After the alias “saint sinner” we find Daria Prislonova. Originally from Saratov (Russia) and resident in Spain since 2007, Dasha -as her friends know her- has lived in Alicante, Ibiza, Barcelona and Madrid, where she currently lives. It is these last two cities that offered underground movements in which Dasha immersed herself, leaving a mark on her musical tastes. As Saint Sinner, she has begun to stand out on the Madrid scene since the reopening after the pandemic, making the public sweat in traditional venues such as Fabrik, Stardust, Stella. While she also begins to experiment in the production studio.

*Interview here: http://bit.ly/3wJQo0s

Artist Info:
The DJ and producer from Madrid _asstnt breaks into the underground scene with an industrial, dirty, and melancholic sound. A romantic artist with a demonic soul capable of transmitting sweet sentimentality and the crudest violence.

Born in Madrid in the early 90s, music was instilled in him as a child as one of the most important arguments in his life. It was at the age of 13 when he became interested in her as a form of expression, acquiring his first turntables. He started into it with the hard house, a sound contemporary to this time and with high BPM, which would influence his subsequent sound. Later he became interested in harder sounds, such as hardstyle or hardcore, of which he fell in love with the dirty nature that would later make his sound so characteristic. In 2008 he began his studies, at the same time that he began to produce his music. For several years he dedicated himself to perfecting and improving his music.

In 2017 his first track arrived as _asstnt for the Involve Records compilation "5 Years in Love With Involve". “Chronicle Of A Love Foretold”, published together with the artist Roll Dann, is a melancholy hit that perfectly describes, due to its composition, a soul broken and devastated by heartbreak.

In 2020, _asstnt and Roll Dann decided to start their project together, "Opera 2000", a label whose first release saw the light of day in February 2020. "Back From The Morgue" arrives to shape the idea that the two Artists have "Opera 2000". The duality in the ‘techno’ concept is intended to reach clubbers or ravers to the choicest ears of other artists.

Artist Info:
Radial is the techno moniker of Jeroen Liebregts, originally from The Netherlands, today residing in Barcelona, Spain. 
Jeroen started out mixing records around '98, he was living in Rotterdam at the time and, inspired by the active local techno and house scene, was drawn into music production soon after. In 2002 he teamed up with Bas Mooy and started the now legendary label Audio Assault as a platform for their own work and that of artists whose work they admire. About a year later, the sublabel Arms was born. 
Always driven to dive deeper, Jeroen started a 4-year study 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 likely what kickstarted his interest in using self-designed instruments in his music. The constant quest for new technological approaches is an imported factor that helped shape his sound. Bored easily, Jeroen is known to display a wide variety of music with both his studio outings and live or DJ performances. Never sticking to just one style but mixing and mashing all kinds of sounds together to keep things exciting.
Over the years, the wide range of dance music produced by Jeroen Liebregts has found its 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, Perc Trax, Mote-Evolver, Numb, Drumcode, Planet Rhythm, Dole-Gate, Mord, and most recently, Tape Records, Will & Ink, Indigo Aera, and MDR. 
Currently, his label Radial Records, serves as the main outlet for his own solo work as well as for musical collaborations with others.

*Tracklist & Interview here: http://bit.ly/3wJQo0s

Artist Info:
It is often the case that less-than-mainstream names that make some of the greatest contributions are left aside in favour of the more widely-celebrated ones. Martyn Hare is a producer and DJ whose career spans more than 20 years. Even at its height in the late ‘90s, techno had always been something found around the edges of the more popular mutations of hardcore that took centre stage in UK, but this didn't stop Hare forging his own path. Originally releasing on the likes of Tronic and Potential, and later with other highly respected labels such as Perc Trax and Power Vacuum, Hare found much critical acclaim. Though it was always his own imprint Emetic, where his sound truly found its voice.
With the widespread re-evaluation of techno happening over the last few years, Martyn Hare picked his time to re-enter the fray, re-launching Emetic and performing his style of industrial, brutalist techno to the world. After more than 70 singles on vinyl through his career. Hare counts John Peel, Carl Cox and Aphex Twin as longtime fans, and with many of techno’s top contemporary names supporting both his older tracks and new music, the veteran’s future is still burning bright. After years operating without hype and without compromise, Martyn Hare continues to be in distinguished company, a seasoned figure amidst a raft of newer names whose experience and dedication to the cause speaks for itself.

