"In keeping with the cold season, I recorded a slightly darker set. My birth month January is the height of winter, so I immersed myself completely in this frosty atmosphere while mixing. Paired with a good dose of percussions and tribal elements, the result is a mix that is driving, sharp and yet melancholic and deep".

ÜBERKIKZ combines driving kicks, tooly synths, and tribal and folkloric elements into a
hypnotic journey. With each kick, she tells stories that resonate deeply, encouraging a
confrontation with one's origins. Free from thought, almost instinctively, her sets are a call to surrender to the moment and experience all these raw emotions in its purest form.
At the heart of her sets lies the belief that we all share a common origin — beyond
nationality, culture, gender or sexuality. Music is the universal bond that unites us, and this is the essence ÜBERKIKZ aims to express through her art: the power of rhytms to bring us
together as a community and remind us of the unity of all humanity.

BCCO Mix Series 538: ANNĒ | BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ | International Women's Day

Elisa Bee is a DJ, producer, and record collector with a deep passion for music, spanning jazz, reggae, hip-hop, rock, house, and techno. Originally from Sardinia and now based in Milan, she has been DJing for over 17 years, blending past influences with forward-thinking sounds.

Her productions have earned international recognition, with releases on Symbolism, Hardgroove, Truncate, Unknown To The Unknown, Balkan Vinyl, I Love Acid, and ANAØH. Recently, she has explored techno with strong ’90s hardgroove influences, including a collaborative EP with Detroit legend Rolando (2024).

Recognised by Resident Advisor as one of Italy’s finest selectors, she is a resident DJ at Tempio Del Futuro Perduto and has been a regular at Berghain since 2023. Her sound—groovy, acid-tinged, dark yet energetic—has been featured on HATE, Awakenings, Slam Radio, and RA Podcast. Every set is a journey.

For this special mix for our BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ takeover for International Women's Day, Elisa Bee has crafted a selection entirely from 1991—the year she first realised music would define her life. 

Unlike some other artists, she didn’t grow up in a musical household or inherit a record collection; her passion for music was innate. As she immersed herself in dance and electronic music, she became obsessed with understanding its roots, digging through Discogs to build an archive of essential tracks, EPs, and albums. 

Naturally organised, she began cataloguing music year by year, starting with 1991—a pivotal year for techno, house, and breakbeat. This mix is her tribute to that era—an homage to the sounds that shaped her.

BCCO Mix Series 540: Elisa Bee | BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ | International Women's Day

The Muffin Man is a rising force in electronic music, turning heads with both her distinctive name and boundary-pushing sound. Set to make international debuts at clubs like Khidi, RSO, and Intercell, she has built a reputation for her clean-cut, genre-blurring style—what she calls “sewer grooves.” Blending rolling basslines with elements of tech-house, psy tech, and hard groove, her high-energy sets deliver a fresh, danceable, and infectious sound.

This special mix for our BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ takeover for International Women's Day was recorded in her home studio in Berlin, capturing tracks that reflect her current inspirations. 

She weaves together different genres, allowing them to shift naturally after a few similar-sounding tracks—both for the fun of mixing and to showcase electronic music’s overlooked sides, including tech-house. Her aim is to embrace inclusivity in sound and expand what it means to be a techno artist today.

BCCO Mix Series 537: The Muffin Man | BCCO x ÜBERKIKZ | International Women's Day

As the first female resident at both Vision Ekstase and Lehmann Club Stuttgart, NAZZ has carved out her place as a true pioneer. Her sound blends minimalistic, driving, and tribal grooves with deep, seductive basslines, delivering a powerful energy on the dance floor.

Where do I begin building my playlist with such an incredible amount of music and sub genres of techno available. 
What an amazing time to be alive. 
First playlist had 255 tracks so got split 3 ways;       Firstly groove, ghetto, samba and tribal, second much harder, edgier and deeper hard groove, third much older techno/ trance production I became immersed in on the dance floor way back and lastly hardcore,breakbeat and jungle from around 1993.
There’s so much more to find and add.
Such a joy to hear so many amazing tracks again and add them to playlists ready to learn how to mix finally.
It’s going to be an endless journey and very rewarding. I’d do it for a living if asked to.

I’m not a DJ, producer or artist but a lover of many sub genres of techno and dancing to it and started the journey way back in 1993 with hardcore breakbeat then jungle. 
Now into hard, melodic, groovy, breakbeat, tribal, ghetto techno with minimal breaks: 
Hard groove / Hardgroove - the ultimate genre and it just keeps getting better and better. 

Now the owner 2 turntables and a 4 a channel stand alone mixer 33 years after my first rave way back in 1993 at Desire, Roller Express and still have the flyer.  With so much amazing music available and the inspiration from so many superb artists and DJ’s it will be an amazing experience.
See you on a dance floor just make sure to keep up 🔊


Techno
Hardgroove techno is a sub-genre of techno that dates back to the 90's. The genre emphasizes rhythm and groove, featuring syncopated, funky beats and prominent, bouncy basslines. It stands out with its dynamic, percussive elements and energetic, danceable aggressive vibe. Often incorporating melodic or atmospheric touches, hardgroove techno blends influences from funk, breakbeat, and tribal music, creating a distinctive sound that's both rhythmically complex and highly engaging on the dancefloor.
