@loekfrey is a name that now sits up there with some of the most exciting talents to have emerged from the Dutch scene in recent times. It's his unique blend of IDM, techno, breakbeat and drum & bass that has turned so many heads, not least with his Decipher album on home label Omen Wapta which was a widescreen soundscape of varying intensities and tempos. His ability to veer from the intricate and experimental to the hallucinatory and vibrant is second to none as he proves with his mix for us this week. 

It is a special one that is fully live and made up entirely of his own productions so makes for a perfect window into his world. Inside you will find 60 atmospheric minutes that soon immerse you in cinematic cosmic ambiance and hurried minimal rhythms embellished with ghoulish voices and dark undertones that unite both body and mind. It's a sleek and linear journey defined by the constant presence of a supple and pulsing bassline that transports you to distant future worlds in style.

Dekmantel Podcast 448 - Loek Frey

Operating at the frontiers of electronic music, Spekki Webu stands apart as a true architect of his own sonic universe. The visionary behind the Mirror Zone label and a highly prolific producer, his work - including an excellent debut album last year - is a testament to a relentless pursuit of the new, sculpting a sound that is both boundary pushing and universally mind-altering.

Offering some insight into the deeply personal and experimental nature of this deep trip, the Dutch maestro explains:

“This mix is mainly music by myself, upcoming music on the label and some unreleased tunes by friends. I have been exploring lots of different tempo's the last few months and also been reprocessing a lot of field recordings which have been layered a lot in this mix. You can almost say that this is a hybrid mix where I am live layering field recordings and processing them in real time. But the main focus is of course the DJ part. Slowly unfolding and blending from chapter to chapter, I don't engage my mixes as mixes anymore, more like this feeling of reading a few pages from my personal book.

Minimalistic movements drowned in wider atmospheric arrangements within this story. A lot of this music in this mix has been made in the last months and dives into introspective moments. Blurring textures which have felt like clouded moments in my consciousness, like living in some sort of dream and moving on to the next stage. Preparing for changes. Waiting for new movements.”

GEKIGA PODCAST EP. 24 – PYRAMIDAL DECODE

Welcome to the 24th episode of the GKG Podcast.

Today’s set comes to us from Italian-born DJ/producer Francesco De Marzo, known globally as Pyramidal Decode. An emerging force in electronic music, Pyramidal Decode represents a new vision of techno that defies traditional templates and predictable sonic narratives. Through his blending of dark ambient atmospheres, violent percussive rhythms, and hypnotic repetition, he has created an immersive and physically charged sound that is both meditative and confrontational.

Over the last decade, Pyramidal Decode has stamped his influence on the international circuit, with releases on Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, Bas Mooy’s MORD, and Oscar Mulero’s Warm Up Recordings — labels synonymous with clinical discipline, uncompromising grit, and sonic adventurism.

In 2024, he founded PHYR Records — a vinyl-focused imprint dedicated to physical releases, avant-garde design, and his singular artistic vision. The label’s debut VA compilation immediately set the tone, featuring a lineup of elite sonic mercenaries such as Irazu, Unkle Fon, Oliver Rosemann, and the one and only PWCCA.

A defining moment in Francesco’s career came through his collaboration with Oscar Mulero on the double vinyl IL POEMA. Released on PHYR Records and inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, the project stands as a dense, introspective body of work — a cross-generational dialogue built on atmosphere and force.

Beyond the studio, Pyramidal Decode is known for electrically charged live sets that teeter between hypnosis and aggression with surgical control. His performances reflect the same philosophy that drives his productions and label: intention, structure, and immersion.

One love,
BESHT1 & PYRAMIDAL DECODE
