As the epidemic of nightclub closures around the city continues (London has lost around 57 venues from 2020 to 2024, which equates to around a 29% decline according to the NTIA), the few institutions that still exist have unsurprisingly become hotbeds for the city’s creative community. One of the spaces that still has that gravatational pull is East London’s FOLD. Located in Canning Town, the nightclub/arts space/community venue has seen thousands pass through its doors since its opening in 2018, many of which have been inspired in its hallowed halls, further exemplifying the importance of the club as a cultural space for community, idea sharing, and inspiration. 

One of the newer artists to enter the fray as a result of this club’s influence is Italian-born, London-based DJ Desireé. Her sci-fi-inspired sound encompasses transcendental and hypnotic rhythms which guide her listeners on a spiritual journey through physical means. 

Though she began her foray into electronic music just under three years ago, Desireé has quickly developed her craft by connecting deeply with the sounds of the dancefloor and practising empathic listening, tuning in to what other DJs are orchestrating in the moment. Her approach has already landed her gigs at some of the UK’s most respected underground venues, including FOLD and Corsica Studios, as well as featuring on Tresor’s launchpad program New Faces back in 2023. 

Alongside her rising DJ career, Desireé is also a part of Polyritmica, a cross-country collective with roots in both London and Rome (the former being its home base for parties, and the latter serving as a base for its bi-monthly residency on independent station Rough Radio). In addition to this, she also helms her own project, extraterrestrial.desire, which was born and created for exploration of her ambient, sci-fi, hypnotic, and experimental influences. 

In her mix, Desireé shares 69 minutes of pulsing, tribal, and hypnotic techno inspired by the dance floors that shaped her.

Kaan Pirecioglu - Tech Clubbers Podcast #420

Rosie draws on twenty years of dancefloor experience to deliver hypnotic, dark and trippy techno journeys that build in intensity. Typically found front row with her fan, she now channels that same energy behind the decks, having played for events including Filth and Høl, at Manchester institutions like Soup, The DBA and Stage & Radio. Her sets are immersive, built for heads-down dancers and long, late nights.

"Techno genuinely just makes me happy - whether I'm bopping round my kitchen, or surrounded by mates on a smoky dancefloor, I absolutely love getting lost in the music."

Vault Sessions #274 - Patient

New SPND20 Mixtape incoming - @phlbrg steps into the vault.📼
The Berlin based artist has carved out a sound defined by precision and depth. His EPs on SK_eleven and Phorum stood out for their puristic design and meticulous detail, while releases on HAYES and Frenzy showed how far he can push tension, atmosphere, and raw drive without losing clarity. As a resident of Vault Sessions and a regular at Bassiani, Basement NY, Tresor, RSO, Radion and more, Phil’s sets have earned a dedicated following: timeless, rolling techno with an edge that keeps the room locked for hours.

His SPND20 Mixtape captures that spirit. Starting in deep, hypnotic terrain, the mix slowly tightens its grip before rising into more energetic territory. All arranged with seamless flow and sharp instinct. A few unreleased cuts of his own appear along the way, adding another layer to the journey. Dark. Focused. Puristic. A signature Phil Berg session - tune in!🖤
