DJ @Boris is kind of a charismatic, multifunctional weapon in the Berlin club life. His musical roots reach back to the mid 80s, when he lived in New York for four years where he absorbed the unique spirit of the seminal club Paradise Garage, weekend after weekend. 

From the Club’s mentor Larry Levan, Boris learned to believe in his musical intuition as well as a broad musical spectrum, which nowadays ranges from Disco, Hi-NRG, Post-Punk and (Kraut-) Rock to House and Neotrance... All of which Boris loves to throw into one set. 
Many years later, Boris became a resident at Panorama Bar’s first incarnation in Berlin, where he was able to build a loyal following by playing long sets lasting until noon. After the old OstGut / Panorama Bar closed, Boris played in almost every club in Berlin. But when the follow up club @Berghain opened its doors in 2004, he quickly focused on playing out here again. 

Since 2005 he has got another musical platform, as he is taking care of the label Careless Records as an A&R. Both as a DJ and as an A&R, he is not exactly keen on refining a certain genre, but rather to push music with a certain twist.

"A lot of things through our head during this time. 
I always consider Techno as the main escape from reality, not as a surrender, but as a choice. Thinking of the closing set at Drift Festival... it will be intense like this hour I built." - Freddy K.

FrenzyPodcast.137 Olivia Mendez

We’re approaching the end of 2022, a year in which a lot has flourished and we were allowed to dance with you again without restrictions! To close off this year we’re back with the annual December Series where we invited four artists to showcase their sound, every week until the new year starts.

The penultimate podcast of the year will be provided by the France-born Berlin-based artist, Olivia Mendez. Olivia is a record proxenete, dealing grooves across territories her unique sound can reach. Developing her sound continuously, Olivia showcases a vast musical inspiration across genres in her selections. Her sets are a cross-pollination of the old school with the avant-garde, aiming to keep the magic encoded in music alive. Olivia is also the founder of the FLINTA collective KONVENT, intending to create positive spaces to reinvestigate and elevate the discourse on contemporary feminism, through site-specific music and art intervention.

For FrenzyPodcast no.137 Olivia takes you on a one-hour vinyl journey showcasing her deep and driving sound!

Reclaim Your City 525 | Blasha & Allatt (Manchester)

Clocking in this week, Manchester-based duo Blasha & Allatt turn up in the series with a potent two-hour workout, nimbly floating in limbo betwixt hard-hitting 909 firepower and more understated, a la Basic Channel / Chain Reaction dub tech motifs. Ebulliently dynamic and mind-expandingly hypnotic to the bone, this mix from the Vault Sessions resident pair is engineered for sustained traction throughout, pushing each and every button possible to steer your senses into euphoric abandon, which it brilliantly succeeds in. Stop what you’re doing, hold your breath and dive down Blasha & Allatt’s mesmerizing headspace, filled with gooduns to help you breeze through the fabled shitty Monday effortlessly.

Reclaim Your City 525 | Blasha & Allatt

Setaoc Mass is the Manchester raised/Berlin based moniker behind SK_Eleven and a techno behemoth with the Midas touch. His golden sound is on just about every dancefloor you’d want to visit: thundering 4/4 beasts skilfully interwoven with gauze-like details provided by his earliest passion for Warp-era electronics. This gritty blend of driving techno and cerebral IDM is one that’s high on horsepower: dry, pummelling basslines, intricately layered hi-hats and sparse but gliding notes that add a softer touch. Unsurprisingly, this Setaoc sound has found a legion of loyal fans as well as fellow collaborators with a similar vision, names like Matrixxman and recent podcast guest Yant with which to bat ideas and release some straight-up bangers. For the purists though, Bassiani Podcast 165’s all Sam Coates: this one’s an hour long studio mix packed with fearsome, erratic beats, chopped-up vocals, frenzied loops and adrenaline-fuelled calculations to get those warehouse walls trembling.
