✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Detroit Techno scene : ALAN OLDHAM aka DJ T-1000 (Pure Sonik Records / BPitch Control).

Alan Oldham has been called Detroit’s Renaissance Man, a true Motor City original.

From his beginnings as a member of Underground Resistance (replacing Jeff Mills), to seminal releases on Tresor Berlin, BPitch Control, Third Ear, Suspected, Elypsia Records (under his Detroit Rocket Science alias), his own Pure Sonik label and many others, to remixes for such heavyweights as Loco Dice and Ellen Allien, to his legendary artwork for such labels as Transmat, Djax-Up-Beats, New Religion, Houndstooth, Dark Entries, and more, Oldham does it all.

Under his stage name of DJ T-1000, Oldham has criss-crossed the globe rocking dancefloors from Amsterdam to London to Rome to Tokyo to Shanghai to Mexico City to his native Detroit and back to his current home in Berlin, where he holds down residencies at Tresor Berlin and Suicide Circus.

Over 25 years in the game, and Oldham remains at the forefront of both art and music.

Born and raised in Detroit and based in Berlin, Alan Oldham a.k.a. DJ T-1000 has been called “Detroit Techno’s Renaissance Man,” Not only is he the owner of the legendary Detroit labels Generator and Pure Sonik, and a veteran international techno DJ, the Detroit-born polymath is also an accomplished graphic illustrator, known globally for his iconic artwork for Djax-Up-Beats, +8 Records, Transmat, Astralwerks and many other electronic music labels.

A globally-known DJ, Oldham as DJ T-1000, still keeps to his old Underground Resistance vinyl roots. He is a veteran headliner of such festivals as Love Parade (DE), Awakenings (NL), E-Troit Festival (NL), N.A.M.E. Festival (FR), and Movement (USA). He has been a resident at both Tresor Berlin (DE) and Moog Barcelona (ES), as well as regularly playing dates all over Europe and the world, including such recent Asian destinations as Manila and Shanghai.
Oldham is also behind the Detroitrocketscience alias, which has spawned an acclaimed series of sci-fi inspired 10-inch releases and an all-digital DJ set-up that is more streamlined and modernistic than the old-school vinyl approach. Vienna, Lyon, the legendary Hammerhalle at Sisyphos, and Globus in Berlin have recently hosted Detroitrocketscience sets.

Beginning in 2011, the immensely-talented Oldham launched a series of successful, sold-out art happenings in Paris, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Vienna, and Berlin, translating his comics-inspired, techno-defining Djax-Up-Beats style to paint and canvas! His originals are owned by the likes of Derrick May, Radio Slave, Ben Sims, Steve Bug, Cisco Ferriera (The Advent), Marsel Delsin (Delsin Records), Steve Parker, Ritzi Lee, and other famous techno notables. Commissioned work, most recently for Berlin’s  legendary Dr. Motte, also fills his daily schedule.

PARADOX PODCAST #180 -- DJ T-1000 AKA ALAN OLDHAM

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Dutch Techno scene : SANDRIEN.

Amsterdam’s Sandrien is known for her versatile take on techno. From deep and atmospheric to high-energy breaks and acid; her dynamic track selection has made her a dance floor favourite in her hometown and beyond. With over twenty years in the game, there are hardly any iconic clubs and festivals Sandrien has not played. She has graced the stages of Lowlands Festival, Awakenings, Dekmantel and Draaimolen in The Netherlands, Norway’s Monument, Rainbow Disco Club in Japan and the club booths of Berlin’s Berghain, Bassiani in Tbilisi, Basement NY, Tunnel Pereira and Womb in Tokyo.

In Amsterdam, she used to be a resident of De School and its predecessor Trouw. The latter was home to Sandrien’s own techno club nights ‘Imprint’, through which she hosted a variety of national and international artists including Ben Sims, DVS1, Marcel Dettman, Oscar Mulero, Peter van Hoesen and Rødhåd. In addition, she was one of the founders of the city’s long-running LGBTQIA+ event series IsBurning.

For years, Sandrien spent her weekdays working in Amsterdam’s renowned record stores Rush Hour and Killacutz. This speaks to the imagination of her incredible record collection and musical knowledge. Her extensive library is precisely why she’s a champion of playing longer DJ sets, during which she always manages to build a solid bridge between old-school techno, and adventurous fresh sounds. Sandrien’s experience and ability to adapt to any setting also shows in her love for playing back-to-back with other artists, including DJ Nobu, Ben Sims and Philippa Pacho.

Occasionally, she likes to give the more house-leaning part of her collection a spin; high energy and acidic basslines woven together by the same solid groove her techno sets are known for.

PARADOX PODCAST #181 -- SANDRIEN

Set time: 02:00 - 05:00

Enjoy listening!

Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham and, of course, Sarajevo.
Bosnian-built and -bred Sev Dah may be a Swedish expat, but the Balkan blackness clings strongly to the bleak percussions and rigidly uneasy synthetics that unwillingly fuse into his strongly individual take on techno. Authentically purveying the pulsations of the nakedly throbbing and ugly world, far away from Starbucks and H&M. 

Signed to respected labels such as Random Island, Mote-Evolver and Kaiser's KSR, he quickly gnawed his way into the scene’s core of DJs and producers. Sev is even managing new projects on his own label Proletarijat since 2016. Like a rabid mongrel, since 1998 he has been chewing and belching new bastard beats that are aching to scream out. Consequently there’s a steaming and steady stream of vinyl releases coming.

