013 - TEMASA

(interview below)
Temasa is a Hamburg based Techno DJ and Producer. As Resident of the renowned nightclub [PAL] he already made his way on the radar of the scene. In 2023 he launched his new event series 'NEOGEN' which focuses on emerging artists, who represent and rethink the genre's primal themes.

INTERVIEW
Tell us about your beginnings - how did your journey into music and DJing start?

My musical journey started very early - I started playing different instruments at the age of five. So music has always been an important part of my life. When I was 14, I discovered electronic music - especially minimal techno, dubstep and drum and bass. These genres immediately fascinated me and inspired me to become active myself. That's how I eventually got into DJing.

How do you envisage your sound developing over the next few years?

My sound is currently characterised by hypnotic, driving and groovy techno - and this core will remain in the future. At the same time, it's important to me to constantly evolve. I always want to have new influences to keep my sound modern and lively, without losing sight of the classic basic themes and the essence of techno as a genre.

If you could design your dream night - line-up, venue, vibe - what would it look like?

My dream night is not a classic headliner event. I really like discovering new artists and being surprised - that's why I appreciate parties where the line-up is carefully curated and up-and-coming acts are deliberately given a stage. If you avoid big names, the entrance fee can also remain more affordable, which in turn gives more people access to the event. I also like it when new venues are opened up or I can get to know new clubs. This mixture of openness, curiosity and community vibe often brings with it a very special energy and makes for the perfect night for me.

Peryl Live at Metropolis, May 11 2025

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy!

"You can get deeply lost in the darkness if you let yourself merge with it and not fight it.” With this statement, Denise Rabe vividly encapsulates her musical philosophy. As this episode of DYSTOPIA exhibits, her sound is less a musical form than a collection of sounds generating a tense, haunting atmosphere. Rabe's methods and ideas show with total clarity how darkness, what our society incorrectly perceives as negative, is in fact an opening onto a radically liberated world of abstract forces. In this episode I seek to define the meaning of darkness in techno and Denise also shares her thoughts with us about Berghain, the role of gender within the techno scene, how her personal philosophy is expressed through her music, as well as the fortuitous synergy between her name and the spirit of her music. Enjoy the darkness!

(interview below)
Ebass is an emerging force in the techno world, known for driving beats and immersive soundscapes. As a DJ and producer, he blends the raw energy of underground techno with atmospheric detail, creating hypnotic, emotionally charged sets.
With passion and perseverance, he’s steadily earning a reputation for powerful, visceral performances that resonate with techno lovers worldwide. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, his dedication shines through - where precision meets creativity to deliver a complete experience.

INTERVIEW
Was there a specific track, night, or experience that sparked your interest in electronic music or techno?

A moment that truly shifted my perspective was the first time I stepped into this small club in my city. It was intimate, niche, carefully curated. Up until then, I had been used to much larger, more mainstream venues. But this place was different, was dark, raw, with a wall of Funktion-Ones pushing out this bleepy, hypnotic techno. That night, I realized what I was really after, where my ambition was pointing.
If I had to name one track that first sparked that feeling, and still in some ways embodies the vision I’ve held onto ever since, it would be Exium - Subshell (Pfirter Remix). It has everything: tension, groove, and that spatial depth that made me fall in love with techno.

In what way did your move from Italy to Amsterdam influence your musical journey? What motivated that change at the time?

Absolutely. The decision to move was entirely driven by music. That was, and still is, my main focus. I’ve always dreamed big, and I couldn’t accept giving up this passion just because I wasn’t in the right place - or living with that “what if” in my head.
Then, as often happens, other signs and circumstances made things even clearer.
Once I got here, the environment played a big role. It pushed me. I arrived alone, with no connections, but being surrounded by certain energies constantly motivates you to do more, evolve, and learn something every day. Above all, this is where I truly learned what it means to persevere - no matter what.

Are there specific moods or energies you intentionally try to capture when producing – and if so, how do those emotions shape your workflow or your studio setup?

Maybe I’m a bit particular, but when I produce, I try to leave my moods outside. I overthink a lot, and making music helps me shut the world off and tune into myself.
When I hit that flow and things move on their own, that’s when it works. 
The hardest part isn’t usually the technical side, but quieting the mind and finding full focus. The energy in a track reflects me in the most honest way. When everything clicks - when I find a natural, simple workflow that still tells a story - that’s when I feel truly satisfied.
