Our latest mix welcomes TOMO, the Florence-based producer, DJ, and co-founder of the DE RIO label and event series. Agile, softly eroding soundscapes drift alongside prismatic textures unfolding upon themselves, a compelling showcase of the precise, laser-cut sound associated with the artist and a glimpse at the label's unreleased material, a collective fervor for the long-armed reach into the amplified unknown. @tomo_sound @derioflorence Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

London-based and Rinse FM resident Alicia joins the series and offers us a glimpse into the vibrant ecologies of Terra Obscura, the experimental club night she runs alongside fellow series favorite Avsluta. A rare live recording from the multitalented musician, Alicia's set captures a dynamic and thoughtful soul at play, mapping cleverly between moments of shimmering suspension and blanketing bassweight, accumulating pressure with deliberate, veteran intensity. Solid ground, in the spirit of the captured evening, from which to leap into the night beyond. @aliciasteanson Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

Recorded live at Above Below 2024, Chiltern Hills, UK. Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of finally visiting Above Below, a magically warm and inspiring festival tucked intimately within the Chilterns which I had heard so much about over years. What I discovered there was a community that immediately felt like home, a weekend full of moments both immaculately deep & breathlessly exuberant, and a true sense of independence and discovery in the spirit of the festival. Playing in the UK will always be a special honor for me, and I wanted to capture my appreciation for such a pivotal scene while pushing myself in ways that are distinctly my own. This set helped me find more than a few footholds in my own practice and I’m so happy to share the recording, one from a lineup full of friends & inspirations. Hope you enjoy it! @arn_j @abovebelowfestival Artwork by Malte Schumann.

Alkaanet's Kaisei joins our series with an extended and immersive set, capturing the multifaceted producer's dedication to mind-bending atmospherics while rooted in the deepest shades of contemporary techno, a kaleidoscopic and beautifully paced delight from start to finish. Thanks Kaisei! @kaiseikitada Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

Gadi’s gi presents a tapestry of uncontained sound and a truly enchanting contribution to our series. A braided chorus of otherworldly artifacts and the swell of a straining tide form a vessel for the radical disassembly and reimagination of our present reality. Thanks to gi for entrusting us with the core of their singular world. @gistrung Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

Our latest episode welcomes a massive link-up from two French producers currently making waves of seismic proportions, Beatrice M. & Trois-Quarts Taxi System. An hour of ground-shattering bassweight and ear-catching percussive flurries, including plenty of unreleased material from Beatrice's Bait label, captures the pair in their primal element and demonstrates exactly why these two names are seemly on everyone's minds at the moment. Their captivating and technical approach to low-end driven psychedelia puts them each in a category of their own, and together they're a force beyond reckoning. Thanks Eloi and Beatrice! @beatricemasters @troisquartstaxisystem Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

Welcoming Nak to the series, whose repertoire of mixes and recordings makes a strong case for the Naarm-based DJ as a truly standout selector of the moment in any locale. Showcasing her ability to weave tracks—each stunning in their own right —into something truly celestial, Nak's set is boldly psychedelic, a constellation of rhythms that stretch and simmer, held together by a gravitational warmth and felt in every inch of the body. Thank you Isabel! @isabel-nak Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

Staccato, evaporating textures and rippling tendrils course through this set from Seoul-based K.O.P. 32, comprised entirely of unreleased productions and live improvisations from the Beyond the Bridge label head. Channeling the producer's tremendous body of released work and offering rare insight into his ever-evolving practice of subconscious exploration, this one commands an undivided attention and rewards in equal measure as it meticulously picks apart the layers of the mind. @pyramidofknowledge Artwork by Mei Oele - Boser Tritt.

It's such a privilege to welcome one of my favorite producers to the series, Amsterdam's Human Space Machine, whose brilliant productions are a constant source of inspiration and a presence in so many of my favorite dancefloor memories. The De Lichting affiliate shares an hour of pure magnetism, surging beyond the clouds and rendering a steady build of atmospheric pressure. A stunning cartography of storm and thunder. Thanks Mike! @humanspacemachine Artwork by Sofia Lambrou.
