Could somebody please pinch us: @luke-slater is up next for our mixtape series! 😍

The british musician, dj, producer and label owner has been around since the 1980’s, operating under countless aliases such as Planetary Assault Systems, The 7th Plain or L.B. Dub Corp just to name a few 🤯
Luke's 1997 album „Freek Funk“, as well the releases on his own label @mote-evolver have played such an important role in all of our lives and his ability to still deliver at this level after being in the game for so long, is something that inspires us and makes us look up to him 🙏

To list everything he has achieved in the last 40 years would go beyond the scope here, so without further due:

Vault Sessions #122 - Nastia

@norman-nodge occupies a special place in Berlin techno with a sound that is at once forceful, dubby and hypnotic. These days a lawyer by trade, Nodge spent the 90s as a DJ and promoter before becoming a Berghain resident in 2005. Born in East German Leipzig, raised in Brandenburg, Norman got bitten by the techno bug after the wall came down. In 1994 he started to promote several events and launched his career as a DJ. At these parties, he got to know Marcel Fengler and Marcel Dettmann and literally became their mentor for all things techno.

Marcel Dettmann eventually pitched him to Berghain’s management and he returned to DJing and became a resident instantaneously. Since then, he plays Berghain once a month, specialising in the almost forgotten art of warming up at the beginning of a night. In 2005 he also started to produce his own tracks. His maturity proved to be very beneficial in terms of his artistic vision, as he made up his mind about what he likes and what not a long time ago already. Unsurprisingly, his outings on Dettmann’s MDR label, as well as his track “Native Rhythm Electric” for Ostgut Ton left a deep impression with headstrong techno lovers. With his dusty funk, static hiss and the rich thump of his kick drums, he managed to get himself recognised as one of techno’s more unique auteurs.

Norman Nodge cites Detroit techno (Jeff Mills, Rob Hood, 430 West), Chicago House (Relief, Dance Mania) and Techno (Luke Slater, Peacefrog, Mark Broom) as his most essential influences. Hence, it is not surprising that he fuses the old with the new and the soft with the tough when he plays out. “It is my goal as a DJ to make people dance without walking on trodden paths of recent trends. I want to sensitize dancers for unusual sounds, old and new.”

Tracklist:
1) EQD - EQD10 A (EQD)
2) Franz Jäger - Joga Bonito (Malör Records)

@alienata
Alienata (Discos Atónicos / Killekill / Cultivated Electronics / Machine)
Spanish-born, Berlin-based Alienata is a self-described sound obsessive whose sets span obscure electro, ACID, dub, IDM, dark disco, jakbeat, hypnotic techno, industrial atmospheres, break beats, cosmic jazz , UK electro, Detroit, Chicago influences and crazy sounds in general. A former philosophy student with a particular interest in mysticism, Alienata began DJing in 2004. In conjunction with Valencia's Overflow Collective, she not only served as a resident DJ but also participated in theatre and music technology workshops and oversaw its label operations. Her earliest contact with Germany's music scene came through Leipzig's Homoelektrik collective, and upon moving to Berlin in 2011, she quickly found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival. This relationship helped make her a respected mainstay in clubs in Berlin, around Germany and Europe, but her international profile has been steadily increasing each year: NYC, Chicago, Sydney, Melbourne, Bogotá, Moscow. In recent times we have been able to experience its genuine style in booths like Fabric, Panorama Bar or ADE. When behind the decks, Alienata is closely attuned to both internal and external influences, and is unconcerned with providing listeners with an outstanding and energetic experience. It is not strange that legends like Dave Clarke (who recently played a B2B in ADE) DJ Stingray, Ben Sims or Ron Morelli have expressed all their support and respect for her.
With all that knowledge behind and a true love for music she decided to start her own imprint “Discos Atónicos” in 2017 where she can materialize all its varied influences, counting on legendary artists like Beta Evers, Dez Williams, Artificiero, BS-1 or Cosmic Force.

Tehran Night #374 Alienata

There’s many legendary dance floors in the world. Some we have managed to dance on ourselves. Our next guest Wes Baggaley has pretty much played on them all. From the legendary NYC Downlow at Glastonbury, to the Panorama Bar. More recently the mighty Bassiani and FOLD’s infamous Sunday party ‘Unfold’ and let’s not forget EVERYBODY’S favourite that is the Meat Free dance floor. 

Wes’ knowledge of dance music is one of the best in the game, bending through different genres such as house, techno, electro and breakbeat gear, whilst keeping the party people in a trip at all times.

We are pleased to give you a special techno infused mix from the man himself.

Wes Baggaley 051

" This set reflects my different facets - from softness to intense grooves to dark textured techno - and all the emotions, ups and downs we go through from time to time! Like a journey of self-discovery made out of moments on the mountaintops of your very existence and others in more deep and obscure valleys of our soul. All filled with music from my favourite emerging producers who inspire me so much!"

