FrenzyPodcast #093 - Arkan

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

Originally from Zottegem in Belgium, Steven Petit is widely regarded as a main player in the Belgian scene for his DJ sets, live shows, and productions. Having grown up in a small town, Petit unsurprisingly moved to one of Belgium’s cultural capitals : Ghent, where he created much of what he is known for today.

A singular, rooted sound has amassed a very impressive back catalog with releases on Token, SK-X, Key Vinyl, and many others including his own Border One Records. Sophisticated in design and effective in practice, these records have given Petit a reputation as a sure shot artist to play in clubs. Minimal elements take space in his cuts and are smeared out to ensure tense blends perfect for mixes, explaining why his tracks have been played by some of the world’s greatest artists in the genre and by himself in his new base Brussels.

HYSPODCAST 036 — Perfo

The Paris based artist dc11 got into making music via modular synthesisers and to this day they are his tool of choice in the studio as well as in clubs. Gravitating towards the loopy side of techno, his live sets always leave a big part to improvisation. Finding ways to slightly shift loops hasn’t lost its appeal yet.

Reclaim Your City 510 | Decoder (Dallas)

A man of intergalactic descent, US-born and based producer Decoder graces us with one of his ever inspired cross-dimensional sonic journeys - the kind of you know will have you sailing off to Saturn’s ring in a flash, but not the date you’ll get back. Cosmically boundless and exploratory by nature, his sound has already conquered the likes of Jeff Mills’ future-facing Axis imprint, Codec, Float and Subsist, establishing a non-pareil signature sound in today’s techno landscape; both unique in the experience it offers and palette it delves from. Out-of-this-world in all regards, tune in for a proper engrossing alien-engineered jaunt in the greater void.

BIO:
“Don’t be scared to do what makes you happy, even though it means going against the stream. Make art the way art is beautiful for you.
”Simone Scardino has created a musical style and vision that truly is his own, sharing it with the world with his new solo project CONCEPTUAL.
Techno is body music. It’s all about this special feeling that you have when your mind disconnects and your body just follows the music, the feeling of freedom when you dance. 
Simone’s vision of techno unceasingly characterizes his unique productions as well as his DJ sets. Colorful and energetic techno, a powerful explosion of craziness and happiness at the same time. 
Three-dimensional spatial sounds combined with gentle but determined drum grooves create a mystical whirling result and a killer stereo experience. 
Last year Simone founded the Berlin based art and music collective Friendship Collective. Through his devotion to techno and visual and performance arts the idea for CONCEPTUAL was born. 
His performances will often be characterized by collaborations with visual artists and performers, creating a special techno experience for the people that come to see him play. 
Simone’s progressive approach to producing and DJing as well as his collaborations with artists in and outside music reflects his artistic vision and goals as much as his spirited personality, and, in its essence, embodies what CONCEPTUAL represents.

Dinamite joins for DifferentSound Podcast #164.

Dinamite ( Onna Bushi, Tresor / Berlin ) Passion, conviction and respect for club culture: these three conditions are the infallible formula that Dinamite has adopted to connect with the public through an intelligible Techno sound as a fundamental expressive language. Born in the city of Madrid, Spain and possessing an overwhelming creative energy and restlessness, Ana Zaragoza took her first steps in the Madrid electronic music scene by frequenting the booths of cult clubs. But it was not in Spain, but in Germany, where She consolidated his career, establishing herself in the city of Berlin in 2012. Recognized as one of the cultural capitals of Europe and cradle of Techno sound, the air of freedom and rebellion that prevailed more than 30 years after the fall of the wall is still perceived in its streets. The Berlin creative atmosphere has become the ideal environment for hundreds of artists from different disciplines who live daily exchanging ideas and collaborating in their work. Integrated to the pulse of this cosmopolitan city, the artist immediately absorbed the codes of a sound with her own name. Some years elapsed since Dinamite became a resident of the legendary Tresor club, epicenter of the world Techno culture. In the same space, the artist directs the New faces cycle, a launching platform for new talent from around the world that seeks to expand the great Techno family. With a powerful and dynamic sound, a sustained and projected energy, achieving an overwhelming combo for any Techno fan, Dinamite explores the possibilities that this musical genre gives in blunt sets that take her to tour the most important European clubs in the underground circuit. Lover of working in the studio and in a creative process in constant development, She creates her musical proposals with a vibrant sound palette with tones that range from the purity of industrial sounds to the saturation of the darkest, producing unique pieces with a very personal aesthetic. Currently, Dinamite has just released her new imprint Onna Bushi Records, that lands on the international scene, as a platform for artistic visibility, with the persevering drive of a community that accepts the challenge of reinventing itself. DJ, producer, curator or snake charmer, whatever role Dinamite adopts testifies that we are facing a talented and multifaceted artist, who lives and breathes electronic music making her a philosophy of life.

In the early 90s, techno hits Japan. Surprised and intrigued, Takaaki Itoh was impressed with this sound. This unique style of beats revealed the gateway to a world of underground music in Japan, something he had never heard before.
Surprise slowly gave way to addiction when Takaaki Itoh heard the sound of such artists like UR, Derrick May, Axis, Hardfloor, Sven Väth, Harthouse, Warp and Rising High. 
Finding out he just couldn't get enough of it, in 1994 Takaaki Itoh began to organise his own techno parties in Norioka Iwate, having success by providing fantastic line ups.

In 1996, he decided that it was time to start making his own tracks, so he went out, purchased the vital instruments and began producing. 
After sending out 3 finished tracks to various labels, Electracom UK made the first contact with him, and followed to release his first track. This moment was something he will never forget, as for the first time in his life he was able to finally release his own record. 
Then several releases followed and he began to appear in DJ charts and magazines all over the world.

Takaaki Itoh's Japanese style of techno is purely unique, underground and nothing that had been heard before in Europe. 
In a couple of years, he became recognized as the most underground and expected japanese Techno DJ.
Takaaki Itoh has now taken the next step and started his own label Wols, whilst keep playing in great venues wolrdwide.
