Decoder for DifferentSound Podcast #261.

Decoder is a Dallas based music producer and DJ specializing in the realm of sci-fi & deep techno. His music is often filled with ambitious soundscapes, rolling sequences, and off kilter sound design.

Early in March 2021, Decoder saw his first release "The  Futurist" come to life on the Italian label "Antiterra". Following the EP came a consistent schedule of releases, including releases on labels such as Bomphcast, Srie Records, and his own imprint Codec Recordings. The year also saw the release of his first album, "Monolithic Activity Spectrum" on the Spanish label "Subsist". Decoder ended the year with his second album release "Dark Shape", which was put out on Jeff Mills' legendary imprint "Axis".

The first half of 2022 showed no signs of slowing down, as Decoder's "Moro Safa EP" was released on Amsterdam based label "Float Records". It also saw the third full length album titled "Plurality Module" released on Subsist. The  latter half of the year saw his first 12" vinyl release  "Singularity 2" released  on Dallas native label "Science Cult", as well as his follow up release on Float Records titled "Kanavugal".

These releases have also garnered Decoder support from many artists including the likes of Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Ben Sims, Jeroen Search, TWR72, Yanamaste, to name a few. 

Decoder's touring schedule has also seen notable moments, including shows played for Infra (Boston), BCCO (Berlin), Cialo (Poland), Neighbourhood (London), among others.

Parabel Podcast #71 - Ray Kajioka

Actively pushing hard-boiled techno wares and heavyweight floor artillery for breakfast, German jockey and producer Markus Suckut punches in with two hours of unrelenting dance floor hoodoo on our next installment. With a rather extensive catalogue of big-room rippers under his belt - including choice outings on Odd Even, Primordial State (a label he co-operates alongside Sven Eickhoff) and his own imprint, SCKT, Suckut pumps out a massively smashing two-hour mix for us, packed with his textbook industrial-leaning punch, a certain taste for laser-guided 4x4 stunts and further off-axis grooves straight out techno's outer space. Hop in for a mind-bending dive into a fractal-like torrent of raving material, honed and polished to deadly effect.

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to welcome Berlin-based DJ & producer : KWARTZ (Pole Group / SK_Eleven).

Kwartz is the stage name of Mario Campos, born in Madrid in 1989 and now based in Berlin.

In late 2011 and after publishing several EP’s in different international labels, Kwartz's productions began to draw the attention of the leading names in the international scene, so in 2013 Exium released a split EP with him called Fenomen, which was his first release on vinyl.

In late 2013 Kwartz joined PoleGroup and became part of the booking roster of the label commanded by Oscar Mulero, where he began to release his works regularly. In addition to PoleGroup, his tracks have appeared in several of the most important international labels, such as 47 (Tommy Four Seven’s label), Mord Records, Semantica, Horo or Warm Up Recordings.

2016 brings the launch of his own label: Order&Devotion, where he will release those of his works which move between dark atmospheres and deep and visceral sounds, all surrounded by rhythms designed for the dance floor.

His sets could be described with three words: raw, mental and groovy, in which he pushes the dancefloor to a constantly state of tension.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #189 -- KWARTZ

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @yantmusicuk for its 116th episode of Amplify Series.

Manchester-based Yant has a reputation for his meticulously designed productions and dark, groovy, powerful DJ sets.

Signing records to Setaoc Mass’s SK_Eleven X, Token Records, and originally BLACKAXON the producer has a solid backing of Techno’s most important figures. Keeping things fresh and moving forward his productions deliver alluring grooves, hypnosis-inducing sounds and rich powerful beats. Each track has distinct personalities and psychoacoustic details to build worlds of their own, always ready to take you to the next place.

Berghain, Bassiani ∄ K-41, Fold and The White Hotel, are just a few of the clubs which have experienced his ability to grip the dancefloor. Full of energy, pushing it to the limits, he rides on the verge of things falling apart, almost close to apocalyptic, but saving you with a surprise up his sleeve. With an open minded passion for music and diverse collection, setting the tone at the start of the night using interesting atmospheres is something he appreciates and makes it his mission to subtly drift with you into the full speed of the night. Whether it’s at the beginning or end of the night, one thing’s for sure, you’re in for a ride.

Amplify Series 116 - Yant

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.