Today is Lindsey Herbert’s (@lindseyherbert) birthday, and to celebrate she has shared a new mix with us. It’s been two months since we celebrated the new year with her, so we are happy to be able to experience her intense energy and rhythms once again. 

Originally from the US, Lindsey Herbert is a DJ and producer who stands out for her ability to explore the deeper realms of techno with psychedelic elements and heavy sonic textures. She is quite involved in the scene in San Francisco, but lately we have seen her all across the map in Europe and the US.

Reclaim Your City 529 | Yanamaste (Tbilisi)

An increasingly potent driving force in today’s techno environment, Georgia has through its key clubs Bassiani, Khidi and Mtkvarze, helped Tbilisi and its surroundings shape into of the most intriguing and reliable hotspots for emerging DJs and producers. One of its most talented heralds and a surefire groove rider at that, Yanamaste graces us with a choice two hours of the entrancingly deep and bumpy 4x4 epics he’s been laying down for INNSIGNN, Lyree and Khidi in recent times. Paced-up and animal to the core, his vision sweeps an extra wide range of shades and reliefs, nimbly moving the cursor from classic Berlin-inspired blends to full-fledged magmatic trance, via Birmingham-style projections and a solid dose of folk-infused harmonics. Raw yet technical, organic with a hint of hypermodern hoodoo to it, Yanamaste’s sound is the definition of hardware techno with soul, cut to ram-raid and elevate in equal measure.

Reclaim Your City 532 | Drumcell (Los Angeles)

No need to introduce LA-based techno legend Drumcell to our cast of RYC fellows, the man’s CV speaks for itself. Hard-hitting and brainy, Drumcell’s signature is one of mixed essence, ruggedly agressive yet endowed with levels of production intricacies and future-facing relevancy that can not but command admiration, as evidenced by his background of top-level efforts for Chris Liebing’s CLR, Blank Code and his own imprint, Droid Recordings. True to his ubiquitous style, Drumcell treats us to a dizzyingly vibrant mix of high-powered, kick-heavy industrial thunder and knee-buckling bass manoeuvres, which promises to have the club door's hinges flying off and the building’s foundations shaken askew. Zeroed in on busting every damn sign of breathing, raving life in its wake.

BCCO Podcast 258: Pfirter

To relaunch his seminal imprint, Infrastructure New York, David Sumner aka Function presents his new 12", Green EP. Celebrating 27 years of Function releases this year and the label’s 25th anniversary, the label will serve as an outlet for his new material, reissues of out of print classics from Synewave, Sandwell District and Ostgut Ton (and of course, Infrastructure), as well as developing new artists and launching a long awaited Bandcamp page - exploring the annals of nearly three decades of the Function sound.
 
As a member of the Sandwell District collective, Function, from 2007 onward was instrumental in cultivating and ushering in a new sound of dark, cerebral hypnotica - forcing the hand of change in global techno. Green EP serves as a testament to this, further exploring these depths. The EP pays homage to the day when David arrived in Berlin with his green suitcase where his record “Isolation” on Sandwell District was released, hitting the ground running and spring boarding into an incredibly successful career, becoming a stalwart DJ/producer, after years as a struggling artist.
 
Green EP encapsulates the same raw power and hypnotic energy of his genre defining Sandwell District releases Isolation, Anticipation and Variance, updated with a modern flair. Subject f (Function) has clearly transcended, as expressed through the opening track “Initiation” arriving at his “New Designation”. On the b-side Function communicates his divine alignment through the broken beat, etheric “Aeternum (Meridian)”. Finally, Function closes Green EP with a live extraction of “Desire and Memory”, a brooding club stormer in contrast to the more experimental leanings of the original version, which appeared on Rrose’s label Eaux.
 
Next to releasing a new EP and restarting the label, an attached Bandcamp page and label webshop will be launched. These portals will in time see the release of previously out of stock releases as well as re-issues and unreleased Function material, next to new releases by other artists. No doubt fans will be excited!
 
One thing is clear: Function is back on track and more on form than ever!

#SlamRadio - 541 - Function (recorded at Paradigm Festival)

Portuguese techno buff Cisco Ferreira got his start way back in the late 80s as Space Opera alongside cult electronic figure C.J. Bolland, The brief collaboration set the stage for his own releases, and later those signed off as The Advent, a name he coined for the work he produced shoulder to shoulder with Colin McBean (aka Mr. G). The alliance ended a few years later, but Cisco forged ahead, developing a tenacious brand of techno that has stood the test of time, with more recent LPs distributed by the likes of Tresor, Mord and Klockworks (and a stream of releases published under self-run imprint Kombination Research). The Detroit-aficionado offers tireless, clobbering compositions, scratchy textures, and punishing mechanical rhythms to which Bassiani Podcast 172 is no stranger. This is a veteran studio mix packed with peak-hour frequencies, driving loops and a whole lot of renegade energy, enough to last for many more decades to come.
