The set was recorded live at the legendary Leland City Club. The 120 minute podcast marks Itoh’s debut performance in the Motor City and most definitely will not be his last.

Blank Code is Detroit, USA outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Drumcell, Mike Parker, Audio Injection / Truncate and many more.

The Blank Code co-founder Anthony Jimenez has also released on Mike Derer's Northern Parallels and Detroit Underground, while he has performed alongside Regis, Silent Servant and Developer. "Insurgent" is a spacey and tubular trip with warping acid and intense alarm-like, looping tones. The robotic vocal hit adds an unexpected twist with chanting sensation to this dance floor devastator.

Brian Sanhaji is a veteran producer and engineer in Berlin who returns to Blank Code, as well as having appeared on Chris Liebing's CLR, Heiko Laux's Kanzleramt, Droid Records and running the SENSOR and EgoTon labels. "Phasis" is a modular ride of freaky frequencies and crunching percussion. Bursting with energy and raw power, it showcases his fine analogue production with a sliver of experimentation.

Linear System is a Spanish artist who has released music on esteemed labels like Edit Select, Ben Sims' Symbolism and Dynamic Reflection. "Shape Shifter" is a brooding juggernaut made of raw tension that culminates in pounding, crushed drums as its main focus. Heavy and hypnotic it draws attention with its apocalyptic menace, but its ultimately a sharpened, underground club weapon.

Mexico's Luis Flores is another seasoned beat-maker who has released on Blank Code previously and also lists Ricardo Garduno's Illegal Alien, Emmauel's ARTS and Truncate's imprint. "Man Vs Nature" begins with a shuffling kick and swelling sub bass, followed by sci-fi bleeps and abstract sound effects. Almost cinematic overall, the scything synth creates a dystopian feeling of intimidating electronic growls.

San Francisco's Max Gardner has over a decade of releases and is the co-owner of Peer Audio. He has also appeared on Northern Parallels, Oktave as well as remixing Drumcell and Truncate. "Delamination" has a deep and jackin' stance from the word go, while its vitality increases from the sputtering hi-hats and fizzing touches. Steady, muted claps add even more vigour and the metallic stabs create a haunting, emotional experience.

Takaaki Itoh is one of Japan's most prominent techno artists who has released on Bas Mooy's Mord, Adriana Lopez's Grey Report, Developer's Modularz and Lewis Fautzi's Faut Section to name only a few. "Vital Blind" uses its quirky, stuttering hits to shape a spine of thumping percussion. Pulsing, modular-fuelled accents and electronic signals frame the sonic airwaves while being guided by a grungy, throbbing bassline.

01. Missing Sector
02. Strange Interaction
03. Farther
04. Elevation

Blank Code is a Detroit, USA techno outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Mike Parker, Brian Sanhaji, DJ Hyperactive, Drumcell, and many more.

The newest Blank Code recruit is Decoder with his 'Distant Beings' EP, a fellow American from Dallas who has gained many devoted supporters from having releases on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, Amotik Records, TWR72's Float, Edit Select Records, Molecular Recordings, and Science Cult, amongst others.

Beginning with "Missing Sector," a dystopian and airy soundscape of captivating rattlesnake hisses and muted tones of melody and suspense amidst a stuttering kick pattern.

"Strange Interaction" follows with an abstract approach overall, but using a solid, rhythmic beat as a pulsing constant. Static crackles create mesmerising textures and light tom drums are met with wandering waves of analogue whispers and skipping hats.

"Farther" introduces deep and looping modular frequencies that dance around in a sci-fi aesthetic. This sublimely hypnotic track has an ethereal quality of patience and draws influence from dubby and atmospheric styling.

Finishing with "Elevation," it instantly has an experimental vibe that seems mysterious and menacing. Cyclical mid tones create a sonic suction before phasing pulses add even more tension to this esoteric adventure.

Blank Code Podcast 173 – DJ Hyperactive live @ Scene 23
On September 8, 2014
We are excited to have DJ Hyperactive back on the podcast series with this 3 hour set recorded live from Scene 23.  The event took place on July 26th, 2014 at the Works in Downtown Detroit along side artists Angel Alanis and Deraout from Colombia.  DJ Hyperactive was born and raised on Chicago’s South Side. Rocking vinyl for over 30 years and soon jumped in the studio at the start of the 90s. His early output surfaced on his own imprint, Contact Records, along with releases on pioneering labels such as Drop Bass, Communique, Sounds, Analog, UC and the list goes on. In ‘97 DJ Hyperactive headed west to kick off the opening of Higher Source Records & Gear in Huntington Beach. This move also marked the start of 4 Track Records (now 4trk). After nearly a 20 year run in Los Angeles, he decided to return to Chicago and set up camp again.

After seeing chart topping success of Len Faki’s remix of Hyperactive classic “Wide Open” on Len’s Figure label and the release of his 25HRs in A Day ep with Raiz and Markus Suckut remixes on Los Angeles based Droid Recording run by Mr. Drumcell. Hyperactive’s current focus is set on a list of remixes and the re-launch of 4trk (vinyl + dig). Recent remixes include reworking of “The Word” by Luis Flores on Detroit based Blank Code Records and remix of Impact Unit’s “Silent Steps”. Upcoming remixes list consists of Manic Brothers “Sledge Hammer” on Sian’s Octopus label, Andre Morant’s “Signals”, and co-remix of Beltway w/Submerge both to see release on 4trk!

