Johana is a DJ and visual artist from Belgrade, recently based in London, UK. She has been part of the DJ duo Banda Panda for over a decade. Johana ran two party serials; F-Society - whose concept was dedicated to promoting local female electronic DJs and producers and BIPOLAR - focused on bringing more left-field underground international artists to Belgrade. She explores through techno and trance, acid house, industrial, EBM, post punk, downtempo, gloomy disco.

In her decade-long affair of party making, Johana has become a master within the mid-tempo arena. Intricate melodies give color to an overall gloomy and mysterious selection, crafted for dance in pairs. After her move to London, Johana didn't fall for the trends or stray from this path.

Art Bei Ton Podcast 100: Artefakt
( @artefakt-official )

To celebrate the 100th episode of our podcast serie we're more than happy to welcome iconic duo Artefakt. 

They recorded for us a special mix, expressing elegantly a wide range of emotions. A perfect way to celebrate this achievement. 

We would like to thank all of the artists who joined our serie and the supporters. 

Enjoy!

More info about Artefakt:

At the root of Nick Lapien and Robin Koek’s Artefakt project is a shared love for melancholic, hypnotic voodoo music. Their sound is pensive with deep, rich textures; long track lengths—often six-minutes-plus—give the duo an expansive framework in which to make small changes of texture and tone, creating cerebral, balanced atmospheres that absorb and engage. 

“Sometimes we just take a short element, like the sound of a falling drop of water, and from this recording we extract the rhythm and use it as a starting point,” they say. “It’s a very organic way of creating new material.”

76번째 vurt podcast는 네덜란드의 라이브 테크노 듀오 Artefakt의 113분 라이브 세트와 함께 합니다. 이 세트는 지난 2023년 field records의 15주년을 기념하여 열린 'Floating World’ 레이블 투어 중 도쿄 Spread에서 6월 2일에 녹음된 라이브 실황 세트입니다. (도쿄 이벤트는 Liminal Dreams가 공동주최 하였습니다.)

The 76th vurt podcast features a 113-minute live set from Artefakt, the live techno duo from the Netherlands. 
This set by Artefakt was recorded live at Spread in Tokyo, on the 2nd of June 2023. This night was part of the Field Records ‘Floating World’ label tour celebrating their 15 year anniversary. The Tokyo events were co-organised by the Liminal Dreams collective.

세계적으로 잘 알려진 네덜란드의 라이브 테크노 듀오 Artefakt는 닉 라피엔(Nick Lapien)과 로빈 쿡(Robin Koek)의 최면적이고 주술적인 음악에 대한 공통된 애정을 기반으로 시작되었다. 듀오는 폭넓은 프레임-워크(frame-work)를 통해 음악이 연주되는 동안 소리의 질감과 톤을 미세하게 변화시켜 인간의 뇌가 몰입하고 호흡할 수 있는 최적의 분위기를 조성한다. 최근에는 즉흥적인 방식을 기반으로 정교하게 큐레이팅된 콜라보레이션 시리즈 De Stijl를 선보이며 창작의 경계를 확장하고 있다. Artefakt는 유럽, 북미, 아시아 전역에서 라이브 공연을 펼쳐왔으며, 아날로그 감성이 짙은 이들의 무대는 아름다운 선율과 깊은 감성의 테크노를 좋아하는 팬이라면 절대로 놓쳐서는 안될 최고의 공연이다.

At the root of Nick Lapien and Robin Koek’s Artefakt project is a shared love for melancholic, hypnotic voodoo music. Their sound is pensive with deep, rich textures; long track lengths—often six-minutes-plus—give the duo an expansive framework in which to make small changes of texture and tone, creating cerebral, balanced atmospheres that absorb and engage. “Sometimes we just take a short element, like the sound of a falling drop of water, and from this recording we extract the rhythm and use it as a starting point,” they say. “It’s a very organic way of creating new material.” 
After a period of self-reflection, the Dutch duo returned in 2019 to launch a label with a new EP. De Stijl serves as a platform for their musical explorations and those of their close friends. The imprint’s inaugural EP,  Far and Wide, a lesson in dancefloor-ready techno that prioritises mood and melancholy, preceded Monsoon, Artefakt’s second album, this time on Svreca’s mighty Semantica Records. Across eight tracks, the duo evidenced an intrinsic understanding of rhythmic structures, confirming their status as one of the most singular and emotionally evocative acts in contemporary techno. 
As a live act, Lapien and Koek have performed all across Europe, North America, and Asia, their analog-heavy set a must-see for fans of melodic and deeply emotive techno. Drawing on their shared love for collecting records, they also perform as DJs, crafting long, hypnotic narratives laced with exclusive material and records from the expensive collections, old and new. 
Having first crosses paths at university, Lapien and Koek began making music together in 2012. Lapien, whose infectious, swinging house cuts have featured on Rekids, Soul People Music, and DVS1’s Mistress, was just beginning his career as a solo artist; while Koek, who designs his own artistic systems and teaches at dBs Music Berlin, had just earned a Master of Arts from Utrecht's School of Arts, specializing in Sound Design and Composition. After releasing two EPs on the legendary Dutch imprint Delsin Records, in 2017 Koek and Lapien presented their debut album, Kinship, cementing their nuanced, atmospheric style while showcasing its breadth. It was the first big step in their ongoing pursuit to adopt techno as an art-form rather than a genre.

Emma B - HÖR Berlin April 2025

Ich weiß nicht, wann genau es angefangen hat. Vielleicht war es dieser erste flirrende Ton, kaum greifbar, fast wie ein Gedanke, der durch einen halbdunklen Raum schwebt. Société - Pale Drifter, sagt mir jemand neben mir. Alles ist noch weich, langsam, organisch. Kein Beat, nur Andeutung. Ich spüre, wie sich etwas aufbaut. 

Dann - plötzlich - der erste Kick. Dezent, aber unübersehbar. Etwas in mir richtet sich auf. Ich merke: Ich bin angekommen.
Der Raum lebt. Die Musik beginnt zu wechseln - nicht abrupt, eher wie ein Strom, der die Richtung ändert. Dub schleicht sich ein, und mit ihm dieser reduzierte Groove, der mehr fragt als antwortet. 
Und dann: Brass Destruction - laut, mutig, völlig ungeniert. 

Es ist dieser Moment, in dem etwas kippt. Die Zurückhaltung fällt, die Energie wird anders. Körperlicher. Der Groove packt uns - nicht aggressiv, eher verspielt, mit einem Hauch Wahnsinn.
Als Static Rhythm: Control kommt, wird es ernst. Die Drums sind härter, schärfer. Mein Körper folgt, ohne zu fragen. Ich tanze jetzt nicht mehr, ich reagiere. Der Dancefloor ist keine Fläche mehr, sondern etwas, das pulsiert und mich mitnimmt.

Und dann - der Bruch. Kein harter Cut, aber ein Aufatmen. House. Klassisch. Akkorde wie Lichtstrahlen, Vocals wie Umarmungen. Ich erkenne die Stimme sofort - Deborah Cox. Ihre Wärme trifft mich unerwartet tief. Plötzlich ist all das hier nicht mehr nur Musik, sondern Erinnerung.

Als der letzte Ton verklingt, bleibe ich kurz stehen. Ich schaue mich um - wir alle haben etwas durchquert. Nicht nur ein Set, sondern eine Geschichte. Eine, die zwischen Tiefe und Euphorie pendelte, zwischen innerem Echo und äußerem Rausch.

Ich lächle und gehe langsam raus.
