BINÄR PODCAST 025 // YAMOUR

"Punk is more an attitude than a style of music. And I think that techno is way more punk than punk." The Spanish DJ discusses the ethos of the underground, vinyl DJing and more on this week's Exchange from AVA Festival.

Héctor Oaks relocated from his hometown of Madrid to study at "Berlin University"—the clubs, record stores and underground parties that would shape his career as an artist. After once famously saying he could "live in peace" if he could play Berghain just once, the techno DJ has since graced the institution's dance floor multiple times and earned residencies at Herrensauna and Bassiani. Now one of a handful of in-demand, vinyl-only DJs, he's also a prolific artist and the head of two labels, KAOS and OAKS.

What makes Oaks especially interesting as an interview subject, though, isn't his newfound popularity, but the underlying ethos that drives his music career. A self-described "techno punk," he reflects on what happens to the punk ethos around the underground once the underground becomes mainstream. "When you see that you've worked for the underground and then the underground becomes pop, do you want to fight against it, or do you want to be part of it?" he asks. "We're not only carrying the music, but we're carrying the values."

In this interview, Oaks also talks about the art of playing vinyl, his new hip-hop project, working for the now-defunct Record Loft and his forthcoming album and live show. Listen to the episode in full.

Tbilisi's impact on the techno underground cannot be overstated thanks to the work of artists like Salome. Though now based in Berlin, her sound is very much a product of the Georgian scene - heavy, breakbeat-rich techno with big trance-infused melodies and dramatic atmospheres alongside plenty of electro. It has come on the likes of Lobster Theremin and Standard Deviation while she also recently remixed Jensen Interceptor. 

On this week's mix, Salome Gvetadze folds in all her influences from hard house to industrial to cook up an eye-watering soundtrack that is pure dystopia. It's a mix of brutally distorted low ends and earth-shattering warehouse sounds brought to life by bright synths, shards of glassy melody and twisted metal textures. Though physical and unrelenting, it's all richly layered so there is always a freaky voice to follow or a melodic thread to pull at as you're ever more consumed by the sheer force of it all.

Dr Rubinstein graces the podcast this week. One of techno's most recognised DJ's the world over, Marina's unique rave-focused style is marked by infectious energy, impeccable selections spanning multiple genres and decades, and acid basslines. In her own words: 

"This mix is my soundtrack for driving home from a rave. I tried to capture this special feeling - of happiness, joy and melancholy all at the same time - when you are still buzzing from an amazing party but also feeling a bit sad because it's over. Dedicated to all the ravers <3 " 

Catch her closing the Olive Grove on the first night of Dimensions this year.

Born in Germany with French origin, Marie’s preferred format as a DJ is vinyl, a crucial part of why she began DJing and collecting music. Curious about genres and styles, multi-eclectic influences informs her sound. Her sets, mainly based on breakbeat and big on UK flavor, are global melting pots where genres and edges blur; oldschool acid, tribal-scented beats and trippy techno merge here. Marie
brings a twisted quirkiness, lightening up a sometimes harsh-sounding corner of the scene.

Recorded live at Faust (Seoul), vinyl only.

Sorry for the wait! Here is the second part. Of course, also from cassette, but I'd say that the sound quality still is quite good for that. Otherwise, use your equalizer to optimize it for your ears.

Recorded at one of the infamous "Snax Club" parties, which were/are regularly organised by the guys that later, after their first steady location „Ostgut“, opened the "Berghain".
If one of them should read this - thanks for great times!

Used as always: Only two turntables and a mixing desk without effects, no laptop etc.
