Another Barker masterclass.

Sam Barker asks more from techno. The artist known simply as Barker is one of electronic music's most consistently conscientious and curious producers, challenging listeners to question the norms we accept about our shared culture—whether it's the music that fills the room, the process behind it, or the purpose of the space itself.

British-born yet based in Berlin since 2007, Barker forged a connection to many of the city's leading institutions, including Ostgut Ton, and over the course of a long and fruitful relationship, he carved out one of the more singular paths on the club and label's roster.

Not one for orthodoxy, Barker challenged four-to-the-floor techno framework in favor of melodic experimentation. By decentering or completely stripping away the typical trappings of kick drums and claps, his productions are both light and immersive, buoyant in low-end presence and shimmering in weightless space.

Six years after Utility, his sophomore album Stochastic Drift arrives this month. Shaped by pandemic-driven reinvention, it burrows deeper into harmonic twists and freeform drift. "At some point I became conscious of the process," he wrote of his latest album. "The only thing you can do is embrace the uncertainty and see every change as a potential positive.”

Consider his RA Podcast another sequel. Like his much-beloved 2019 mix for FACT, it's a collage of live recordings and a fitting expression of the artist's own internal spring. RA.982 radiates wide-eyed optimism: percussion cloaked in foggy, swirling pads and trance-like chords, neatly synched in synthetic glimmers. 

All in all, it's an hour of music crafted for contemplation, collective euphoria, or heads-down epiphany—or for that matter, any moment, really, its emotive depth seemingly endless.

Energy Fields is Gus Paterson’s vinyl debut. One of the brains behind Bokhari Records, this four tracker melts disco, italo and house into a creamy funk fondue. Staggered bleeps and crisp percussion introduce the title piece, samples echo as a squelching thick bassline drops. Countering the fudgey strings are sparkling synthlines, bold brassy analogue bursts tethering the track to the floor. Although tempos drop for “Emotive Feel,” the energy remains high. Robust keys are further fortified by blasts from vintage machines, a free flowing groove lifted into astral jazz. Sharp beats open the flip for “Cyborg Dateline.” Soon, Paterson’s melodic skill takes over. Layers of inspiration are held together by ambling notes. Echoes of cosmic and disco are adopted, a contemporary twist delivered through the complex intertwining of elements. Paterson takes us into the stratosphere for the finale. “Jetpack Joyride” maintains the rhythm of its predecessor, pouring on the funk through daring piano lines and rich strings of double bass. A trip into the beyond from this debutant.

Gus Paterson - Cyborg Dateline

On When Hai Say Hello, E-Gerät & Dan Celot take a playful detour—delivering a track that’s rhythmically loose, sonically rich, and full of character. Built around bouncing basslines, and disctinctive synth motifs, the track balances lightness with complexity. It’s a leftfield disco journey that doesn’t take itself too seriously—yet still lands with precision and style.

The remix comes courtesy of Seebo & Von Spazier, who join forces to rework the original into something more shadowy and hypnotic. Drawing out the deeper tones and restructuring the groove, their version leans into trippy effects, rolling percussion, and a more spacious arrangement—offering a new angle that contrasts and complements the original's charm.

When Hai Say Hello expands the duo’s sonic palette with a wink—offering a fresh, slightly surreal addition to their evolving catalogue.

So I left home the other night – bad vibes, negative energy. Trying to shift my focus back to something positive, I decided to return to the studio. I already had a little setup prepared and wanted to record a new mix anyway… then this happened:

Out of the blue, after about 20 minutes of checking some tunes I wanted to include (I definitely wanted Ernestos / Jonatan Bäckelie’s latest gem in there), the whole thing just took off. I hadn’t prepared all the tracks or checked the transitions beforehand – it was just a rough pool of tracks that jumped out at me that night and somehow caught its spirit.

It’s probably not my tightest mix in terms of perfect sync or harmonic layering, but it feels like one of the mixes that goes deeper into myself, my soul, my world. Without planning it, I ended up picking tunes by artists I’m happy to know or at least to have met in life, on or off stage. I remember that radio show with Robert Owens in Frankfurt, the nights with Luke & Jamie (Jimpster) in Frankfurt and Madrid, and of course our Motorcitysoul collab with Jonatan aka Ernesto.

The 2011 Deetron tune was (and still is) one of my signature tracks this summer. At first I didn’t want to include it – felt too obvious. But this slammer literally forced its way into the mix on the fly. The tune convinced me to take it along for the journey. Thanx, Sam (Deetron)!

So here we go… a short journey and fusion of house, techno, soul, and a touch of jazz. One hour of a very special mix. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do.

Trust The Beat

British producer Antic, though now operating from his base in Barcelona, continues to build a compelling and emotionally resonant catalogue. His work consistently defies simple genre classification, aiming instead to map the complex terrain of human feeling through sound. Following well-received outings on respected imprints like Logia, Clash Lion, and Anjunadeep, he presents the "Suffer in Silence" EP, coming soon on Dreamhouse Recordings. This three-track collection includes the titular piece alongside "Never Stop," a collaboration with vocalist Claudia Georgette, which is offered in both a Club mix and the Dub Version we are examining today.

The pumping Dub Version of “Never Stop” artfully strips back the composition to emphasise a compelling fusion of Post-Punk and Synthpop. The track is built upon a foundation of resonant, deep-set guitar riffs that provide a gritty, driving momentum. Claudia Georgette’s and Antic's vocals take on a more subdued, textured role, weaving through the arrangement rather than dominating it. These elements are enveloped by expansive, dreamy pads that create a rich, atmospheric soundscape. The final product is a cohesive and magnetic piece that channels the best of 80s-inspired, danceable melancholy, earning its place as a genuine Neo Disco treasure reminiscent of New Order's pioneering work.
