Manchester based DJ & producer Yant (@yantmusicuk) has a reputation for his young attitude and energetic grooves.
High intensity, raw cuts and subtle imperfections in his sound act with tension to grip the mind firmly in a hypnotic wormhole excursion. Retaining the rough and original Techno sound while catapulting into the future has always been important for him. A good knowledge and understanding of the past is often hinted in layering during his DJ sets but looking to the future has always been at the forefront of his sound.
Yant has just released his second EP on Setaoc Mass' infamous label SK_Eleven.
Enjoy!

We're glad to invite Eerste Communie co-founder & resident @marron-official to our podcast series just in time after rocking his first appearance in Berghain :)

Continuously trying to exceed his own limits, MARRØN employs fast rhythmics inspired by his roots. The artist’s moniker pays homage to the strong-willed MARRØN’s, a once-enslaved African tribe who defied oppression and found freedom in the primeval forests of Surinam. The hypnotic, percussive beats characterizing MARRØN’s foundational Afro Deep style have evolved to form a singular conception of techno. His dynamic take on the genre is at home in the underground, most notably in his role as co-founder and resident of Amsterdam’s Eerste Communie. 
Enjoy :*

Welcoming NYC based @holden-federico to our 19th edition of Alphabet podcast. continuing with the raw, up-tempo rolling techno drill we all love! 

"With this mix, I aimed to make the techno mix I want to hear—both as someone on the floor and as someone listening in headphones. This collection of songs is focused primarily on theme and narrative. My primary goal was using layering and track selection to bring story and pacing to the forefront. There are lots of different textures, styles, and eras within this mix, but cumulatively it represents my definition of a modern approach to classic techno: raw, soulful, rhythmic, stripped-back, and futuristic."

@mariemontexier
Born in Germany with French origin, Marie’s preferred format as a DJ is vinyl, a crucial part of why she began DJing and collecting music. Curious about genres and styles, multi-eclectic influences informs her sound. Her sets, mainly based on breakbeat and big on UK flavor, are global melting pots where genres and edges blur; oldschool acid, tribal-scented beats and trippy techno merge here. Marie
brings a twisted quirkiness, lightening up a sometimes harsh-sounding corner of the scene.

Recorded live at Faust (Seoul), vinyl only.
