Lindsey Herbert is a prominent figure in today's techno scene, particularly renowned across the US’ Southwest for her unwavering dedication to techno's more underground sounds and sound design, and her ability to command crowds no matter the circumstances.  

Beginning as a young raver with an intense passion for dance music and its community, Lindsey began her own musical journey at the age of 15 and has been at it for nearly half of her life. Since her first gig in 2014, she has been a fixture alongside top-tier artists in the bustling scenes of Los Angeles and San Francisco, leaving an indelible mark on both cities. Originally a resident and booker of Robot Ears and now a resident of Direct to Earth, Lindsey has been an integral part of San Francisco's techno landscape, while also gracing the stages of prominent LA promoters such as OBSERVE, Synthetik Minds, 6AM, Dirty Epic, RE/FORM, and more. Her influence extends beyond borders with steady headlining gigs both domestically and internationally, while her more recent relocation to Phoenix sees her actively nurturing the local techno community as a resident of Techno Snobs. 

In 2019, Lindsey made her solo production debut on LA's Ascetic Limited, marking the beginning of a prolific journey in the studio. Her discography has grown exponentially, with recent drops on esteemed U.S. underground labels like Truncate, 4-Trk, Blank Code, Northern Parallels, and Crisis of Man, as well as notable European and South American imprints such as Noise Manifesto, Planet X, NECHTO, Suara and many others. The future holds even more promise with countless forthcoming releases on the horizon.

However, Lindsey's trajectory extends far beyond her production career. Notably, she graced the stages of Movement Festival in Detroit and the iconic Tresor in Berlin in 2023, further solidifying her presence on the global stage. Additionally, she was personally invited by techno luminary Richie Hawtin to tour throughout North America as part of his From Our Minds concept, further cementing her status in the industry. 

In a noteworthy evolution, Lindsey's personal sound has transitioned to a more hypnotic, groovy, and dancefloor-oriented style. Her sets, ranging from ambient to deep to peak-time and high-energy, are meticulously crafted to suit the atmosphere, aiming to immerse listeners in a captivating journey and lock them into a relentless groove.

Beyond her performances and productions, Lindsey is also a co-founder of EvilGroove, a burgeoning label that continues to expand its roster of talented emerging artists. The label has been actively hosting showcases, providing a platform for the next generation of techno talent to shine.

With her dynamic sound, magnetic stage presence, and relentless dedication to pushing boundaries, Lindsey Herbert stands as a formidable force in the technosphere, leaving an indelible mark wherever she goes.

Recorded live at Demolition Berlin on July 19, 2025, this set by Feinherb captures a night marked by tension, flow, and intensity. Now released as part of the Syncast series, it offers a glimpse into the duo’s evolving sound.

Feinherb emerged from a close musical connection between Max (Maximus) and Leon (K49). What began as shared studio sessions quickly turned into a natural collaboration shaped by trust, structure, and creative freedom.

Both Artists bring years of experience as DJs, producers, and heads of their own labels and event series. Max runs Voyeuristic Disorder and is part of Demolition Berlin, while Leon curates Legion Berlin. 
Their solo styles differ – Max tends toward raw, driving energy, Leon toward big room and wide textures. As Feinherb, they find a new balance: structured yet free, groovy, gritty, and full of playful tension.

017 - DANYA

(interview below)
Danya is a Germany-based DJ, producer, and member of the 6D. collective with residencies at PAL (Hamburg) and Bunker Club (Kiel). Since her debut EP Self Destructive Mechanism (2023), she has released on labels such as Nyxii, Kluster, and Sine Space 7, with her first solo vinyl Sonata (2024) circulating in DJs’ record bags worldwide. She has performed across Europe in clubs such as Tresor (Berlin), Rex Club (Paris), and PAL (Hamburg). Beyond her music, she is engaged in neuroscience research, working at the crossroads of sound, perception, and the brain.

INTERVIEW
How do you balance your identity as a researcher and your identity as an artist — do they blend, or do you keep them separate worlds?

They definitely blend. My work in neuroscience constantly shapes how I think about sound, rhythm, and perception, and I can’t really separate that from what I do as an artist. I am now building a project where these worlds meet more explicitly. My vision is a platform or environment where neuroscience and sound art directly inform each other. That intersection is what excites me the most.

If someone listened to one of your sets or tracks with no context, what would you want them to feel or understand about you?

I’d want them to feel like there’s thought behind every sound, even if they don’t know the story. I try to make tracks that move and evolve, so that people can get lost in them. Even without context, it’s important to me that the music communicates some energy and emotion. I’d like people to sense curiosity and exploration. And ideally, to leave them a little inspired or reflective.

What do you wish the techno scene would talk about more openly?

I think we need to have a more honest conversation about the culture itself. The very culture that claims to empower us is still built on dynamics that endanger us. Harassment and abuse are still happening behind the scenes, and a lot of it gets quietly ignored. It’s time to question the framework we’ve accepted. I’d love to see us reset a little, put the community and the values back at the center, and open the door to more diverse and respectful voices.

GANNEIN Invited by Pygments | A 4-Hour Afterparty Opening  | Recorded Live at Glazart, Paris FR

An extended opening session, weaving exclusive unreleased productions with a raw, textured selection to construct the night's foundation.

This recording documents that process in real time: four hours of reading the room's energy and guiding its momentum from the first arrivals into the depth of the afterparty. The set unfolds across four decks, concluding its final thirty minutes on a condensed setup as the main room was reconfigured for the exterior stage. The recording is complete, capturing the full narrative save for the final ten minutes, which were ceded to facilitate this technical transition.

An authentic document of a night's evolution.

Thank you again for the invite,

Gannein

Let It Rip

“After the Rain” introduces forward movement. Built around a steady, understated groove, the track unfolds slowly, letting the atmosphere breathe. Subtle modulation, restrained percussion, and a hypnotic backbone reflect that moment where clarity returns. Transitional, grounded, and quietly insistent.
