Absolute don of the Dutch techno scene and club internationale for the past two decades, Amsterdam’s Steve Rachmad alias Sterac does us the honour of taking over this week’s Rinse show with two hours of his impeccably curated, straight-out addictive floor hoodoo recorded at Rhythm Theory, Manchester. The man with countless legendary slabs for Tresor, 100% Pure, Delsin, Mote Evolver et al. under his belt goes all in with a palatable gradient of versatile grooves, spanning the broadest part of his love for jazzed-up house, off-road techno, Latin hip-swayers and other Afro-futuristic machine funk. Tune in for a full-fledged masterclass from the one and only Mr Rachmad.

Ben Sims - Run It Red 001 (Jan 2015 / NTS Radio)

This is a recording of my full vinyl set at home. :)

One thing I’ve learned about vinyl mixing is the importance of embracing imperfection. I feel satisfied with simply blending two records, especially when the transitions come together seamlessly. When I first started learning vinyl mixing, I would book time on the turntables at a record store in Taipei called 有種. It was there that I met many talented DJs and producers who inspired me. I spent countless hours practising, immersing myself in the craft. That’s how my DJ career began..

Now, every home session feels like a step forward. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress!

Vinyl mixing has taught me patience, precision, and the beauty of the imperfect moments. I’d love to share a bit of my journey with you through my home practice. The transitions may not always be flawless, but every mix brings me closer to the art I love. 💞

Full Vinyl Set @ Home Session

US-born and Berlin-based, Dustin Zahn has been a force in techno’s global underground for over two decades. His sound is punishing yet precise—big-room power shaped by hypnotic loops, sharp sound design often layered with haunting vocals and an unshakable sense of momentum.

With releases on Blueprint, Rekids, and his own imprints—Enemy Records and the American-rooted Abiotic Recordings— Zahn’s output is consistently high-caliber. Behind the decks, from Berghain to basements,  his work is a masterclass in high-impact techno that never sacrifices depth.

For Podcast #243, he delivers a 2.5-hour journey that doesn’t let up. No compromises. Just techno.

Vault Sessions #243 - Dustin Zahn

An affection to vinyl at an early stage is most probably the best precondition to become somebody finally ending up playing those vinyls for people. Somebody with a musical background. Somebody picking the right record at the right time. Somebody serving and educating people at the same time. Somebody being called a DJ. 

This fascination for records, starting in the mid 80's as a collector, and later on in the early 90's as a DJ still is burns with Alex from deep inside. After years of touring th world, from Europe to Australia, Asia to America and back and all over again, and playing at countless clubs and festivals with a complex, digital setup, Alex decided to return to vinyl as a statement and confession to the basic art of Djing. Why? Because he can. And because of the fact that it`s the music that counts. It has to be seleced by the DJ, carefully curated and played on spot. It`s the music which has the impact on the visitors of the club or festival so that their reaction scales the intensity of this particular experience. It ́s the music which is the key element for a good performace and which has to be supported by a good, powerful soundsystem, a fitting surrounding and the technical way it is.

Wünsch has been an influential figure in the electronic music scene for over twenty years with an arsenal of unique sonic trademarks produced with high precision. His distinctive energetic and cyclic techno, already featured within his sound palette, and a subliminal Soul component have become his trademark. With 2 Albums and more than 100 releases on various labels such as PoleGroup, Soma records, Infrastructure NY, Semantica, Children of Tomorrow, Token, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Theory, Music Man, etc…including a variety of remixes, he has become a worldwide reference in his field. Proof of his production skills can be seen on his remarkable remix CV, working with the biggest names in techno (Surgeon, Regis, Mike Parker, Reeko…), and most recently artists such Funk D´void and Percy X from Soma records, etc. Wünsch’s hardwork has earned him a position on the line ups of the best clubs and festivals all over the world. With an impeccable career, this international artist has made a name for himself with dark and abstract atmospheric sounds, becoming one of the producers, whose name has appeared all over the world on the labels and charts of other great artists. Christian was one of the founders of Polegroup, and he was also one half of the ´Spherical Coordinates´ with Oscar Mulero. His labels Tsunami Records and Nine are indispensable parts of any respectable record collection.

Peter Van Hoesen - HATE Podcast 131

Modularz chief exec Adrian Sandoval, alias Developer, punches in the series with an addictive session of trampling 909-driven manoeuvres and deep swing aerobatics for the heads. A true master of techno in the richest, most acutely hypermodern sense of the term, the US-based producer stays true to his signature mix of AI-endowed electronics and unflinching floor traction. Expect a wild session of circuitous beats, modular sub-plots and raging machine thunder.
