thank u to everyone that was rocking w me in room 2 at holo last month. big big shout out to @twist.nyc , @don_ri.wav and my loved ones who gave me the space to express myself. promoters hit me up if u like what u hear, there’s plenty more where that came from 😼🌋
wanted to share a few clips from @vuivefest on Friday. there are not many experiences in nyc that center vietnamese music and faces in nightlife (tbh this might be the only 1) and it meant so so much to me to get the call from @hien999 and @leonguyencomedy to soundtrack the peak time slot.
this was the first vinahouse set I’ve ever played and it was so much fun to connect vinahouse to other diasporic genres like baile funk and drill that have had a huge influence on me and the lava sound.
big up to @leonguyencomedy as the mc and the crowd for locking in, won’t forget this night for a long time

To close out the year, we welcome Milan-based experimental sound artist and producer @_pol100_ as the final Lava Recordings radio guest of 2025 : )
POL100’s sound is anchored in meditative sound design, weaving ambient, bass, breaks, and abstract elements into rhythmically deconstructed forms. He is an incredibly versatile producer, equally at home crafting evocative soundscapes for @easternurseries earlier this year as delivering stunning club weapons for @earlyreflex and @yukuwax .
No matter the genre, his cinematic world always shines through in the layered textures, broken rhythms, and careful balance of tension and release.
This comes through clearly in the mix here where he has showcased another side of his sound. It’s an hour long mix designed for home listening with a focus on sample based hip hop and 90s jungle. I hope you enjoy and thank you to everybody for listening this year <3

fresh off an epic b2b with AXT at Lunchmeat festival, we have one of my favorite producers, DJs, and a fkn beast at sound design, @ancestral.visi0n , as the Lava Recordings guest for November 😁
I first discovered his music through his Prague-based hybrid electronics label Unizone, which has also been home for releases from other heavy hitters like miss jay, capiuz, and T5UMUT5UMU.
Jan is an extraordinarily talented producer with releases on LOFS, Over My Body, and Katharsis, and his sonic world is unlike anybody else’s. In his music, you can hear a deep melting pot of hybridized club forms, self-collected field recordings, and both alien and organic textural sound design.
anytime I listen to one of his tracks and sets, I’m struck by how naturally he guides listeners through something that feels both epic and intimate at the same time. I hope you enjoy his contribution to the show, link in bio💙
