Dear Friends🚀🥁,

We wish you were here, there, or anywhere to celebrate with us 25 years of Cocoon.

On our birthday, the big 25, we have a special present which please share and enjoy with us.

Sven went boldly where no one had gone before and created Cocoon. And we have never stopped - until the world did.

The 30th April 1996 is where it all began. This has to be the right moment to present the very first bit of our, let’s say it, influential history.

We hope you love it as much as we do. Just click, then wish us a Happy 25th Birthday, press play, and of course, turn it up. We miss you
❤

Cocoon 1996 Clubnight

COCOON 1996 Remastered mixed by Sven Väth

A rare mix from the originator of Techno, Juan Atkins, as part of the celebration of three decades of Tresor, the German nightclub, label, and institution.

Recorded at the Tresor club in Berlin at the beginning of 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic turned the world upside-down, the mix spans the full spectrum of sub-genres that Techno has evolved into from its beginnings with Juan and his peers in 1980s Detroit. As such the mix is true testament to the genre from one of its founding fathers.

Juan’s classic track I Love You features on the forthcoming Tresor 30 compilation - 52 tracks of classics and exclusive commissions that map the flight path of Techno from the pioneers to the producers of today and tomorrow. This alongside the recent reissue of the seminal 3MB record Juan made alongside Moritz Von Oswald and Thomas Fehlmann perfectly encapsulates the long-lasting connection between Juan Atkins and Tresor, between Detroit and Berlin.

006 - ESSHAR

(interview & english version below)
In unserer sechsten Ausgabe unseres Podcats präsentieren wir euch Esshar. Esshars Sets erinnern an eine kosmische Reise, geprägt von dunklen Synthesizern, verspulten Atmosphären, ekstatischer Momente, gebrochenen Beats und treibenden Rhythmen - subtil und zugleich energetisch. Mit diesem Set eröffnete Esshar am 17.08.24 vor Joel Mull den Südpol.

INTERVIEW
Wie bist du zur elektronischen Musik und insbesondere zum Techno gekommen? 

Den ersten technoiden Impact bekam ich 1997 als 8 jähriges Kind mit dem Track 20Hz von Capricorn. Beim Herumfahren mit meiner Oma im Auto holte sie die Single CD raus, ein Spontankauf, ab dem Moment war der Grundstein gelegt. Im gleichen Jahr kaufte ich mir mein erstes Album, Scooter - Age of Love, ab da wusste ich, dass elektronische Musik für mich funktioniert und began sie zu genießen und zu erforschen. 20hz beeinflusst mich noch heute und umfasst alle Ecken und Kanten meines heutigen Stils. Sphärische Synthesizer, non-konforme Rhythmen, Verspultheit und ein Hauch vom sich Treiben lassen.

 Du gibst FLINTA*-DJ Workshops in Hamburg. Was für Erfahrungen hast du dort gesammelt und wie versuchst du dein Wissen weiterzugeben? 

Da ich einen technischen Background durch meine Ausbildung in der Veranstaltungstechnik habe, liegt mein Fokus in den DJ-Workshops auf die Vermittlung der Grundlagen in der Tontechnik und deren Hardware. Das Interesse an den Workshops ist unglaublich hoch. Es freut mich riesig zu sehen wie groß die Begeisterung der Teilnehmenden nach den Workshops ist und welche Talente dort bisher geweckt wurden. Für mehr FLINTA* an den Decks!

Du bist Resident-DJ im Südpol, was macht das Auflegen im dort für dich besonders?

Der Südpol ist ein Ort des Ausprobieren und Wachsen für mich. Ohne den Support und das Vertrauen in meinen musikalischen Output hätte ich wohl kaum meinen heutigen Stil finden und ausarbeiten können. Die Möglichkeit im Nebel zu pulsierendem gedimmten Licht das Publikum mit auf eine Reise zu nehmen macht für mich den Ort mehr als besonders.

In our sixth edition of our podcast, we present Esshar. Esshar's sets are reminiscent of a cosmic journey, characterized by dark synthesizers, twisted atmospheres, ecstatic moments, broken beats and driving rhythms - subtle and energetic at the same time. With this set, Esshar opened for Joel Mull at Südpol on August 17, 2024.

INTERVIEW
How did you get into electronic music and especially techno?

I got my first technoid impact in 1997 as an 8-year-old child with the track 20Hz by Capricorn. While driving around in the car with my grandma, she pulled out the single CD, an impulse buy, and from that moment on the foundation was laid. In the same year I bought my first album, Scooter - Age of Love, from then on I knew that electronic music worked for me and started to enjoy and explore it. 20hz still influences me today and encompasses all the nooks and crannies of my current style. Spherical synthesizers, non-conformist rhythms, a sense of being unhinged and drifting.

You give FLINTA DJ workshops in Hamburg. What experiences have you had there, and how do you pass on your knowledge?

