GEKIGA PODCAST EP 15 - MATT ALTMAN

My next guest on Yax Invites is DYGA, aka Gosia Wojciechowska, a DJ and promoter from Poland. 

She is the originator and one of the founders of the pro.TONE collective. She has been on stage since 2019 and has since played in all the country's major underground clubs, and has also performed in Luxembourg, supporting artists such as DVS1, Luigi Tozzi, and Alignment.

She adheres to the principle: Techno connects people, and therefore, she eagerly collaborates with collectives and artists from Poland and Europe. In music, she values diversity, the combination of unusual sounds, depth, psychedelia, and multidimensional compositions. All these elements can be heard in her sets.

"The recorded mix reflects the emotions and behaviours that have been pouring out of me in recent months. It's strong, diverse, wild, rhythmic, and consistent. It was inspired by the people who gave me so much energy during my recent performances - for which I'm very grateful".

Here is the interview!

ACTANT: Can you tell me about your artist name PWCCA?

PWCCA: PWCCA is the Welsh name for a demonic creature or spirit, playful but dangerous. It was my evolution as a musician, a shift from my old AKA to a more defined and technically advanced sound. I also chose it because I like its written aesthetic.

ACTANT: PWCCA was born in 2019, but you produced earlier under the name Dr Cyanide. Can you tell me about the transition between the two?

PWCCA: It was the evolution that arose with the improvement of my production techniques and my ideas, although in reality, and logically, they still have some connection, since they are two AKA to produce the same style of music.

ACTANT: Why do you make music?

PWCCA: For me, it's a way of expression, entertainment and escape, I always wanted to create tools to be able to use in own DJ sets, to be able to listen to my music in the hands of great DJs… although it is true that today in my performances as a DJ, my music is what I use the least, since when I perform in Live format obviously, everything that sounds is mine, but a great motivation long ago was this.

ACTANT: The sound of your productions is  haunting, rough, extremely repetitious. What is the attraction of these sounds for you?

PWCCA: In techno music, I've always loved repetition. In fact, I think it's part of its essence. I like creating dense, dark, and dirty sounds. They particularly immerse me in an intense mental journey. Today, I don't want to give rise to frivolous sounds in my work, at least that's what I try to convey or capture.

ACTANT: As a record label, Hardtools seems to embrace a dark aesthetic, pointing at an interest in death, spirits, ghosts, and so forth. Do these realms hold a power that can be utilised in music?

PWCCA: For me, darkness, death, the universe or all of this that no one knows about, inspires me when creating my sound, I don't like to link my sound or the sound of different artists of the label, with colors or images that are not serious or more "Fun" I think that over time, I have become more strict with those things hehe, it doesn't mean that techno is this, but in my case it is what inspires me the most.

ACTANT: Where do you see techno evolving in the future? Will real, dark techno continue to expand as society continues to erode?

PWCCA: Techno will likely continue to expand because it taps into a collective sense of restlessness. It's a search for refuge, often logically linked to having fun. Many young artists will take over and maintain the essence, while others who seemed authentic will sell out to the highest bidder without flinching. It has always happened and will always continue to happen; it's part of the game.

ACTANT: What makes Spain such a powerful force in techno?

PWCCA: I think there are and have been great techno artists in Spain, influenced by the right sources. Many artists who have forged a unique and remarkable sound, known worldwide, highly influential people like Oscar Mulero, supporting national material. I think the different artists who re-emerge have a great source of inspiration without having to look too far. But only in a few cases is one a prophet in his own land...

ACTANT: Finally, who are your favorite artists and labels right now?

PWCCA: I like listening to old artists like Wünsch, Mulero, Surgeon, Regis, Portion Reform (R&F), Mugon… but today we also have a wave of brutal producers like Kike Pravda, Lakej, Lewis Fautzi, Pyramidal Decode, KØLPØS, Ribé, Endplate, Oliver Rosemann, Stanislav Tolkachev, among many others. There are great Labels like Mord, Semántica, Pole Group or Warm Up, and others, offering great stuff, but I think that a large part of the scene is also supported by labels of less “prestigious” since there are many tracks edited in these, which are used by world-class DJs.

Zodiac il- Why are they here ?

MushDoxX Experience é um álbum
experimental com 33 faixas que nasce da
fusão entre o universo psicodélico do Acid
Mush e a atmosfera melódica e hipnótica do
Akdoxx.

Do encontro entre o ácido e o melódico,
surge um novo som, uma nova vibração, uma
nova identidade: MushDoxX.

O álbum é uma jornada por diferentes
estados de consciência, onde o groove se
mistura à emoção e a energia se transforma
em linguagem.

Cada faixa é um capítulo dessa fusão,
revelando a força, a dualidade e a harmonia
entre dois mundos que sempre coexistiram.

MushDoxX Experience não é apenas música.
É uma imersão, uma viagem entre luz e
sombra, mente e corpo, som e silêncio.
Um novo começo, uma nova forma de sentir
e de se conectar com o som.

Conceito: A fusão entre o psicodélico e o
melódico, entre o ácido e o emocional, entre
dois projetos que se tornam um só.
