TM8 Q: What's your dream venue to play at?
A: "My dream venue right now would be Fold in London but for a peak time set! I've played a warmup set there in October and the space seems super promising."

Düsseldorf-based DJ and producer Valerie Ace is artist no. 38 to feature in our podcast series. Since the German artist released her debut EP "Glitzer Vs Hass" on SPFDJ's label @intrepidskin in February, Valerie has dived head-first into music production. Follow-up releases on @mamatoldya and @malaadh have snaked into her discography, amplifying her lithe sound within the technosphere. Valerie also heads up her own label, @hardwon-label, where she has shared more of her work alongside a release by Morocco-born producer Vel. In 2022, Valerie soundtracked FOLD, ÆDEN and broadcast her first Boiler Room from Berlin. Next year, she'll return to London for a specific event…somewhere in Tottenham. 👀 Keen to experiment and create her own sound designs, Valerie pays close attention to detail, whether she's DJ or producing. Her searing mix for us reflects this approach to a tee.

MUCASSA AT UNDISCLOSED VI - 17.06.23

The power of the last full moon in Gemini, the quintessential sign of communication and connector of all beings, allowed me to finally express myself through music.

A podcast series named after the egyptian God, Osiris - Egyptian culture is by far the culture I feel most amazed by, it is more than inspiring and powerful. Osiris, god of death and rebirth and the flood cycle of the Nile, on which Egypt depended for its agricultural fertility.

Death and rebirth - something as powerful as reincarnation, as powerful as music. The power that music gives us to make us feel alive again after any fall, or to accentuate happiness.

Osiris also symbolises the most important source for the Egyptians, the flooding of the Nile, which I also attribute to the importance and effect that music has on all human beings.

Lenz - Filtrum Series 014

Lenz’ zijn passie voor techno vloeit voort uit illegale raves, deze liefde voor de undeground leidde tot de overstap van de dansvloer naar de dj-booth. Stijlistisch staat Lenz haaks op de huidige technotrends, waarbij hij de nadruk legt op hypnotiserende patronen en donkere sferen. Zijn stijl van driving techno heeft hem tot een vaste waarde in heel Nederland gemaakt, waarbij hij zijn voeten heeft gezet in clubs zoals Paradiso, Club Atelier & Club Basis.

Zijn trackselectie behoudt een sterke invloed aan de klassieke jaren van techno, waarbij hij veel invloed haalt uit tijdperk van de jaren 2010 - 2019. Het stapelen van meerdere lagen van driving grooves is zijn handelsmerk, waarbij hij een percussieve overload presenteert die de danser in een andere dimensie zuigt.

Naast het draaien, is Lenz ook mede-oprichter van het collectief De After, wat hem in staat heeft gesteld om zijn visie van de underground verder te presenteren, te beginnen met een uitverkochte editie in Club Atelier, gevolgd door meerdere edities in Club de With & Noordwaards.

It's hard to overlook Maxime Iko, a regular on the techno scene, as comfortable in production as behind the decks and now under the guidance of the techno label B.Pitch. From an early age, he sparked the Parisian night within the Cockorico collective and their Bal'con nights from Rex Club to Badaboum, rubbing shoulders with his favorite DJs and quietly fine-tuning his skills. He now proudly represents the rave and queer scene, from Paris to Berlin: you can encounter him alongside Ellen Allien for the WE are Not Alone events, and recently in a very noticed set for the open air Wonderland. He serves up a mental and brutal techno with acid comebacks that oscillates towards psytrance. His latest track is a must-listen and he also excels in remixes as recently with Skorri for his release of remixes from his EP GOAHEAD!   Whether in warm up or peak time set, in b2b or in production, from lavish clubs to the most odious squats, he delights in all disciplines. Each of his appearances is an ode to the night, a bit like at midnight, when you blow out your candles, with excitement you catch your breath to finish in style. There is that in Maxime Iko, a joy of excellence, a hypnotic connection with the rhythm.

Difficile de passer à côté de Maxime Iko, cet habitué de la scène techno, aussi à l’aise à la production que derrière les platines et aujourd’hui sous la houlette du label techno B.Pitch. Très tôt, il étincelle la nuit parisienne au sein du collectif Cockorico et leurs soirées Bal’con du Rex Club au Badaboum, côtoie ses djs préférés et affine tranquillement ses gammes. Il représentante aujourd’hui dignement la scène rave et queer, de Paris à Berlin : on peut le croiser aux côtés d’Ellen Alien pour les soirée We Are Not Alone, et dernièrement lors d’un set très remarqué pour l’open air Wonderland. Il sert une techno mentale et brutale aux remontées acid qui oscille vers la psytrance. Son dernier track est à écouter de toute urgence et il excelle aussi dans les remix comme récemment avec Skorri pour sa compil de Remixes de son EP GOAHEAD !   Que ce soit en warm up ou en peak time set, en b2b où à la prod, des clubs fastueux aux squats les plus odieux, Il se plait dans toutes les disciplines.  Chacun de ses passages est une ode à la nuit, un peu comme à minuit, lorsqu’on souffle ses bougies, avec excitation on reprend sa respiration pour finir en beauté. Il y a des çà chez Maxime Iko, une joie de l’excellence, une connexion hypnotique avec le rythme.

This month in the mix we bring a familiar face from the London scene to the series, LIVID

Hailing from the southern outskirts of Rome, in the peri-urban Infernetto (Italian for Little Hell), Livid’s upbringing has been marked by dissonant echoes of urban decay.

Artistically inclined from a young age, her practice explores a multitude of mediums, combining visual and sonic excursions as she weaves her life into her work. 

Her professional experience in the fashion industry informs her strong visual identity, drawing inspiration from avant-garde designers and injecting it into every aspect of her creative endeavors.

As an extension of her visual projects, while studying at the University for the Creative Arts, Livia ventured into music, eventually establishing her presence in the warehouse scene in London. 

Musically, she takes elements from a variety of genres, infusing her recent exploration of techno with the gritty sounds that soundtracked her youth - mainly punk, grunge, and industrial noise.

Livid's sound is marked by a distinctive blend of throbbing beats, razor-sharp tones, and dystopian soundscapes - an alchemy that transforms darkness into a symphony of defiance. She finds beauty in imperfection, power in dissonance, and elegance in rebellion.

Having performed in a multitude of London’s most coveted venues, her recent engagements have led her to the renowned Unfold and Klub Verboten, with an appearance at the highly anticipated Mord showcase at FOLD on the horizon."
