Description: Live recording of part of my set for Out Rage Records at the legendary Tresor Club in Berlin [14/06/2023]

Let's dive into this late September podcast, and yes, of course it had to be him this month. Give it up for the Polish & Warsaw-based: Sept (@septonly).

Techno is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Sept. He has been always far away from the mainstream beats. His DJ sets and live acts are a musical trip, and his sound has continuously evolved, always staying true to his Techno roots. In addition, Sept shows a broad delicate mixture of darkness and light, creating a sonic musical journey that took him to play in the most respected clubs around Europe and South America...

In 2015, the ball started rolling when he was involved in the organization of the "Lost Pool" parties located in an abandoned pool area. Later on, in 2016, he started co-organizing an event series called "Bóg Jest w Techno" (eng. The God Is In Techno @bogjestwtechno) which hosted names like Ansome (@myansome), Perc (@perc), Regal (@regalmusic), Boston 168 (boston-168), stranger (@whoisstranger), P.E.A.R.L. (@p-e-a-r-l), Kangding Ray (@kangding-ray), Ossian (@ossianuk), Remco Beekwilder (@remco-beekwilder) & SNTS (@sntsrecords).

Production-wise Sept has been releasing on respected Techno labels since 2015, being "Path EP" his first release on Voxnox Records (@voxnoxberlin). He also released two EPs in 2016, Runaway 27 on Flash Recordings (@flash-recordings) and Artefakkt (@artefakktmusik) on Sonntag Morgen Records (@sonntag-morgen-rec).

Furthermore, Sept has been showing his broad spectrum of sounds in clubs like Griessmuehle (Berlin, now @revier_suedost), Rote Sonne (Germany, @rotesonne) and Myst Warehouse (France).

His sounds have been published on greatly respected podcasts like Reclaim Your City (@reclaim-your-city), Slam Radio (@paragraph), The Brvtalist (@thebrvtalistxx), Synoid (@synoidberlin), HATE (@hate_music), The Forgotten (@theforgottenrec), Monument (@monument-podcast) & Oecus (@oecusmusic).

Intercell.044 - Sept

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Introversion

The 25-year-old Berliner by choice which defines himself as a producer, sound designer, and DJ is part of the new generation of young talents gaining a foothold in the electronic music industry by shaping it with his own pioneering style.

In terms of producing, drums play a significant role in Introversion’s compositions (it was the first instrument he laid his hands on in adolescent years). Many are breakbeat focused – not just the odd track here and there, it is definitely something that permanently defines his style. Other common denominators in his work are the continuous exploration of infusing furious dark 90’s inspired techno with melancholic trance elements. Drums in full attack or wild synth stabs often get calmed by an emerging wave of classic trance chords finding their way into the arrangement. The way Introversion carefully picks out and introduces these old school-components, not being scared of their effect upon incorporating them, is what makes his tracks sound fresh and invigorating.

As a DJ, Introversion creates a diverse combination of tracks originated from hard, forceful techno. His sets mainly consist of new or unreleased material, drawing inspiration from 90’s and 00’s techno, rave and trance, alongside bridging a way to well-selected classics. To find the right balance for the journey, the emphasis lies as much on seeking out the track with the perfect severe kick drum, as well as the one containing the right atmospheric moment: “I love to play melodies and harmonic stuff, not just drum jams. But always quite hard”.

Enjoy!

DE AFTER PODCAST 017: ILLIYA KORNIYENKO
 
Born in Ukraine and raised in the Netherlands, Illiya is an artist heavily inspired by the quintessential sound that characterized techno in the early to mid-2000s. Illiya’s productions present driving, mechanical, and saturated grooves within the framework of modern techno. 

The juxtaposition between the past and present is evident in his workflow. He uses classic hardware such as Roland’s 303 and Mackie mixers to carve his unique sound, often recognizable by warm, analog-laced drums and textured atmospheres. Illiya continues to innovate as an artist, bringing a fresh, immersive depth to his productions and DJ sets.

Expect a journey exploring the darker edges of techno.

Recorded at @truxx666 their label-event of @sinespace7
