This Is Not Draaimolen Festival: DVS1 & Oscar Mulero (11.09.2021)

Born and raised in the Northern region of the Netherlands, Ignez is a sculptor of deep and memorable floor experiences. Infused with the North sea's wild swashes of aqueous envelopes and weatherbeaten programming, the Dutch producer's sets vibrate with a poetic wind and eargasmically hypnotic flow. Unmoored by time and space, his RYC transmission features all that vibin', deep-reachin' jazz, seamlessly woven throughout and geared to have you phasing into Ignez's very own zone effortlessly.

Sam Coates took to techno like a diligent pupil, falling in love with the genre through labels like CLR in the late '00s. It didn't take long for the student to surpass his proverbial teachers. Almost immediately, the Manchester native was putting out pitch-perfect, functional techno records with everything intricately balanced. The requisite move to Berlin only sealed his fate as a future techno luminary, and by now, based in Kyiv, he's one of techno's most reliable, yet exciting, workhorses. Setaoc Mass records (and those on his label, SK_eleven) are minimalist but colossal, deceptively simple but not easy to pull off. 

We've praised him in these pages for his "sense of economy—how to get the hardest impact out of just a few elements," and that's the idea behind his RA Podcast as well. Put together from records old and new, and intricately layered, Coates's mix is like a time-travelling wormhole connecting disparate eras from techno, and highlighting the genre's most timeless attributes: mechanistic rhythms, careful pacing, rudimentary melodies made out of the strangest sounds and, of course, the power of the bass drop. It's hard to imagine anything that sounds more capital-T techno than this mix, which is a high compliment. It's easy to hear why his records and DJ sets are only more in demand from techno heads across the geographical and generational spectrum.

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

DifferentSound invites Steve Rachmad (Amsterdam)

This mix was recorded live at Further @ Radion, Amsterdam, August 26th 2023

The DifferentSound Podcast #310 welcomes Steve Rachmad! We dive deep into the world of Steve Rachmad, an artist whose mastery of drum machines and synthesizers is nothing short of extraordinary. For nearly three decades, Steve has woven his unique talent into every beat and melody, establishing himself as a cornerstone in techno and house music. While the details of his releases and performances are extensive, the true essence of Steve's artistry lies in his unparalleled connection to his gear—his "musical telepathy" with machines like the Roland, Moog, and Linn. With a knack for constantly reinventing himself and blending past inspirations with contemporary sounds, Steve's work resonates across generations. Instead of listing accolades and achievements, we invite you to experience his music firsthand and discover why Steve Rachmad remains a timeless force in electronic music.

REC 25 w/ Nørbak

One of today's driving minds behind textural and barrier-breaking soundscapes, Nørbak fully delivered on that promise in April. Guiding us through layers of gritty textures, deep basslines, and unconventional rhythms, he masterfully creates a dynamic conversation between each element, maintaining control at every turn. The result keeps us on edge, making it a perfect addition to our recorded live at Fuse series.

REC31 w/ Kr!z

Kr!z’s set on December 6th was a raw current of techno’s purest form: unvarnished, methodical, and deeply intentional. Under his Token Records banner, he gave us 120 minutes of stripped-back, high-impact techno, sealing off one of December’s best nights. Relive this standout moment above.
