Terminal V

Baron Von Trax is part of the Australian new wave, but what makes him unique is the joy and emotion he brings to harder dance sounds. His tracks are always luminous and uplifting, rich in melody and packed with inescapable emotion that swells the heart while his drums get the pulse rising.

In this interview, the Melbourne man admits he wants his music to be accessible and credits his classical piano background as one of the key tools in his production arsenal. He also speaks on what first turned him onto eurodance and where his sound is going next while serving up a gloriously bright, sunny mix that transitions smoothly through every facet of his sound.

Liverpool’s MXGN belongs to a new generation who have come up through the internet age but don't live online. Instead, he's been locked in the studio since his mid-teens and refining a sound that hits with brutal peak-time force but still carries musicality beneath the beats. Raised on Tomorrowland videos before buying his first decks aged nine, he has now racked up millions of streams, released on labels like Teletech, Filth On Acid and NineTimesNine and is one of the UK’s fastest-rising hard techno stars.

Increasingly drawn toward live performance and hands-on hardware experimentation, MXGN has been rebuilding his music in real time using Roland drum machines, synthesisers and Ableton-based live setups. We speak to him about all that, his route into the scene, and find out about the exclusive mix he has served up for us. It was recorded fully live on hardware and is an assault on all the senses.

Aberdeen's Vivace are forging a sound that is unbound by rules, history or pretence. They have an eclectic range of tastes and influences and pull from all of it when cooking up heat in both the booth and the studio. Trance euphoria, speed garage bump and the hardness of techno all collide with hints of musical nostalgia that bring the fun.

The pair only started working together in early 2024 and have since worked without limits. They now have an unspoken chemistry in the booth and a vast vault of unreleased tunes that you will hear soon. In the meantime, read about how they work, where they find inspiration and how they put together their mix, which is a twisted hard techno workout of slamming drums, dark textures and fresh fusions that hit different.

Rising fast out of Sydney’s north-west, Efesian is armed with techno weaponry built from pummelling kicks, jungle-leaning percussion and flashes of ‘90s trance euphoria. He's already had a Beatport #1 with 'Can’t Be Stopped', and been backed by heavyweights like Carl Cox, Klangkuenstler, FJAAK, Joris Voorn and HI-LO, so he is another one of Australia’s closely watched hard techno exports.

Now stepping up for Terminal V’s mix series with a turbocharged session built for maximum impact and stacked with his own productions, unreleased IDs and smartly chosen classics. It’s tightly wound with controlled peaks and troughs from start to finish and kicks off with a premiere of his brand new tune, 'Good Time.' Stick it on while you learn about his journey to this point, pressure in the studio and why he loves it hard.

Mirage is a new school disruptor from Ghent. The young DJ and producer has been digging deep into the roots of hard house, UKG and piano house for years and is now rewriting it with his own perspective. It's seen his sound hold back home but also increasingly around Europe, where he plays fast but with control, emotion and narrative.

More recently, he's founded his own platform, 32Jumpstreet, as a way of spotlighting local talent, and here he tells us about that, how he approaches production, the influence of his hometown, and what he had to say with this week's mix. Turn it up loud and tune into a fast-rising tastemaker.
