Adroit Podcast Series #121 - Pawel

At the peak of our longest event to date on Saturday, January 18th 2025, a NYC-based selector stepped into the booth at Masada to tell a story: a journey of tension and release, brimming with emotion and passion, a romance that lingered in our memories long after. We are beyond thrilled to mark the 100th instalment of CLOSERcast with none other than Holden Federico’s live recording of his 3-hour Masada set, to immerse ourselves into that beautiful, graceful and moving experience once more.

Philly-born, New York-based producer and DJ Holden Federico is dedicated to reimagining techno by pushing its core elements to bold new extremes. His productions carry a driving low-end energy, rich thematic layers, and dub-infused detailing, all underpinned by grit and soul. As a DJ, he weaves together diverse textures, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for techno’s roots, shaping a modern dancefloor experience that balances the physical with the emotional.

TRS045 - The Renegade Sessions Welcomes Connor Wall

The Australian artist is emerging from Naarm’s underground with a sound and style that demands your attention. 
Releases on Treatment, Float, Phorum and WSNWG show his ability to balance the past of the genre with the future.

“For this one, I’m bringing forward someone I believe is going to leave a mark on our beloved scene.
Connor Wall is an artist with a deep and minimalistic vibe that, as I’ve said in the past, is a style that gives me real pleasure to hear when it’s done right. His sound is dark but also very groovy and it carries the most important element to me - substance.
This session shows those strengths clearly. Stripped-down and focused to the bone without ever losing interest. The kind of sound that’s full of character to my ears.
I’m highlighting him because this is the kind of talent I want people to hear. Real techno music with real depth.”