Since I have a technical background through my training in event technology, my focus in the DJ workshops is on teaching the basics of sound engineering and hardware. The interest in the workshops is incredibly high. It makes me really happy to see the enthusiasm of the participants after the workshops and to witness the talents that have been awakened. Here's to more FLINTA* on the decks!

You are resident DJ at Südpol. What makes playing there special for you?

Südpol is a place for me to experiment and grow. Without the support and trust in my musical output, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find and refine my current style. The chance to take the audience on a journey, in the fog and under pulsing, dimmed lights, makes this place truly special for me.

S.E.T.I. - Techno Vinyl Only Mix - VINYL MATTERS 028

Emerging from Detroit's vibrant DIY underground scene, Matthew Dear's Audion project has been feeding off the energy reverberating from dancefloors across the UK and Europe, but with a sound and spirit that is uniquely his own. Described as "techno in its purest sense", Audion now returns with his first album in a decade that embodies this ethos.

Forthcoming on !K7, Alpha is a collective body of work that was brought to life by Audion in a mere matter of weeks, coming at a defining moment in the artist's life. The mind bending "Destroyer" stands out in its warped, cyclical grandeur. Its distorted synth and tenacious bass provides listeners with the full bodied dancefloor flavour they have so eagerly anticipated. A highlight moment of Alpha – which stands as a visceral ode to the vibrancy of our global dance culture.

No sleep until Alpha drops. Catch it on 10 June.

Hellracer (The Model's Steer The Hell Out Of Wheels Remix)

Label: Neverwhere
Cat. Nr.: NVR-004
Title: NAF 97 EP
Artist: Camea
Remixers: Markus Suckut, Matrixxman
Format: Digital/Vinyl
Release Date: June 6, 2018

Available for pre-order now on Beatport & online vinyl web shops!

Tracklist:

A1 NAF 97 (Original) - Camea
A2 NAF 97 (Markus Suckut Remix) - Camea
B1 Jak U (Original) - Camea
B2 Jak U (Matrixxman Self Love Mix) - Camea

Cameaʼs latest release on her imprint Neverwhere pays homage to her hometown Seattleʼs
original underground rave warehouse, NAF Studios, where she went dancing in the late 90s
and began her journey that ultimately landed her in Berlin. Also where Nirvannaʼs “Smells
Like Teen Spirit” video was filmed (and ironically now a Catholic publishing house), the
hedonistic venue is legendary to those who picked up rave flyers scattered on the streets of
Seattle and took a chance on an emerging new electronic music scene.
Both originals reflect the raw warehouse vibe of this era, and Matrixxman and Markus Suckut
have weighed in with heavy remixes. Markus puts his signature on the NAF 97 original with a
deep space atmospheric techno banger, and Matrixxman reworks the original 303
recordings in Jack U, sending it into another dimension - and even further.

Pulse.077 comes from Troy Pierce who " wanted to make a podcast that I would listen to more than once". Anything but typical, this is dark, warped and dance floor focused.




Troy Pierce (dj set)
Items &amp; Things


Growing up in Indiana, right by the electronic hotspots of Detroit and Chicago, it’s no wonder Troy Pierce was infected with the dance music bug early on. Since then, he’s developed into a pillar of the modern techno community thanks to world tours, live shows, albums and EPs under a number of aliases and as part of more than one studio collective. 

The Troy Pierce sound is one which has constantly veered from dense, layered and abstract to stripped down, acid infused and pulsing. His sonic palette is one that draws on a wide array of influences and reaches far outside the confines of the studio and into an otherworld entirely. Fusing techno with minimalism, darkness with light and heaviness with rhythm, this American has never been afraid to experiment in the outer regions of his vast musical universe. 

“I like making and playing weird music for weird people - those WTF tracks that stick in your head as a sound from another dimension” says the man whose close association to techno bastion Minus has earned him a deserved and revered reputation during the years since first emerging. Looking ahead though, it will be for his own label, Items &amp; Things (co-run with friends Magda and Marc Houle) that he is most known. 

Whilst the rejuvenated label will aim to break new talent and continue its run of underground and intimate Down &amp; Out parties, Troy will also work on his own music: in collaborative effort with his new label mates, on a solo EP on I&amp;T, but also some fresh material from his much-lauded Louderbach alias.

Despite an already impressive list of accolades to his name, Troy Pierce isn’t one to sit still. Keen as ever to confound your expectations, Items &amp; Things, new Louderbach music and a number of exciting collaborations such as his latest project "Troy + Reka" are sure to do just that as he enters the next phase of his musical evolution.

An unequivocal industry visionary, DJ Hell's career has embodied and then transcended his many guises: Anti-Superstar DJ, International DeeJay Gigolo Label Boss, GQ Man of the Year, Playboy, Jetsetter, Bon Viveur, Munich Machine, New York Muscle. Seeing, and envisioning - that is of enormous relevance to Hell. He managed to convey pure artistic prowess as well as pure style during his thirty year DJ career. The individual look, the do-it-yourself approach, the elitism. That's how it grew.
