As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. 

The first time we featured DJ Nobu on the RA Podcast, over ten years ago, we called him "one of Japan's best DJs." In hindsight, i think we can all agree that the country qualifier is no longer necessary: he's one of the world's best DJs, bar none. An absolute master at curating and mixing techno, Nobu has helped to inspire a Japanese school of techno that is psychedelic, hypnotic and often very pretty, without losing the genre's oomph or edge. And he's more popular than ever around the world, playing some of the best parties and clubs in pretty much any country or city you could name.

But DJ Nobu's roots and heart are close to home. Frustrated with techno in the Japanese capitol, he created his own party in his neighbouring hometown, Chiba, where nightlife was less pretentious and the vibe was a little looser. Future Terror quickly became known as one of Japan's premiere techno parties, and paved the way not only for Nobu himself, but many other Japanese DJs who Nobu and his later partner Haruka gave the chance to shine. The party also recently celebrated its landmark 20th anniversary with its first-ever party in London.

This mix is a direct tribute and encapsulation of Future Terror, what Nobu calls a "condensed story" of the series focusing on the more outré elements at the fore—an "awareness of techno" with plenty of more leftfield tracks thrown in. What follows might be a little gentler than you'd expect from Nobu, but it's all top-tier techno mixed with an expert hand.

RA.855 DJ Nobu

Based in Almere, Kelvin Celcius is an artist that works music and sound beyond his skill as a DJ. After a few years of playing at clubs and festivals, in and around Amsterdam, it was time for the next step in his career, developing his sound in the form of crafting his own music. Having graduated at SAE with a Bachelor Degree in Audio Production in 2018, Kelvin has done a wide range of mixing and mastering projects, which helped him become a more proficient and technically skilled musician. His sound is best described as stripped down, atmospheric and ongoing, and all his tracks have one aspect in mind; pure dance floor material. For the next 90min expect dancefloor-oriented mixing with plenty of his own tracks!

Beckoning us onto meditation-friendly paths, through luxuriant webs of hypnotic grooves and sense-awakening rituals, French deck sorceress Lea Occhi gets the vibes flowing with her debut RYC mix. Diving deep in organic techno folds and mind-expanding origamis of sound, the Berlin-based Parisian jockey pulls out a proper mesmeric listen by way of introduction, steering us in troubled waters, halfway languorous 4x4-powered brainwaves and dubbed-out, loungey tactility. Velvet for your ears to wrap around.

Dirty Epic welcomes @tensal for it's fiftieth episode of Amplify Series. 

Tensal is the name of the solo project that Héctor Sandoval (50% of Exium, Komatssu, Selección Natural) has created to accommodate his more cyclical and modern vision of Techno in which he combines different rhythms and textures.
After a good handful of works released on his own label, he has released on some of the best Techno labels as Mord, Modularz, Arcing Seas, Polegroup (of which he is a founding member), Float, Kynant, A.R.T.S, Cabrera or Soma, where he released his first LP in 2018.
He has also collaborated on a multitude of remixes with artists such as Slam, Electric Indigo, Envoy, Umwelt, Mike Parker, Pangaea, Amotik, Pessimist or Shifted, among others.
His works have received the unanimous support of the scene and his tracks are play by DJs like Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, Marcel Dettman, Ben Klock, Ellen Allien, L. Garnier, Dubfire, Seth Troxler or DVS1 who are regular consumers of his tracks.

In his appearances as a DJ, Tensal explores all facets of techno based on alternating different textures and intensities that are mainly nourished by his own material which has led him to perform in more than 60 countries in different parts of the world, from South America, to Japan, through the US, China, Georgia, Turkey, Korea or Russia, and of course Europe, where he is a regular in the booths of Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Poland, Greece, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.
In 2020 he created the project Komando Terrorismo Sonico (K.T.S) together with Juan Rico (Reeko, Architectural) in which they explore the limits of Acid techno and Breakbeat. The first studio album of the duo, called "Insurrección" was released by Tensal Ltd recs in spring 2021.

In February 2022, the latest project by Héctor Sandoval called "Syndromania" will be launched, debuting on Hector Oaks' label, with "Sacrilegio". This is a project created to investigate the fusion of the most contemporary Techno with some of its most popular genres of the last decades such as Techno-Trance, EBM, Electro, Acid or Chicago House.

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to welcome DJ, producer & Falling Ethics label boss. : P.E.A.R.L. (Kaos / Falling Ethics / Moral Standards).

Born and breed in Santander (North of Spain), his first contact with Electronic music comes from 90´s UK Techno that lately will make a fundamental role as his influences and inspiration.
2006 marks the starting point of his now primary outlet: P.E.A.R.L. releasing his first tracks on Tsunami Records.

In 2012 he moves to Berlin and one year after he founds his own imprint,  Falling Ethics Records, first as an outlet for his own productions and lately opening the doors to other creators like Umwelt or Oscar Mulero.

2017 is going to be a pivotal year on his career, with the release of his first Album, Temptation through Impatience, to be released on his very own Falling Ethics imprint and his addition to PoleGroup.

Recently in 2020-2021, he unleashed a string of hard-hitting tracks and EPs such as Tribal Science on Hector Oaks imprint OAKS or We Will Not All Fall , the first release of his new Falling Ethics sublabel Moral Standards: A subjective look at the current Techno scene with music from artists like Matrixxman, Sunil Sharpe, VCO or Nene H. 

As a performer he is an excellent selector in the dj booth, combining the pulse of pounding grooves in a very eclectic way, always making his sets an unexpected journey.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #169 -- P.E.A.R.L.

This is part of my DJ set at Open Ground on 08.11.2024. The closing set lasted 6 hours and 20 minutes; this recording is the last two hours. My set-up on the night was 2x Technics 1210 MK2 & X:ONE96 DJ mixer and the best sound system I have ever witnessed inside a club.

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.
