A meeting of minds, muscles, and music: we're pleased to put on an absolutely no-nonsense lineup of serious techno-heads. Coming up on midwestern musical sensibilities,  we have two serious students of the history and politic of dance music, enthusiasts of gritty machine-funk, hands-on gear-turners in their respective scenes, and good friends of many years. It's a pleasure to present a longer form exploration of techno's transistor rhythm and semiconductor soul from these two: Detroit's Miguel Cisne and Bounce House resident Nail Salon. 

Miguel is dedicated to the craft, technology, lifestyle, and working culture of techno. Living, working, and playing in Detroit, he is involved in all facets of the groundwork of techno, from heady, serious, DJing to event production. He is out and about working sound in Detroit, notably recently helping speaker designer and workshop Bing Audio deploy the pristine, powerful, point-source stacks at events like Return To The Source. Part of the Moods collective, Miguel has a mind for the expansive sensibilities beyond any given selector's dancefloor lay-ups. Never afraid to roll up a Carhartt-clad sleeve and get involved, we've even had Miggy hop onto our lighting controller during a foggy moment years ago. It's a pleasure to welcome the musical school of Detroit!

You know Nail Salon by now to keep this note brief, but we're excited to have a longer window for Kris to work his magic. Hungry for a wide range of music, constantly exploring, studying, and learning, Nail Salon's DJ flow is informed by a heady focus, sincere dedication to the craft, and frothing up many of Philly's rambunctious dancefloors both solo and as part of bellicose trio Bass Down Low, including a recent Halloween-adjacent appearance at burgeoning pop-up party High Beam.

We're eager to welcome a newer hometown hit-maker: Shai FM is an understated studio titan of kinetic dance music, releasing cuts of delightfully playable, forward-thinking dancefloor gold at a remarkable pace and across a dizzying range of genres. These tracks aren't just impressive for the music-fan-chin-strokers - they're regularly pounding clubs and festival stages all over. While a relative newcomer to DJing (and recent transplant from the Bay Area), this imaginative and technical mindset carries over into Shai FM's flow behind the decks, ensuring some brainy curves will meet rollicking rhythms to carry you into the night. He's also a new dad (congrats!!), so we're lucky we could whisk him into warehouse-land before the duties of fatherhood call him back.

A hyperreal exploration of identity, transformation, and the boundaries between organic and artificial realities, Isaka’s EP Elytra is built on her »hyperbass« framework and a blend of hand-drawn collages, sketches, and AI-assisted 3D imagery. Merging aggressive low-end energy with sound design, glitchy textures, and hyperpop vocals that balance experimental abstraction with dance fever immediacy, themes of insect moulting thread through the work: metamorphosis as a cyclical, layered and often traumatic process.

RSO.Berlin

Female Wizard’s cross-genre DJ set will baffle the binary, delaying gratification and embracing dissonance to transform hedonism into an act of defiance. Blended tempos with visceral intensity mirror her fascination with the fragility and power of breath, a recurring motif in both her music and performance art. They performed as part of a collaboration with cutting-edge Australian arts organization SOFT CENTRE which took over RSO.Berlin's Summer floor.

Piotr Kalinski and Daniel Szlajnda are artists who hold a special place in the Polish independent music scene. Their solo achievements date back to the first decade of the 2000s, providing an important foundation in the development of the local music scene.

Daniel Szlajnda is associated by many Polish listeners with aliases such as DJ Taśmy and @danieldrumz, as well as his series of eclectic funk-hip-hop mixes “Electric Relaxation.” The culmination of these achievements is the album “Untold Stories,” released in 2015, on which, as Daniel Drumz, he showcases multiple takes on club music. However, it was the later two albums “Komorebi” and “Order in Chaos” that opened a new chapter in the producer's work by shifting his sonic explorations towards modular ambient - released already under his own name, i.e. Daniel Szlajnda.

