@octalindustries is the solo project of Jónas Thor Gudmundsson. The project was originally founded in 2003 by Jonas and Mike Sickinger, the founder of the Octal label. The debut release of their collaboration was the Automatik EP on the Transistor Rhythm output. Couple of years later they joined their friend Deep Chord for a shared 12“ release, which today is a quite a valuable gem for dub techno lovers. The three of them joined hands together later that year to create a 3x12“ release undir the pseudonym Spectral Network. The release was quite limited (111 copies) and was considered one of the most interesting 12“ releases that year by many critics. 
After the release of the Spectral Network eps the duo went for hiatus as other projects took over, also as opportunity for musical collaborations became harder as the Atlantic Ocean divides them. Jonas continued working on other projects as @ruxpin – producing numerous releases along the way. 
In 2011 the duo was asked by the French independent label @entropy-records to do some releases. As Michael was unable to participate, Jonas went on solo and worked on a full-length release, which later became Meeting of the Waves LP. Another remix followed for G.R.I.T. which was hailed by dubtechnoblog.com as the best remix of the year 2012.   
In more recent years, Octal Industries has been working on numerous collaborations with artists such as fellow Icelander @ohm-599575574 - and fruits of their work has been released on labels such as @thule-records, Rawax, @luckofaccess, @allinnrecords and many more. 
Octal Industries also released works independently in 2019 an EP entitled Julia Sets on @kontaktrecordscph, which featured a remix from the Detroit legend @mikehuckaby – and his second full-length album Our Seasons, which was released on Vertex in December 2019. 
Octal Industries, although being Icelandic in origin, works and resides in Tallinn, Estonia.

THE SOUND OF: ROGER GERRESSEN & his aliases Sahasrahla, Monoaware, Gasometric Run & Unknown Artist 

The following series was founded to acknowledge producers for their influence on shaping the sound in the electronic music genre while simultaneously showcasing the distinctive musical style of each artist, featuring both released and unreleased music in an all-original podcast format.

K92 aims to reintroduce a sense of mystery surrounding artists by bringing back the focus on the music itself and creating a blank slate for listeners to develop their own interpretations. As a result, the sets on this platform do not include any press photographs or biographies. Instead, each set has been personally signed by the artist to complete their signature sound.

#EZKST021 - HEIDE.

⛅ dubby dreams ⛅

in dieser cast-away-folge begrüßen wir einen echten musikliebhaber hinter den decks: TOM., der seine musikalischen wurzeln in berlin geschlagen hat – dort, wo er über jahre hinweg tief in die elektronische musik eingetaucht ist.

seine reise begann früh: mit 18 stand er vor der wahl: führerschein oder plattenspieler? zum glück für uns entschied er sich für letzteres. seitdem sind 23 Jahre vergangen, in denen https://soundcloud.com/tom-punkt mit leidenschaft, gespür und hingabe platten auflegt.

seine mühen bei der trackauswahl und seine wertschätzung für jeden track geben den hörer*innen zeit, wirklich einzutauchen in die geschichten, die TOM. mit seinen sets zu erzählen vermag - egal ob beim warmup für eine durchtanzte nacht oder auf der endlos langen afterhour danach.

greetz,

cast away #006 w/ TOM.

Unfortunately, the first 20 minutes of the set are missing — but don’t worry, it was an unreleased track by Jonaku x a:side, and chances pretty high that you’ll hear it very soon 😁
The rest of the night is all here – raw, loud, and straight from the floor. 
Enjoy the ride!

KOOKYCAST #41 - DEAF CAN DANCE born with significant hearing loss, Deaf Can Dance has never treated it as a limitation. Nearly two decades deep into the Polish electronic scene, he’s been on a continuous search — drifting through genres, exploring what lies between the lines.

He hears things differently — maybe less technically, more intuitively — and that’s exactly what makes his sets so compelling. There’s no formula. Instead of chasing trends, he weaves together hypnotic rhythms and offbeat textures to create a space where the music truly connects.

He plays to the moment. A sunrise set in the forest sounds nothing like a late-night session in a packed club. He reads the room — or the land — and lets the music speak.

He’s also the mind behind OUTER SPICE, a podcast and event series for artists who like to dig deeper. Over the years, it’s welcomed names like Adiel, Ogazon, Youandewan, Kotelett, Dave Dinger, and JUST2 — selectors who follow their own path.

He’s not here for the spotlight. He’s here for those who feel music — the ones who close their eyes when they dance.

Sorry for the break around 1h in. The battery let us down so we had no power for a minute.
Also some bass feedback from the turntables on a few tracks.

Still very happy with the set and the whole party!

Gotta prepare better the next time ;)
