Set the Mood with Yunhee!

The Set the Mood series proudly welcomes its 55th guest: Yunhee.

For Yunhee, a perfect opening set is like the overture of a musical. It gradually builds tension and emotion without rushing into a climax. Her focus lies in gently guiding the audience across the floor, maintaining a sense of suspense and interest while allowing each moment to unfold naturally. The energy should evolve smoothly, inviting people to move and lose themselves in the atmosphere, right on the edge of deeper immersion.

As an artist, Yunhee believes in the power of drawing people into her emotional world through music. Her goal is to create immersive, dynamic experiences that move both the body and the mind. For her, dance is not just physical. It is a mental journey where freedom and curiosity intertwine.

In this set, Yunhee opened and closed with the spirit of Bernardo Parmegiani, an artist she deeply admires. Through this tribute, she aimed to craft a mysterious and richly layered mood.

As rich sonically as it is in social commentary, Marteka Fair's latest techno EP is a perfect fit for the budding discography of VAST.

Marteka Fair is from North Carolina, and the American DJ and producer is a key part of the local scene co-creating Liminal Space, a live concert series with visual artist Fluxxss that merges sound and image into a shared, sensory environment. She has not only appeared on club and festival line-ups alongside Rrose, Rødhåd, DVS1, and Bloody Mary, but also lists releases on Berlin's W133, Infra, and Maison Fauna, while being behind the A&R for VAST's releases.

The Life After Internet EP consists of four tracks along with remixes by Bekkler and JAK. It draws inspiration from a time when the information revolution lay at our fingertips, promising what seemed at the time like a utopian frontier of human connection.

Bekkler is a Berlin-based artist who is co-founder of Backhaus Records and resident at its affiliated event series, Backhaus Kollektiv, as well as gracing top labels like BCCO and PRTL WRX.

JAK is the SubSensory label boss from Portland, Oregon with over 20 years of industry experience. From hosting legendary events, to playing around the world, he includes music on imprint's such as Ricardo Garduno's Illegal Alien, Mike Derer's Northern Parallels, and Angel Alanis' Slap Jaxx.

"Lucid Thinking" communicates loudly and clearly that this will not be a forgettable record. Present and accounted for are all the tried-and-true hallmarks of specialist techno, but an inventive synth melody snaps the listener’s train of thought into the moment in a way that only the most skilled producers are capable.

No momentum is lost by the time "Access Denied" cues up. From its otherworldly groove to how its sound design taunts the listener with nonverbal vowel sounds, the single stands out as a case study in pushing the limits of what constitutes techno. It doesn’t deviate far from its core motif — nor does it need to.

"Missed Call" follows with crystalline textures a la early Robert Hood, with a long section devoted entirely to the track's hollow, rattling percussion. In his rendition, Bekkler reinterprets a small sliver of the source material's experimental chord progression to instil an air of urgency sure to trigger a shift in energy on any dance floor.

Rounding out the original singles appearing on the tracklist of the EP is "Frisson." While markedly more melodic than the music preceding it, its arrangement meanders in a way that might sound random to the untrained ear. JAK expanded upon this complex emotional palette in his remix, spinning it into the lore of an exhilarating story.

Although more than three decades have passed since the advent of the Internet, mankind continues to grapple with its impacts on nearly every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Much in the same way, Marteka Fair's Life After Internet EP proves that there is uncharted territory left to explore in techno. After all this time, we've only scratched the surface.

PREMIERE | Metapattern - Stasis (Original Mix)

Support here: https://floatrecords.bandcamp.com

Stripped down to the essentials, minimalistic yet impactful. Dog on Acid is all about getting straight to the point with maximum effect. He brings a raw, unmistakable signature that’s impossible to ignore. 

His debut on Float Records comes in the form of a 7-track EP titled "When I'm Gone", showcasing his distinctive sound. The release is further elevated by two remixes from ADILR and Snaga, adding their own unique energy to the compelling originals.

PREMIERE: Dog on Acid - The ways I destroy myself [FLOAT090]

A desert moon where machines outlive their makers, whispering to one another in rust.
A planet where time fractures, each sunrise arriving from a different century. 
A soldier who returns from an astrally-projected war to find his body claimed by another pilot. 
A star that sings, pulling enchanted travelers into a perilous orbit with its voice. 
And deep within the asteroid belt, a market thrives where the future is sold by the hour.
All that and more in Amazing Worlds of Templum: Vol. I !!!

Templum begins its next chapter with Amazing Worlds of Templum: Vol. I — ten tracks from nine international producers who are shaping the direction of raw and hypnotic techno. Each contribution reflects a distinct artistic voice, drawn together into a wider tapestry of sound. The release also sets the stage for what’s to come, as Templum begins to showcase and elevate compositions from like-minded artists across the global technosphere.

The collection opens with Brooklyn-based label head Auspex on intro duties with “The Nature of Reality”—pulsing, arpeggiated sine waves dissolving into reverb baths over atmospheric drones, while a lost transmission on human perception cuts through the swarm. Gannein, Berlin-based by way of Paris, follows with “Psychic Primitive”—a grooving array of glitching metallic drums, pulsating bass, and an alien entomoid soundscape. From Spain, BØHMcontributes “Still Unclear,” a tunneling rhythmic workout punctuated by skittering chirps, like a species of strange creatures communicating through trills and warbles.

Auspex returns with “Equilibrium,” a funky dance floor heater fusing percussive groove, warped atmospherics, and chopped-and-screwed vocals. From Buenos Aires, DAS ratchets up both tension and velocity with “Desolate Abyss,” a high-speed voyage into the darkest regions of space. Ket Robinson—Berlin-by-way-of-Paris producer, DJ, and KR Records founder—takes the controls on “Drone Vision” with dense kicks, seismic subs, and risers that push tension to a fever pitch.

Brazil’s VERUAH strips things down with “Anthem,” groove-driven and direct, collapsing into a disorienting breakdown before snapping back into a sizzling cadence. India’s Audio Units, a dynamic DJ/production duo, deliver “Obsidian Nebula”—a heaving behemoth from the outer reaches, cranking the heat and applying atomic pressure.

The release closes in Brooklyn: first with the prolific BRÄLLE on “Nightly Meltdowns”—a war-hardened juggernaut hurtling through wormholes at warp speed—and finally Ramsey Neville with “Reactive Morality,” a propulsive alarm call, relentless and unyielding, signaling full speed ahead into frontiers unknown.
