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.

DKMNTL-UFO15 // Broken English Club - Songs Of Love And Decay

Non Place 14. The Occult Body Dekmantel UFO Series continues its resurgent form with a new album of bruising, industrial wave and techno from Broken English Club. UK techno mainstay Oliver Ho (@oliverho13) debuted his dark and brooding alias more than 10 years ago with a release on Jealous God under the guidance of the late, great Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) — Songs Of Love And Decay is explicitly dedicated to Mendez, whose influence runs deep in this seductively sinister corner of underground, independent electronic music. Within the overarching aesthetic of the Broken English Club sound, Ho finds the freedom to deliver a full spectrum album as diverse as it is consistent. You can sense the shadow of his roots in 90s tribal techno punching through on 'Crawling' and 'Death Cult', while 'England Heretic' leans on thick swathes of analogue synthesis indebted to Giallo soundtracks and the ever-compelling lure of 80s synthwave. In its grinding layers of distortion and dubbed out vocals 'Vessel Of Skin' speaks more to the post-punk influences which have set Broken English Club apart since the outset. This isn't a purely retro-fetishist expedition, though — 'Pacific Island Kill' and 'Lost Gods' exude stark modernism in their sharply-angled sequences and dramatic sound design, moving beyond the functional demands of 4/4 dance music to reach to more cinematic zones. These are but some of the approaches Ho burrows into as he shapes out the depth and breadth of his muse on Songs Of Love And Decay. It's marked by the undeniable impact of his production, perfected over a decades-deep career at the bleeding edge of machine music. At times the album celebrates the addictive thrust of the dancefloor, while elsewhere it relishes the tension of suspended animation. Throughout, the gritty veneer binds together this accomplished, uncompromising body of work as both a fierce artistic statement and a loving tribute to Mendez — an artist who equally embodied the darker side of the dance.

DKMNTL106 // upsammy - Open Catalyst
Mar 7, 202500:06:00Tap to summarizeupsammy - Open Catalyst - Dekmantel - DKMNTL106 buy vinyl: https://dekmantel.com/shop/records/upsammy-open-catalyst buy digital: https://upsammy.bandcamp.com/album/open-catalyst a1. Relict a2. Telluric b1. Open Catalyst b2. Background Impact Four years since her last dancefloor 12", @upsammy returns to Dekmantel with a four-track exploration of gleaming, sprightly drum and bass with a restorative centre. Thessa Torsing's moves in upper tempo zones have been defined by her light touch, finding power and presence in finely chiseled sounds and sculpting space between intricate, interwoven rhythms. The dynamic movement of her pristinely moulded percussion is absolutely geared up for the club, but it's also matched with an uplifting, meditative sound palette which tempers the busy energy of the drums. Pushing and pulling on her arrangements with ever-increasing expressiveness and revelling in the subtlest of modulations to her kinetic beat systems, upsammy proves once again that moving in time to fast music can be an incredibly restorative experience.
