Síoda Rua is a Berlin-based DJ originally from Ireland. She has enjoyed a lifelong connection to music, rooted in years of playing classical and Irish traditional instruments, which eventually led her into the electronic scene. Prior to settling in Berlin, she spent nearly a decade immersed in the Parisian scene, followed by a year touring across Mexico — chapters that helped refine her sound and broaden her artistic perspective. Regarding the mix Síoda offered some thoughts : ' This two hour vinyl mix is a showcase of the sound I feel most connected to right now. I wanted to build a journey into those hypnotic spaces, the kind of music that feels like being lost in a mystical forest. It is a place where I feel a real sense of freedom, allowing me to let go and lose myself in the music. Deep hypnotic techno has always been what I have been drawn to, but I’ve also developed a love for the tribal aspects of the music I play. It reminds me of my time living in Chiapas, a part of Mexico where the Mayan culture is still so present. That region has a deep connection to psychedelics and ancient rituals, which influenced my more recent dive into the trippy and trancey style of certain tracks I select. This mix is a reflection of that journey and the sounds that move me.'

Aydin Imani joins us with a live recording of his session from the Fragments event series in the heart of Oslo, Norway. Some words from Aydin on the event - "This recording comes from our final @frgmnts gathering of the year in Oslo. It was a night shaped by reflection, curiosity, and the quiet satisfaction of having shared many meaningful moments over the past months. We wanted to end the year in a way that felt honest and fitting for where we were at the time. It was our first all-nighter of this kind, held in a new space, with a sense of curiosity and anticipation in the room. As the opening set, my idea was to mark a transition from the warmth of summer into a more introspective period, moving toward darker tones and colder days ahead in Norway (especially) . The dance floor felt warm, intense, and foggy. Smiles came easily, and that feeling stayed with us throughout the night. The set moves through different emotional shades, balancing playfulness and drive with moments of weight and inner tension, always aiming to keep the energy rolling and alive. Looking back, this night definitely stands out as a personal highlight. Seeing Fragments grow into something that resonates, offering people a space to reflect and feel free, made it especially meaningful." Follow : https://soundcloud.com/aydinho767 Tracklist : 1.

“It was a last moment thing that we decided to change some parts of our live and just see where it would take us. I think when you find yourself at Mo:Dem, you always get a different vibe from what you’ve imagined, and this year we wanted to bring something more stripped down compared to the last one. I think this was our most fun and best one we played for Mo:Dem so far.” Recorded live at Mo:Dem Festival, this fusion of Spekki Webu and Feral is a powerful sonic catalyst, where the merging of two psychedelic techno maestros creates the ultimate techno Voltron. What emerges is a deep trip into sonic telepathy and high-fidelity minimalism, driven by high-octane rhythms and ominous sci-fi sounds that channel a raw, futuristic shamanic energy.

“You never know what the other is going to play and that adds a lot of adrenaline. Then you can create something unique, a live patchwork, an improvised mosaic. Doubling the incertitude and the variables, you can definitely have more fun during the performance.” This mix, recorded live at Seed Stage at Mo:Dem Festival captures that exact friction, the moment where two distinct musical minds collide to form something entirely new. Across the three hours, the story unfolds with unconventional rhythms, experimental grooves and deep cerebral soundscapes that defy easy categorization. Spontaneous intuition evolves into a singular flow, where Spekki Webu’s futuristic electronics meets the detailed, shifting layers of Mental.

Hagva is the collaborative vision of CP1 and Not Mass, both key figures in the Milan-based collective Evolvere and core-project of Stagno Records, the emerging Italian label reshaping the experimental music scene with its bold and innovative approach. Recorded live at the legendary Omen Wapta Weekender at Garage Noord, this mix is a marathon descent down a rabbit hole of skeletal rhythms. Built on a philosophy of precision and rupture, the duo explores deep-seated resonances that cut with surgical intent, only to be dismantled by rhythms that break and reform in unpredictable and kinetic ways. A sonic force that descends into a beautiful, transcendental oblivion. Dive in now.

