Dekmantel Mix 509 - Rozaly
2w ago01:01:03Tap to summarizeCuraçao-born sound curator Rozaly both ignites and unites the dance floor. The sounds he plays are designed to blow open preconceptions about Caribbean music and tap into a more collective sense of memory. The distillation of his musical heritage through a new contemporary lens has made him a favourite at our festivals, which is why he will join us again in Amsterdam and Croatia this summer. But first, his mix, which he describes as "a dream through the night of the Caribbean" that starts in the evening and takes you through to early morning and touches on niche styles like zess, chutney and soca, to Rabòday, Bouyon and Carnival Ganza. The selection is marbled with his own forthcoming field recordings, demos by friends and never-released tunes from overlooked cultural pillars. "A micro patchwork of the complexity of our identities in sound, aiming to fuel a forever-growing organism of pride. Caribbean pride."

Dekmantel Mix 508 - BASHKKA
4w ago01:24:22Tap to summarizeBASHKKA plays with a purpose beyond making people dance. The Munich-born artist is an advocate for the social and political power of electronic music and is a proud advocate of queer culture. Next to her residency at Amsterdam's Raum and Blitz Club in her hometown of Munich, she plays across the world while dropping evocative originals and remixes across the house spectrum. For this week's mix, she homes in on a seductive groove that is grounded in her own "sensual, hypnotic and driving" house music DNA. Technically mixed but full of selection flair, it's infused with glimpses of her own forthcoming tunes while cruising through classic Chicago, bouncy old school and delicious depths.

Dekmantel Mix 507 - Alfred Anders
Mar 2301:10:32Tap to summarizeAlfred Anders is the sort of character every good local scene needs—collector, curator, connector, risk-taker. This week, we get a taste of his mix, cruising at 110 BPM on the slower fringes of club music. A journey through trippy, outer-space spacelines and wonderfully weird grooves, moving from early ’80s house and tribal vibes to New Beat and Proto-Techno, all anchored by his Belgian sound as a guiding red thread. Behind the decks, he is one of the main arteries of the Brussels music scene and nightscape, digging deep for unknown gems that move, entrance, and intrigue. In 10 years time he built up Crevette Records to be a globally recognized and respected record shop, in addition to co-orchestrating some of Brussels’ most sought-after events.

DKMNTL-UFO21 // Rene Wise - Johnson's Theme
Mar 1400:06:00Tap to summarizeRene Wise - Johnson's Theme - Dekmantel - DKMNTL-UFO21 https://dekmantel.com/shop/records/rene-wise-johnsons-theme https://renewise.bandcamp.com/album/johnsons-theme a1. Johnson's Theme a2. Granite Skin b1. Flow b2. Kanga Tapping into the otherworldly frequencies of the UFO series, UK-born, Lisbon-based prodigy Rene Wise (@renewise) arrives on Dekmantel with an assured demonstration of his position at the cutting edge of real techno. Andrew Shobeiri appeared in the cut and thrust of the scene fully-formed around 2017, instantly bringing his Rene Wise alias to top-tier labels with a razor-sharp combination of functional minimalism and mind-warping flair. There's no grey area fluctuation in his hypnotic, intentional sound — this is deep, captivating techno for the long haul, music to submit yourself to. True to his sound, Rene Wise makes his presence felt on Dekmantel UFO with a varied spread of sounds, leading with the melancholic charm of the melodic sequences weaving through 'Johnson's Theme' before sinking into the engrossing folds and low-end rumble of 'Granite Skin'. There's a lighter atmosphere at play in the vaporous impulses that mark out 'Flow' before rolling into the rhythmic urgency and strafing bleeps of 'Kanga'. This is the Dekmantel UFO experience as expressed by one of the leading lights in modern techno — an artist who understands the psychoactive power contained within the subtleties of production and pursuit of the ultimate loop.

Dekmantel Mix 506 - Jesse G
Mar 901:01:05Tap to summarizeLocked into the rhythm of today’s techno landscape, Berlin-based sorcerer Jesse G shapes an intense, ritualistic musical journey. This mix brings you to the depths of dark minimalism, melting into deep, psychedelic passages that become pacy and percussive before the boosters kick in and the trip gets cosmic. Her textures contain power, but never at the expense of emotional nuance, as elements of bass music, breakbeat and UK sound seep into her selections. Witness this Tresor Resident and Hard Wax staffer casting a seamless spell of punching grooves with psychedelic atmospheres at Dekmantel Selectors this summer.

Dekmantel Mix 505 - Binh
Feb 2301:13:59Tap to summarizeHailing from Düsseldorf, Time Passages label head Binh takes crate-digging dedication to another level. His ear for discovering unknown gems has made him a long-time underground favourite, often showcasing his wax during marathon-length sets in Berlin or back-to-backs with fellow cult vinyl heads. Dive into 75 minutes of his signature minimal pressure: thudding kicks and spangled synths, laced with a dark yet futuristic mood. A taste of what’s to come when Binh joins us for the 10th edition of Dekmantel Selectors on the Adriatic coast.

Dekmantel Mix 504 - Lea Occhi
Feb 1601:06:26Tap to summarizeLéa Occhi is Berlin-based, Paris-rooted, but hard-wired into the dancefloor’s more introspective frequencies. The co-founder and resident of queer collective Spectrum Waves channels techno into mental, minimal rituals that are emotionally charged and deep, regardless of energy levels. Outside of the club, she's a proud champion of marginalised communities who uses music to bring people together, despite being a reserved character herself. Ahead of her appearance at Dekmantel Festival 2026, Occhi soundtracks a world where tension, groove and inward reflection collide. Supple, deeply rooted rhythms set the tone as sci-fi techno, psychedelic minimalism and pressurised dub are threaded together into a controlled, classy trip full of machine warmth.

Dekmantel Mix 503 - T.NO
Feb 302:34:24Tap to summarizeAmsterdam’s T.NO delivers the 503rd Dekmantel mix, giving a taste of what he’s bringing to this year’s festival season. The Rinse FM resident draws on his Surinamese heritage to weave kawina rhythms into club music with a sharp, contemporary edge. Bass-led and grounded in Afro-diasporic traditions, his productions carry a restless, exploratory energy on labels like TraTraTrax, Club Djembe and re:lax. His mix for us is a widescreen two-and-a-half-hour selection that dives deep into all aspects of his sound. After a serene ambient start, T.NO wastes no time in getting down to business and lays down stripped back global rhythms that demand a full body response. Moments of percussive, drum-led intensity are woven into futuristic electronics and heavy bass workouts, always under high pressure and with great control.

Dekmantel Mix 502 - Aurora Halal & DJ Nobu
Jan 1401:59:37Tap to summarizeOur first mix of the New Year is an otherworldly back-to-back between DJ Nobu & Aurora Halal that was recorded live at Dekmantel Festival 2023. Japan's Nobu is a renowned selector with a singular but fluid approach to techno and experimental electronic music. He’s the cult figure behind the long‑running Future Terror party series and Bitta label, both of which showcase truly adventurous sounds. Halal, meanwhile, is the Brooklyn‑based favourite who runs the respected Mutual Dreaming series and has a shadowy, psychedelic style that melts genres together with experimental textures. The pair represent two distinct but complementary strands of underground music culture, as heard in this special two-hour recording. There's a rawness to it that keeps you on edge as the duo weave mind-melting techno tales, spin out into cosmic electro and strip everything away to reveal pulsing, hypnotic rhythmic cores. It's an utterly immersive musical dialogue between two modern titans.
