Command Control (@command_control) makes their debut on Threads with Fulcrum. 

Once a drummer, Command Control is a lover of rhythmic, groovy and syncopated club music. For his debut he takes us through an hour of warpy, broken beat heaters, balancing a pulsating sense of groove with percussive and off-kilter sound design.

Fulcrum w/ Command Control - 17-Dec-21

Welcoming the lovely Refuge Worldwide co-founder and dub-master @richard-akingbehin to the Animix series this week, with a beautiful journey of minimal house infused with his signature dub styles.

Clear in his DJ'ing, but also his work with @refugeworldwide, and his immaculately curated label, @kynant-records, Richard is an all-round classy selector, and a champion of community. Through his various outputs, his deep & considered knowledge and taste shines. 

Richard always impresses me with the diversity of moods he presents via his DJ'ing, hybrid collaborations with legend Tikiman, b2bs with other legends like livwutang, and his label - a diversity that's always strung together with his incredibly distinctive psychedelic, soothing dub formula. 

Thanks for the mix Richard <3

Animix One Hundred & Seventy Three: Richard Akingbehin

Blitz Live : Richard Akingbehin : 22/03/2025

Richard Akingbehin – the tasteful selector known for his engrossing, soothing soundscapes and the driving force behind Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide and Kynant Records – made his Blitz debut in late March 2025, playing alongside DVS1 and Ogazón. A night shaped by deep cuts, subtle shifts and tactile Techno!

We’re pleased to share a recording of the first half of his opening set – and took the chance to ask Richard a few questions about the night, too: find them in our Blitz Magazine:

@jobsifre with this weeks mix. A well known nightlife figure in Amsterdam. His roots in techno give him a steady base to operate from, while his versatility and ability to read the crowd makes it easy for him to adapt. 

With this mix job shows his funky playful side while still keeps the techno rolling and tough an intresting and lovely balance, but knowing job you would see him happily bounce behind the decks while blasting these tracks towards you! <3 

Track highlight

Klubbheads - Klubbhopping

‘’I really enjoy layering vocals and melodies from classic house records onto techno records. Since I am also playing House under my Swift Incorporated moniker, it is really fun to use bits and pieces of this in my job sifre sets too! In this mix I took the classic Klubbheads vocal and looped it, to use it on top of two other tracks. Taking music from one context and see it transform by applying it to a totally different context, is one of my favorite things to do as a DJ. This way you create something recognizable, while at the same time it gives you tools to interact with the crowd with by solo’ing the vocal unexpectedly or doing some fader cuts."

Thanks Job<3

Chiming in for Bassiani’s anniversary party on October 10th comes an exceptional talent from the Asturian coast and Architectural’s third appearance in the Podcast series. Since 2004, Juan Rico’s been holding the line as Reeko, a stand-in for blistering industrial rhythms, founder of Mental Disorder and founding partner of Spanish techno bastion PoleGroup. Come 2010, a new incarnation emerged under the stage name Architectural, a faceless and assumedly authorless variant of his that played on rich textures, cinematic tones and a heavier focus on the architecture of sound itself. In the studio he manipulates and records sounds in real time, allowing for a greater degree of spontaneity than working with standalone parts would otherwise permit. No longer incognito, Architectural offers a brand of ambient techno charged through with Jazz and references from the world of film that pulsates and slithers, crackles and shifts. From his earliest releases on his eponymous Architectural imprint, through Semantica, Non Series and others, his music has established itself as a touchstone for avant-garde techno centred on body and dancefloor, and his future’s sure to keep delivering more of his monolith beats. Bassiani Podcast 287 is a truly impressive addition to the series, a sweeping three-hour montage of gritty textures, modulated frequencies and punchy basslines recorded live at Bassiani.

DJ Deetron’s side project Deetron presents Soulmate is synonymous with raw, Detroit-influenced techno, often played live as part of a three vinyl set-up and at unforgiving tilt. The Bern native’s solo venture had been half dormant, until in 2022, the alias was revived at full capacity with the first in a string of releases for Münich’s legendary Ilian Tape. Magnetic beats that delivered a contemporary take on the classics, rehashed and given his personal slant. Blending stripped-back, funky cuts with unrivalled technical smarts and a sharp instinct for percussion, his layered sets have been a testament to his abilities as dancefloor provocateur from Berlin to Bangkok, Cape Town to Medellin. Released September 4th, his latest outing on wax is four-tracker Code, mile-a-minute breaks that offer a further glimpse into his sonic world, a further development of his hypnotising tribal frequencies. The Soulmate project’s had a second wind and it’s clear he’s here to stay. Bassiani Podcast 289 is a furious, hour-long studio mix that delivers an immersive mix of typical Deetron drum patterns, volatile energy and ice-cool hooks in abundance, rapid-fire techno from a Swiss master.

For the 54th episode of the BPitch Podcast, we’re excited to welcome Kessie.

Kessie, a Leeds-based DJ known for her techno-infused soundscapes that are as textured and dynamic as they are heavy.  Ironically, Kessie’s hearing disability is the driving force behind her machinist approach to DJing. Her "wall of sound" aesthetic results in immersive sets that invite you to feel the music just as much as you hear it.

“I wanted to lean more into my instincts for this mix and channel some of the anxieties I’ve been dealing with in my everyday attempts to juggle this scramble we call life. It’s also been a while since I’ve focused on a podcast and I’ve grown more confident in my style: colourful and sinister with a seductive twang. I focused on contrast, depth, and flow. It’s tempting to approach a podcast like you’re at a club, but that’s already quite challenging when you’re in a studio alone, with no energy to feed off except your own. So I gave myself permission to wander a bit and see where the mix wanted to go, maintaining a playful attitude while letting some of the darker undertones bleed through. “

For the first time we open the live recordings from Vinculum — to stretch the memory of those who were there and to spark the imagination of those who haven't found us yet.

We begin with Forest Drive West — an hypnotic drift where techno and jungle fold into each other. Atmospheric, deeply rhythmic, always in motion, carried by intricate percussion and a momentum that never breaks.
He leads this release for a reason — mirrors with rare clarity what we pursue: variety that breathes, consistency that never falters. Enjoy!

Recorded live on sunday — 13.07.2025

Aubrey has been releasing dope records for more than 30 years and has founded five labels. He also runs the Latitude record store in Berlin, and he’s still remixing, mastering, djing, and involved in all things music. It’s safe to say that he is a true legend. Enjoy!

This weeks mix is by Jess Nash hailing from Berlin with a love letter to the dancefloor. Jess uses their understanding of clubbing to intuitive balance rhythm and atmosphere.

While listening to the mix it’s easy to envision your favorite dancefloor where sound and sweat is dripping from the walls. Bodies moving as one organism. Driving, deep and dark creating a feeling of dancefloor togetherness that sucks you in, especially in the moments where the intensity slightly flows away but you know it will be back in no time. Pure and honest. 

Track highlight:
Stojche - Eclipse 
‘’it’s proper vibey; something for the body & the soul! It was released in August on Steffi’s label Dolly as part of ‘dolly 15YRS’ which is a wicked 15 year anniversary VA. The compilation is packed with great music and has been one of my favourite releases of this year. I love the DollyTS series too! ‘’

Thanks Jess<3
