Favorite Mixes from August 2025
The mix is one of electronic music’s oldest tools, yet it refuses to age. Technology reshapes the process, but the purpose, carving out an atmosphere and shifting perception, remains untouched. August underscored that resilience. Estrato Aurora, Markus Guentner, and RARs turned in self-contained universes made entirely of their own productions. Xenia Reaper, Ben Kaczor, Dwaalgast, and Artefakt took the studio (radio) podcast route, plotting arcs with precision. Zara, Nathalia, and Doctrina Natura captured the volatility of live sets, where instinct leads and nothing is guaranteed. Together, they demonstrate how the same format can adapt to different logics while still addressing the same need: to transform the atmosphere of any given space, to reframe a single hour as something more substantial.