The solo beginnings of Piotr Kaliński, known mainly as @httvtt, fall on the period of dynamic development of the dubstep scene in Poland, and his productions maintained in this style, were among the first Polish releases published abroad. He has 4 solo albums and also contributes to such projects as the ambient instrumental Hinode Tapes, Nanook Of The North (with Stefan Wesolowski) and @j_a_n_k_a, which is the result of a collaboration with Daniel Szlajnda.

The JANKA project combines both producers' love of dub, modern electronica, Japan and a good dose of humor, which can be found in the twisted titles of each track. Their music has been released on labels such as U Know Me Records, The Moth Club, Yuku and Newdubhall.

Released in guides EP “YAMANOTE” is a complete set, on which there are clear (in the musical, title and visual layers) inspirations of Japan, being for both artists and guides label owner Pawel Dunajko an extremely important point of reference. Both producers, in their work, often take this Far Eastern direction, and they regularly visit Japan, both solo and with JANKA concerts. In 2024, the Yuku label released JANKA's twelve-inch, recorded with Japanese minimalist footwork icon @crzkny. Similar to the cassette “YAMANOTE,” the vinyl for Yuku combines a fascination with experimental footwork and dub-techno aesthetics.

“YAMANOTE” EP features six tracks, each offering a completely different variation for footwork aesthetics and 160 BPM tempo. The rich multi-layered ambient space is driven by a pulsating dub bass. Sometimes JANKA's music is reminiscent of the crystalline productions of Move D and Benjamin Brunn, with a difference that it is put through various kinds of noisy effects.

The entire album opens with the minimalistic track “Goodweather Dub,” a sort of tribute to Nagoya's Goodweather club and its owner Eri Ishii, who is an extremely important figure animating the independent music scene in Japan. The title track “Yamanote,” set to subtle and unobvious breaks, playfully winks at the popular Tokyo subway line. “Mono Dub,” is a classic sped-up dub footwork. “Ale To Ty Dzwonisz Dub” is built around the repetitive non-obvious sound of a ringing telephone. “Lolska Dub” is a languidly deep half-tempo, and the final “Mute Dub” is a perfect ambient close to the whole.

Tweak Soundsystem Radioshow avec NESSIM | 22.03.25

Around 1964, french composer and sound researcher Luc Ferrari coined the term "Musique Anecdotique" to describe his use of recognizable sounds in his music, as opposed to the Musique Concrete's search for "pure" sound abstraction. Sounds that tell a story, that depict a landscape, whose source most can pinpoint or try to... OK NERD.

But what if Luc Ferrari was a terminally online kid who's also NOT BORING ?

That's where Déluge steps in. The Paris based sound mangler, half of live-coding duo FRONSSONS ʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔ and part of Cookie Collective gifts us with a dizzying study on what could/should/would be "La Musique Anecdotique d'Internet".
Sitting right at the intersection between a serious para-scientific essay on our modern media consumption habits and pure shitposting, this episode of OOPSY takes us on a wild ride where french memes, gabber, experimental gems, trap vocals, cursed mash-ups, quirky sounds and generational memories of the web collide.
Somehow evoking a TikTok doomscrolling experience on speed, his set is full of masterful jester moves and more-than-unexpected curves.

Very seriously unserious.
"Soundcloud poop electroacoustique maon chèr·e".

Could meme sounds be a form of field recording of the internet in the XXIst century ? I don't even know anymore, I think might need to go outside and touch some grass for a bit... but damn that was crazy

En 2023 au festival Atom, René Danger et rogue lvl avaient joué au milieu de la nuit sur la scène d'Ondorphine un set de musique occitane : Slowccitamix. En 2025 ils en jouent une nouvelle version improvisée en direct du studio parisien !

This project is by far the one I’ve worked on the most, and it truly defines the sound I’ve been shaping over the past year. It’s a very personal EP, which is why I wanted to release it independently. Hope you enjoy it — you can download it for free from my Bandcamp page :)
