Techno set for Exil Factory DJ Contest 

Release : 17/01/2022

Dialect #009 (Exil Contest)

Born in Algeria, and raised between France and the Netherlands, with a later stint in London, Mary Lake has lived a life through the lens of different cultures, each adding a little more to her experience in the realm of electronic music. It wasn’t always her medium, but in DJing she’s found her most authentic voice, with her start at more intimate house parties, then on to the best and brightest of Dutch clubs and festivals. For her, creative discovery and expanding the limits of craft is key, covering both the range of utilitarian techno and more atypical sounds, the likes of which she was apt to share via her experimental pandemic-era radio show Worshipping Discordia. Alongside that, and a slew of catchy releases, she’s now a Spielraum resident and frequently billed on stages from Dekmantel to De School to Tresor, Bassiani and beyond. Her percussive techno spreads the kind of wildly infectious crowd energy that drew a younger her towards it many moons ago, now she's on the inside looking out. Bassiani Podcast 209 is an hour of vanguard beats delivered fresh by this burgeoning selector, driving and serpentine basslines to rattle your musical senses.

V:SONNTAG @vsonntag is based in Leipzig and primarily plays techno. With a passion for Psytech and Psytrance, she explores the Psy scene alongside her usual sound.

I dont often share recordings from my longer club sets but Open Ground is somewhere i instantly felt comfortable and I enjoyed these 6 hours so much that I felt compelled to share them with you.

Hands down, one of the best, if not THE best soundsystem in the world right now! If you ever get the chance to experience it, don’t miss out.

Enjoy!

Lacchesi delivers a dynamic blend of futuristic loops and minimal grooves with finesse, capturing a delicate balance between tension and release. Renowned for his fast-paced, high-energy DJ sets, Lacchesi takes a more introspective turn here, layering jittery melodies and experimental textures with a keen sense of dance-floor exploration. It’s a mix made for golden hour, perfectly tuned for that unforgettable sunset festival moment.

Pink Concrete describes himself as someone who does pink touches to concrete music.' This can be seen in his production and his style of mixing, as he is not afraid to add something light-hearted to techno music, which is a genre often understood as being quite serious. However, he still tends to travel through a range of emotions; there's always a hint of melancholia in his sets.
