IA MIX SERIES

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/jonnnah IA MIX 405, Lyon-based producer @jonnnah (Pierre Paumier) delivers a fever dream of dubbed-out breaks, lush techno, and tech house — a mix built for both a 2am club slot and the near-dawn train ride home. In an interview with Jason Cabaniss, Jonnnah discusses his early conservatory percussion training, his move from Ableton and early synths toward a rhythm-driven hardware setup, and the making of his new LP What They Left on his own Second End Records. He talks through the album's therapeutic origins, collaborating with Pavel Milyakov on Me, With You, and running Second End on admiration rather than strategy. The mix previews a more club-oriented, techno-driven direction he's currently developing, featuring two standout tracks from Polish producer a.sl alongside cuts from Model 500, cv313, and Freund Der Familie — emotional continuity over rhythmic mixing, true to how Jonnnah approaches DJ sets and live shows alike.

INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/answer-code-request Recorded to accompany Halo, his first album in eight years, this is a tighter, dancefloor-oriented session from Patrick Gräser. Where a Berghain marathon might stretch to five hours, IA MIX 404 compresses that same energy into a compact, club-focused set. The selections lean spontaneous rather than thematic, drawing on what Gräser has been playing out recently - groovier, house-inflected material sitting alongside the tougher techno his name is best known for.

INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/eric-cloutier Will Patterson sat down with Eric Cloutier to talk about his debut LP My Friend The Abyss and dig deeper into the man behind Palinoia, published alongside an accompanying all-vinyl mix recorded live at Tresor Berlin. Cloutier reflects on 27 years of DJing and the "quality over quantity" philosophy that's kept Palinoia to just 12 releases in ten years. He discusses the slow, pressure-filled transition from digger to producer, admitting he's his own harshest critic and works entirely in-the-box by choice. The album itself, he reveals, was born out of catharsis, a release valve for an especially brutal couple of years, which explains its unexpected swings into jungle, dub and ambient territory alongside his signature techno. Cloutier also speaks candidly about the current state of club culture, criticising promoters chasing metrics over substance and DJs feeding audiences predictable, algorithm-friendly sets, while affirming his own refusal to chase trends just to stay afloat.

INTERVIEW > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/p-relief/ P Relief, of ambient house label P&D with Suzanne Kraft, drops his latest EP Fluff, pushing tempos further into bass music with metallic, punchier rhythms while keeping the label's serene, tonic-like quality. His accompanying IA MIX blends house and bass-leaning tracks around 125bpm, drawing from recent and upcoming releases. Tight and continuous rather than loose, it reflects Inverted Audio's forward-thinking focus. The piece also touches on P&D's 10-year run, its marble-cover artwork, and an accompanying interview covering Berlin, Los Angeles, and more.

INTERVIEW + TRACKLIST > https://inverted-audio.com/mix/ulf-eriksson Malmö DJ and Kontra-Musik label head Ulf Eriksson sits down with us alongside longtime collaborator Andreas Tilliander — known to most as TM404 — to talk through their first joint release, Ulf Och Andreas - EP 1. It's a record ten years in the making: minimal, raw house and techno that bears the marks of their ongoing creative tension — Eriksson pushing for restraint, Tilliander reaching for layers. The conversation is candid, often funny, and revealing about how both artists work. Eriksson also recorded an IA Mix to accompany the release, moving from PST's warm house through Omar-S and Eletun Selona to the duo's own material.
