SPOKEN104 - Giri

Up next in the series we have Giri, the Neapolitan DJ and producer who discovered electronic music composition at a very young age through a video game: Music 2000. From that moment on, he simultaneously pursued his passion for synthesizers, sound design, DJing, and vinyl collecting.

The artist has a natural inclination towards the darker and more industrial frontiers, such as the second wave of Detroit and ’90s/2000s UK techno. These influences shaped his distinctive deep sound, built on complex, intricate structures and driven by a powerful groove and rhythmic intensity.

In 2019, the first EPs under the name Giri were released by Evod, Awry, and Prophet, and in 2020, he founded his own label, Antiterra Records. A year later, in July 2021, he released his first concept album, Antichthon, a 19-track project, on the label that had influenced him the most over the years: Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, as part of The Escape Velocity project.

Giri caught our ears with his ominous and sci-fi-inspired releases on labels such as No Signal, Immaterial.Archives, Molecular, and many more. His hypnotic percussion and eerie synths give you the urge to lock in and drift away.

For this mix, he went for ballsy rhythms with an intimate edge. From meticulously crafted layering that transports you far away, to broken patterns that feel like industrial machinery engineered to make you move.

Enjoy!

Sigvard is a techno artist and producer from Belgium. Grown from a project from artist Tom Hades, Sigvard has returned to his stripped down arrangements and use of limited instruments in the studio. This has led to a more focused and direct sound that still retains the power and emotion of his earlier work.
Sigvard's music is influenced by a wide range of artists, from early pioneers like Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaataa to more contemporary acts like Underworld and Laurent Garnier. This diverse range of influences can be heard in his music, which often blends elements of different styles together to create something unique.

OECUS Podcast 467 // SIGVARD

Welcome to the 13th episode of The Gekiga podcast. For today’s set, it’s my honor and pleasure to welcome my comrade, and homie NWHR. 

The term “prodigy” gets tossed around a lot, and in most cases it’s a meaningless descriptor, but with Franco there’s no doubt in my mind it not only applies but underestimates his talents. 

As a producer in his early twenties, his resume already puts guys twice his age to shame. Having dropped masterpieces on Bas Mooy’s MORD Records, ØM’s WARM-UP label, a double vinyl on the incredible Nachtstrom Schallplatten (where I had the honor to contribute the cover art), Illegal Alien Records, [R]3volution Records, Prophet Recordings, a collaborative LP with the underground icon Kolpos, and on and on and on. There’s no one who has accumulated the level of respect and appreciation from the best of the best in such a short time and at such a young age. 

Today’s set is a journey through dark, hypnotic textures and assertive rhythms that only Franco can deliver. To have such a sophisticated, defined artistic signature so early in his career is mind boggling and I’m here to support, witness, and cheer my brother every step of the way. 

This is techno with no compromise, no filler, no “crowd favorites.” If you’re with it, welcome to the tribe. If not, we don’t give a….

Translate returns to Edit-Select with “Displacement” (Edit-Select 240V), featuring three immersive techno cuts rooted in spatial depth and hypnotic rhythm.

Set the Mood with Creznight!

This 63rd edition of Set the Mood captures the essence of how Creznight first fell in love with techno. When he stepped into a club for the very first time, the room was still empty, but he was instantly hooked. The music wasn’t heavy yet, but it was beautiful. There was space between the sounds, carried by deep, rolling basslines. Even though it was loud, it didn’t feel harsh. The smoke filled the air, and the atmosphere was mysterious, with pads and subtle strings adding melody in the background. The bass felt warm, almost like it was breathing with the room. For Creznight, it was a spiritual feeling.

To him, that’s the essence of an opening set. It should feel calm but alive, full of variety without being overwhelming. It’s about building slowly, guiding the energy step by step, always one move ahead of the crowd. In his opinion, the hardest, and most important, slot of the night is the opener. Without a strong opener, the vibe can be ruined before it even begins. He compares it to waking up fully stressed—you spend the whole day recovering.

That’s why Creznight believes an opening set should have a sense of predictability and flow, but never fall into monotony. It should explore deeper sounds, with enough variety to keep the room engaged and gradually evolve into something more danceable for the next DJ. In this mix, he has leaned into that deeper side, creating a warm, rolling journey that starts subtle and builds into movement.

As the owner of Oefenmeesters, one of our own, Creznight carries that same vision into his wider work: creating spaces, sets, and experiences that inspire growth, connection, and flow.

Enjoy the ride.

Singular Anomalies - You Will Always Be With Me (EP) [GRETA]

Probably my deepest track yet titled ‘Polarity’ released as part of Inguma Records 5 Years VA. Available on limited cassette + digital on bandcamp + t-shirt merch.

