Recorded under a full moon in the forests of the Japanese Alps, Hypnotic Black Magic’s set at Otsukimi Festival 2023 is a masterclass in slow-burning tension. Moving away from standard club tempos, the Berlin-based DJ weaves together a ritualistic mix of deep, half-time rhythms, breakbeats, and trippy, forest-friendly techno. It’s a dense, highly atmospheric journey featuring tracks from Konduku, Vardae, and Alan Backdrop that perfectly captures the mystical energy of the Japanese wilderness.
