Here's the 2,5 hour recording of my closing set at Illegal Romance this summer. I really enjoyed playing this and have really enjoyed listening back to this set. The vibe at these events are incredible and I think you can honestly hear that through this recording. It really shows what I like to convey in my sets lately and it's been a while since I've posted something by myself, so I thought it'd be a good time to post it :)

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

#SlamRadio - 670 - Unhuman

Herald of a sound both punishingly jagged and haunted by the long heritage of Dutch industrial music, U.F.F. boss and Axis alum Kole Leijen aka DJ Surgeles steps in with a two hour mix reflecting his hard-boiled headspace, sprawling steely uptempo landscapes and further rapid-fire bursts of enslaving machine funk. Running the hoodoo down with masterly precision and undeniable flair, Kole amps up the pressure through a chiselled montage of titanium-coated big room wares, kaleidoscopic hi-tech motifs and abstract-leaning analogue techno stunts. Prime yourself for a wild ride across metamorphic, future-proof atmospheres and whirring fractals of sound.

For episode 243, we present a four-hour set from Lorely Mur, recorded on October 5th, 2025, during the second edition of Misa de 7 at Bar Américas.

Raised in Ciudad Juárez, Lorely Mur developed her voice within the city’s early-2000s pressure cooker, a context that shaped the discipline and clarity that run through her work. Her years at Hardpop, one of Mexico’s most emblematic clubs, placed her alongside artists from across the global circuit and grounded her approach to techno in precision and intent.

Now based in Denver, she continues to expand her presence in the global underground while remaining a key reference in Mexican techno. This set reflects that trajectory, one that is direct, deliberate and rooted in experience.
Listen and enjoy.

This year, the underground comes alive again. The Bas[s]ment is back at ADE 2025, and we couldn’t be happier with this night !

What started as a passion project for techno lovers who crave raw energy and uncompromising sound has grown into a movement—and now, after a year of anticipation, we’re bringing that same spirit once more to ADE.

The Bas[s]ment isn’t just a venue. It’s a feeling: low ceilings vibrating with bass, bodies moving together in sync, the kind of atmosphere you can only find when music meets community. Every beat is deeper, every drop hits harder, and every night feels like it could go on forever.

Line up:
David Leese (NL) / Jeff Rushin (NL) / Man With No Shadow (NL) / Mind Your Step (NL) / Tahko (NL) / TBA / λ (Anonymous Function) (NL)

ADE 2025 at the Bas[s]ment

Ukraine is a place close to my heart. Many years ago in my other world as a tech person I worked with an amazing developer Dmitry from Zhytomyr. We spoke often and I wondered what Ukraine was like but never visited. Over the next 20 years I worked with a bunch of amazing Ukrainians and of course discovered the incredible techno talent from Ukraine. I was working with a Ukrainian team when the war kicked off and tried to do anything I could to support including donations to get incubators in hospitals and more.

As the past few years unfolded not a day goes by where I want an end to this meaningless conflict. It accompanies me daily.

When I visited https://k41community.fund/en/ in October with the amazing Mike Konstantinidis it was a hugely emotional moment. I don't play too often nowadays but the experience was magic for me. It reminded me of how much techno means to me on a personal level but also how it can build incredible bridges around the world.

At some point I'll stitch together some video footage I shot whilst there. But this is a (bit scrappy) DJ mix that is inspired by the set I played at K41 on 25th October 2025.

My heart is always with Ukraine - Slava Ukraini! 💙💛
