Amsterdam’s T.NO delivers the 503rd Dekmantel mix, giving a taste of what he’s bringing to this year’s festival season. The Rinse FM resident draws on his Surinamese heritage to weave kawina rhythms into club music with a sharp, contemporary edge. Bass-led and grounded in Afro-diasporic traditions, his productions carry a restless, exploratory energy on labels like TraTraTrax, Club Djembe and re:lax.

His mix for us is a widescreen two-and-a-half-hour selection that dives deep into all aspects of his sound. After a serene ambient start, T.NO wastes no time in getting down to business and lays down stripped back global rhythms that demand a full body response. Moments of percussive, drum-led intensity are woven into futuristic electronics and heavy bass workouts, always under high pressure and with great control.
