Bside Incoming: Jon Hester

This week comes with a warm welcome to an esteemed DJ/Producer from the American Midwest with a style defined by physical rhythms and adventurous programming. His effortless and intricate House and Techno sets never fail to get a crowd moving: Jon Hester.

After earning his stripes in Chicago and Minneapolis, Hester's prowess behind the turntables only strengthened with a move to Berlin and an increasing interest in producing his own tracks:

'Neurons' struck a chord with us, the B2 to his Galvanized EP which came out on REKIDS in 2017. Other-worldly signals sound over a pulsing kick and reverberating percussion to create a realm of deep space within our minds and dancefloors beyond:

Klaws (Pangea Productions / Re:Think Techno/ Pure Perception Records)

Klaws is Pangea Production’s lead conductor and co-creator, as well as founder and active member of the Re:Think Techno label & movement. He has been at the forefront of the electronic scene in the Carolinas and beyond for more than 16 years, together with a collective of likeminded artists. 

Klaws’ sound, a.k.a ‘liquid funk,’ is a combination of deep techno, minimal grooves, a dash of house and a good measure of dub, always keeping it deep, spacey, and with a driving groove. He first got exposed to the sounds of electronic music in his native country Romania. Since then, the passion for driving, cutting-edge music only became stronger.

Klaws has played festivals and events throughout the US, France, Romania, and beyond, organized numerous Pangea Productions & Re:Think Techno events as well as one South East premier underground electronic music festivals, “Welcome to Pangea”, now in it's 16th year. 

Together with the Re:think Techno and Pangea crews, he is highlighting a raw, high quality underground musical and visual immersive experience in all events, with heavy focus on local and regional talent, and also international surprise appearances. Always re:inventing, and creating a safe artistic expression space for the tribe and attendees.  

With his EPs releases on Pure Perception Records and Release Musiq, Klaws is pushing the boundaries of electronic music to create driving, hypnotic, atmospheric sounds.

Music and sounds from all the world.

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
