Rogue Puppet Records returns for their monthly show, featuring Venezuelan born and Bristol based techno Dj, SOTO.

Rogue Puppets Presents #033: SOTO

The Online Dance Music Authority.
Dancing without prejudice since 2008.

Founded in 2022 and based in Leeds, UK, Rogue Puppet Records is more than just an event company and record label—it’s a movement. Inspired by the raw energy and anti-establishment ethos of the early UK techno scene, we stand for uncompromising underground techno, rejecting the mainstream and championing a DIY attitude that puts music and community first.

Over the past few years, we’ve thrown more than 30 events across the UK and Europe, bringing together some of the most respected names in the industry. Our parties aren’t just raves—they’re a rebellion, a middle finger to commercial club culture, where the music is loud, the energy is real, and the system doesn’t call the shots.

In 2024, we launched Rogue Puppet Records, staying true to our underground roots with a label built by artists, for artists. In just a short time, we’ve already made a mark, with Top 10 and Top 20 Beatport chart success and a full release schedule through 2025 across Beatport, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud. We’re here to disrupt, to shake up the scene, and to give a platform to those who refuse to conform.

This is techno with an attitude. No rules, no compromise—just pure, unfiltered sound and a community that refuses to be controlled.

Join us. Cut the strings.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