Blank Code Podcast 157 – Kyle Geiger
On May 19, 2014
This week we welcome back Kyle Geiger for his second mix on the Blank Code Podcast.  He certainly is no stranger to the international techno arena, with releases on heavy hitter labels such as Drumcode, Soma, Perc Trax, and Droid.  Refusing to rest on his laurels, Kyle continues to push the boundaries of his sound through the creation of his own label known as Cubera.  Kyle is not a producer first, DJ second, but chooses to look at both aspects of DJ and production as a whole; one is not complete without the other.

Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings the techno sound featured on seminal labels from the late 90’s, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a more accessible, groove based sound. Still loving the energy and power of the more straight forward side of techno while embracing the genre’s changes, Kyle has refined his productions and DJ sets into what very well may be a new breed of soundscapes that pushes things forward for the next generation of techno to come.

Blank Code Podcast 154 – Brendon Moeller
On April 28, 2014
When it comes to post-Basic Channel dub techno, Brendon Moeller is one of the go-to guys.  Since leaving his native South Africa for New York City in 1993, the dub technician has been proudly laying down his musical legacy on labels like Astralwerks, Mule Musiq and Six Degrees Records; working with revered vocalists like Paul St. Hilaire, Mikey Dread and Mutabaruka and fomenting relationships with scene institutions like Fabric, Berghain and Francois K.

Since then, the dub landscape has been for ever changing at his hands: sometimes under his own name, sometimes as Beat Pharmacy (almost exclusively on Francois K’s Wave Music) and sometimes as Echologist, he is behind seven full length albums to-date, each of which has breached the musical boundaries of what went before. Taking cues from jazz, techno, dub, afrobeat and psychedelia, Moeller’s aims are simple.

Listen to his music – or that which his label, Steadfast, has so studiously released since 2009 – and you’ll understand that Moeller’s music has a knack for making you think whilst you inescapably give yourself over to its infectious grooves, and his most recent Ecologist album only confirms that: Subterranean is a deeply experimental record that explores a throbbing, swollen underworld of subconscious sounds which, in its conceptual referencing of everything from shoze-gaze to ambient to rock, marks Moeller out as an essential pillar of not only the dub techno community, but of the electronic music world as a whole.

Blank Code Podcast 196 – Altstadt Echo
On August 18, 2015
Praised by SPIN Magazine as bringing the “avant-garde element to Detroit techno,” 26-year old Altstadt Echo has made an immediate impact on the American techno scene in his early years. After performing at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in 2014, Altstadt launched his own experimental techno label Modern Cathedrals, announced by Resident Advisor with a front-page feature article. In addition to having his original works remixed by legendary techno artists such as Terrence Dixon, Donor, and Jeff Derringer, he’s shared the stage with notable figures such as Regis, Silent Servant, Vatican Shadow, Rodhad, Luke Slater, and more. But he hasn’t limited himself to production and performance; over the last two years, he’s organized an astounding sixteen events in the Detroit area (three of which were given the distinction of being Official Movement afterparties) featuring headliners ranging from Rrose to Shifted. Further branching out, Altstadt Echo is the founder of techno-focused web magazine Dub Monitor, which has served as a platform for interviews with artists including Speedy J, Lucy, Oscar Mulero, and more. In 2015, he looks forward to releasing two additional EPs on his own label (in vinyl and digital formats) and performing at the Great American Techno Festival in Colorado.

ART.1.43 - DJ HYPERACTIVE #282

Vegas born. Built from small rooms and borrowed gear. She's played more awful rooms than she can count. Slamming a full live rig together in twenty minutes and making it work. Charisma? Not her thing. That's why she's loyal to the underground, the outsiders, and anyone who's been told they don't belong. No gatekeeping. No velvet ropes. Just music and the people who find it. Shared the bill with Nina Kravitz, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Rodhad, Dax J, and Takaaki Itoh. You might have to know someone to know who she is but when you see her, ask for a sticker.

www.northernparallels.com

We’re excited to share a new Northern Parallels Podcast from Project 313, recorded live at Bar Américas in Guadalajara, Mexico on August 23, 2025. This special 6-hour set captures the raw energy and atmosphere of the night, showcasing the unmistakable sound of Detroit’s own duo.

Project 313, the creative collaboration of Chad Parraghi and Nick Bien, has been shaping the techno landscape since the late 1990's. Over the years, they’ve performed at countless events alongside world-renowned artists including Oscar Mulero, Dasha Rush, Sandwell District, Polygonia, Reeko, and many more.

Their productions have found homes on respected labels like Northern Parallels, Illegal Aliens, System Records, and their own imprint Blank Code. With appearances and features on platforms such as Boiler Room, Movement Detroit, and Resident Advisor, Project 313 continues to push forward with their deep, driving, and uncompromising sound.

