Гиперактивное веселье — если говорить в двух словах о новом подкасте от нашей любимой Hyperaktivist для Veselka. Кто помнит выступление венесуэльской гостьи в 2019 году, тот не даст соврать о том, что её сет по-другому и не описать. 

«Этот подкаст — словно американские горки, на которых мы катаемся с марта прошлого года. Прыгая то вниз, то вверх, путешствуя между тёмными и светлыми сторонами моего разума, музька бросает нас по сторонам — от быстрого техно к псай-трансу и олдскульному хаусу. Но не смотря на непостоянство, в конечном итоге мы возвращаемся в тёплые солнечные края моего родного карибского побережья»

Jon Hussey, a pioneer of the Irish Techno scene DJing since the early nineties, kick-starting at the infamous Planet Dub night in Dublin. He has promoted and resided at many Techno clubs throughout Ireland as well as playing in many Techno havens across the world including Amsterdam, London, New York, Bratislava, Berlin, Leeds and Turin.

In '99 Jon was among the first group from Ireland to qualify for the Red Bull Music Academy which was held in Berlin. Over the past decade he has kept this passion nurtured by being continuously involved in similar projects and innovations and recently organised a group of young rising Irish DJs and producers to participate at the pioneering PLUG “Plug European Electronic Music Conference” in Berlin. 

Music wise Jon has played alongside many of his all time favourite artists from Plaid to Surgeon, Joey Beltram, Jeff Mills, Steve Bicknell, Sunil Sharpe, Takaaki Itoh, Ancient Methods, Loktibrada, Rumenige, Dave Clarke, Mark Broom, Henning Baer, Inigo kennedy, Neil Landstrumm, Reeko, Grovskopa, DJ Boss, Bas Mooy, Perc, Hardfloor, Oscar Mulero, Jerome Hill, AnD, Truss, Paula Temple, Christian Wunsch and Exium!!

In 2011 Jon dedicated some production time with fellow Techno DJ Sunil Sharpe as part of a joint project under the moniker Tricaustic and released “the Caustophobic Pressure EP” on Komisch records which was well received and supported by artists such as Dave Clarke, Surgeon, Peter Van Hoesen, Anthony Shakir, Smear, Kriz, DJ 3000 and many more.

Recently the national radio station (2FM) were quoted in their Late Night Sessions Blog as stating that “Jon Hussey is one of the longest serving true purveyors of Techno in Ireland, running nights in the early days of Dublin's dance scene, when techno to most people meant U96 or 2 Unlimited. Consistently one of the best DJs around, Jon never lets the side down” giving a rare insight into Jon's personality as a DJ!

Terminal V Podcast 009 - Rolando

To some the notion that Edinburgh houses one of the most influential techno artists of our generation might sound like a bold claim. These people have clearly never heard of Rolando aka Rolando Rocha aka The Aztec Mystic, we could go on and on but Roland is the real deal. An integral part of Techno activists Underground Resistance Rolando is a bona fide Detroit OG and given he done his own thing when UR were at the height of their powers shows a true sense of self and mega set of morals.

What was Detroit’s loss is most definitely Scotland’s gain and this mix is just one of the many reasons why…
