A new SPANDAU20 mixtape is here to bless your ears!📼
Meet our guest, Akua, a trailblazing DJ rooted in North American techno and a driving force in the scene's new wave of machine funk. In recent years, this Ghanaian-American artist has dedicated herself to reviving the innovative spirit of techno's golden eras, paying homage to the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, and New York City's DJs. Akua's no-nonsense style brings a necessary and poignant intensity to contemporary dancefloors, seamlessly blending old-school vibes with the authentic energy of techno's turn-of-the-century peak. Her boundless legacy continues to expand each year, earning respect from international DJs and dancers alike, thanks to her incredible mixing finesse and a constantly evolving repertoire of future-proof classics.🛸

In her Spandau20 mix, Akua takes a vinyl-focused, high-energy, and 100% old-school approach. Endlessly inspired by older techno mixtapes and radio shows, she channels a raw and funky energy reminiscent of Detroit in the '90s. This mix is a nod to the real heads — an "if you know, you know" vibe transporting listeners to an era where techno pulsated through the airwaves with unbridled spirit.😎So be ready to take a deep dive into this immersive experience!🖤

Next up in our mix series is Voiski. From his Iranian background, Voiski has always been very connected to spiritual music and trance in particular. The element of repetition is ongoing through his catalogue, creating a direct link to his beloved minimalistic classical composers and his roots. Voiski is part of several constellations aside from his main alias, Vrilski (with Vril) and Wav (with Wata Igarashi) to name a few. 

Indulge in this live-set recording by Voiski, immerse yourself in its hypnotic allure of constantly evolving elements and swirling melodies. Expansive psychedelic club music, with an yet precise edge. Voiski weaves layers upon layers, creating a sonic landscape where transcendent melodies shine brightly amidst dynamically shifting arrangements.

We are back with a new podcast, this time by London-based TSUNIMAN! 

"This 1-hour recording takes listeners on a spooky journey through the depths of 90s progressive psytrance. I've delved deep into some of the oldest records in my collection, which I've played live a few times in recent years but never had the opportunity to include in a podcast. 

These tracks deserve a place in these recordings as they are profound markers of the darker sides of my sound. The entire mix has been curated to follow a thread symbolising both pain and euphoria, beginning in hellish progressive depths and culminating in joyful psychedelic chaos."

JakoJako (@jakojako_live) always wanted to make music and her self-confessed hyperactivity ultimately led to her getting the most joy out of playing about with machines and patching up synths. These days the Berghain resident is a celebrated live act and DJ who draws on the considerable knowledge she picked up working at Berlin's legendary synth shop SchneidersLaden, but she has also worked on several high-profile motion sensor dance projects at places like The Royal Albert Hall. Her smart sound designs and unique rhythms have landed on Leisure System, Tresor and Figure and she has a new EP coming on Mute this June.

Her mix for us this week features a sneak preview of one of the tracks from that EP as well as mixing up music from Alaric, Siege, Altinbas and many more. It's full of high-speed sounds couched loosely in techno but with moods and textures borrowed from industrial, minimal and even trance as things reach an emotional peak late on. Though she broke through as a live act, this set shows JakoJako can now speak just as freely through the decks.
