Reclaim Your City 489 | Amotik (Berlin)

Berlin’s hard-hitting maestro Amotik, real name Anil Chawla, is our guest this week for a two-hour leg of unremittingly rough-on-the-heart sonic aggression. At the helm of his own eponymous record label, Chawla has been serving up some of the most corrosive, jaw-breaking, knee-buckling material in the field of industrial techno, one you can definitely rely on when in need for a full mental reset, but also some of the most intriguing beatless, ambient-friendly gems at times. More regularly dishing out trampling kicks by the dozen, and as many snare uppercuts in near subliminal fashion so much your ears are filled to the brim with that thick and oily assembly-line thunder, Amotik drags us by the feet straight into the furnace. Burn like candles under the red-hot sun.

Reclaim Your City 489 | Amotik

We are psyked to host the Madrid-Berlin based artist Psyk, who stands as a solid staple of the current techno scene. The versatility and maturity of his sound and the breadth of his knowledge are clearly displayed in his discography, from feverish tracks like "Arcade" or "Eclipse" to deeper cuts like "Lowdown" or "Fall from Grace". His acclaimed debut album "Time Foundation" on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver was followed up by multiple successful releases on labels such as Tresor Imprint and FUSE imprint among others. A regular at venues like Berghain, DeSchool or Fabric, Psyk has been around the globe sharing his unique blend of techno with the world. The attention to detail and craftsmanship he displays in his own productions has earned him well-deserved praise by industry heavyweights time and time again, be it on his own label Non-Series or elsewhere.

In the early 90s, techno hits Japan. Surprised and intrigued, Takaaki Itoh was impressed with this sound. This unique style of beats revealed the gateway to a world of underground music in Japan, something he had never heard before.
Surprise slowly gave way to addiction when Takaaki Itoh heard the sound of such artists like UR, Derrick May, Axis, Hardfloor, Sven Väth, Harthouse, Warp and Rising High. 
Finding out he just couldn't get enough of it, in 1994 Takaaki Itoh began to organise his own techno parties in Norioka Iwate, having success by providing fantastic line ups.

In 1996, he decided that it was time to start making his own tracks, so he went out, purchased the vital instruments and began producing. 
After sending out 3 finished tracks to various labels, Electracom UK made the first contact with him, and followed to release his first track. This moment was something he will never forget, as for the first time in his life he was able to finally release his own record. 
Then several releases followed and he began to appear in DJ charts and magazines all over the world.

Takaaki Itoh's Japanese style of techno is purely unique, underground and nothing that had been heard before in Europe. 
In a couple of years, he became recognized as the most underground and expected japanese Techno DJ.
Takaaki Itoh has now taken the next step and started his own label Wols, whilst keep playing in great venues wolrdwide.

Vault Sessions #133 - D-Leria

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.

KHIDI Podcast NR.86: Justine Perry

To relaunch his seminal imprint, Infrastructure New York, David Sumner aka Function presents his new 12", Green EP. Celebrating 27 years of Function releases this year and the label’s 25th anniversary, the label will serve as an outlet for his new material, reissues of out of print classics from Synewave, Sandwell District and Ostgut Ton (and of course, Infrastructure), as well as developing new artists and launching a long awaited Bandcamp page - exploring the annals of nearly three decades of the Function sound.
 
As a member of the Sandwell District collective, Function, from 2007 onward was instrumental in cultivating and ushering in a new sound of dark, cerebral hypnotica - forcing the hand of change in global techno. Green EP serves as a testament to this, further exploring these depths. The EP pays homage to the day when David arrived in Berlin with his green suitcase where his record “Isolation” on Sandwell District was released, hitting the ground running and spring boarding into an incredibly successful career, becoming a stalwart DJ/producer, after years as a struggling artist.
 
Green EP encapsulates the same raw power and hypnotic energy of his genre defining Sandwell District releases Isolation, Anticipation and Variance, updated with a modern flair. Subject f (Function) has clearly transcended, as expressed through the opening track “Initiation” arriving at his “New Designation”. On the b-side Function communicates his divine alignment through the broken beat, etheric “Aeternum (Meridian)”. Finally, Function closes Green EP with a live extraction of “Desire and Memory”, a brooding club stormer in contrast to the more experimental leanings of the original version, which appeared on Rrose’s label Eaux.
 
Next to releasing a new EP and restarting the label, an attached Bandcamp page and label webshop will be launched. These portals will in time see the release of previously out of stock releases as well as re-issues and unreleased Function material, next to new releases by other artists. No doubt fans will be excited!
 
One thing is clear: Function is back on track and more on form than ever!