Artist Info:
Rico Puestel makes a strong statement on his new 11-track album ‘#technohasleftthebuilding’, which he also says will be his last after a celebrated career. The title and the album are a reaction to what Puestel sees as the collapse of the techno world as he knows it. He feels its spirit and cultural impact has been watered down to the point of meaninglessness, at least for him, and says “There is nothing left to tell.”  Rico Puestel has released plenty of seminal tracks on the underground’s most influential outlets, including Cocoon, Harthouse and Break New Soil, and adds that “the self-consuming scene has reached its grotesque climax and left an empty shell of something once filled with so much passion, warmth, strength, heart and hope. The times just haven’t changed – they lost their self-fulfilling purpose and authenticity.”

SlugoS was born in 1989 in Madrid, Spain. At age of 16 he started to be interested in electronic music. With time, he found himself deeply connected with Techno, more particularly, with the darkest and hard branches of this style.
It didn't take long until he started to push himself into production and mixing, and in 2008 he had his first gig at Fabrik Club in Madrid. Since then, he has been performing in clubs and festivals all over Europe and South America.
As a producer he has been working non-stop since the beginning of his career and nowadays you can find his tracks in both Techno and HardTechno/Schranz mixes. Labels like Sacred Court, Soma Quality Recordings, Involve Records, Gomboc Records, Cannibal Society among others, have released SlugoS tracks.
Nowadays his sound turned more industrial, mental and oppressive. Taking back the mood of the hard techno roots but keeping a vanguardist view in his sets and productions. All this is reflected in his latest project, a vinyl record label called CAEDITE EOS.

Artist Info:
Born and raised in the post-soviet bloc, Täino injects a personal note into the medley of his adoptive city of Prague. The producer, dj and graphic designer central to the DIY-focussed Moving Pictures Label comes with a curious and unique cultural baggage that offers an independent outlook on sound, image, and nightlife, whether behind the decks or behind the scenes.
Since founding Moving Pictures Label with production partner Roman Rai in 2018, Täino's restless ear and open mind for novel sounds has seen him develop his skills as a dj at respected venues and parties across the czech capital, including Komiks, Fuchs, Altenburg 1968, Bukanyr, Groove Bar, VIkova 26 and Cross-Club. Absorbing everything from the softest, most atmospheric shades of house and techno right through to white-knuckle rave electronics, Täino brings subtle gradients and direct force together in one image within his dj sets.
Täino's music and graphic art are prominent and regular features of the Moving Pictures Label, and his productions have also been featured on other Prague imprints, including Harmless Youth (with collaborative track featuring on Vision of 1994s' latest album), Xion, Beef Records, Tonal and Random Collective.

Artist Info:
Shay De Castro is one of the most thrilling techno talents emerging from the United States, known for her high-energy, peak-time sound that merges relentless intensity with melodic depth. With releases on some of the most respected techno labels—including Factory 93, Kraftek, Respekt, and mau5trap—and support from Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, ANNA, and Alan Fitzpatrick, she is carving out her own lane in modern techno with a fierce commitment to artistic authenticity. A self-made artist from Boise, Idaho—far from the world’s techno capitals—Shay’s rise has been one of pure passion, perseverance, and a unique sonic identity. Inspired by the euphoria of trance and the raw power of peak-time techno, she developed a signature style that balances ferocity with emotion, captivating audiences worldwide.

Shay’s latest work, “Unclose Me” (out on Kraftek), is a collaboration with the iconic Pleasurekraft. A poetic, borderline-romantic techno piece, it reflects Shay’s deep connection to literature and lyricism, and showcases her ability to channel raw emotion into the dancefloor. It marks another step forward in her evolution as a bold, genre-defining storyteller in techno. Her breakthrough moment came with the release of “Memento” on Factory 93, which soared to #18 on the Beatport Techno charts and was featured on the label’s Best of 2023 compilation, placing her alongside artists like Space 92 and Nicole Moudaber. She’s also earned support slots for Eli Brown’s U.S. tour, and her dynamic performances have lit up stages at Amsterdam Dance Event, Beyond Wonderland, and top clubs across Europe, the Americas, and the U.S., including Exchange LA, Superior Ingredients NYC, and Tanzhaus West.

Shay’s music regularly finds its way into the sets of techno’s biggest names, played at festivals like Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Time Warp. Her powerful, groove-driven productions have earned her repeat signings on labels like Respekt Recordings, while her remix work—such as her 2024 collaboration on Kiesza’s “I Go Dance”—has expanded her reach beyond traditional techno audiences. Driven by both passion and precision, Shay De Castro is more than a DJ and producer—she’s a poetic architect of tension, introspection, and rave catharsis. With a growing global fanbase and a series of high-impact releases on the horizon, Shay is poised to become one of the defining artists of techno’s next wave.