We are thrilled to share Mary Yuzovskaya's set recorded live from Monument Festival 2025 as part of our MNMT 500 celebrations. Mary Yuzovskaya runs her set like an old but reliable steam engine locomotive. Except this train is going to Hogwarts. Mary is a responsible conductor, making sure everyone is on board, getting their bodies going at a steady pace, warming up the system for what's to come. Later. Her sound lives in a hypnotic but assertive space. The hypnotic part comes from steady patterns that loop and settle into the body. Rhythms that repeat long enough to quiet the thinking mind. You are not distracted by constant changes. The groove stays in place and draws you in through consistency. The whole Monument family is dancing in sync. Looking as good as ever. High in energy and anticipation. And then. The sky opens. But, we have our best lasers ON, saved for this occasion, saturday night, they weren't used on friday at all, and when the pouring rain hits the upgraded lasers, we have a million diamonds falling towards us. The crowd roars. Celebrates what nature throws at us. Surrenders to its will. No one left the dancefloor to seek refuge in their tents. No one. Mary Yuzovskaya responds... If you were there, you know that this was the start to what can only be described as the Champions League of festival night shifts. With Yuzovskaya, Pacho and Doltz seemingly playing one after another. Mary’s job was to get the crowd going, but at the same time leave room for more. She delivered.

Steve Bicknell enters the main room at The Villa, Oslo. With decades of experience, Bicknell plays with patience and intent. He does not rush the room. It takes about 25 minutes before he even remotely steps on gaspedal. His sound is rooted in deep and stripped back techno. Often influenced by dub, early UK and Detroit traditions. The set starts in the shadows, with sparse rhythms, low pressure. Early on, there is space. Space to arrive. Space to breathe. As the set continues, he builds through repetition. A new percussion line slips in almost unnoticed. A bassline tightens. The groove becomes firmer without becoming aggressive. Tracks are chosen for their texture and weight, with smooth transitions. The focus is on flow, and the dance floor is slowly pulled together. Later in the set, the pressure increases and the rhythm becomes more insistent. The bass becomes more physical. By this point, the room is locked into the hypnosis. Thank you Steve. And thank you to everyone who came to share this night with us Follow : https://soundcloud.com/steve-bicknell https://www.instagram.com/steve_bicknell/

Raär is a producer, live act, DJ and studio mastering engineer from Belgium. A true artist, who is not pinned down on one particular style or emotion: from soothing ambient to heavy and dark percussion based techno workouts to IDM-inspired takes on everything in-between. This live set was captured at the Stagno Records and Omen Wapta night in Milan last year and is one of his first longform live appearances. This set distills fragility and force into a compact, tactile listening experience. A rare snapshot of process in evolution: Raär’s performance moves with restraint, built around unreleased material, early sketches from his Incentive LP (released on Omen Wapta earlier this year) and glimpses of what’s to come in his collaboration with Stagno.

Denise Rabe is a Berlin based DJ and producer. A true veteran selector, Rabe has commanded the booths of the most respected institutions, including Berghain, Tresor and De School, cementing her reputation as an artist who creates worlds rather than just mixing tracks. Her studio output possesses an intoxicating depth and precision, with releases on the likes of Stroboscopic Artefacts, her own Rabe imprint and 30D Records, including her very recently released outstanding debut album ‘Transition’ - a complex, high-fidelity deep space odyssey - essential listening. For this session, Rabe orchestrates a sonic narrative that exists in the liminal space between contrasting forces, effortlessly balancing the realm between darkness and light, melancholy and euphoria. The mix unfolds as a dark, hypnotic, and richly textured deep mind trip, where industrial rhythms are softened by depth and nuance. This is techno distilled to its primal core—raw, driving, and beautifully complex. Step into the abyss now.
