Feels like fucking Submarine I love it💓￼

Hypnotisk techno

The Berghain resident talks about re-queering the goth scene, exploring a lighter side of his sound and preparing for marathon closing sets.

Hayden Payne, AKA Phase Fatale, grew up fully immersed in the world of music; his dad is a recording engineer and musician, as are many members of his family. After joining post-punk outfits like Dream Affair and consuming a diet of new wave and synth from parties like Wierd in New York, Payne eventually relocated to Berlin, where he saw possibilities emerge around ways of fusing guitar music with sounds for the dance floor. It was only shortly after relocating that he landed a residency at Berghain and began releasing his own productions as a techno artist, becoming known for darker-edged sets and productions that fuse industrial, EBM and techno.

In this episode of the RA Exchange, he talks to senior producer Chloe Lula about all of this and more, like "re-queering" the goth scene; exploring a lighter side of his sound with his Italo duo, Soft Crash; his label, BITE Records; and sustaining strong ties to dance floors in Kyiv and Tbilisi, two cities that he reflects as being refreshingly socially and politically motivated for queer artists living in the margins. His new EP as Soft Crash, NRG, is out now. Listen to the episode in full.

TAW005 - Ron Albrecht

Six-time turntablism champ turned sleek tech groove-provider, Japanese DJ and producer DJ HI-C has had many lives before settling as a merchant of stripped-back, zen-like ambiences and mesmeric club rhythms. Elegant and dynamic, his productions sit halfway deeply organic, atmospheric blends and a further steely, hi-velocity strain of techno. Mind-bending by nature, his mixes open a wide window into a pulsating headspace, rife with ebullient bass drive and obsessive loops, constantly pushing the envelope of danceable material as we know it. Tailored to emphasize the impact of a limited number of components rather than drowning his listener under an avalanche of sonic stimuli, HI-C unleashes a storm of painstakingly textured layers and ripping melodic stabs. Bringing together minimalism with soul is an art, and HI-C is an absolute master at that.

ELBEREC22

ELBEREC drops a six-track EP from CRAVO & ENKŌ, with remixes by Backbone and Amsterdam's Lasse. From rolling, feel-good funk to a sweaty, stripped-back, serious tone, this EP moves between bright, high-energy moments and deep, tight patterns. Lasse’s precise tool rework and Backbone’s old-school twist bring fresh angles. It’s a seamless blend of high-energy funk and deep, steady groove. This release shows why CRAVO & ENKŌ are a core part of ELBEREC’s sound - and why Lasse is a welcome new face. From filling peaks to deep floor moments, this one’s got range.

Pozdrav svima

Svašta se desilo. Od stresa na poslu, do raznih techno žurki, pa čak i godišnji. I mimo toga svega radio sam na novom albumu. Najveća razlika što će te primjetiti jeste mastering. Upoznao sam nekoliko producenata i mastering inžinjera i po prvi put sam prepustio da neko drugi uradi mastering. Što mi je dokazalo da imam još dosta toga naučiti. U ovom albumu sam koristio nekoliko zvukova što sam sam snimio. Isto tako dosta toga sam uložio u sam dizajn zvukova da bi pjesme bile zanimljive i malo drugačije od prosječnog burgijanja i čekićanja. Hvala drugu Johannes što je radio mastering. Uradio je odličan posao. Pjesme možete direktno kupiti na Bandcampu a za koji dan možete stimati an Spotify, Apple music itd.
Uživajte i sve najbolje.

Hello everyone

A lot of things happened. From stress at work, to various techno parties, and even a vecation. Besides all that, I was working on a new album. The biggest difference that you will notice is the mastering. I met a few producers and mastering engineers and for the first time let someone else do the mastering. Which proved to me that I still have a lot to learn. In this album I used several sounds that I recorded myself. I also invested a lot in sound design itself to make the songs interesting and a little different from the average drilling and hammering. Thanks to my friend Johannes for doing the mastering. He did a great job. You can buy my songs directly on Bandcamp, and in a few days you can listen to Spotify, Apple music, etc.
Enjoy and all the best.

Out now the Sixtieth "OECUS Podcast".
This show with guest: RADIAL

Radial is the main pseudonym of Jeroen Liebregts from The Netherlands. Jeroen has been dj'ing since around '98 and picked up music production soon after. Since 2002 Jeroen teamed up with Bas Mooy and started the label Audio Assault as a platform for their own work and that of artists whose work they admire. About a year later sublabel Arms was born. About a year later sublabel Arms was born. In 2014 his own brand new imprint Radial Records sees the light of day with the release of Crux, the second full length Radial album.
Always driven to dive deeper Jeroen started a 4-year studies of Sonology at the Conservatory in The Hague, which he finished in 2006. This study deals with electronic music composition, computer programming, analog synthesis and electronic instrument design among other things. This is probably what kickstarted his interest to use self designed instruments in his music. The constant quest for new technological approaches is an imported factor that helped shape his sound. His current tendency toward analog hardware based methods also resulted in his involvement in the design and development of the Synton Fenix modular synthesizer.
Over the years the music of Jeroen Liebregts has found it's way to many places using different aliases(Radial, Museum, Finder, Sinecure). There have been releases of original tracks and remixes on labels such as Token Records, Perc Trax, Mote-Evolver, Numb, Drumcode, Planet Rhythm, Dole-Gate and most recently Mord Records and MDR. He will be an upcoming vinyl release on Methodical, along with MTD.

Enjoy it!

PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS - LIVE AT COCOON IBIZA - CORMIX060

This year’s highly anticipated ‘Live at Cocoon Ibiza’ mix is helmed by techno legend Luke Slater under his Planetary Assault Systems guise. 

As Planetary Assault Systems, UK titan Luke Slater has constantly laid down a blueprint for the future of techno. As a live performer he is a visionary who fuses mind melting minimalism, catchy cyborg funk and cinematic soundscapes that really take you on a trip. He did that once again back in July as part of Cocoon's 20th anniversary season and now the results are laid down on CD for us to relive the magic. 

Over the course of eighty spellbinding minutes, Slater captivates with evocative sci-fi imagery and high class melodic minimalism, smoothly shifting from moments of high pressure drum-funk intensity to uplifting and spiritual passages of cosmic sound and back again. Along the way, he digs deep into his back catalogue to serve up plenty of golden oldies as well as more contemporary cuts, and the whole thing melts together into a timeless set that explores the outer edges of techno with huge amounts of both style and substance. 

Debuting on Cocoon with a rare appearance outside of Slater’s usual labels Ostgut Ton and his own Mote Evolver, a 12” release drops in unison with the mix including four Planetary Assault Systems productions: on one side both 'RAWW’ and 'RUN' are exclusive studio versions, whilst on the flip are live versions of 'Desert Races' and 'Give It Up' featuring live sax by Tim Ower, offering some of techno's finest moments, while the mix itself is an essential testament to the forward looking nature of not only Cocoon Ibiza, but also Luke Slater himself.

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.
