KSR015 - Gianluca Caiati - Origins

Written and produced in 2014, Gianluca Caiati brings back the unique, elegant and timeless sound of dub-techno. Pressed on a striking blueberry-colored 10'' vinyl, this record effortlessly blends depth and freshness into a sound that feels as relevant today as it did over a decade ago. A true collector's piece, crafted for those who appreciate sophisticated grooves, immersive atmospheres, and the warm touch of analog.

KSR015 - Gianluca Caiati - Origins

It’s always our pleasure to welcome a new artist onboard, this time the chosen one is VSK a skillful producer from Rome with a plethora of releases on the best labels out there, causing a solid impact on the scene since the early 2000’s.

As is our tradition lately on Warm Up the album format is how we can showcase the artist’s whole sound palette and this Polarization LP truly does.

Like a game is the beatless opening track, the sound of an imaginary spaceship aligning its machinery. Once all is set up Ethical design starts the movement, combining a broken groove with assorted bleeps and hi pitched frequencies, setting the pace for The evil speech a track stepping directly into the dancefloor with a solid groove and white noise washes swinging along.

Tension division penetrates mind and body with piercing continuous sequences and a relentless rhythm while Limitless increases the pace and goes one step further in hypnosis with a more intricate arrangement.

Polarization introduces gummy and elastic sounds on the equation, maintaining the anabolic groove, now almost industrial, providing all the necessary elements to create a peak time monster.

It could be the end keeps the energy untouched, at a higher BPM rate becomes an orgy of white noise and sub frequencies, again created to demolish any proper sound system out there as well as Extreme close up, bringing nothing but heat to the collection.

The urge for dance stops suddenly with Don’t think and don't speak, acting as an interlude to the last cut, Veloce come il vento, a sibilant and roaming spiritual drone to close this sound voyage.

Japan’s Risa Taniguchi returns to Chris Liebing's CLR. The ‘Break It’ two-tracker marks her fourth appearance on the label.

Tokyo’s Risa Taniguchi returns to Chris Liebing’s CLR with the ‘Break It’ EP 29th August 2025. The two-tracker follows her previous outings on the label, 2024’s ‘Wakes From Coma’ and ‘So Loud’, which earned support from Dave Clarke, Kelly Lee Owens, and Luke Slater, and 2022’s ‘Acid Flesh’, in collaboration with Black Asteroid.

Title track ‘Break It’ sees Kneaded Pains, Second State, Mind Medizin, and core CLR artist Risa Taniguchi open with high-intensity built around pounding kicks and a searing synth stab. The tension is palpable as icy hats and bold low-end drive forward beneath evocative spoken vocals culminating in a dark, strobe-lit roller primed to lock in peak-time floors. There’s no respite with ‘Give Me Up’, a tense and relentless follow-up laced with razor-sharp percussion, unresolved loops, and a monstrous, rumbling bottom end. It’s precision-tooled Techno, designed to hit hard, both physically and mentally.

Founded by influential techno lynchpin Chris Liebing in 1999 and reemerging in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Create Learn Repeat (CLR) has hosted a range of artists like Shlomi Aber, Dubfire, Flug, Bjarki, DJ Dextro and more while also focusing on developing newer acts in the scene such as The Southern, and Klint.

Risa Taniguchi ‘Break It’ arrives on CLR on August 29th.

Resident of @resurrection_berlin, @figments - K-H1 is a music project by Berlin-based Sergey Barinov in collaboration with Luke Mombrea. K-H1’s vision is to be boundary-pushing: weaving together pulsating rhythms and striking, tripped-out soundscapes to create a tight, yet distinct techno sound.

His sets mirror his bold production style. Oscillating between dark, vibrant, and cinematic themes underlined by heavy, driving grooves, he invites listeners to embark on a hypnotic journey together.

K-H1’s releases have garnered recognition and support from influential figures, and have graced venues such as Berghain, RSO, Bassiani, and Smolna38. Quickly establishing a unique presence on the techno scene, K-H1 is one to watch.

Duplicity 143 | K-H1

Recorded live at Demolition Berlin on July 19, 2025, this set by Feinherb captures a night marked by tension, flow, and intensity. Now released as part of the Syncast series, it offers a glimpse into the duo’s evolving sound.

Feinherb emerged from a close musical connection between Max (Maximus) and Leon (K49). What began as shared studio sessions quickly turned into a natural collaboration shaped by trust, structure, and creative freedom.

Both Artists bring years of experience as DJs, producers, and heads of their own labels and event series. Max runs Voyeuristic Disorder and is part of Demolition Berlin, while Leon curates Legion Berlin. 
Their solo styles differ – Max tends toward raw, driving energy, Leon toward big room and wide textures. As Feinherb, they find a new balance: structured yet free, groovy, gritty, and full of playful tension.

PREMIERE: Raiju Manah - Disperception

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.

PREMIERE: Save Your Atoll - Pinegrove Council [FSR010]

Harami (aka Aryan Batti) is a Stockholm-based queer DJ, producer, and founder of the music collective İBNE. Drawing inspiration from their Kurdish roots, the queer community, and the dancefloor itself, Harami’s sets are a patchwork of percussive hipworking techno, 90s rave energy, and hypnotic textures—always with a cheeky, haram twist. The motto? “As long as it’s moving my hips and tickling my brain.”
More than just a selector, Harami has played a big role in shaping and maintaining Stockholm’s queer techno scene over and underground—creating safer spaces, centering marginalized voices, and building community through sound. Since 2019, they’ve brought their booty-shaking sound to clubs and raves across Stockholm and beyond, including Berlin, Copenhagen and Vienna.
Following their debut tracks Children of the Sun (Shivers Label) and Souk Mayhem (ASHR) in late 2023, Harami is now working on new stuff to be released soon.
