It's an honor to welcome Melbourne's Alex Albrecht for the next chapter in our series, an artist whose work I've admired for so many years. There is such a sensitivity in Alex's music, a delicate handhold between feeling and movement that lives within each measure, and which Alex brings out with such profound and organic ease. The vast horizon of sound that Alex has built through his own discography and that of his tremendous label Analogue Attic, co-founded with Sean La'Brooy, has undeniably shaped the path I find myself walking today and I know many others would say the same.

Here Alex presents a story compiled from recent live performances and a companion to his newly released album "Hiriketiya", a soft-focus snapshot of a path leading home, a set rooted so firmly in a sense of place that one can't help but feel transported in its wake. Thank you Alex!

The Hague's Caim joins our series with a two-hour, all-vinyl recording steeped in late spring's glow, channeling the veteran producer's penchant for sustained groove and mind-diving alchemy. A rare look into the crates of an artist whose sought-after discography demands a deep dive in itself, Caim's set radiates with inner warmth, an infrared swirl of time-worn and newly minted sound channeled through an indelible, effervescent haze. Thanks Mark!

Amsterdam's Tammo Hesselink is a rare talent, a multi-faceted producer whose many releases and aliases span both our own imprint and several of our favorite labels, including Nous'klaer, Delsin, and Midgar. Tammo's style is uniquely his own yet all but impossible to define, hallmarked by exacting precision and striking fidelity, unrestrained by genre or style. Holding residencies at both De School and Garage Noord, the evolution of Tammo's artistic career is inseparable from that of the Dutch scene itself and synonymous with its very forefront.

It's a treat to finally welcome Tammo to the series with this extended recording from Madrid's Espacio Perpendicular for Simulacro Colectivo, three hours of controlled chaos, a shifting latticework of blistering percussion, amorphous haze, and pure ballistic sound. Thanks Tammo!

Jasmín folds us into her singular dimension with a long-awaited episode from the Dutch-Argentinian artist. Jasmín is a mainstay across the Netherlands' most cutting-edge lineups for a reason, and with a recent EP for Hessle Audio under her belt there's no question that she's a remarkable talent to be reckoned with. Her assured command of rhythm is on full display in this set, a chain reaction of subliminal sound built with immaculate control and fluid grace, an intricate ecosystem of silt and stone. Thank you Jasmín!

Our latest entry welcomes London's TSUNIMAN, whose reputation as one of the city's most beloved selectors long preceded our chance to finally meet during last year's Draaimolen. Conjuring a full spectrum of emotion while maintaining a sense of weightless propulsion throughout, the degree of craft and care within this mix is tremendous, and the result is pure sonic alchemy. A galvanic swirl of modern and timeless sound, a primal gateway reaching stratospheric heights. Thank you Iman!
