Mixes on repeat this week: September 7, 2026
Lacchesi
Lacchesi likes tension almost as much as release. His sets collide minimal grooves, jittery melodies, trance and experimental sounds at high speed, building and releasing pressure in what he describes as a rollercoaster-like approach to DJing. There's playfulness underneath all the intensity, which keeps the chaos from becoming one-dimensional.
Intake ParisMari Sakurai
Techno is the backbone of Mari Sakurai's sound, but she keeps it unpredictable, working experimental elements into sets that can shift with the dancefloor rather than following one rigid lane.
Vault Sessions 316Justine Perry
Four hours of techno built with patience. Justine Perry recorded this at RSO and deliberately begins restrained before progressively rebuilding the energy as the party moves indoors. The result reflects what she does best: techno where tension, subtle shifts and gradual evolution matter more than chasing one peak after another.
GROOVE Podcast 516Alberto Tolo
Alberto Tolo works through repetition: loopy, hypnotic techno driven by dark percussion, layered rhythms and a distinctly tribal pulse. Recorded at Loone during Demolate Records' five-year showcase, it's the kind of approach that gets more effective the longer you stay inside it.
Live at Loone BerlinVilchezz
Nearly two hours of Vilchezz at UNFOLD, moving through Feral, Perfo, Amotik, Rill and others in the deeper, hypnotic corner of contemporary techno. That fits Vilchezz's own production language: intricate percussion, dark atmospheres and groove that keeps pulling forward without needing to overwhelm you.
