Techno Heartbeat

Duality, the project of Sean Bautista, explores the tension between contrasts — old and new, analogue and digital. His sound is deep, percussive, and bass-driven, balancing refinement with experimentation. Duality’s sets move fluidly between hypnotic and textured, revealing a love for complexity without ever losing the groove.

This mix was recorded at home using Technics SL-1200s, Pioneer XDJ-1000s, a DJM-450, and a fresh batch of records alongside a few digital finds. Originally submitted to the BCCO X SoundCloud New Faces programme, it became an experiment in letting go of perfection and trusting instinct. 

When invited to re-record it for BCCO Main Mix Series, Duality chose to keep the original — a reflection of honesty, spontaneity, and freedom in sound.

From Mars 001 - Winter Mix - Berlin 25

Stuttgart producer, sound engineer, DJ and label owner Andres Klein started his 4th artist alias in 2013 when he fell in love with Techno and House. After already having careers in other music genres with other aliases he named it Ackermann, knowing if he really wanted to make this one work as well he has to put in the work and grind (to 'acker' means working hard in german slang) hard for this alias for it to make sense. Fast forward to today, with a massive string of releases on labels like Uncage, Rekids, Hotflush or his own imprint Safe Space and his mastering and mixdown works as Studio Pflug he became a household name in house and techno and shows no signs of slowing down.

Ackermann [ I tried to showcase as much of my upcoming house productions as possible and embedded them in some of my alltime fave house tunes for this mix. ]

SEVEN Mix 048: Ackermann

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Indian Techno scene : ARJUN VAGALE (Axis, Odd Recordings, MindTrip Music).

Widely celebrated as the pioneer of techno in India, Arjun Vagale continues to steer the course of the country’s underground electronic movement. Known for his intense, driven and raw sound, Arjun is one of the most prolific artists to come out of Asia, and his cutting-edge productions have seen massive global reach. Receiving numerous awards and named one of “Asia’s finest underground music exports”, Arjun is an artist, DJ, producer, live act, label owner, radio show host, and all-round music entrepreneur.

2021 saw Arjun release his debut artist album "Exit Fragments" on Jeff Mill's AXIS Records.
The LP received several accolades including the 'Best Albums of the Year' by Mixmag. Boldly moving away from a major mainstage career at a time when his erstwhile live act, Jalebee Cartel, was sharing headlining spots with The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy and Modeselektor, Arjun followed his love for the counterculture by traveling into darker, more experimental terrain. Always inspired by the sounds coming out of Berlin, he based many summer tours out of Germany before moving to New York and finally settling in Goa. Arjun’s knowledge and use of technology on stage is unparalleled, and he innovatively wields drum machines and modular synthesizers to create an electrifying atmosphere. His ability to literally ‘move’ a dance floor, not just play to it, has brought him to legendary clubs like Tresor, Womb & Paradiso, and prominent festivals such as Awakenings, BPM, Sonar, ADE, Fusion, Sunburn and Supersonic, playing alongside the industry’s finest.

His productions have truly put him, and India, on the electronic music map. Early tracks like “She Said” and “Terrakoz” were championed by Hawtin and Dubfire, and subsequently licensed to compilations by Carl Cox and John Digweed. Remixes soon followed for Danny Tenaglia, Victor Calderone and Dave Seaman. Now signed to Axis Records, REKIDS, KEY Vinyl, his previous releases on Drumcode, SCI+TEC, Tronic, and Planet Rhythm have received worldwide acclaim, and his signature sounds are regularly played at DC10 in Ibiza or Berghain in Berlin.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

About Tresor Berlin
At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future.

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.

The Shift Series Mix 001 - L'Ombre

New SPND20 Mixtape just landed - @gina-demarchi in control. ⚡️

Born and raised in Buenos Aires and now resonating across Europe’s underground, Gina Demarchi has carved out her own lane between groove, intensity, and drive. A resident at Argentina’s iconic Fungi, she’s been leaving her mark on floors from Tresor and RSO to HÖR, Rote Sonne, and beyond.

Her SPND20 Mixtape is a hypnotic ride at high speeds - maintaining groove and character while hitting with full force. It weaves tribal, hardgroove, and dub techno with flashes of hip-hop-inspired vocals, a nod to DJ Rush and other icons who shaped her expressive sound.

Recorded the purist way: two Technics MK2s, a Xone 92, and nothing but vinyl. From the very first second, Gina flips expectations - opening with something completely unexpected before locking into full-speed motion. It’s fast, magnetic, and unmistakably her.

Turn it up, lock in, and let the rhythm take over. 🖤