Episode 240 brings a transmission from Decoder, the Dallas-based artist crafting hyper-minimalist body music with a distinct sci-fi sensibility.

Through releases on storied labels like Axis and Molecular, as well as modern outposts such as Blank Code, Float, AMTK+, and his own imprints Codec and Toca Records, Decoder has shaped a sound that feels engineered for deep space — stark, rhythmic, and precise.

His work has drawn the attention of techno’s most forward-thinking figures, including Jeff Mills, Rrose, Amotik, and Richie Hawtin, the latter bringing him on an international tour spanning North America, Europe, and India. Decoder’s performances at venues like De School, Fold, and Watergate reflect his alignment with the more experimental edges of the genre.

This mix is not just a set — it’s architecture in motion. Sparse, physical, and charged with tension. All of the tracks featured here are unreleased material by Decoder, offering an exclusive preview of what’s to come.

Echoføn is the project of Detroit producers and Blank Code co-founders Chad Parraghi and Corbin Davis. Their music pulls from the roots of Detroit techno while folding in the energy of drum & bass and the complexity of polyrhythms, giving their tracks a sound that feels both raw and forward-looking.

Through their work with Blank Code, Parraghi and Davis have long been part of Detroit’s underground, building spaces for artists and pushing new ideas into the scene. Echoføn is a natural extension of that—two voices combining into something new, but still grounded in the city that shaped them.

Their first release, the Empty Space EP on Modern Relics Records, has already picked up support from artists like Polygonia, Kangding Ray, and Forest on Stasys, marking an exciting start for what’s ahead.

Label: Blank Code

Artist: Declan James
Title: Levitation
Release Date: Tuesday 16 December 2025
Format: Vinyl & Digital
CAT#: BCR015

01. Pendulums
02. Levitation
03. Transmutate
04. Absolved

Blank Code is a Detroit, USA techno outfit that have released music by artists like Bas Mooy, Mike Parker, Brian Sanhaji, DJ Hyperactive, Drumcell, and many more.

Texas-based producer Declan James runs the VOIDWARE imprint and events, also listing music on labels such as Edit Select Records, Max Gardner's Peer, drxvo's Synergie, and Secus' Rituals amongst others. The Dallas native is making a significant contribution to the upcoming generation of American techno producers with both a domestic and international touring schedule.

Beginning with "Pendulums," a classic sci-fi trip with modular bleeps amidst a slinking, bouncing rhythm section for a perfect lesson in patience and restraint.

"Levitation" has an otherworldly feeling and floats along a sparse track of swirling drones, chugging bass pulses, and classy percussion taps for a mesmerising and introspective journey.

"Transmutate" throws down a stuttering kick drum, haunting tones, and bending modular notes for a grooving yet dystopian analogue concoction.

The final track "Absolved" sees a deep dive into details and dub influences. Where eerie rattles and precision production form a memorable dose of sizzling hot, futuristic, and fantastic techno.

For episode 242, we feature Sphinx, a Detroit-based DJ and multimedia artist whose path into electronic music is shaped by years of creative exploration and deep connection to community.

What began in a bedroom in West Michigan—while studying Fine Art and Illustration—has evolved into a distinct sonic practice rooted in Detroit’s rich techno legacy. After returning home in 2021, Sphinx immersed herself in the city’s underground, drawing inspiration from its enduring ethos of experimentation, resilience, and collective energy.

Her sound blends layered percussion, acid grooves, and Detroit’s driving pulse into mixes that are both introspective and physical. Influenced by early exposure to live jazz, spiritual traditions, and symbolic storytelling, she creates sets that move beyond the functional—toward the transformational.

From stages like Movement, Electric Forest, and The Great Beyond, to this latest offering for Blank Code, Sphinx continues to craft experiences that resonate on and off the dance floor.

For episode 243, we present a four-hour set from Lorely Mur, recorded on October 5th, 2025, during the second edition of Misa de 7 at Bar Américas.

Raised in Ciudad Juárez, Lorely Mur developed her voice within the city’s early-2000s pressure cooker, a context that shaped the discipline and clarity that run through her work. Her years at Hardpop, one of Mexico’s most emblematic clubs, placed her alongside artists from across the global circuit and grounded her approach to techno in precision and intent.

Now based in Denver, she continues to expand her presence in the global underground while remaining a key reference in Mexican techno. This set reflects that trajectory, one that is direct, deliberate and rooted in experience.
Listen and enjoy.

Criada en Ciudad Juárez, Lorely Mur desarrolló su voz dentro del ambiente intenso de la ciudad a principios de los 2000, un contexto que moldeó la disciplina y la claridad que caracterizan su trabajo. Sus años en Hardpop, uno de los clubes más emblemáticos de México, la colocaron junto a artistas de todo el circuito global y consolidaron su enfoque del techno, basado en la precisión y la intención.

Ahora radicada en Denver, continúa expandiendo su presencia en el underground global mientras se mantiene como una figura clave del techno mexicano. Este set refleja ese recorrido: directo, intencional y forjado a través de la experiencia.
