rainbow Worm [UTE010]

Alpha Tracks - Sour Streamers [UTE010]

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.

Next up in our mix series is our very good friend and collaborator from Copenhagen, @mamasnake - co-founder of the notorious Amniote Editions. In this mix they're showing their peerless and sublime palette, full of sleek techno, slithering psychdelia and full blooded grooves. Thrilling and primal soundscapes transffering into a kinetic energy bomb. Get ready for this 72 minutes seamless journey of soaring vitality.

Here are some important words from Mama Snake, to reflect on, when listening to this mix:
"Hi world,
As you are listening to this, the people in Gaza are listening to the sound of genocide as the terror state of Israel carpet bombs hospitals, mosques, schools, refugee camps and other clear cut civilian targets while the elected leaders of the western world watch in silence.

Let it be known that in November 2023 when this mix came out more than 11.000 Palestinians including more than 4500 children were slaughtered by the fascist Israeli regime in the live streamed attacks on Gaza. At this point in time, it’s been more than a month of full-scale intentional genocide and documented war crimes and the western world has yet to condemn it and take action to push for ceasefire and negotiations to end the cycle of bloodshed due to the decade long violent occupation of Palestine.

To everyone following and listening to this, please speak up, read about and share what is happening, write your government representatives, attend protests, make noise and choose humanity and call for an end to this. Ceasefire is only the beginning; the violent occupation and apartheid must end. Enough is enough.

This mix is intended as some sort of despair release - at least this is what that sounded like on the day of recording for me. It’s giving “angry, but hopeful”. Use it to fuel the outrage you should be feeling and channel that into action.

No one is free until we are all free. Viva Falastin."

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.

Next up in our mix series is David Fogarty, the mind behind one of our favorite record labels; Transmigration. Born in Ireland, based in Berlin, David follows taste over hype along with careful art direction he’s been responsible for unearthing and reissuing some of the best psychedelic electronic music from the past three decades. David’s reach extends beyond Transmigration with Sacred Stones; a vinyl-only label for his own hand-stamped DJ edits, Crystal Ceremony; a platform dedicated to spotlighting emerging global talent, and Sound Migration; a joint venture with the iconic Sound Metaphors.

In this mix, David showcases his ability to blend nostalgia with futurism - mixing old-school pscyehdelia with contemporary functionalism - crafting a journey that’s as trippy as it is cohesive, filled with dynamic shifts in momentum, tension, and release.

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 up in our mix series is Bambi, hailing from Paris and resident at the French underground institution Macadam, on Rinse France waves, and at Berlin’s Hypersoft party series and our good friends from Paris, Hors-Sol. Bambi has made a name for herself in France and abroad thanks to her nuanced, cosmic sets fuelled with trance, dub and deep techno influences. Beyond the decks, she also promotes safer party spaces within the French initiative Reinvent The Night, and contributes to French reflexive laboratory Au-delà du club (Beyond the Club) through their collaborative zine Flashes: words and images to reinvent the night.

For this mix, Bambi takes us on a proper trip, skillfully building tension and seamlessly rising in vitality. Starting through ambient vibrations, gradually introducing layers of rhythm and escalating intensity. Building and weaving a tapestry of flowing sounds, airy textures and elegant oomphs - ending in summery euphoria. Warm and delicate, as a night under the open sky.

Next up in our mixseries is Sindh, previously known as 9beats. Sindh is a project born in 2021, with a hardware heavy sound, merging modular frequencies and tribal percussions creating his very own signature sound. His Komudo series, along with releases on respected labels like IDO, Lowless, and A-Biotic, has helped carve out a distinctive sonic identity—one that nods to the shifting tides of the millennium while staying fresh and forward-thinking. His signature sound has found a home in clubs like Garage Noord and Macadam, as well as festivals like Monument, Above Below, and Ouroboros.

In this mix Sindh takes us on an all-vinyl trip, digging deep into his crates, weaving together a vinyl journey that tunnels through both old-school and futuristic sounds. Acid-laced techno, rolling trance, and hypnotic pulses twist and turn, blurring the lines between past and present. One hour for deep listeners and adventurous dancers alike.

Next up in our mix series is fleika - hailing from Prague. fleika grew up during the heyday of Prague’s rave culture, coming of age as a DJ in booths built for a single night only. The Czech techno renaissance formed him, then the newly-born club culture embraced him as one of its main protagonists. The Ankali resident digs anything that kicks, melts or makes one’s mind trip, but mainly thrives on diving into the vast depths of hypnotic and psychedelic techno – as deep as it gets.

This mix is a recording from fleika’s closing set from his ‘Archiv Technologi’ night at Ankali after DJ Nobu, a couple of weeks ago. With a steady hand, he guides the night to a beautiful end, drifting through airy textures and weightless atmospheres. As dawn approaches and the first light seeps in, his soundscape gently carries dancers back to reality—sofly touching down at planet earth again.

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.

Next up in our mix series is Joseph Tagliabue, an Italian sound engineer, electronic musician and DJ based in Milan. Introducing deep listening and ecstatic abandonment during dances at parties in the rural areas of the countryside, Joseph started djing when he was very young. Over time, he rose to prominence, becoming a landmark first in Milan’s city and then in European techno circles, skillfully navigating in the underground events. In 2018 Joseph made his debut as a producer capturing the ears and hearts of DJs and dancers thanks to his hypnotic and ritualistic sound. He gained immediate support from renowned artists in the scene, including Jane Fitz, Vladimir Ivkovic and Alexis Le-Tan, just to name a few.

In this mix, Joseph seamlessly weaves contemporary techno with psychedelic old-school trance, executed with a masterful touch. Whether it's deep introspective techno, or warm high-spirited trance, Joseph blends it with unique character. Zone out and tone in, to this 84 minutes voyage, perfectly suited for a sunlit spring afternoon.

Next up in our mix series is 3AM, hailing from Tbilisi, Georgia. As a co-founder of the FLINTA* party series and Transforma taking place at Bassiani, 3AM plays a vital role in shaping the local landscape. Ana is also a passionate advocate for gender equality, consistently working to amplify the presence and representation of female artists in electronic music.


In this mix, Ana takes us on a seamless ride, gliding from track to track in a hypnotic, flawless manner that pulls you deep into her sonic universe. She lets each track breathe while crafting lush, blended soundscapes - building tension and release, always keeping the suspense. She moves with fluid precision, each track flowing into the next building the energy block by block. She allows space for every sound to unfold, weaving textures that rise and fall in perfect balance.

Next up in our mix series is Wave Arising aka 69db aka Sebastian Vaughan, a pioneering live electronic artist and longtime member of legendary collectives spanning all the way back to the 90s, such as Spiral Tribe, SP23, R-Zac, Stormcore and Network 23 Recordings. Alongside dancer Kynsie, he fuses weightless techno with spiritual and ritualistic elements for the Wave Arising project, creating a new frequency of rave culture through sound and movement. With roots in dub, hip house, acid house, and Detroit techno - and as a co-creator of the hard-Tek/tribe genre—his drummer's foundation keeps his music deeply rhythm-driven, as heard in last year’s release ‘The Rooted Sky’.

In this mix, Sebastian delivers a 90-minute live set that showcases his signature improvisational approach. He experiments with shifting rhythms and layered textures, steadily evolving the energy with a sense of patience and intent. It is as hypnotic as it is groovy - shifting from minimal, polyrhythmic pulses to fuller, weightless grooves.

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.
