Belfast-based DJ and producer CIAN steps up for this week’s Local Selection, delivering a tasteful, deep, and driving trip through hypnotic techno, flexing his versatility and muscle in digging deep.

The mix is a journey, blending screwball contemporary cuts with low-slung, heads-down grooves that lock you into a rolling, meditative flow. It’s an exercise in rhythm and restraint, showcasing CIAN’s ability to balance tension and release.

Known for his eclecticism, CIAN has become a key figure among Belfast’s new generation of DJs, artists who refuse to be boxed in by a single genre, scene, or label. He represents a dissident energy that belongs purely to the dancefloor and all the ways it can be interpreted.

His taste when selecting is as broad as that spirit suggests: often spinning a dizzying concoction of house, techno, trance, garage, and beyond. Yet, despite the range, his transitions feel outrageously natural, a testament to his instinct and ear for flow.

For this mix, CIAN leans into the techno end of his spectrum, layering percussive grooves with dubby, hypnotic influences to create a smooth yet propulsive rhythm that unfolds with purpose. This is CIAN in his element: broad-spanning, unpretentious, and uncompromisingly funk-fuelled.
