no idea: Heling, Hems, Ruben AE

no idea is an online radio and event series for ambient and experimental music.

Heling is a DJ, producer, and founder of Muffle Truffle, currently based in Berlin and shaped by Chengdu's independent music scene. Moving through different tempos and textures, his sets blend sub-led rhythms, psychedelic atmospheres, and moments of tension into immersive journeys shaped as much by feeling as by function — equally at home during peak-time hours or deep into the afterhours.

Hems' fascination with sound and frequency runs through his work across disciplines, finding particular focus on the gong, where his playing holds the resonance and draws out long drones and shifting harmonics. In 2025, he held a residency at MONOM in Berlin, where he developed a site-specific piece for the studio's 4DSOUND system, presented on a 72-speaker array at Funkhaus Berlin as part of SPATIAL FESTIVAL. He also performs as part of The Listening Body, a band exploring resonance in the listener's body through multiple gongs, singing bowls, synthesizers, and spatial sound.Alongside Pagan Red, he runs Titrate, a label dedicated to experimental and avant-garde music. With Eight Fold Way, he founded Hardcore Chillout, the long-running London podcast and event series.

Ruben AE is an electronic musician and guitarist based in London.
