I really liked this. Starts off with a bang & never stops. Especially loved the funkier bits. Thank you.

Absolutely digging the sound guys, it's fresh. Many artists promote themselves falsely as bringing a new sound to the game, but you truly do. Keep it going

Louwave & Splinter (UA) [live jam] joins for DifferentSound Podcast #149.

Ukrainian electronic music artists Splinter (UA) and Louwave have joined creative forces for a live project. After several performances, the duo decided to further collaborate and are currently working on a new sound that will significantly differ from what the producers did individually. Having had over 15 years of experience in music, both artists have sought inspiration from the pioneers of the electronic music scene. They seek to add something new to sounds that have long been established. Louwave and Splinter (UA) have initially worked with each other remotely, yet after Tymur’s relocation from Odesa to Lviv, the producers began working in the studio together. Their process is an exploration and the result – a mixture of old-school vibes that ranges from classic techno to tribal groove, which in the end, is the main aspect of the duo’s live performances. When on stage, the Ukrainian artists strongly rely on the communication process between themselves and the audience, which serves as an essential tool that forms their audio narrative. For both Splinter (UA) and Louwave, music has long ceased to be a hobby. Each studio session is a balanced conceptual challenge: they know exactly what kind of sound they want to create, they search for a specific groove, bring out a certain emotion and merge it with their musical research, whilst never violating the aesthetics of genres. Their work is based on mutual respect and, when necessary, they always look for an artistic compromise.

SPOKEN096 - aka Kos

For this edition of the mix series we invited good friend of the collective aka Kos. He pulls the twisted nature of first wave industrial into the 21st century. Through spellbinding techno, murky electronics and a scorched punk fringe, the OOST booker draws experimentation of all decades from the cables and currents. Out the other end flow continuously morphing sets that are all about rewiring notions of brain music and body music. About forging a trance and then distorting it at the right time.

Get cozy and enjoy this trip.

SPOKEN096 - aka Kos

[ENGLISH] Few projects capture the essence of modern progressive trance as perfectly as Protonica.

Originally formed by Piet Kämpfer and Ralf Dietze, the German duo built a unique identity: steady basslines, immersive melodies, and atmospheres that always seem to look toward the future.

In this tribute recorded in 2025, I gathered 22 tracks that showcase the full scope and power of the project. From anthems like Discovery, Gravity, and Northern Storm to memorable collaborations with names such as Liquid Soul, Zen Mechanics, Ace Ventura, and Tristate.

The set also explores powerful remixes like I See The Spirit, The Matrix, and E.B.E, along with special moments like the new track Earthrise and the timeless classic Floating Point, which still resonates on dancefloors today.

More than just a collection of hits, this is a deep dive into Protonica’s signature sound: sophisticated, timeless music that continues to inspire generations.

Hit play — and let me know what you think afterward!

Dream On (DefJamEdit)

As one of our cherished sources of inspiration over recent years, we have techno platform, Monument to thank for leading us to Paula Koski, one of the project’s aspiring curators with a pretty sublime taste in electronic music, in our humble opinion at least.

Paula’s diverse sound stretches from ambient and experimental through to richly layered, dark, hypnotic, psychedelic techno, stitching together memorable musical stories to tantalise our palate and leave us famished for more!

This summer, Paula was pulled in the direction of a whole host of gigs, both at home in beautiful Berlin, and away, joining the likes of Neel, Rrose, Acronym and Luigi Tozzi to cast her spell on lovers of the deep, rhythmic and inebriating sounds we bow down to.

As we creep more closely towards our 100th podcast (brace yourselves!), we invite you to step into Paula’s world and soak up another wholesome serving of On the 5th Day!
