"Nostalgia" is an immersive chronicle of the artist's pivotal moments during his adaptation to a new country and a fresh approach to musical creation.

With 3 tracks progressively building intensity:

'Culebra,' the first endeavor, blends deep percussions, ambient textures, and unconventional sounds to create an atmosphere of particles in constant motion. The Venezuelan term 'Culebra,' used to describe conflicts and disputes among people, reflects the love and hatred upon leaving one's homeland.

'Cruz del Ávila' immerses us in tribal percussions, wooden instruments, and a wide, hypnotic ambiance, with dense textures that captivate the listener throughout the track's duration.

'Saltimbanco' is a restless and ever-changing track, deploying shifts in textures and a constant bass rhythm, keeping the listener engaged in an unpredictable sonic journey.

A set recorded for the Amsterdam based Kairos collective:

First event: Amsterdam, unannounced: 06.07.2024 12:00 - End

KAIROS I

The month of June will be a bit special! Malmö Techno Tales will become Gothenburg Techno Tales this month, so we will get a very good insight into what's happening on the west coast!

For this episode we have Penhai kun. German born with kurdish roots, Penhai_kun is an emerging name in the Gothenburg Techno scene. Having started his DJing journey in 2016, he has featured in various lineups and different projects across Sweden and back on his home turf in Germany. His latest project involves the event collective ODDONECREW, which has quickly established itself in Gothenburg by inviting DJs from Sweden, Germany, and the UK to provide hard but yet playful grooves with a touch of nostalgia for 90´s techno. 
Since childhood Penhai Kun is musically drawn to everything old school. His fascination for 90´s hip hop is where Penhai_kun found his love for drum patterns, which later has shaped his style in Techno. His sound nowadays is described as provocative and escalating, bringing punching drum patterns and groovy melodies to his sets.

The nice thing with longer sets is that they give you the opportunity to explore more destinations and let you play more with building different energy levels, which is what I tried in this set! Going from my signature grooves to more hypnotic elements, from murkier sounds to cleaner sounds, with a red thread along the ride!

Interview with Penhai kun: 


Q: What made you start DJing?
A: I have my background in Västerås where many of my friends where part of the local underground scene. Since it was a small city everything was DIY and that approach got me DJing, and in the end also arranging my own events!

Q: Describe your style in three words.
A: Groovy Provocative Engaging

Q: Your best set in 2023/2024?
A: My best set must have been at Bounce in Gothenburg! The whole day was a vibe, with friends featuring on the lineup, and a really engaged Dancefloor that had fun and was not afraid to show it! This mood transferred over to me and I had so much fun playing as well and we had this interactive process going on! The night had a really intimate and lovely energy to it and the DJs after me really killed it as well!

Q: Your favorite track right now?
A: Back in Town by Vilchezz

Q: A track you never get tired of?
A: Night Genesis by Chlär

Q: A hidden gem in Gothenburg that you would like to share?
A: The Bounce event series in Gothenburg! Even if it is not my music per se I’m really amazed by the arrangers dedication to their musical style, and every party I have been to has been a vibe!

Q: A Gothenburg DJ you want to highlight?
A: My habibis Teodora and DJ Avion, and my Sensei Zzquall.

Malmö Techno Tales Episode 28 - Penhai kun (Live from Spektrum)

Shrinwrap

Shrinkwrap [GND Records]

Fuse resident Downside delivers the ninth release on Fuse Imprint with Traces Of Spring, a record that reflects both clean articulation and careful tension building. Across four tracks, he explores a balance of intensity and restraint, depicting a narrative that mirrors his evolving role within the club.

Opening with Until It Fades, the A1 sets a hypnotic tone through patient layering and ambient space, hinting at drama while maintaining subtlety. With Blackout Protocol, the atmosphere turns into focus through an imposing, clear low-end that takes control, driving a darker framework designed for moments of deepened urgency. On the flip, Revolt moves with raw immediacy, its rhythm pushing forward with detail and weight, yet strangely uplifting. Closing with the title track, Traces Of Spring offers a suspended atmosphere, delicate in rhythm and melody, it's a reflection of the fragile balance between soft synth tension hanging by a thread and a focused, monumental pace.

With this release, Downside contributes a coherent and articulate statement to the Fuse catalogue, one that captures both the physicality of the dancefloor and the subtleties that extend beyond it.

Jeton's head honcho is back with a scorching summer release, delivering four expertly crafted tracks that hit hard and go deep. Opening with Exit Strategy, the EP sets the tone with raw energy and dancefloor tension. Midnight Protocol follows, diving into darker territory with hypnotic grooves and a shadowy atmosphere. The title track, Dost List, keeps the mystery alive, blending modular textures with tight, rolling rhythms. Closing out the release, Phase Work is built for the big room—bold, driving, and unmistakably stamped with Ferhat's signature power and finesse.

Ferhat Albayrak - Phase Work [Jeton Records]

Echoes of the Chapel opens with a lone church choir drifting through a cold hall — then the doors slam and the drums hit. Rumble kick, tom-heavy accents, and metallic, industrial textures churn beneath the chant, building a midnight march that feels sacred and menacing at once. Big, moody reverb tails, pressure-valve noise sweeps, and a droning synth bed keep the air tense until the drop caves in the room.
