DifferentSound Podcast Series

We are psyked to host the Madrid-Berlin based artist Psyk, who stands as a solid staple of the current techno scene. The versatility and maturity of his sound and the breadth of his knowledge are clearly displayed in his discography, from feverish tracks like "Arcade" or "Eclipse" to deeper cuts like "Lowdown" or "Fall from Grace". His acclaimed debut album "Time Foundation" on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver was followed up by multiple successful releases on labels such as Tresor Imprint and FUSE imprint among others. A regular at venues like Berghain, DeSchool or Fabric, Psyk has been around the globe sharing his unique blend of techno with the world. The attention to detail and craftsmanship he displays in his own productions has earned him well-deserved praise by industry heavyweights time and time again, be it on his own label Non-Series or elsewhere.

The autumn leaves flying in the air mark a new season, and the next chapter in the Nachtblumen Podcast.  

Thomas Hijmering is a Dutch DJ and Producer coming from Amsterdam. He started exploring music in all its facets from an early age. Curious by nature, and with an eternal drive for experimentation, Thomas has been involved with the local music scene with various projects. 

In the recent years Thomas appeared behind the booth as a part of the duo File Not Found with one of his best briends Brent Jacko, who is now running the independent electronic music platform Minimal Collective. This project focused on the wider spectrum of music, without any limitations or definitions, but one main thing - their immense passion for music. Nowadays, Thomas is also involved and contributing to Minimal Collective too.

In the post pandemic world, Thomas became a resident of the Amsterdam organization Orphic, which has been a big step for his career as a DJ. Being so close in touch with the core community of the Amsterdam music scene, inspires him to evolve as an artist and also help shape the sound of the organization every day. 

Characterized by hypnotizing sounds, groovy rhythms and beautiful layering, Thoms Traxx is an artist that tells a story in every performance of his. He easily adapts, and is capable of creating various atmospheres with a lot of dynamic depending on the place and company he is at. One reason for that is the wide spectrum of music that he appreciates. 

His artistic journey is taking a momentum already, as we are seeing him play internationally in Paris and Berlin, and all over The Netherlands. It's only the beginning for such a talented dedicated young man.

For this podcast, Thomas went deeper into his soul and created a journey that reflects his love for hypnotic techno. The next hour is a beautiful journey, recorded with a lot of thought and feeling, from an artist that surprises his audience every day. Get in the mood for ADE next week and start dancing already! 

Catch Thomas playing alongside Oscar Mulero, Planetary Assault Systems and Talismann at Ratherlost at LoFi. If you don't manage that one, he will be at the CLR stage alongside Chris Liebing at Dockyard Festival too!

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.

Sigha joins for DifferentSound Podcast #139.

James Shaw emerged from London’s burgeoning post-Dubstep scene as Sigha in 2009, with a series of carefully executed releases offering early insight into the producer’s long-lasting preoccupation with intricate sound design and rich tonal finish. Releases on James Ruskin’s Blueprint label, Shifted’s Avian imprint and his own Our Circular Sound have helped flesh out Shaw’s vision of a space where the romantic ideals of Post-Rock & New Wave exist alongside driven, Industrial Noise, wide-angle Drone and IDM. Over the last two years, Shaw has spent the forced time away from touring developing and refining a revised approach towards Techno. Taking a more open stance on both rhythm and structure, the result is a sound that is both agile and heavy hitting, encompassing the totality of his influences but guiding them directly towards the sound system. Move To Speed, released on his own OCS imprint, is the first glimpse into the results of this process. Sigha’s recognition as a producer is consummated by his skill as both DJ and live performer, with his DJ sets channeling the same unyielding energy as his recorded work; oscillating between elongated mixing style and moments of intuitive dynamism, to build a powerful tension on the dance floor.

Reclaim Your City 501 | Quelza (Berlin)

Operating out of Berlin, French DJ and producer Léo Naïtaïssa, alias Quelza, counts as one of the most satisfyingly mature young guns to emerge out the new wave of techno artists that’s been unfurling in recent times. After a couple iterations on the likes of K S R and Hayes, Quelza recently joined the MORD fold with an exquisitely panoramic view into his mental multiverse. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting signature, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure with every next sequence. Prepare to submerge.

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.

DifferentSound invites 10.000 BC (Berlin)

The DifferentSound Podcast #287 welcomes 10.000 BC! 10.000 BC is the new project of .defaultbox label head Patrick. He started his new project in order to tap back into his passion of electronic music he had in over 20 years.

DifferentSound invites Operator (Southsea)

The DifferentSound Podcast #288 welcomes Operator! Operator is the alias of UK Techno artist Rich Jones, who has been DJing since the late 90s and producing since the early 00ʼs. After signing multiple successful 12” E.Pʼs to Soma, 8 Sided Dice and appearing on Richie Hawtinʼs Minus, Rich moved away from the trendy big room sound of the time and created Operator in 2012, to let his creative hair down and experiment with a wider sonic palette. This led to well received vinyl E.Pʼs on Audio Assault and Singular initially, and more recently releases on Mindtrip, Symbolism and a 12” LP on Mord. Rich also runs Gnosis Records, which he reserves for his more quirky and weird creations, occasionally veering into house flavours. Being from the UK, where in the early 00ʼs house and techno were often happy bed fellows, this influence is clear in his heavily groovy, swung style. Although always keeping abreast of current trends, Rich mostly focuses on a timeless ‘keep it different, keep it groovyʼ approach, with a penchant for heavy drums, subtle details in the sequence and lots of analog texture.  Noticeable gigs for Rich have included Tresor, Fold, Corsica Studios and Forsage, but for various reasons in the interest of health Rich has hung up his headphones for the foreseeable future. Rich continues to work tirelessly in the studio, though, and has many forthcoming projects in the works, including an E.P on the venerable Ilian Tape, a second release on Ben Simʼs Symbolism and a 12” on Pleistocene Future along with various plans for Gnosis.
