Takaaki Itoh - HATE Podcast 352

Sam Coates took to techno like a diligent pupil, falling in love with the genre through labels like CLR in the late '00s. It didn't take long for the student to surpass his proverbial teachers. Almost immediately, the Manchester native was putting out pitch-perfect, functional techno records with everything intricately balanced. The requisite move to Berlin only sealed his fate as a future techno luminary, and by now, based in Kyiv, he's one of techno's most reliable, yet exciting, workhorses. Setaoc Mass records (and those on his label, SK_eleven) are minimalist but colossal, deceptively simple but not easy to pull off. 

We've praised him in these pages for his "sense of economy—how to get the hardest impact out of just a few elements," and that's the idea behind his RA Podcast as well. Put together from records old and new, and intricately layered, Coates's mix is like a time-travelling wormhole connecting disparate eras from techno, and highlighting the genre's most timeless attributes: mechanistic rhythms, careful pacing, rudimentary melodies made out of the strangest sounds and, of course, the power of the bass drop. It's hard to imagine anything that sounds more capital-T techno than this mix, which is a high compliment. It's easy to hear why his records and DJ sets are only more in demand from techno heads across the geographical and generational spectrum.

TAKAAKI ITOH - iN Podcast 018 [live cut from iN 6.APR.24]

Live recording at Basilar Festival 2024.
Phara playing live under his 'In Glass' moniker, using the Korg Electribe EMX-1.

The recording is made with a Tascam DR-40.
Unfortunately I didn't use the right settings and only used the internal microphone which I found out afterwards, but loved the aesthetics of the recording.

P.E.A.R.L. & Phase Fatale - HATE Podcast 417

For some time now, Irish DJ and producer Sunil Sharpe has been honing (no pun intended) his skills as a formidable floor destroyer, putting out a string of memorable burners for the likes of Works The Long Nights, BPitch, MORD or his own imprint, Earwiggle. Delivering his implacable two-hour missive through blends of breaks-laden rhythms, frenzied machine talk and murky, weatherbeaten ambiences, Sunil Sharpe boggles the mind and knocks senses askew, not letting loose on his astonished prey - understand the odd raver bracing themselves for the blast incoming. Unless they’ve already bashed their skull in the system’s facade and got to taste the visceral high of sound flowing through their body. You think it’s an image, but the man is a literalist.

Reclaim Your City 632 | Sunil Sharpe

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy! 

Rene Wise @ Open Ground | Closing Set | 22/02/2025

At the peak of our longest event to date on Saturday, January 18th 2025, a NYC-based selector stepped into the booth at Masada to tell a story: a journey of tension and release, brimming with emotion and passion, a romance that lingered in our memories long after. We are beyond thrilled to mark the 100th instalment of CLOSERcast with none other than Holden Federico’s live recording of his 3-hour Masada set, to immerse ourselves into that beautiful, graceful and moving experience once more.

Philly-born, New York-based producer and DJ Holden Federico is dedicated to reimagining techno by pushing its core elements to bold new extremes. His productions carry a driving low-end energy, rich thematic layers, and dub-infused detailing, all underpinned by grit and soul. As a DJ, he weaves together diverse textures, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for techno’s roots, shaping a modern dancefloor experience that balances the physical with the emotional.

Joe Ellis - Freerotation 19  live recording

Recording of my live set from Room 3, Saturday 6th July 2019! I built this set from scratch for the festival and thoroughly enjoyed the process! To play at Freerotation has been a huge milestone for me which I had dreamt about since first attending 6 FR ago... The energy in that room was like nothing I have ever experienced before and I think the recording captures it well! Hope you enjoy! x

Blasha & Allatt Live at Freerotation 2019

Techno, house, electronica, ambient, generally music that has more than a passing thought behind it.

I am still working on some fresh beats. Don't get too excited, but I might one day soon finish another tune, just warning you. 

Additional work on:

Pickulia from deaj-music and k'rin
Beauman's B'day from Pilau
BMO Stag from SL6, Swn, Bristol Crew et al.
