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.

SPOKEN103 - Ambu Bambu

Groningen based DJ, producer and friend of the collective Ambu Bambu's music tells emotional stories of wanting to belong, yet fated to a destiny of floating in between. Urgent and rhythmic, with the occasional moment of lightness and release, their selections and productions span realms from breakbeat and bass, to dubbed-out fuzziness and oddball house and techno tracks just weird enough to make you doubt their genres.

Their welcome appearance in the Dutch underground scene is illustrated by key performances at DGTL x Boiler Room, RAUM, and Down The Rabbit Hole. Explorations into scenes abroad have been made, with appearances in Brussels, Berlin, London, and their fully self-booked The Motherland Tour through China. At the same time, they’re tethering through residencies at @relateradio and @sisu_crew.

Enjoy the mix!

The following series was founded to acknowledge producers for their influence on shaping the sound in the electronic music genre while simultaneously showcasing the distinctive musical style of each artist, featuring both released and unreleased music in an all-original podcast format.

K92 aims to reintroduce a sense of mystery surrounding artists by bringing back the focus on the music itself and creating a blank slate for listeners to develop their own interpretations. As a result, the sets on this platform do not include any press photographs or biographies. Instead, each set has been personally signed by the artist to complete their signature sound.

Coda Mix 050 - Cailín

A new week gives us a new opportunity to dive into our past editions of UNFOLD. Today, we bring you Rorschack’s (@rorsch-ack_closer) set from Edition LXXXVIII, coming just as the sun set in our Main Room.

Showcasing the CLOSER founder’s affection for the deep, this genre-defying set from the Italian artist fused elements of fast-future techno and hypnotic psytrance into something unmistakably his own.

First shared with those in attendance last December, this set can now be brought to the world this morning.

‘UNFOLD LXXXVIII - Rorschack (LIVE RECORDING)’ is now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Perfo is the 450th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

This mix is an attempt to cover and condense what's been on my mind, shaping it into a coherent narrative - a sort of speculative history of imagined futures. I wanted to reward patient listeners with something that gradually unfolds, something that at moments feels eschewing and idiosyncratic, playing with tone and rhythm in ways that contrast trends. 

The story is propelled by this sense of futurism that has always existed in our music and our culture, while being firmly rooted in history's oldest instinct - forward motion.

SPOKEN104 - Giri

Up next in the series we have Giri, the Neapolitan DJ and producer who discovered electronic music composition at a very young age through a video game: Music 2000. From that moment on, he simultaneously pursued his passion for synthesizers, sound design, DJing, and vinyl collecting.

The artist has a natural inclination towards the darker and more industrial frontiers, such as the second wave of Detroit and ’90s/2000s UK techno. These influences shaped his distinctive deep sound, built on complex, intricate structures and driven by a powerful groove and rhythmic intensity.

In 2019, the first EPs under the name Giri were released by Evod, Awry, and Prophet, and in 2020, he founded his own label, Antiterra Records. A year later, in July 2021, he released his first concept album, Antichthon, a 19-track project, on the label that had influenced him the most over the years: Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, as part of The Escape Velocity project.

Giri caught our ears with his ominous and sci-fi-inspired releases on labels such as No Signal, Immaterial.Archives, Molecular, and many more. His hypnotic percussion and eerie synths give you the urge to lock in and drift away.

For this mix, he went for ballsy rhythms with an intimate edge. From meticulously crafted layering that transports you far away, to broken patterns that feel like industrial machinery engineered to make you move.

Enjoy!
