IAR387 - Ricardo Garduno - From The Tool Vault

En la arquitectura sonora de T.A.T, el techno es el espacio de tensión que te sumerge en la pista de baile pista. Desde la capital, su propuesta oscila entre lo industrial, el minimalismo profundo, la crudeza del vinilo y una selección hipnótica cargada de texturas y mucho Groove.

Con un recorrido que la ha llevado de las cabinas de HOR en Berlín a referentes del circuito bogotano como Videoclub, Octava, Antisistema y Radio Berlín, T.A.T ha consolidado una identidad musical donde el vinilo es tanto herramienta como manifiesto. Cofundadora del colectivo Nyxxia, impulsa la presencia femenina en el techno y expande su visión estética a una línea de ropa inspirada en la industria y el imaginario sonoro que habita sus sets.

Sounds from Beyond the Seven Lands
[Digital]

Sounds from Beyond the Seven Lands is a boundary-pushing compilation uniting 16 visionary Hungarian techno producers, each shaping the local underground through their own distinct sonic lens. The title takes inspiration from Hungarian folklore, where “beyond the seven lands” evokes a gateway into tales of wonder and mystery, a fitting metaphor for the immersive soundscapes unfolding here.

From hypnotic grooves and driving rhythms to raw, textured explorations, this V/A highlights the diversity and vitality of Hungary’s underground. Each track feels like a passage through unseen terrains, bound together by a shared spirit of innovation and cultural resonance.

Mankind - Black Sheep Shift [BRV007]

With over two decades behind the decks and five years diving deep into production, Darren Abela has built a sound defined by precision, groove, and an unshakable sense of identity. His journey started young, driven by pure passion and a hunger to understand the craft from every angle. Today, that experience shows in every transition, every kick, every moment he commands the booth.

Darren’s influences run deep. He draws inspiration from @bensimsofficial when it comes to the art of DJing, and from @chlaer_ for his production approach. Both artists reflect the qualities Darren values most: consistency, authenticity, and evolution. For him, success isn’t just about skill; it’s about showing up every day, refining the craft, and staying true to what feels real.

While many chase trends, Darren takes a different path. He focuses on pushing his own sound, exploring new layers of intensity without losing his essence. His sets are built on energy and flow rather than what’s popular, a philosophy that keeps his music timeless and his performances unforgettable.

He holds great respect for the artists driving Malta’s underground scene forward. Over the years, he’s collaborated extensively with @yazminn.______ , witnessing her evolution into a refined DJ and an emerging force in production. He also acknowledges the exceptional work of @patient_dj Human Safari, @kyle.cortis , @scythe.mt , and @georg_mt , artists who continue to push creative boundaries both behind the decks and in the studio, shaping the island’s sound with genuine passion and dedication.

For Darren, the most rewarding part of it all is simple yet powerful:

“When you can take full control of the crowd.”

That’s when everything connects – the years of practice, the love for the sound, and the shared energy of the dancefloor. It’s that moment of total synergy that fuels him to keep pushing forward.
