Do you know that time when listening to music and you feel like you are part of a miraculous and yet incredibly beautiful swarm of insects? Or when a swarm of starlings perform their unusually astonishing formations in front of your inner eye?

Neel (@neel) is a true master in blending the sheer endless colours and shapes of techno and the energy level of his 3h set is so incredibly high that it’s very likely it gives you those fantasies.

Active since the turn of the millennium, Wisconsin-born / Berlin-based DJ and producer Dustin Zahn has been trading some of the most consistently powerful techno blends over the past twenty years. Incisive and empowering, his sound epitomizes the perfect balance between strenuous, big-room-focussed wares and an acute sensibility for the sharpest sound design. Throughout an endless flow of grade-A heaters for some of the scene's most highly-regarded imprints, including Blueprint, Rekids and his own record label, Enemy, Zahn has been sculpting a body of work both ebulliently intense and future-facing, never quite resting on his laurels but throwing all of his nerve and energy into staying relevant in the age of disposability. Ageless, boundless.

Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Clarisa Kimskii has cemented her musical footprint on the borough since moving back in 2022. Through a palpable blend of psychedelic and driving techno, Clarisa’s approach to the genre is deeply idiosyncratic - an assemblage of both timeless and modern grooves.

As a producer, Clarisa has contributed to a handful of respected labels (Monday Off, Dusk & Haze, Mysteries of the Deep, etc.) within her sonic niche, but it’s through her own label L.A.G where the ethos of her sound truly takes form - a detailed variation of propulsive and atmospheric soundscapes.

Clarisa is deeply rooted in the techno subculture’s underground, the 20+ year veteran is a regular at city’s premiere institutions like BASEMENT or Nowadays. Clarisa used to be a resident DJ at Brooklyn-based Merge from 2022-2024.

Her pure, yet passionate approach to DJing has graced the decks of memorable nights at international institutions in Tresor, Berghain, Ratherlost or Blitz, and at notably iconic parties in Wrecked, Club Toilet, Pornceptual, and The Bunker NY. Recent festival appearances at Taiwan’s Organik Festival and North America’s Honcho Campout, Draaimolen, Rural Festival and Sustain-Release have only elevated her reputation as a force within those respective communities. The saga continues with juicy bits on the horizon.

#SlamRadio - 637 - Clarisa Kimskii

Tatsuya Kanamori quickly became one of the few Japanese techno producers to rise to worldwide prominence within the late 90's techno scene with his productions and remixes as DJ Shufflemaster.
Originally a committed member of the Tokyo-based label Subvoice, where he released several of his early EPs, Kanamori's reputation outside of Japan was greatly aided by his affiliation with European techno heavyweights such as Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Ben Sims and Carl Lekebusch.

It was no surprise that Berlin-based Tresor knocked on the door and offered Kanamori the opportunity to record her first full-length album. In 2001, he appeared via Tresor, a full-length LP packed with a string of dancefloor-oriented techno productions featuring Kanamori's trademark aesthetic, making him one of the first Japanese techno producers to achieve worldwide recognition.

US-born and Berlin-based, Dustin Zahn has been a force in techno’s global underground for over two decades. His sound is punishing yet precise—big-room power shaped by hypnotic loops, sharp sound design often layered with haunting vocals and an unshakable sense of momentum.

With releases on Blueprint, Rekids, and his own imprints—Enemy Records and the American-rooted Abiotic Recordings— Zahn’s output is consistently high-caliber. Behind the decks, from Berghain to basements,  his work is a masterclass in high-impact techno that never sacrifices depth.

For Podcast #243, he delivers a 2.5-hour journey that doesn’t let up. No compromises. Just techno.

A true legend lands on the latest SPND20 Mixtape 📼: @luke-slater joins the fold with a rare live set recording, captured in the thick of touring his ‘Sky Scraping’ album on Token. Recorded live, this set channels the intensity and precision that only decades of experience can deliver. Pure hardware power, relentless tension, and deep, mind-bending grooves. This is techno at its most alive.🔊

Luke Slater’s legacy runs deep. Over the last three decades, the UK-born artist has shaped electronic music under many monikers - while running the influential Mote-Evolver label and constantly pushing the boundaries of sound design, structure, and club impact. From early Warp releases to Berghain classics, he’s never stopped innovating.

The release of Temporary Suspension on Ostgut Ton in 2009 marked the powerful return of Slater as Planetary Assault Systems - reigniting the fire of classic techno and setting the tone for a new era of live performance.
This recording is a snapshot of that exact energy: deep, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Expect pure techno power from one of its most vital architects. 🎛️

We’re honored to have him join the mixtape series. Play it loud. This one’s from the source.🖤
