Here's the 2,5 hour recording of my closing set at Illegal Romance this summer. I really enjoyed playing this and have really enjoyed listening back to this set. The vibe at these events are incredible and I think you can honestly hear that through this recording. It really shows what I like to convey in my sets lately and it's been a while since I've posted something by myself, so I thought it'd be a good time to post it :)

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

This mix is a sonic metaphor for the sunset: a moment suspended between light and darkness, calm and tension. The sunset symbolise this mix for me, an inner journey where the light slowly fades to give way to a darker, more mental kind of techno.

✈ 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

PARADOX PODCAST #208 -- JON HESTER

Knife presents Sunil Sharpe for the 200th podcast in our series.

Sunil Sharpe is one of Europe's most renowned and well-loved techno DJs. Gaining an enviable reputation for his DJing in the early '00s, he was soon inviten to play at Berlin's Tresor Club, marking the start of an intensive involvement in the techno scene. Sunil has played extensively
around Europe at the likes of Berghain, Fabric, Concrete, Sub Club, Glastonbury Festival and much more. He was also DJ of choice on the first two Karenn European tours, the last of which was marked by his now classic Boiler Room set in London.

Known primarily for his fast-moving, skillful style on the decks, Sunil's reputation as a producer of raw, individualistic techno, has grown in tandem with his reputation as a DJ. To date he has appeared on labels such as Works The Long Nights (aka Sheworks), Black Sun Records, Rave Or Die, Trensmat, Mord, Inner Surface Music, Violet Poison and many more. Sunil also recently setup
On The Hoof, a label dedicated specifically to his own productions and collaborations with friends.

Sunil makes up one half of Tinfoil alongside fellow Dublin-based producer DeFeKT. Initially forged as a studio partnership in 2014 (and more recently as a live show), the pair have since racked up an impressive catalogue of 12"s on their own self-titled label. Additionally, Sunil runs the wonderfully erratic Earwiggle imprint that has built a dedicated following, releasing new names and old heroes into the battlefield.

Sunil's application to techno and the scene in general, pushes far beyond the standard
DJ/producer mould. Enjoying a long stint in pirate radio from his early days of active DJing, Sunil joined national station RTÉ 2fm in 2007, where he has since offered up a monthly mix of new music. The show has also been characterized by in-depth interviews with the likes of Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Blawan and many others.

Sunil has also devised a new format for playing/reviewing new music in "The Quarterly Crate". Now in its third year, the hugely informative video series supplies a special insight into his most recent vinyl acquisitions.

Nino Blink - Savage

Avant.OCS creates raw, hypnotic techno that balances intensity and depth. His mixes flow as carefully built journeys where heavy low-end grooves meet fine textures, and tribal rhythms meet spacious atmospheres. As founder and resident of OECUS, he’s helped shape the collective into a respected name in forward-thinking techno, curating over 400 podcasts and releases that emphasise community, discovery, and strong sonic identity. His own productions, including the concept-driven Prototype series, explore contrast and tension, turning subtle evolution into powerful movement.

This mix showcases a deep, atmospheric sound that still carries punch and drive. Built with patience and precision, it focuses on texture and flow rather than peaks, with a few unreleased tracks that hint at where his sound is heading next.

BCCO Mix Series 714: Avant.OCS

BCCO × BODYSHIFT for Trans Awareness Week 2025

For Trans Awareness Week 2025, we’re spotlighting trans and non-binary artists with a special SoundCloud mix series curated by BODYSHIFT. Each set is an invitation to listen with an open heart, to care, and to act with intention.

Awareness means listening, amplifying, and protecting what’s vulnerable and too often unheard. When dignity is debated, we choose action: book, pay, credit, platform, and protect trans and non-binary artists. Visibility matters. Joy matters. Safety matters. Let’s make all three non-negotiable for the future leading to Trans Day of Remembrance on 20th of November.

Hige thanks to all five artists this week and to @bodyshift for the colab and curation.
