A true pioneer of the European techno underground, Max Durante began his DJ career in Rome in 1987 and quickly became a key figure in shaping Italy’s early industrial techno scene alongside D’Arcangelo. His deep influence on the 1990s techno movement helped define the country’s raw, experimental sound. Today, Max is a resident at Berlin’s legendary Tresor club and was also the first resident DJ at HÖR Berlin. Known for his precision, intensity, and flawless turntablism, he continues to inspire with performances that radiate pure energy and authenticity.

This mix was created using three CDJs and a drum machine, forming a sonic mosaic that reimagines iconic tracks from artists such as Aphex Twin and Mescaline United. Max blends these with his own new and unreleased material, looping and reshaping sounds to explore the future of techno and electro. Refusing to follow trends, he stays loyal to his sound — industrial, uncompromising, and rooted in freedom.

It's time! The long-awaited broadcast of this summer's Boiler Room x Glitch Festival finally hits the airwaves this week.

Setaoc Mass | Boiler Room x Glitch Festival 2025

✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

The next episode of our Schimmer podcast series was mixed by Portuguese artist and Hayes co-founder Vil. Enjoy!

Electronic dance music and beyond.
Nuno Costa began his ventures into electronic music in 2008 with his Sinner moniker, and with it he created Warface, a local crew and promoter focused on dubstep, drum ’n’ bass, and UK garage.

In 2013 he kickstarted his new project, VIL, focusing mainly on techno. His debut EP came in early 2015, when Portuguese label Extended Records picked him up for a release. Soon after, he released on Lewis Fautzi’s “Faut Section” imprint, on the legendary Synewave New York, run by Damon Wild and Be as One records from Shlomi Aber.

VIL’s sharp taste and skillful set building have made him a staple at top Portuguese clubs like Lux Frágil and Gare, as well as major festivals. In 2018, together with Temudo and Menosdois, he co-founded Hayes, a collective and label pushing distinct sounds through vinyl and digital 
releases, now recognized as one of the scene’s most promising. Between 2020 and 2021, VIL expanded his reach with standout EPs on labels such as Ben Klock’s Klockworks and Stranger’s Self Reflektion.
