CONCEPTUAL

CONCEPTUAL @Tresor West 3H OPENING SET

More than just MORD boss and a direct neighbour, both musically and geographically speaking, Bas Mooy is a longstanding friend to us, as well as a figure we truly look up to. Whether found pushing back the boundaries of the techno sound through his vanguard-minded imprint or teleporting dance floors to the 4th dimension with no turning back, Bas holds on to his quality-driven methods to deliver music and moments that transcend both time and space. Up with three hours of sprawling techno heat that runs the gamut from proper big-room artillery to abstract-leaning bravura, through strapping peak-time nemesis and dystopian raw power, here goes Mooy with the wildest instance of his 360 vision when it comes to blazing new paths and setting future directions for the genre. Weapon of mass instruction.

Measure Divide is the 435th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

The mix was recorded in Toronto following a series of European shows. It captures the lingering energy of sleepless nights and strobe-lit dance floors. It traces the moments that stayed behind—dark, hypnotic, and fluid, shifting between tension and comfort. Set between 135 and 137 BPM, it keeps the body in motion while allowing the mind to drift into other realms.

Download available after 10.000 listens.

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy!

Known for creating sonic spaces where rhythm meets emotion, Isabel Soto brings a mix that feels both intimate and expansive. Her selections unfold gradually —percussive, textural, and deeply immersive— guiding the listener through a world that’s as physical as it is introspective.

Step inside her sound 📡

PoleGroup Radio - Isabel Soto 18.06.2025

@philippapacho is like a musical Swiss knife: she has exactly the right tool for every occasion, from warm-ups to peak time to wonky afters. It was a long residency at Under Bron in her native Stockholm that equipped her with those skills, and since moving to Berlin, she's gone on to make her mark across Europe playing all forms of techno. Late last year, Pacho launched her own label Phorum Records as a further extension of her sound, and she also curates tracks and parties under the Positive Source banner.

This August, Pacho joins us at Amsterdamse Bos for Dekmantel 2025 but first serves up this deeply cerebral trip into Millsian techno. It's a high-speed selection of sleek and synth-laced sounds rich in narrative, be that mind-melting urgency, more dark and moody undercurrents or a sense of cosmic unknown. Utterly timeless and effortless classic, this is techno in its most futuristic form.

Philippa Pacho at UFO I - Dekmantel Festival 2025

A sonic portrait of letting go and the quiet pull of memory. 
Across five tracks, Voice Of Tone explores the tension between separation and return, stillness and intensity. 
Deep bass pressure, metallic resonance and fragile melodies capture the moment where past and present collapse into one. 
Failure to Return is a cinematic reflection on what remains after everything has changed.

Release Date: 07/11/2025

Concret Dream

“Don’t be scared to do what makes you happy, even though it means going against the stream. Make art the way art is beautiful for you.”

Simone Scardino has created a musical style and vision that truly is his own, sharing it with the world with his new solo project CONCEPTUAL.

Techno is body music. It’s all about this special feeling that you have when your mind disconnects and your body just follows the music, the feeling of freedom when you dance. Simone’s vision of techno unceasingly characterizes his unique productions as well as his DJ sets. Colorful and energetic techno, a powerful explosion of craziness and happiness at the same time. Three-dimensional spatial sounds combined with gentle but determined drum grooves create a mystical and whirling result and a killer stereo experience!

Last year Simone founded the Berlin based art and music collective Friendship Collective. Through his devotion to techno and visual and performance arts the idea for CONCEPTUAL was born. His performances will often be characterized by collaborations with visual artists and performers, creating a special techno experience for the people that come to see him play. 

Simone’s progressive approach to producing and DJing as well as his collaborations with artists in and outside music reflects his artistic vision and goals as much as his spirited personality, and, in its essence, embodies what CONCEPTUAL represents. Plans for the year hold upcoming releases as well preparing playing live, continuously exploring the world of electronic music with his fans.
