For our 232nd podcast we are happy to have Circumscums live recorded opening set for RØDHÅD @ Apollo Toronto 05/17/2024. Circumscums have quickly made their mark on the Toronto underground scene; sharing bills with Ben Klock, Seteoc Mass, Rrose, Rene Wise, and more. They recently made their US debut at the Techno Snobs parties in Phoenix and will be playing at the iconic The Great Beyond Festival later this month.

As the founders of Paradox, their passion for dance music and culture shines even when they’re not behind the decks. Bringing the likes of legends such as Wata Igarashi, DVS1, Truncate, Dustin Zahn and DJ Hyperactive, a no photo policy, and creative venue transformations with top-tier production, these are “iykyk” parties that are raising Toronto standards and turning it into a global techno destination.

The enigmatic Myles Sergé is a low-flying techno producer, hard-working label head, and uncompromising DJ — though he prefers the term “reclusive perfectionist.”

His sound strips techno down to its rawest form. Bypassing the melodic classicism of Detroit, Sergé pushes toward a stark, European-leaning minimalism, all while channeling a machine-funk energy that defines both his DJ sets and productions.

A regular guest at Berlin’s Tresor, Sergé has also performed at Berghain, Griessmuehle, and ://about blank, alongside his residency at Steevio’s Freerotation Festival in Wales. His transatlantic presence bridges the US underground with Europe’s most revered techno institutions.

Through his own labels — (MS) and Calder City Development Corp (CCDC) — Sergé has built a platform for uncompromising techno. His productions have also appeared on respected imprints including Ilian Tape, Thema Recordings, and Dan Curtin’s Metamorphic.

Beyond the club, Sergé co-hosts (MS) LIVE with D-KNOX on YouTube, alongside long-time collaborator and Sonic-Mind Records frontman Donnell Knox, where the two explore the deeper layers of techno culture.

Always in the shadows but never far from the forefront, Myles Sergé remains a rare figure in modern techno: elusive, relentless, and fiercely dedicated to the craft.
