I had the honour to open up my hometown club for Klockworks legend Ben Klock and the incredible Laura van Hal. I felt nervous not knowing how quick the room would fill and if I would be able to judge the vibe properly, but once I hit a flow and realised how much energy there was in the club, I felt super comfortable. Musically it contains a bit of Techno from the old-age, fresh promo's, recent favourites, and unreleased and released music from both the record-labels I co-run. It turned into a fantastic night: a packed, steamy dance-floor full of friends and family - an experience I will never forget. I hope you enjoy this set as much as I did playing that evening. Big thanks to 393AD for the additional mastering.

Portal Episode 77 by Markus Suckut and Elias.

We‘re delighted to introduce you to the 113th episode of our Syntop Audio by Benabou.

Exploring the vinyl labyrinths of Europe, French DJ
and producer Benabou has immersed herself in the
eclectic world of techno. Drawing inspiration from
major labels like Token, Polegroup, Eaux, Semantica, Warp, and Northern Electronics, her productions are enriched with experimental resonances.

From a young age, Benabou developed a strong
affinity for the fluid sounds of jazz, soul, and
psychedelic music, which naturally led her to infuse
her tracks with ambience and ethereal synths,
creating a dark, hypnotic atmosphere.

This mix is a recording from Lust at FVTUR (24.05.25)

The twenty fourth transmission from RYC comes courtesy of not one, but two artists we greatly admire. Joining forces on a split truly like no other, Japanese maestro Wata Igarashi and Munich’s own multi-faceted genius Polygonia step up with the magnetic ‘Cross Passage’ - a four-track journey at the junction of their respective universes, teleporting us straight to a propulsive, mind-expanding headspace as we’re invited to explore sonic territories still uncharted and harmonics yet unravelled.

The collaborative A-side begins with the dynamic title-track, ‘Cross Passage’, a proactively future-facing number packing the kind of utopian drive that used to define the original techno sound. A highly cinematic narrative boasting Detroit-style vision and epic breath, ‘Cross Passage’ builds bridges between hi-tech elation and organic integration, transcending mere functionality to push back and expand the limits of techno as a deep communication vessel between the individual and the mass. Firing off like a binary script gone astray, ‘Fibre Axis’ takes us on a further bumpy ride across shape-shifting interfaces and blurred-out digital scapes, via abrupt pixel landslides and fractured 3D renderings.

Side-B finds each producer dishing out a slice of his/her own musical idiom. Polygonia strikes first with the pulsating ‘Voltage Blues’ - a mesmeric roller cut from pure eerie synth algebra, boundary-pushing abstraction and surgical but experimental-leaning rhythmic assault. The result is a piece of cutting-edge techno hoodoo, ready to take on clubs with utmost abrasive swagger. Sniping a hail of rainbow-like analogue synth outpour, Wata Igarashi’s solo contribution ’The Tunnel Dreams’ rounds off the journey on a fiercely nonconformist note. Merging a hard-hitting main swing with 8-bit-esque audio pointillism and brooding bass undertones, the Japanese producer cuts a path of antigravitational abandon and relentless rush towards absolving euphoria, which shall leave all in the room levitating somewhere between sheer daze and love-thirsty XTC.

*Clad in the sleekest cover art courtesy of designer Atact, RYCL024 is pressed to red & white marbled vinyl for you, fancy platter collectors and picky audio-visual aesthetes alike.
