Paul Bashin - No Caption

Welcome to the second episode of NOT ALWAYS HARDER (sometimes faster 👻) - my new podcast series on Soundcloud. Every month, I’ll introduce 2-3 of my top favorite producers and mix their unreleased tracks on at least three decks. Focus is to show up how to combine and bring the hypnotic groove together 🤍

IN THE MIX: MYTHON - MACCARI - DJUS

MYTHON

Mython is a Berlin based Techno producer and DJ.
Mythons focus lies on the dark and heavy side of techno. Hypnotic patterns and hard hitting kick drums are at the core of his sound. 
Originally from northern Niedersachsen he started playing music at a young age. After playing drums and guitar in several Metal bands, Mython started gravitating more towards electronic music, specifically Techno.
Today his main goal is to capture the dirty and gritty underground vibes of Techno and push the sound towards the perfect symbiosis of melancholy and pure energy.

MACCARI

Maccari is an artist from São Paulo who embodies the strength of his roots in his sound design and drum patterns, with well-defined breaks, build up and drops. His productions gained the support from artists like James Ruskin, Richie Hawtin, Rene Wise and many others

DJUS

Utrecht based DJ and Producer.
DJUS is rapidly becoming a recognizable name in the techno scene. With multiple releases on various labels, his sound is to be heard in some of the most infamous venues around the world. His style varies from deep and groovy to funky, often featuring vocal-infused high-energy tracks. Next to DJing and producing, DJUS has also founded ASW Collective. Through this platform, he is committed to spotlighting emerging talents in the scene via a podcast series and numerous EP releases on the label.

In the age of TikTok, “Bigroom” and “Sensual” may present as much a juxtaposition as “Techno” and “Underground”. Being never the one to shy away from building bridges, DJ Gigola situates her upcoming EP “Bigroom Sensual” somewhere in the empty space between early 2000s technoid sounds and the harder, faster rhythm of a new generation of dancers – both of which fill big rooms in their own distinct ways.
 
In a series of EPs, the Berlin-based DJ and producer envisions a type of Bigroom that blends the feeling of 2001-2010 Trance Techno, minimalist swaying Tech-House and the current wave of ubiquitous high-energy sound, united by her signature soundscape and the meandering subline of her caressing vocals.
 
Caught between the lines, the launch of the “Bigroom Sensual” series is an attempt at reconciliation, mediating the supposed disconnect between Gen-Z Rave and Boomer Tech-House where both come best together: on the dancefloor, repurposing the big room as a place of reunion.

Artist: Exilles 
Title: Sonic Chronicles EP 
Label: Märked 
Catalog number: MRKD047
 Genre: Techno 
Format: digital 
Release date: 29-11-2024 
Art direction: Future Tragedy 
Tracklist: 
01. Exilles – Kemokoji 
02. Exilles – 133HP 
03. Exilles – Run Into The Void 
04. Exilles – Drums Of War 
05. Exilles – 133HP (Lifka Remix) 
06. Exilles – Kemokoji (Nika Key Remix) 

Exilles unveils Sonic Chronicles EP, a six-track odyssey through dreamy techno landscapes and driving, visceral rhythms. Inspired by medieval intricacy and the raw energy of techno, the EP blends timeless detail with bold power for a sound that feels both grounded and new.
Opening the EP, Kemokoji feels like tracing footsteps in a forgotten cathedral, its dreamy undertones pierced by the clarity of a resounding kick. Acidic tingles and delicate bell-like tones echo through a vast sonic expanse, creating a hypnotic allure.
Progressive and charged, 133HP takes the listener deeper into a heady, big-room soundscape. Thick kick-bass interplay and a hypnotic momentum carry an almost trance-like progression, evoking surreal dancefloor delirium.
Run Into The Void plunges into the abyss with pounding kicks and acid slabs that shimmer and rebound through reverb. A rattling percussion rhythm emerges in the drop, adding urgency and weight to the void’s relentless pull.
The EP’s most ferocious offering, Drums of War, marches forward with rapid-fire intensity. Its churning acid lines and melody-inflected synth grooves strike a balance between brutal and sublime, conjuring images of ancient battlefields set to an unforgiving techno pulse.
Lifka transforms 133HP into a towering remix that highlights its dreamy origins while pushing tougher, rattling percussion to the forefront. The drop flirts with classic, infectious motifs, making it both familiar and refreshing.
Nika Key’s take on Kemokoji delves deeper into its atmospheric core, amplifying its bassy kick and expansive synth reverbs. A distinctive steel-bell hat adds texture and character, resonating like a distant, metallic chant.

It's time to introduce you to a new and exciting artist on our label imprint – FANK. Until now, his work has been audible through his masterings of other artists on Inherit Records, and now through his own productions as well. His tracks blend super groovy drum tracks with atonal and seemingly hollow elements – all crafted into masterful arrangements. The sparse, yet repetitive use of vocals grounds the pieces, making them accessible not just to enthusiasts but to a wider audience. 

In a more interpretive than classical remix, Human Safari skillfully incorporates even an acoustic instrument. These Driving Deep Tech Grooves are guaranteed to get every foot moving, whether on the dancefloor or at home.
