Detroit Techno DJ Mixes

Dear Friends🚀🥁,

We wish you were here, there, or anywhere to celebrate with us 25 years of Cocoon.

On our birthday, the big 25, we have a special present which please share and enjoy with us.

Sven went boldly where no one had gone before and created Cocoon. And we have never stopped - until the world did.

The 30th April 1996 is where it all began. This has to be the right moment to present the very first bit of our, let’s say it, influential history.

We hope you love it as much as we do. Just click, then wish us a Happy 25th Birthday, press play, and of course, turn it up. We miss you
❤

COCOON 1996 Remastered mixed by Sven Väth

LA-based DJ and producer, @truncate, delivers a heavy hitting workout for the next edition of the Junction 2 mix series. 
 
One of the flag bearers of the West-Coast electronic scene, David Flores has been an ever present force since his inauguration in the 90’s. Orbiting the stripped back, deeper, raw sounds of techno as Truncate, he boasts unremitting praise from household staples including Ben Klock, DVS1 and Modeselektor. His latest release, Sketch, in collaboration with techno great James Ruskin, is a cultivating taster into Truncate’s sound palette: high-powered, punchy and cutting-edge techno.

Junction 2 Mix Series 015 - Truncate

RØDHÅD RECORDED AT 909 FESTIVAL 2022
Saturday 28 May 2022 ▪ Amsterdamse Bos

THE STORY BEHIND 909 FESTIVAL
Ever since day one 909 Festival has gone above and beyond to put together a well-balanced musical program. Playing a major part since the early beginnings have been three simple basics; celebrating the pioneers, inviting fresh quality artists and supporting the locals.

COOK UP YOUR 909 RHYTHM
The festival pays homage to the iconic Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer that came to define house and techno music as we know it today. We created an online version of the TR-909 drum machine, making it available for everyone with an internet connection on both mobile and desktop.

In the history of germany's night clubbing there are a few spaces that are probably held in higher regard than Ultraschall. Munich's gone but not forgotten famous ULTRASCHALL (june 17.1994 - january 31.2003) used to be the Southern German metropolitan’s wildest and most open-minded venue for techno and other game forms of electronic music like House, Future Minimal and IDM. It finally became one of a few real German techno club legends till today. The driving force(s) behind all used to be Peter Wacher (Disko B records) also known as DJ Upstart, Captain Reality and David Süß, where the whole world league of Techno and House DJs used to play at this club. 

"I will never, never forget so many great nights there. If you are listening carefully to this mix you can hear the people there scream." Psycho Thrill founder Claus Bachor "played here regularly d2000 magazine and Psycho Thrill club specials since 1995 like 'Detroit Pandemonium' 2gether with our buddies Roland Casper, Mick Wills, Derrick Thompson or Thomas Barnett alongside Ultraschall residents like DJ Hell, Lester Jones, Dominik Schuster or Acid Maria."

Starting with DJ Bone's "Black Lives" (Subject Detroit 001) the mix features a fast and hard driven - typical for this time on Techno floors - pandemonium of Detroit Techno or Planet Detroit rooted tracks by iO (Erdem Tunakan, Gerhard Potuznik, Herbert Gollini, Patrick Pulsinger), Twonz, Dark Comedy (Kenny Larkin), DJ Bone (Subject Detroit), Yanu, Ontoni, Kevin Saunderson (Reese Project / E-Dancer), Claude Young, DJ T-1000 (Alan Oldham), Convextion (Gerard Hanson), Model 500 (Juan Atkins), The Vision (Robert Hood), Anthony 'Shake' Shakir, Keith Tucker aka K-1, Jeff Mills (Millsart / X-101), Vapourspace (Mark Gage), Designer Music (Carl Craig), Vainqueur (René Löwe), LFO vers. F.U.S.E., K-Hand, Blake Baxter, X-102 (Underground Resistance), Plastikman (Richie Hawtin) amongst a few others ...

The three-hour live recording was fortunately backed up to three TDK-60 tapes and left to the "Psycho Thrill" crew thanks to 'Frau Gabi' (responsible for the light & visual animations at the  ULTRASCHALL). While the first tape was already digitized quickly by Emanuel Geller (SALZ MUSIC-Mastering)in 2000 and was also given as a free-give-away "Detroit Pandemonium (a tribute 2 Detroit)" mix CD to the Cologne Psycho Thill clubbers, the second and third tape temporarily disappeared into the turmoil of a divorce and a resultant move. Recently, a fortunate circumstance owed again, those these "lost recordings" will be ready soon either for the Soundcloud download here. So here's one more Psycho Thrill / ULTRASCHALL (Tanzdiebe) recording from 2003 ...

Here's a recording of my Live Set at Festival Forte made using modular synthesisers and hardware machines. It's a bit rough in places, but you can hear the music being created and destroyed as it's happening and I love that most about performing improvised live sets. So I wanted to share the recording with you.

Awakenings Podcast #089 - Sterac

@ben-sims has been one of my favourite DJs for over twenty years and sets the standard for mixing techno records. I have been buying Ben’s records since the late nineties and he has always been one of those ‘buy-on-site’ producers. His legendary labels like Theory, Hardgroove and Ingoma set the standard for driving, hard, funky tribal techno. His disco-infused techno releases were always one of my favourites to play back in the day (and still are!).

I still have my copies of Ben’s mix CDs – Escapism Part 1 & Part 2, Welcome To My World and Fabric 73. Mixes I studied as much as I enjoyed and listened to on repeat. Listening to Ben mix has always made me want to get better at DJing and for that I salute and respect him to no end.

Anytime I have seen Ben live, it has been a real treat and a humbling education in the art of mixing.

Warehouse Manifesto presents: BEN SIMS In The Warehouse

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
Selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
House music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
You're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
Desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
Our house and our house music. And in every house, you
Understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
Is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!
- Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers -
