13/11/25 Hypersigil✨ 10 – Valeska

The tracks in the mix for Hypersigil✨ fluctuate between a melancholic and an eerily beautiful atmosphere that constantly threatens to drift into sadness without fully succumbing to it. The set is permeated by bowed and plucked string instruments and emerging vocals of ethereal, choral, distorted, and raw forms. It is an interplay between fragile compositions and consoling melodies that dissolves in a twisted recovery.

The sets and mixes of Leipzig-based DJ, artist, and curator Valeska tear all-too-familiar listening attitudes apart while challenging expectations towards club music. She dramaturgically works with uneasy moods, sudden cuts, unheard sounds, and ever-changing rhythmic structures. Valeska's sonic endeavour is strongly linked to fictional inner landscapes of a sensory and visual nature translating into intense narratives of her listening mixes. These musical excursions have been banned onto tapes for the Leipzig-based label Prepaid Records or into radio shows for Retreat Radio, n10.as, Radio Alhara and Stegio Radio. She is the founder of the event series swish, co-founder of rewind, and the tape label Shell Tapes.
