Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell @Real Techno London (DJ Set)

Lidvall live at Symbiotic 18.04.25 (Manizeles/Colombia)

Born in Costa Rica, producer and DJ Linear System bends sound with flawless precision. For #252, he delivers a fully live recorded mix that shows exactly why his sound stands out: intricate layers, sci-fi textures, crisp percussion, and brooding low-ends that pull you deep into his world.

His sets and productions move seamlessly from rough, floor-shaking cuts to clean, reverb-laced tools that twist your mind inside out. With releases on labels like Molecular Recordings, Planet Rhythm, and Modern Minimal he continues to shape a sharp, future-focused sound. Beyond DJing, his releases have received international acclaim and strong support across the scene. 

This is his first and only live set of 2025. 

We’ll let the snippets speak for themselves. 

Enter the current with #252.

Vault Sessions #252 - Linear System

Greek-born and Berlin-based, producer and DJ AgainstMe is a resident at SMUT Athens and a co-founder of the SOCIETY 3000 collective. His project is rooted in the ongoing quest to connect with one's inner voice. For him, techno — characterized by hypnotic melodies, pounding drum patterns, and a ritualistic intensity — offered a revolutionary and unifying sound that sharply contrasted with everything he had known before.

Since discovering his passion for techno in 2014 at just 16 years old, his sound has steadily evolved, and his releases have gained international recognition. His DJ sets, much like his productions, weave together driving rhythms and atmospheric textures, creating immersive experiences that captivate audiences around the globe.

This is a live recording from the Kinitra III Fundraiser at Tillatec in Amsterdam, held on Friday, May 16, 2025.

Emerging from France and now based in Berlin, Benabou crafts deeply hypnotic techno shaped by years of crate-digging and a love for ambient atmospheres. Her sets blur the lines between dark, driving grooves and ethereal textures, nodding to influences from jazz, soul, and psychedelic sounds. With releases on labels like Gynoid Audio, Substantiv, Construct Re-Form, and Cosmic Wave, she’s built her own sound that resonates across Europe’s finest dance floors; such as Paris’s Rex Club and Berlin’s Tresor. Off the decks and behind the scenes, Benabou is a skilled mastering engineer and vinyl-cutter, delivering top-tier masters for both vinyl and digital formats. 

This mix is spacious yet relentless. An hour of beautiful chaos.

Here goes #253.

Vault Sessions #253 - Benabou

Portuguese DJ and producer Lewis Fautzi has steadily risen from the quiet town of Barcelos to the forefront of the global techno scene. His trajectory has been nothing short of interstellar; launching with early releases on Portugal’s Soniculture, and quickly becoming a fixture on genre-defining labels like Soma, PoleGroup, Figure, Warm Up, and his own Faut Section.

His debut album The Gare Album, named after the Porto club that helped shape his artistic vision, was a bold opening statement: raw, precise, and deeply personal. A year later, Space Exploration pushed further; revealing his appetite for ambient experimentation. 

Across his discography and throughout his DJ sets, Fautzi blends dense atmospheres with magnetic, machine-like rhythms; building a sound that feels as mechanical as it is alive.

 A true craftsman of deep space sonics, he channels the gravity of the cosmos into #254: tense, immersive and unrelenting. This is Lewis Fautzi at full force.   

Tune in and disappear.

Inside My Mind

Inside My Mind (Original mix)

Sink into the memory of Closer's last Masada session on 24th May 2025, when Nastia Reigel immerged the crowd in raw machine funk and relentless 4x4 momentum!

Amidst a landscape defined by constant evolution, Nastia Reigel stands out with unwavering confidence, offering a strong musical foundation and a distinctive artistic vision that sets her apart. Each performance is a masterclass in precision and atmosphere: an enthralling fusion of propulsive rhythms and sharp textures that sweep listeners into her sonic world, leaving no detail untouched.

Commanding energy, refined elegance, and magnetic presence: a force with staying power, filled with high-impact material tailor-made for warehouse-level intensity. These aren't just functional floor tools — they evolve with rich textures and kaleidoscopic layers, pushing past convention.
