With recent releases via labels such as Slam’s iconic Soma, Berlin-based DJ and producer Lars Huismann is quickly growing to become a familiar name of note within today’s modern techno landscape. Having featured as one of the artists on the label’s debut V/A release in February, with the German set to feature as a regular across the imprint in coming months, he unveils fresh shades to his sound palette on his return to Mutual Rytm with a combination of six slick techno cuts across his ‘Sounds From The Past I’ EP.
The powerful, rolling dynamics of ‘Surge’ open proceedings as Huismann quickly sets his stall, while ‘Collison’ veers into slick, looping territories as the energy and tension are kept tight and high. Next, ‘Echo’ ups the pace as tough kicks meet zipping melodies, filtered chords and looping vocal interjections amongst a medley of flurrying percussion licks, before ‘Funk Shed’ takes cues from its title and showcases a classy blend of classic Detroit-influenced sonics guided by sweeping synths. Title cut ‘Sounds From The Past I’ brings with it flashes of serenity and peace, before erupting and spiralling effortlessly into infectious and captivating drum grooves, before closing the show via the rich yet muscular tones of final offering and digital bonus track ‘Jackin’.

Neuro spicy melodic electronic music, particularly chiptunez and 8bit bleeps. I love atmospheric floors, solid raw techno, trash punk, classic tekkno trax, bassy wobbly house, crisp clear electro, goa acid loops, breaking 'n' stumbling rolling beatz decorated by disturbing on hold elevator muzak.

Be kind & spread the Love! Peace!

Already an essential figure of the Serbian underground scene, straight out of Inđija 
(Serbia), comes Hilzna – a young force relentlessly shaping the techno landscape. 
He has already made a strong impression by performing at legendary Belgrade 
clubs such as Drugstore and Para, laying solid foundations for his rise.
Drawn to the raw, fast-paced sounds characteristic of labels like Hydraulix and 
Stay Up Forever, and artists such as Guy McAffer, Audioklinik, and many others 
who influenced his early vision – Hilzna became an active member of the Serbian 
DJ scene in 2024. He is also a part of the “Šljam” collective, further anchoring his 
presence in the regional underground movement.
Combining techno and hard groove with dark, hypnotic elements and an old-school 
touch, and guided by a philosophy of creating constant tension and an irresistible 
rhythmic flow, Hilzna leads the audience through every phase of unbounded 
movement with his sets.
His sound is both primitively powerful and precise, carrying the raw spirit of techno 
with a fresh and intense energy.