It reflects heavily on today’s scenarios, polarising views, polarising emotions, uncertain futures, but there is a hint of hope still flickering in the darkness. Like the moment when light appears from behind a storm cloud.

I love the artwork for this, it reminds me to lean into the things that give us hope or keep us together. Even when there is a lot of evil.

Juriaan

Juriaan's love for electronic and dance music began after friends took him to a local underground acid party in Utrecht back in 1990. Influenced by what he heard he started to collect this acid and techno music. He started dj'ing a few months later in "Het Burgerweeshuis" in Deventer, Netherlands. Playing there for about 5 years he got to perform with the artists like: Quazar, Lady Aida, Per, Eddie 'flashin' Fowlkes, Cellie, Unit Moebius and Miss Djax ........to name a few. Juriaan moved to Amsterdam in july '94. where he got connected with the 'legendary' Mazzo (being his favourite club for many years) which resulted in frequent gigs on saturdays "Sex, Love & Motion" nights with dj Carlijn and Cellie. He later teamed up with dj's Ziv and Diablo to join the "Underground Heaven" movement which where also organizing parties at Mazzo. Other clubs and parties in Amsterdam where he performed include THE BUS @ Paradiso, Graan Silo, Dance Valley, Vaaghuyzen, Getaway Cafe, Studio 80, Club NL, TWSTD. In the meantime he got a once a month residence in club 'Radost FX' in Prague and played at other parties in Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Spain.

For our next Techno Minded Hero, we are going back down under, this time to Sydney, Australia. 
He is the head honcho of the Electrax Music label group which includes some of our favorite labels like Elektrax Recordings, Gynoid Audio, Android Muziq, Darknet, Translucent, Achromatiq, Counter Pulse, AcidWorx, and Hypnotic Room. And his own production collection is a true treasure trove which are being played by the biggest names in the scene. 

His latest release’s on Counter Pulse include “Dish” a team up with Trinity with remixes from Mary Velo and Headless Horseman, “Gion” which include a Black hats edit and “Gamera” a four tracker with a selection of no-nonsense, pure techno funk that is powerful, functional, and made for underground techno floors. 

Besides being a prolific producer, he is rocking gigs and label nights in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, China and Japan, where he just completed his latest tour. If you ask us, it’s time for a label night here in Europa! 

We are truly pleased with our next Techno Minded Hero.
We would like to welcome on the Drone Podcast No. 062: Advanced Human.

Biography
Aliases: Advanced Human, Black Hats, DJ Hi-Shock, Psi Room
Labels: Gynoid Audio, Synewave, Planet Rhythm, Counter Pulse, AcidWorx, Affin, Dynamic Reflection, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Darknet, Elektrax, Translucent, Impact Mechanics, Slap Jaxx, Brood Audio, Naked Lunch.

Advanced Human (aka DJ Hi-Shock) was first inspired by the early electronic sounds of Detroit and Chicago, along with nascent German Techno and the underground bleeps of Belgian New Beat.

He struck out on his own versatile music career in 1992 as DJ Hi-Shock and has since featured at every major event in the Sydney Rave and Underground Techno scene throughout the 90’s. Ever since — always striving to perfect his skills — he’s taken both vinyl-spinning and production work to the highest level.

In recent years he has developed and helms the wildly successful Elektrax Music label group (which includes known and respected techno labels Gynoid Audio, Counter Pulse, Translucent, Android Muziq, Hypnotic Room, AcidWorx, Achromatiq, Darknet, and of course Elektrax Recordings).

He has released his own productions through labels like Gynoid Audio, Synewave, Planet Rhythm, Affin, Dynamic Reflection, Counter Pulse, and many others, along the way being charted and played by Adam Beyer, Joan Atkins, Tommy Four Seven, DJ Deep, Slam, Rolando, Luke Slater, Chris Liebing, Damon Wild and Dave Clarke amongst others.

On top of these inroads, Advanced Human has remixed the likes of Mark Broom, Truncate, Ken Ishii, Mattias Fridell, Gayle San, or Ade Fenton, and furthermore performed alongside a wad of ultimate DJ/producers like Sven Väth, Kevin Saunderson, Audio Injection, Oliver Lieb, Thomas P. Heckmann, Marcel Fengler, Mary Velo, Jammin’ Unit, Jonas Kopp, and many more over the years.

In the past couple years he has started putting on successful label nights in Sydney, and also regularly played gigs in Melbourne, with more recent international bookings taking him to DJ at places such as Seco, Origami, Dommune in Tokyo, Circus in Osaka, Swallowtail in Kyoto, Emergence parties in New Zealand, Footprint in China, and Vurt in Seoul.

Currently his trademark sound is based on exploring the uncharted terrains of Deep/Gritty Techno, that is rich with Dub chords and crunchy atmospheres surrounded by cold, bleepy effects, intricate percussion and an intense drive aimed at the dance floor.
