To prove that the clubber doesn’t live by techno alone, Mendi prepared a few days ago a mix for the Madrid label Noise To Meet You. In this podcast, Raquel proposes a journey that includes more serene sonorities, classic electro and ambient forces that follow one another in a set composed of very current tracks… Although with classic productions. The result and the setlist can be found on the label’s official soundcloud. Here goes the mix.
The first edition of Refractor, which took place May the 27th counted with one of the great talents of the local scene: Parallax. The party, organized by the new platform Organic Signs, also had artists like Servei, Sybil or the renowned Remotif.
After an intense set by Tadan, the artist from Madrid began to release her musical repertoire around 7 am, in which breaks, acid and jungle sounds predominated. All marked by the memory of 90s melodies and synths that starred the golden rave era.
We are in the middle of summer and with it comes the festival season. Among these particular events, Mad Cool stands out in Madrid, which returns this year moving to Villaverde and with a lineup that once again synthesizes the best of the international Indie scene. Also with multiple proposals from our country that are more alternative/experimental and including emerging projects of the local scene, Mad Cool will feature this year one of our artists par excellence: Mendi.
Mendi will join the festival line-up on Saturday and will be included in the electronic stage, called The Loop. In this space, other local heroes such as Two Ex will also appear and some of the most renowned global selectors, such as Honey Dijon or The Blessed Madonna, will stand out.The Madrilenian will be in charge of opening the last date of the festival, from 18.55 and preceding none other than Denis Sulta. Tickets can still be purchased here. We will continue to look for new ways to expand our sphere of influence.
Today Mendi visits the Selecta Groove Radio program. It is received, as usual, by Rafa Pérez and Sergio López.
We don’t know if the tap will hold such a musical spurt. As always, in techno key. Mendi has played in the most emblematic clubs and parties in Madrid, Cassette, Crow and UTOPIA to mention a few.
It is a pleasure that he wanted to come to visit us and give you a set that you will surely love.
A mix that is pure fascination for iconoclasm. Replay Sunset Partie’s number 63 podcast is signed by one of the guests at The City Hall stage: Yngryd. Originally from Chile, but arrived in our country young, Yngryd is an eclectic dj who, as in her session, especially likes acid atmospheres and subtle and pompous electro; but she’s also able to take her mixes to heights of breaks, jungle and broken and explosive rhythms… A rocking and amazing journey through the world of dance music.
There are only a few weeks left to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Replay the terrace of Fabrik, with artists of the stature of Yngryd representing local talent.
Under the sign of Pisces we met again in an oceanic and electrifying night. On march the 18th, we celebrated our sixth event and it was a very special occasion: because of women’s day we only had female performers at Cadavra Club.
The First Fly Dance of 2023 was an absolute blast. Julia Pé returned to Cadavra, this time to the 1st floor. There she made an all night lounge playing with vinyl. Dark atmospheres, great melodies and lots of contrasts, a booth filled with sumptuous electro and techno music.
Next, the set continued with a b2b of Parallax and Topanga Kiddo. Breaks and Jungle began to take over the space, catching the pulse of a euphoric audience. After this beautiful transition of about an hour the revolutions were already unbridled. Topanga is one of the most versatile and energetic djs of the national scene and proved it with a fiery session, able to combine techno with experimental sounds and with some of the most classic and fun tracks that we remember.
The closing was in charge of Rachael. With her the transition to jungle, the most aggressive and raver sounds was consummated… Putting the finishing touch to a night that combined in its hours from the most avant la lettre sounds of recent years to the most atavistic of our land, through the international tracks of the origin of the scene and a new perspective when it comes to connect the generically discordant.
You can listen to the complete mixes and watch the video of what happened below. We’ll fly again soon.

Listen to the last vinyl set of w-95 recorded live at Kintsugi’s friends party at Hangar 48 on the 19th of november.
Brazilian of Japanese origin and resident in Madrid, Brenda is the perfect example of a multi-instrumentalist academic artist who ends up finding her true path in experimenting with new sounds through electronic music.
From that moment on, her priority is to improve her technique and start creating her own productions within the world of electronic music.
Devila Crew define Brenda Sayuri style as techno shamelessly focused on live, as he conceives her studio music leaving the right spaces to give it real life live, using semi modular synthesizers, drum machines and MIDI controllers.
Her main influences include Tensal, Helena Hauff and The Lady Machine.
