The past few years, I dedicated myself to producing Electronica, even if I always was and still am a techno-rooted artist. But since I began having gigs again, my desire to produce techno resurfaced. I am currently working on new demos, and I would like, until I finish them, to show you the sound direction I am heading. These are just snippets and draft ideas, not finished tracks. After years of production, I developed a few techniques that represent my signature sound, though the production journey never stops. I am always gonna evolve. See u on the dancefloor.

Our latest Belucast features Enkō, a Lisbon-based artist whose sets are all about depth, groove, and precision. With a background in sound design and years of experience behind the decks, Enkō draws from a wide palette—bridging hypnotic repetition with finely crafted textures.

As the mind behind SUMMA and a resident at Basilar Festival, he plays a key role in shaping the pulse of Portugal’s techno underground. His work extends beyond the booth, with releases on labels like HAYES, AWRY, BCCO, and SUBOSC, as well as an active role in event curation and editorial work for some of the country’s leading festivals.

His mix for Belucast is a patient burner—layered, detailed, and deeply physical. Now streaming on SoundCloud.

INFO:

Unmistakable are the sonic experiments of Spanish alchemist ORBE; with this fresh release on Token. ORBE’s iconically viscous textures and impactful percussion weasel their way into ‘Ascender’ for a deeper release on Kr!z’s label. Thick, brooding atmospheres drive these tracks into stories of pursuit and escape throughout its four tracks.  

A slick, pulsating low end in ‘Flashback’ stands out as a first impression for an imposing EP. Electric leads zip by for maximum psychosis; he’s known for his uncompromising dissonance and drive. A staple of the Spanish scene, ORBE bites down hard on deep and hypnotic techno to resonate through concrete warehouses. This jagged edge to club music continues through ‘W9Y’ - a more drum-forward cut with noisy transitions and breathable synthwork. Sharper stabs occupy this space as opposed to the track’s predecessor and tension is maintained with a lingering pad in the background. A meditative conclusion for the A side, ORBE quickly shifts his attention in the titletrack ‘Ascender’. Emphasizing tone and tune on the kick, the lead comes with confrontation. Rolling through shifting hats, the producer brings boiling tension through minimal arrangement and the weight of his sound design - a skillset only the most seasoned artists can claim. To close things out, ‘Break Nation’ does just that - cutting off the traditional four/four rhythm and instead presenting itself as a bass stepper. With ORBE’s classic unison packed synths, this dweller presents a whole other perspective on ‘Ascender’. A hybrid of influences and yet still destined for the techno dancefloor, this breath of fresh air serves as deep dive into the subconscious for an eyes-closed experience.

MAUER (@mauerdj) – DJ, music producer, and the creative force behind SENSOR Records (@sensorrecords). He began his musical journey as a music producer, composer, and songwriter. From an early age, he explored a wide range of musical styles, but it was the pulsating allure of techno that ultimately captured his heart.
MAUER’s passion for techno was born during his first pilgrimage to the legendary Berghain many years ago. In each of his sets, one can hear echoes of Berlin’s electrifying club culture.
MAUER’s selection is defined by atmospheric, hypnotic melodies that draw the listener into a deep musical trance. This is complemented by a distinct, pulsating bassline that gives his sets energy and a solid rhythmic foundation.

As the third release from my new label LMLTD, I present "Dilemma," a mini-album of five tracks I've been keeping to myself for several months, which I've now revised and "updated" to what I call "my current sound" (though it's constantly evolving). Many thanks to Richie Hawtin for testing them out at various events around the world recently. They seem to be great for the liveliest dance floors: Hard enough, raw, and fast (all five tracks play at 140 BPM), but that doesn't mean they don't include my hypnotic side. Regardless of how "danceable" a track may be, and even though Techno is often mistakenly considered a type of "dance music", I strongly believe that every production must convey a mood, creating an evocative atmosphere. I do believe I did it this time too!
