For episode 243, we present a four-hour set from Lorely Mur, recorded on October 5th, 2025, during the second edition of Misa de 7 at Bar Américas.

Raised in Ciudad Juárez, Lorely Mur developed her voice within the city’s early-2000s pressure cooker, a context that shaped the discipline and clarity that run through her work. Her years at Hardpop, one of Mexico’s most emblematic clubs, placed her alongside artists from across the global circuit and grounded her approach to techno in precision and intent.

Now based in Denver, she continues to expand her presence in the global underground while remaining a key reference in Mexican techno. This set reflects that trajectory, one that is direct, deliberate and rooted in experience.

Listen and enjoy.

For episode 242, we feature DJ Sphinx, a Detroit-based DJ and multimedia artist whose path into electronic music is shaped by years of creative exploration and deep connection to community.

What began in a bedroom in West Michigan—while studying Fine Art and Illustration—has evolved into a distinct sonic practice rooted in Detroit’s rich techno legacy. After returning home in 2021, Sphinx immersed herself in the city’s underground, drawing inspiration from its enduring ethos of experimentation, resilience, and collective energy.

Her sound blends layered percussion, acid grooves, and Detroit’s driving pulse into mixes that are both introspective and physical. Influenced by early exposure to live jazz, spiritual traditions, and symbolic storytelling, she creates sets that move beyond the functional—toward the transformational.

From stages like Movement, Electric Forest, and The Great Beyond, to this latest offering for Blank Code, Sphinx continues to craft experiences that resonate on and off the dancefloor.

Vegas born. Built from small rooms and borrowed gear. She’s played more awful rooms than she can count. Slamming a full live rig together in twenty minutes and making it work. Charisma? Not her thing. That’s why she’s loyal to the underground, the outsiders, and anyone who’s been told they don’t belong. No gatekeeping. No velvet ropes. Just music and the people who find it. Shared the bill with Nina Kravitz, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Rodhad, Dax J, and Takaaki Itoh. You might have to know someone to know who she is but when you see her, ask for a sticker.
