With what was mostly a full and fruitful year for us with many beautiful moments, we now turn our eyes forward to what is looking to be a very exciting year for us at Phonica as we walk into our 20th year of being alive. 2022 saw our mix series get even more killer contributions from artists like Paramida, Sally C, Fred P, Eden Burns, Alex Kassian, Erol Alkan and more. 2023's series line up plans to keep moving up and we have opened this years mix season in the capable hands of two of the finest DJ/Producers doing it right now. Bringing nothing but powerful, euphoric and goddess energies it can only be Octo Octa and Eris Drew of T4T Luv NRG. Amazingly celebrated for their strand of psychedelic, rolling progressive, trancey-house and break rhythms we can't think of two better selector's to take on our series. With an excellently curated compilation and mix for our good friends at Fabric last year as well as two banging cassettes on T4T we can't begin to imagine what this year has in-store for Maya and Eris but we have no doubt it's even more on the upward trajectory! Most likely to the heavens and back! We had a chat with Maya and Eris to see what they have been up to lately and little about how they approached the mix.

Noster Set

We present the closing set from Sansibar at our last event in January. Hailing from the cosmic realm, Sansibar manipulates rhythms and frequencies to turn intergalactic cosmic rays into a sonic voyage from above to below. As a nonpareil cosmic producer and resident DJ at Kaiku and Post Bar, Sansibar's genre-unbound sound credentials have solidified his position as one of Europe's most intriguing talents.

His sonic landscape traverses a myriad of textures and rhythms, seamlessly blending electro, techno, house, jungle, new beat, and more. From floor-focused beats to downtempo soundscapes, Sansibar's music is an unpigeonholeable multiverse of sonic exploration, bound to immerse you in layers of daze and euphoria.

With intricate, transcendental hardware gems, Sansibar's music harnesses hi-impact programming and psychoactive flights, inviting listeners on a journey through expansive soundscapes and oblique riff fractals.

Hailing from Hannover, Luise is a standout DJ and electronic music producer deeply influenced by House. From an early age, her exposure to the genre forged a strong connection. Her distinctive sound, amplified by her passion for vinyl, resonates with the heart of the dancer and the core rhythm of the groove. Last year was her debut vinyl release on "I'M IN LOVE RECORDS" and 2 months later her second release on Skylax Records, showcasing her unique ability to encapsulate emotions in her electronic compositions.

This set reflects her current sound, which she likes to play in clubs, a blend of new progressive house and minimal house releases.
all on vinyl, of course.

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.

Ute Mix Series #100 | Ekkel

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.
