The production style is a direct reflection of his roots, weaving gritty textures with hypnotic periodicity., that evoke a world where techno meets intricate industrial loops
“Music is fantasy,” he says, “and every track is a chance to build a new dimension.”

Martyn Playfrd - Invisible Drama (Original Mix) [LVM27017]

Focalin channels the spirit of a ceremonial dancefloor, crafting a sonic experience that feels deeply personal yet universally resonant. His Jazz and Classical training breathe life into an exquisite fusion of texture and structure, marking his debut on LVMINAL with a timeless and elemental nuance. The result is a dynamic interplay of organic intensity and polished minimalism, embodying both raw energy and refined sophistication.  

The tracks echo the vibrancy of 90´s club culture while venturing deeper into meditative territory, letting the intro pulse with primal intent, unfolding like a ritual. The percussive elegance creates a trance-inducing foundation and cascades through dimensional richness that is compositionally poised. 

Deeply textural yet uncluttered, a vibrant flow of architectural finesse.   

 Play it loud.

KONTUR Podcast 09 - TRUXX

For our next release, we are so excited to present to you, for the first time, Body Snatchers b2b Ezrela!

For those of you who don’t know them, they are an iconic techno couple hailing from the north of England, both paving their way individually but always supporting each other’s journey. 

Body Snatchers has already established himself as a prominent producer with releases on labels such as Ear to the Ground, Isaarn and Khazad. As a DJ, he’s a resident for Høl, which is arguably one of the most established collectives up North but he’s also known for bringing his distinct sound to the capital with a particularly iconic performance at Unfold which was one for the history books. He’s recognised by many of the greats for his technical ability and he is someone to watch out for!

Ezrela is slightly newer on the scene but an emerging talent for sure. She is fresh off the back of a debut for Høl and Structure in Liverpool, and already has a few gigs under her belt. With a love for dancing, she’s taken that passion behind the decks to deliver grooves to get you moving. Other notable performances include a feature for Glue Liverpool, which is another growing party with a great ethos. 

We wanted to celebrate this iconic musical couple together, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

013 - TEMASA

(interview below)
Temasa is a Hamburg based Techno DJ and Producer. As Resident of the renowned nightclub [PAL] he already made his way on the radar of the scene. In 2023 he launched his new event series 'NEOGEN' which focuses on emerging artists, who represent and rethink the genre's primal themes.

INTERVIEW
Tell us about your beginnings - how did your journey into music and DJing start?

My musical journey started very early - I started playing different instruments at the age of five. So music has always been an important part of my life. When I was 14, I discovered electronic music - especially minimal techno, dubstep and drum and bass. These genres immediately fascinated me and inspired me to become active myself. That's how I eventually got into DJing.

How do you envisage your sound developing over the next few years?

My sound is currently characterised by hypnotic, driving and groovy techno - and this core will remain in the future. At the same time, it's important to me to constantly evolve. I always want to have new influences to keep my sound modern and lively, without losing sight of the classic basic themes and the essence of techno as a genre.

If you could design your dream night - line-up, venue, vibe - what would it look like?

My dream night is not a classic headliner event. I really like discovering new artists and being surprised - that's why I appreciate parties where the line-up is carefully curated and up-and-coming acts are deliberately given a stage. If you avoid big names, the entrance fee can also remain more affordable, which in turn gives more people access to the event. I also like it when new venues are opened up or I can get to know new clubs. This mixture of openness, curiosity and community vibe often brings with it a very special energy and makes for the perfect night for me.

Öspiel is the 440th guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

A deep dive into the mind of Öspiel: this recording captures a raw and uncompromising live session, sculpted including some of his yet unreleased material and sound design experiments. Driven by razor-sharp loops and a restrained cinematic tension, the set unfolds with a sense of eerie precision — mechanical yet emotional, forceful yet controlled. Ferocity, grain, and hypnosis converge into an intense narrative that pushes the dancefloor into a mental space where instinct meets abstraction.

It’s techno as architecture — constructed, deconstructed, and rebuilt in real time—a dense, unrelenting journey through Öspiel’s evolving sonic landscape.

Jack Fresia | Vault Sessions x BASSIANI, Der Hintergarten | 31 MAY 2025

Franco Biglieri returns to Warm Up after his Black Tourmaline EP from 2022. This time he serves us eleven cuts digging deep into profound techno realms. The sonic voyage starts with Reflexión, a slow paced, heavy reverberated exercise ideal for setting the atmosphere in a proper club environment.

Voces means a transition to sci fi territories, more alien, a little bit faster than the previous cut and surrounded by shuffled rhythm elements and textures.Things get busier on Falla Gravitacional, again exploring into outer space, pushing the intensity further, adding distortion to the groove and deepness to the atmospheres, blending the physical and the mental into one entity.

El Títere is a radical twist in style, the main sequence goes crazy from the first bar, reverberation is boosted and the beat is submerged into the abyss. Paralizado explores gummy and elastic textures, increasing the hypnosis and releasing the pressure from the previous cut. Profound and diffused but still aimed at the peak time hours in the dancefloor.

Encarnación Interna follows, keeping the reverb wash as an integral element, adding obsessive sequences and precise percussive work to create a feeling of travelling through a black hole somewhere in space. Espíritu Danzante preserves the same approach, as a logical sequel of its predecessor giving way to an alternative version of El Títere.

El Ojo de la Tormenta keeps the pressure alive, with a relentless asymmetrical sequence as the main motif, twisted and mangled wisely over a complex rhythm programming.

El Presagio is probably the most aggressive slice of the sonic voyage, fast tempo, drilling synth riffs and again lots of reverberations and texture all mashed into a well done arrangement,

Finally, Surface Culture slows down the machinery, providing the perfect construction tool using well crafted dub chords and liquid atmospheres. 

Tracklist:

01. Reflexión
02. Voces
03. Falla gravitacional
04. El títere
05. Paralizado
06. Encarnación interna
07. Espiritu danzante
08. El títere (Original)
09. El ojo de la tormenta
10. El presagio
11. Surface culture