With influences ranging from Stigmata and Mills to Master Reese and Petar Dundov, Sev Dah is a versatile but headstrong DJ that can gently ease a thumb in at midnight or fervently thrust it down the hatch at peak time.

BASEMENT introduces BASEMENT Archives, a new podcast series highlighting standout sets recorded live in the club. 

First up is the impromptu b2b2b2b from Fadi Mohem, Kancheli, NDRX and Philippa Pacho that closed out last April’s Bassiani takeover. If you were there, you know how special this night was. Ten minutes before we planned to wrap the night, it was decided that the music simply could not stop. The four artists took over the booth in BASEMENT, and what resulted was 3 hours of euphoric techno that sent everyone out on an incredible high. These are moments that can’t be planned, curated or recreated. When they happen, you pray the recorder is on and running. Thank god it was.

— @fadimohem, @kancheli, @nod-rex, @philippapacho

Since his beginnings with the Molekül label, JKS ventured into exciting artistic realms - culminating in the establishment of his own imprint "Smile Sessions" in 2020.
His sonic journey is a fusion of 90's nostalgia, creating a musical tapestry that embraces a multitude
of influences. From crunchy old-school beats to contemporary tracks, K S skillfully navigates and harnesses chaos in his DJ sets, crafting a unique and eclectic experience for his audience.

JKS is working on solo tracks and/or remixes for VA compilations, but we can’t announce anything yet except a remix on Hyden - Tensor EP [SMILE008] (to be released on JKS' label, Smile Sessions)

The taster revisited. 

@Voicedrone & @JamesNewmarch’s entire closing set at @BASSIANI is now available to listen to on SoundCloud.

Last month, FOLD was invited back to Georgia to complete a collaboration that began in Canning Town the previous week. And just like our first encounter, our Resident sparring partners stepped up to play an extended version of their Back to Back. Once again, we wish to express our gratitude to BASSIANI & their team for such a warm welcome, all whilst Georgia’s political turmoil continues to ravage the country.

Today, we present the full six hour live recording of Voicedrone & James Newmarch bringing our takeover of BASSIANI to a close; a mere sample of what’s to come in their next All Night Long at FOLD in April.

‘James Newmarch B2B Voicedrone at BASSIANI (Live Recording)’ is now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Our number 17 is Boris.

Boris, the long-standing Berghain resident, is deeply committed to the captivating magic that unfolds on the dance floor. With over two decades of experience as a producer for the likes of Ostgut Ton and as a DJ, he remains an unwavering, yet never predictable, mainstay.

Boris' set is a true journey - like a vortex pulling you in. Mystical and deep, it’s rich in textures, seamlessly interwoven with groove and vocal snippets. His signature style as a true music connoisseur is unmistakable. Again and again, moments arise where listeners emerge from the depths, catching glimpses of distant, Detroit-esque chords shimmering on the horizon.

As the set progresses, Boris skillfully introduces more rave-driven elements, layering them with finesse. Each transition builds anticipation, leading to a grand finale - an electrifying crescendo that leaves an unforgettable mark. What an incredible set!

The latest PoleGroup Radio episode is now ready on SoundCloud, featuring an immersive DJ set by Adriana Lopez.

Bogotá-born and Barcelona-based, Adriana Lopez has long been a steady force in the global techno landscape. Her refined, hypnotic approach draws from years of experience behind the decks, always staying true to a sound that is detailed, physical and deeply focused.

With releases across respected imprints like Grey Report, Semantica and Modularz, and regular appearances at clubs like Berghain, Tresor, Khidi or Lux, her name has become synonymous with quality and depth in techno.

Tune in for a carefully crafted session that speaks volumes without shouting.

One of many debuts at Dekmantel Festival later in the year will come from Detroit in Effect aka D.I.E, the now solo project of Tameko J. Williams, also known as DJ Maaco. The Motor City artist has roots that run deep into techno and electro and have helped make him one of Detroit’s most under the radar but influential acts. Records like ‘RU Married’ are classic to this day, while other releases on M.A.P. Records helped established D.I.E’s sound as the artists themselves tended to stay out of the spotlight. 

But this mix will surely put Williams very much back in the headlines: it’s an hour of pure techno and electro heat from the heart of the 313 area code. Quick, slick mixes keep things moving at a real pace as slippery drums and squelchy bass race out of the speakers. Touching on everything from classic Drexciya to timeless vocal cuts, deeper grooves to all out physical assaults, it’s as much a mixing masterclass as it is a real history lesson.

Dekmantel Podcast 173 - Detroit In Effect

DVS1 came up as a raver in the Midwest, throwing techno parties for over 20 years and getting up to mischief, often next to huge stacks of speakers that still influence him to this day. He is now well-established as a vital DJ and resident at Berghain and Panorama Bar. 

This mix is something special and a side of DVS1 normally not heard or recorded! A true digger and passionate record collector running the eclectic Mistress Recordings and the more pure techno label HUSH. Here he crosses into house territory for a special dekmantel mix. 

Of the podcast we have here, he says, “This mix is two hours of a four hour rare “house” set recorded LIVE in Sept 2017 at an undisclosed location. I make it a point not to release many mixes and while most people know and follow me for my techno sets, this mix is for those who dig a little deeper and appreciate it all… Enjoy!" There is still a real sense of pace to the mix as it glides effortlessly though flurries of percussion into vocal numbers, cosmic curveballs and piano laced anthems. It’s a fascinating insight into a whole other side of one of techno’s foremost talents.
