VC-118A @ Onyro — 05/10/2024 (Live Performance · “Shinki-Itten” Concept)

A deep sonic journey by VC-118A, recorded live at Onyro on October 5th, 2024, inspired by the Japanese concept shinki-itten , the return to the original spirit, the dissolution of the self into the collective pulse.
This performance moves fluidly through electro’s precision, the spacious depths of dub, and delicate IDM textures, revealing a sound both cerebral and profoundly emotive. 
An introspective yet physical experience that mirrors the timeless atmosphere of his latest release on Delsin Records “Avian”

VC-118A @ Onyro Shinki-Itten

Madrid's Jan Swam joins our series with a potent delivery of centrifugal, sub-heavy psychedelia. At the helm of the Organic Signs label and its annual Refractor Festival, Jan Swam is a guiding force in the realm of modern sonic exploration, in constant pursuit of new avenues for mental metamorphosis through his boundary-pushing platforms and his own exquisite productions.  We finally connected at last year's Positive Education festival, bonding over our appreciation for expansive dance floor experiences and a shared love of certain records nearly lost to time. It's a pleasure to share this mix in which every turn is carefully considered, where rhythms contort beneath the surface and the mind’s textures become obscured within smoke. Thanks Alejandro!

This set was recorded at Mostra Festival in April – a beautiful four-day experimental music festival in the heart of Barcelona, and my first Europe show of the year! I had the opportunity to bridge the gap between Ena’s incredible live ambient set and Timnah & Mario (Hybrid)’s deep techno set.

I themed my set around spiralling synths, beginning the journey with broken beats and moving through half-time into 170 BPM, while maintaining a sense of hypnotic groove throughout. 

The crowd and energy in the room were magnetic – they were with me every step of the way. It was such a beautiful experience and definitely a highlight of my year. Huge thanks to the amazing team at Mostra!! :)

Hello :) I’m Zara and I’m originally from so-called Australia, but I’ve been living in London since April.

I’m finishing up my last EU/UK gigs for the year this week, and then I’m sooo excited to head to Japan and Korea for a mini tour – still pinching myself that I get to play there!

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨/𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨?
I’ve been DJing for about seven years and producing for around five.

XLB by Pearson Sound completely rewired my brain and pulled me into the subterranean world.

They Feel, They Know by SHIVARASA.
I first heard it during a yoga class while I was recovering from a back injury that made daily life difficult and it really stayed with me. It reminded me of the value of stillness and the beauty of inner peace - especially as the weather turns colder and the state of the world feels increasingly bleak.

So many… but festivals like Waking Life, Monument, Parallel, and Organik really inspire me for their beautiful locations and community-focused approach. For clubs, I’ve always dreamed of playing at Bassiani, Club Raum, Ankali, and Oil.

𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘱?
Again, so many!! I have so many artists I admire, so let’s say the dream lineup would be a festival in nature taking place over a couple of days :D

Donato Dozzy, Mama Snake, Timnah, OK Williams, Objekt, Woody92, Sybil, A Strange Wedding (live), Ema, Hysterical Love Project (live), Livwutang, James K (live), Konduku, Polygonia (live), Marco Shuttle b2b Jane Fitz, CCL, Djrum, Temple Rat (live), Upsammy, Harold, Tangerine, Kia and garçon - the list could go on haha, too many to name!

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘑𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴?
The dance floor is your greatest teacher, community your strongest ally, and fear of failure your greatest enemy.

If you’re able to, get out, dance, and soak in as much diverse music as you can. I’ve learned so much from watching how people respond to certain moments and from the energy of the room itself. I take inspiration from different elements within tracks and from how I feel and move when I hear certain sounds.

Being in clubs or music spaces also helps cultivate a sense of community. By genuinely supporting artists, collectives, and venues, we can help the underground not just survive but thrive. And most importantly, the dance floor is the best place to meet like-minded people – some of my closest friends are those I met through a shared love of music <3

Loek Frey is a producer, DJ and live artist from the Netherlands whose work defies easy categorization. Blurring the lines between techno, experimental, IDM, and ambient, he crafts a sound that is at the very forefront of avant-garde electronics. His exceptional releases on Omen Wapta & his own OQAD perfectly demonstrate his mind-bending expertise and finesse in the studio. Whether through his DJ sets or live performances, Loek is renowned for dismantling the minds of the dancefloor, having brought his electronic alchemy to the controls of legendary parties like Ratherlost, Berghain's Saule, De School, pe:rsona, Refractor and many more.

For MNMT 494 Loek Frey pilots a descent into uncharted sonic territories: a transmission from a haunted and murky alien world, unfolding as a piece of cinematic sound design for a forgotten sci-fi landscape. Hi-tech fragments, ghostly echoes and unconventional grooves weave through the dense atmosphere creating an ominous yet deeply alluring hypnotic pull. A complex deep space trip of sophisticated sound design and psychoactive exploration.

We’re excited to spotlight IO family member Tenzia with a new entry in our Log-Series.
To accompany the release of his upcoming eight-track album Tumble, he delivers a mix that reflects the album’s core themes: embracing disorientation, turning every stumble into momentum, and channeling it all into raw dancefloor energy.

In this logbook entry, Tenzia showcases his own sonic vision alongside tracks produced by other IO artists. The mix reflects his characteristic balance of fluid arrangements and steady, propulsive groove, rooted in the club-forward identity of our collective.

This Log-Series edition offers a deeper glimpse into the world of Tumble and the creative dialogue within the IO family.
