We already know Lucas Abadi — we have featured him at The Sandy Times quite a few times, and for good reason. His sound leans deep and hypnotic, moving through house, acid, techno, and breakbeat in a way that feels both raw and controlled. Originally from Argentina and now based in Berlin, he naturally carries that mix — a balance of freedom and structure, instinct and precision.
This time, he is joined by Richii — a Berlin-based DJ originally from Fukuoka. And while it might seem like her sound sits between two places, it actually stretches across three: Japan, Australia, and Berlin — all subtly shaping the way she plays and builds her sets.
Her approach isn’t really about genre — it is about atmosphere. That said, there is still a clear thread running through it: house, techno, proto-house, fragments of disco — whatever feels right in the moment, whatever builds the mood.
And it is exactly this sensitivity to atmosphere that makes her sound feel so international. There’s the precision and clarity often associated with Japanese rhythm and transitions, the raw openness of Berlin’s club culture, and that deeper layer — tracks you have to dig for, references that aren’t immediate.
So here we go — four hours of pure vibe. Enjoy.
