[NSR001] Bailey Ibbs - Volta EP

Power Dynamics is the debut by FORUM on OOM Records. Four powerful tracks with a perfectly crafted late 90's feel. Fast, loopy tools to create serious damage. Opening track 'Backstab' starts full force in energy. Deep basses, smart stabs and an ongoing sequence. Second track 'Convince' continues with the same energy. Heavy stabs, bold basses and strong beats. 

On the flip side we have 'Confront'. Different ingredients, same execution. Closing track 'Stalk' delivers a solid groove with subtle details. An impressive debut by FORUM, todays tastemaker.

LIMITED EDITION CD Available!

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Hailing originally from Milan, Italy, the young Alarico has been popping up left and right internationally on various flyers and record releases, both of them hinting at a great career in the making. Part of a new freshman class of artists working on raw, deep, and quick techno, his productions often result in psychotic effect. Fast, swinging hats chase a rolling synth line made only more erratic by confronting stabs.

In an era where emulating vintage sound is the trend, Alarico takes the best of the past and extracts the cheapness before looking forward, creating records of very reliable effect that have been employed by the world’s top selectors. Taking all of this into account, it would only make sense to have him release on HAYES collective, do a 14-track mental breakdown of a record on Diffuse Reality, do his first contribution to Token, or deliver probably his most successful release yet on Amsterdam’s OOM Records.

Philippa Pacho is back on Bassiani airwaves for Podcast 178. The dynamic artist behind positivesource and STHLM Murder Girls knows a thing or two about setting a crowd in motion. Her shapeshifting beats and unmatched energy fast making her a household name far outside her native Sweden and more recent Berlin base. Her residency at Stockholm mainstay Under Bron is about a decade old, but there’s not even so much as a suggestion of hesitancy or weariness in her work, carrying a passion that’s infectious, and as palpable in a club as it is on screen (check out her recent sets on Hör). Her Techno really is powerful stuff, a sustained sonic onslaught, an unyielding beast, hulking and formidable but also smart. For many DJs whose sound is so heavily reliant on bass to carry forth their message, a slip into monotony wouldn’t be entirely unpredictable, but Philippa’s cunning use of supporting effects and melody keeps even a 6 hour journey like this one interesting from start to finish. This up and coming doyenne of loop Techno really is a force like no other.

Akua is a Ghanaian-American DJ with roots in North American techno but exemplifies a sonic force that reverberates worldwide. A powerful fixture in the NYC scene for the past six years, she's cemented herself as one of the most distinctive techno DJs coming out of the U.S. in recent years. She has been at the forefront of a new generation of techno artists who find inspiration in the raw, innovative and rebellious spirit of old school techno. Her practice is a passionate dedication to archiving & activating timeless strains of raw and mechanized expression - fusing the new school of North American machine funk while harkening back to the innovation of Detroit, Chicago, & New York City DJs throughout history. A recent move to Berlin, a city that has held a crucial role in the evolution of techno, has provided her with the opportunity to further develop her craft by embracing the transcontinental connection that originally ignited the techno movement.  

All this plays out in Akua's blazing sets heard around the world - from exerting her renowned vigor behind the decks at hometown haunts like Basement and Public Records to unleashing landmark sets at Dekmantel, Draaimolen, & Berghain. Already seasoned on the European tour circuit, she continues to garner respect and delight from the most discerning of DJs & dancers alike through her fierce mixing finesse and constantly expanding repertoire of futureproof classics.

#SlamRadio - 572 - Akua

Active for nearly three decades, Japanese DJ and producer Takaaki Itoh has been carving out a niche truly his own in the realm of deep techno. Pumping out multi-sensory DJ tools for breakfast, Itoh champions a sound highly dynamic yet infused with the kind of minute textural work and layers of modular complexity one can not but marvel at. Punching in with a wild two hours of electro-magnetic hardware funk and entrancingly immersive brainwaves, the Sendai-based wizard elevates us to a whole new world where hi-tech submersion and atmospheric club music reign supreme. A work of art.

HADONE dj set @fuse 03.03.24

Everyone has a particular set by @anabelarroyo that stays in their mind forever. 

Whether it was her debut in these halls five years ago, or perhaps her spellbinding @tech-couture closing, or something more recent such as her MORD or Mala Junta appearances, all will have fallen under her enchantments at some point. This is Anabel’s world, and we’re just living in it. 

Last month, Anabel added one more to that list, bringing to a close our UNFOLD Bank Holiday Edition. 
 Today, we bring you this set. 

‘Anabel Arroyo - LIVE AT UNFOLD LXXVI’ is now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Rec 23 w/ Civic Instruction (live by Hadone & UFO95)

They are two musical identities that form a unique blend of techno's cutting-edge. Hodone's raw percussive flair and UFO95's grit were omnipresent earlier this month.

Under the new alias 'Civic Instruction' the pair holds tension like no other. June 1st was a testament to their evolving sound and approach to live sets as they seek to translate their performative chemistry into punching frequencies. An intense hour of subtle narration awaits as we're proud to host it as our twenty-third podcast series installment.

Civic Instruction (live by Hadone & UFO95) — Recorded Live at Fuse Brussels (01/06/2024)

It's with utter joy that we present this groundbreaking, genre-bending debut album from the Humanoids project.  A sonic experiment brought to life by psytrance veterans Illumination and Sandman, two legendary vibe architects who've been shaping the psychedelic trance scene since the '90s.

In an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated media, 'Becoming Human' stands as a bold statement in the opposite direction for a more hands-on approach to life. Every sound on the album has been lovingly sculpted with masterful knob-twiddling, slider-finessing and deep sonic intuition. This warm, human touch pulses through every moment of the album's journey.

It gets deep, dank, and dirty with precision crafted techy edginess, while keeping a child-like cheekiness and playful grooviness throughout. Psytrance for the heads, the heart, and the humans.

The album features 9 mind-warping tracks, including collaborations with Atmos, Martian Arts and Braincell, and a deeply reinvigorated remix of the Eat Static's classic: 'Contact'.

It's time to unplug and embrace your human self in all its beautiful glory.
