First tested at the opening of last year's Unsound in Kraków, this mix captures the singular, hyper-charged style that has made Chuquimamani-Condori (AKA DJ E) one of electronic music's most unpredictable forces. It feels like a dispatch from an oasis far removed from the parameters of experimental music as we know it. Across 48 minutes, Andean folk, cumbia and country music are bent and spliced into a delirious wall of sound, stitched together with the Bolivian-American artist's signature soundboard FX.

For the tenth edition of NAFF's mix series, former De School resident Jasmín swaps her usual broken bass sound for minimal house and techno. Recorded during a summer heatwave, the set layers faint voices, distorted drums and low-end pressure into a feverish atmosphere. Spanning long-time favourites (DJ Koze, Ricardo Villalobos) and recent digital finds, she leans into long, subtle blends, tapping into the ongoing resurgence of minimal's hypnotic pull.

Basel's amenthia recordings may have carved out a niche with its leftfield, slow-burning techno, but label cofounder Agonis shows the vibes needn't be austere. Here, the Swiss DJ and producer delivers 66 minutes of colour and warmth for Kia's beloved Animalia series. Groovy, trippy selections are threaded with vocals and trance flourishes. It's a reminder that hypnotic techno can move with both depth and vibrancy, balancing ritual intensity with playful, body-driven momentum.

Max Watts is elusive. The Detroit-based artist once wiped his entire discography from the internet, which only made the buzz around him grow louder. Known for peak-time tracks and vinyl turntablism that recall legends like Claude Young, he's quietly become one of techno's most compelling underground voices. For the latest Ilian Tape Podcast, he dives into aquatic shades of techno and electro, teasing the upcoming release on his label, Limited Network.

"Archiving gqom, one mix at a time," reads the tagline for Oroko Radio resident Mamthug's GQOM MIX TAPES series. Emerging from Durban's townships in the early 2010s, gqom quickly became one of South Africa's most influential party genres, defined by heavy bass, stripped-back percussion and a brooding intensity. On this episode, Mamthug—usually drawn to jazzy breakbeats—leans fully into gqom's vast spectrum, moving from sensual cuts to sub-rattling bangers, highlighting both the intimacy and force of a genre that remains as vital as ever.

Transmissions, the excellent London party spotlighting psychedelic club music, books hypnotic techno experimentalists such as DJ Nobu, Polygonia and Donato Dozzy. For those unable to attend the raves IRL, the crew has started a new mix series, launching with Bangkok-based DJ and label owner Sunju Hargun. A recording from FOLD's cosier second space, the Steam Room, the session opens with ceremonial chants. Vocals twirl around body-rattling bass and eerie synth lines, eventually giving way to two hours of Hargun's unique take on trippy techno.

NTS Radio's latest In Focus celebrates DJ Mehdi, a hip-hop-kid-turned-house-DJ who defined a generation of Paris nightlife in the early 2000s. Raised on the outskirts of the French capital by Tunisian parents, he began producing mixtapes and beats inspired by J Dilla, before emerging as an unlikely icon of the Paris party scene. His radiant selections helped stitch together disparate worlds, from Daft Punk and Justice to MC Solaar. This hour-long mix captures that alchemy: rugged, sample-heavy productions for 113, Rohff and Mafia K'1 Fry sit alongside glossy, synth-driven anthems like "Pocket Piano," culminating in the euphoric climax of Thomas Bangalter's edit of "Signatune."

Mbizo spins an hour of his own productions for Strøm Festival, Copenhagen's long-running celebration of electronic music and sound culture. While the Danish city has in recent years become known for high-BPM techno, Mbizo carves out a different path, grounding his set in old-school steppers, digi-dub and meaty dubstep (listen out for the cheeky JME edit). It's a refreshing counterpoint—and a seriously impressive showcase of Mbizo's studio skills.
