@arma_bln returns to .defaultbox with “Urban Tales”, a four-track EP shaped by the energy of a city where techno isn’t just music, it’s a way of life. Following his contribution to Various Artists 015 with “Jupiter Junit”, this release pushes his sound further, channeling fleeting moments into pure, gritty atmosphere and rhythm. Each track acts as a gateway, pulling you into unfamiliar urban landscapes, places on the edge of memory and imagination, built for dance floors that never stop.

MWTG 436 | Forest (@huseyn_forest)

'As a lover of long sets, this one is no exception. Spanning just over two hours, the mix tells a story that begins with an iconic intro track by Geometric Vision and closes with the raw, beautiful power of Valerie Ace. In between, you’ll hear a journey through industrial, raw techno, wild EBM, and the unmistakable influence of the legendary Ancient Methods, whose impact has shaped much of my today techno style. It’s also important to highlight the influence of the @khidi club, their residents, sound, and values. Several tracks in the mix are produced by KHIDI artists, who consistently contribute to the darker side of the electronic scene with high-quality releases. Local Krakow clubs also play a key role, giving me space to perform, grow, dance, and be an active part of the music community. Long story short: this set is about passion, energy, and desire'.

.

Despite a deep, interdisciplinary love for electronic music and a sharp ear for hidden gems across genres, Forest’s core sound is rooted in industrial, raw, hard techno, EBM, and dark wave. His guiding principle behind the decks is to always honor the energy and storytelling of the set while keeping people dancing. An active figure in Krakow’s underground nightlife scene, Forest is not only a dedicated DJ but also the founder of Citadel a community and event series built around electronic music and the values of freedom, equality, and self-expression. He plays across nearly every venue in Krakow and beyond, spreading raw sound and underground values that transcend music. For Forest, it’s not just a sound it’s a lifestyle rooted in openness, freedom, and resistance to conformity.

Duplicity 143 | @k-h1

We are super excited to present the 143rd episode from K-H1!

Resident of @resurrection_berlin, @figments - K-H1 is a music project by Berlin-based Sergey Barinov in collaboration with Luke Mombrea. K-H1’s vision is to be boundary-pushing: weaving together pulsating rhythms and striking, tripped-out soundscapes to create a tight, yet distinct techno sound.

His sets mirror his bold production style. Oscillating between dark, vibrant, and cinematic themes underlined by heavy, driving grooves, he invites listeners to embark on a hypnotic journey together.

K-H1’s releases have garnered recognition and support from influential figures, and have graced venues such as Berghain, RSO, Bassiani, and Smolna38. Quickly establishing a unique presence on the techno scene, K-H1 is one to watch.

As usual, turn up the volume and enjoy the mix!

Duplicity 143 | K-H1

Recorded live at Demolition Berlin on July 19, 2025, this set by Feinherb captures a night marked by tension, flow, and intensity. Now released as part of the Syncast series, it offers a glimpse into the duo’s evolving sound.

Feinherb emerged from a close musical connection between Max (Maximus) and Leon (K49). What began as shared studio sessions quickly turned into a natural collaboration shaped by trust, structure, and creative freedom.

Both Artists bring years of experience as DJs, producers, and heads of their own labels and event series. Max runs Voyeuristic Disorder and is part of Demolition Berlin, while Leon curates Legion Berlin. 
Their solo styles differ – Max tends toward raw, driving energy, Leon toward big room and wide textures. As Feinherb, they find a new balance: structured yet free, groovy, gritty, and full of playful tension.

Feinherb - Syncast [SYN220]

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.

Mastered By Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Mastering

Chilean based producer Diego Oroquieta returns to Soma for his 2nd full release with the Aquadance EP. Armed with 4 uniquely produced and distinct tracks, Oroquieta moves easily between warping and hypnotic sounds to more tougher and abrasive material. I Finished My Homework is a relentless, drum heavy opener that leans on a hard hitting and continuous rhythm while title track, Aquadance, takes a deeper, hypnotic route with pulsating, warping synths creating a dark tension throughout. La Serpiente Perdio Su Rumbo once again brings Oroquietas tougher sound as pounding drums back looped out synths before Amazing Dance closes out the release with distorted and unyielding power
