At the intersection of techno's industrial past and its avant-garde future stands Phase Fatale, the Berlin-based project of Hayden Payne. A resident at both Berghain and KHIDI, Payne channels his roots in New York's post-punk and EBM scenes into a sound that's precisely engineered for the deepest corners of the dancefloor. 

Since emerging in 2014, Phase Fatale has been pivotal in reshaping the contours of modern techno. His releases on labels like Ostgut Ton, Jealous God, and Hospital Productions showcase a commitment to sonic exploration, blending dense atmospheres with rhythmic precision. His 2020 album, Scanning Backwards, was specifically engineered for Berghain's acoustics, reflecting his deep connection to the club's sonic environment.

Beyond his productions, Payne co-founded the BITE label in 2018, aiming to platform artists operating outside conventional techno paradigms. With a roster that includes both emerging talents and established names, BITE has become a beacon for those seeking the fringes of electronic music

In this milestone 250th podcast, Phase Fatale delivers a mix that encapsulates his sonic ethos: a fusion of industrial textures with post-punk, and techno's relentless drive. It's a cinematic journey through the shadows, illuminated by his distinctive sound design and narrative depth.

Immerse yourself in #250.

''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!

Sink into the memory of Closer's last Masada session on 24th May 2025, when Nastia Reigel immerged the crowd in raw machine funk and relentless 4x4 momentum!

Amidst a landscape defined by constant evolution, Nastia Reigel stands out with unwavering confidence, offering a strong musical foundation and a distinctive artistic vision that sets her apart. Each performance is a masterclass in precision and atmosphere: an enthralling fusion of propulsive rhythms and sharp textures that sweep listeners into her sonic world, leaving no detail untouched.

Commanding energy, refined elegance, and magnetic presence: a force with staying power, filled with high-impact material tailor-made for warehouse-level intensity. These aren't just functional floor tools — they evolve with rich textures and kaleidoscopic layers, pushing past convention.

CLOSERcast #097 - NASTIA REIGEL

The 170th guest of KHIDI’s podcast series is VSK. Since his earliest youth, he has had a deep passion for electronic music. After being introduced to the world of DJing at the age of 16, he became familiar with various forms of techno. His style ranges from a sound that is often tough and dark, with strong industrial influences, to a deeper and more mental approach—both still easily recognizable as coming from the same creative mind
