Paris based DJ/Producer Benales is something of a veteran act in his native city of light. He’s played at Laurent Garnier’s Rex, the much-missed Concrete as well as La Station and Berlin staple Tresor. Since the 90s’ twilight years he’s crafted and perfected a raw and utilitarian stripe of techno that’s seen him share the spotlight with the likes of DVS1, Steve Bicknell and James Ruskin. Those references should give you an idea of his sound’s direction of travel, a deep order of ascetic basslines stripped of frills as the Motor City intended. And that goes for his productions too: with names like Construct Re-Form, Sino, Freddy K’s KEY Vinyl, Mitsubasa and Analog Solutions a few of the labels putting out his work (and there’s more in the making). His keen ear and feeling for crowd have earned him an eager audience over the years, and reputation as a go-to for organisers of legendary clubnights Europe-wide. If you’re curious and looking to let yourself fall under his spell, this latest dose of nefarious and wall-shaking beats has you covered. Bassiani Podcast 196 is steely-eyed techno geared for long-haul raving, 100% commitment to the cause required.

Reclaim Your City 576 | Dold (Stockholm)

One of Sweden’s most monitored prospects within the techno realm, Dold has been making waves thanks to a stream of boundary-pushing rippers for the likes of KEY, Float, MindTrip and his Arsenik label this past couple of years. Adding his playful spin to the gridlocked tech continuum, Dold - real name Patrik Eriksson - embarks us on a bumpy, unrelenting ride across jagged IDM scapes and electroid reliefs only he knows the path to. Enter a trip bound to have you headbanging to a never-ending assault of heavily trippin’ four-to-the-floor, arpeggiated zen-like cascades of sound and other nimble junglistic pleasures, perfect to keep everyone guessing what the next bar holds. Keeping it fresh no matter what.

BINÄR PODCAST 030 // OPH

While the term „binär“ (engl.: binary) always had a clear meaning in itself, there are nuances depending on how it is applied.

In short, it stands for duality. Anything that’s binär can be broken down into two parts. One element is followed by the other. Our digital world is founded on Binärcodes, the predecessors to our computers, smartphones et cetera ran on 0s and 1s.

Applied to music, most of electronic music is binär. It builds up slowly, one element is followed by the next, a hi-hat comes, a synth is replaced with quietness, which is followed by bass.

And while this formula works for most of the spectrum, it’s not limited to one genre in particular. The label called BINÄR is founded on this idea of terminology.

Yet, in society, it stands for the idea of binary genders - male and female - this might be the most popular definition of the word binär. We believe there’s more to it, and as the Binärsystem works, it could also emphasise the cultural shift we’re currently in - ideas of society get updated by something new, something broader, something more welcoming, open, non-binär.
