ICTV mixes Parallel Groove

Berlin’s underground continues to export some of the most refined club sounds in Europe, and ICTV is firmly among the names pushing that reputation forward. His latest contribution to the Parallel Groove series on Intr0beatz series is a tight, deeply curated mix that captures both his technical precision and his instinct for mood-driven storytelling.

Known offstage as Christoph, ICTV has built a steady presence in Berlin through years of dedicated digging and dancefloor experience. Whether performing solo or as one half of Horsemen, his approach is rooted in a clear understanding of how to guide a room, never rushed, never predictable. That same sensibility defines this new mix.

For Parallel Groove, ICTV leans into a sound palette that feels both nostalgic and forward facing. UK influenced tech house rhythms sit comfortably alongside early 2000s deep house textures, while subtle contemporary elements keep the flow fresh. The result is a set that evolves naturally, shifting from hazy, late night introspection into moments of crisp, driving energy without ever breaking its stride.

There is a noticeable patience in the way the mix unfolds. Tracks are given space to breathe, transitions are smooth and deliberate, and the overall arc feels considered rather than constructed for instant impact. It is the kind of listening experience that rewards attention, but still works effortlessly in a club context.

ICTV’s role as a resident for Small Great Things at OXI has clearly sharpened his ability to read and shape a dancefloor, and that experience translates here. Even outside the club, the mix carries a physicality, subtle tension, release, and groove that feels designed for movement.

With releases already landing on respected labels and a growing reputation across Berlin and beyond, ICTV continues to define his place within a new wave of artists who value depth over hype. His Parallel Groove contribution is another strong statement, understated, focused, and deeply connected to the roots of club culture while still looking ahead.

For listeners tuned into Intr0beatz’s series, this installment stands out not by trying to dominate, but by drawing you in, slowly, confidently, and with intent.
