Dustin Zahn "Surrender the Body (Instrumental)"

Fast. Impulsive. Techno. Three words to establish and define what the artist known as Egotot is all about. The young musician, hailing from the deep south of Germany, sets quite the pace when it comes to his vision of electronic music, regarding both tempo as well as quality. His beats, be in the studio or in the DJ booth, appear to come and arrange themselves seemingly with no effort. A Rave-infected sonic testing ground without ever feeling like a simple Rave pastiche. A vision of Techno that is obviously inspired by its sound of the 90s, but neither exceedingly aggressive, nor excessively happy.

Egotot has a special taste for rugged, up-tempo grooves which demand their own time to breathe and reveal their power. A sonic all-purpose weapon to be used on, for, and by the dance floor. However, his sense for music doesn’t stop at the edge of dancefloor-oriented Rave. It goes far beyond, right to and through the sometimes more and sometimes less subtle tides of electronic music.

This exemplarily reflects in his very own imprint, Schimmer Records, which he founded in 2019. The label has, in a rather short period of time, already evolved to a sonic reservoir of all different shades, all of which share a commonality – quality in production, love to detail, and an undeniable appeal to avid devotees of electronic music of all kinds. 

There is nothing confusing about Egotot’s take on music. It is clean-cut, it is straightforward, it is always effective. The Industrial clout, the fast groove, the merciless rigor – this is how Techno should sound in the 21st century, and Egotot is its perfect avatar.

Crudo Podcast Series #34 – Étam

THIS IS ACID

Having his musical roots in songwriting, MAUER finally fell for Techno after a somewhat life-changing trip to Berlin. The influences of the city's club culture can still be heard in his sets. But the Warsaw-Based DJ and resident of Smolna club has long developed a very own and distinct approach to electronic music. Characterized by minimalistic synths and tribal-esque drum rhythms, it is deep and hypnotic, yet driving.

Check him out: @mauerdj

A1. Where Is Now
A2. Time Drift
B1. Echo State
B2. Split Recall

INFO:
	
At this point a regular contributor in defining Token’s sound, Border One steps up for his sixth EP on the label in five years. As in many of his past projects, ‘Where is Now’ bleeds character through effect for a trip on the dancefloor. 

Establishing the ambiance of the record, Border One meets pace with depth in the titletrack A1. A pressing bassline and progressively squelching synth accents combine to press the dancefloor, decorated with flickering hi hats. The track remains a steady roller throughout while maintaining an underlying attitude that only adds to its initial drive. Focusing back his energy on percussion, Border One prioritises eccentric groove with insistent tone. ‘Time Drift’ reaffirms his minimalist approach to the EP, only inviting anxious drum sequences with rising rides in the second half. The portal opens steadily in ‘Time Drift’, establishing a slightly more meditative tone than he’s done in the past. ‘Echo State’ returns to resonance, a sound well fit for the label. With quick loops and a heavy focus on the hypnotic, in a dancefloor-commanding kind of way, the Belgian artist gives his signature sound that rolls effortlessly off of well tuned soundsystems. With a tight grip on the track’s pressure, Border One transitions into the final track ‘Split Recall’. Here, he finds a direct path through a heavily psychedelic landscape. Bringing in occasional high pitched synth sequences and cutting through claps while the stereo field turns and evolves, Border One creates a closing track with attention to detailing his arrangement and variance. Rolling off in one section to stomping through others, the Belgian artist proves once more that his sound continues to be reinvented throughout his work.

Originally from Reunion Island, his music draws on his roots, offering an enchanting tropical journey, blending tribal sounds and wild rhythms. Through his selection, the artist creates an atmosphere that invites audiences to enter into a trance and reconnect with their inner selves.

10.5hour cut from my in total 15hour all night long performance. 

unfortunately in the rush of preperations nobody pressed "rec" in the very beginning, so a few hours of sweet ambient and slower/easier techno got lost. hopefully still enough music to bridge a day :)

feel free to ask for any ID, as always

Sinister Wave's "Affliction" is a four-track EP that plunges deep into the shadowy corridors of techno. Each piece stands as a distinct sonic statement, yet together they form a tightly woven narrative—equal parts cerebral and visceral.

Failed Rebellion opens and veers into more experimental terrain. Fractured melodies collide in a controlled storm of sound design. The track’s off-kilter structure and daring textures showcase Sinister Wave's fearless approach to pushing genre boundaries.

Emptiness follows with a raw, unrelenting energy. Anchored by a throbbing bassline and razor-sharp percussion, it channels industrial grit and peak-time intensity. This is techno at its most primal—designed to ignite dance floors and command attention.

Affliction, is a journey with a brooding, cinematic atmosphere. A steady pulse drives forward beneath layers of ghostly pads and echoing synth stabs, conjuring a vast, immersive space. It’s a hypnotic overture that sets the tone with precision and depth.

Closing the release is The One Who Is Many, a deep, dub-infused meditation. Rolling low-end grooves and spectral pads evolve in slow motion, creating a sense of introspection and emotional release. It’s a haunting finale that lingers long after the last beat fades.

Dilemma Podcast 162 Aureal from Buenos Aires (Argentina). Aureal is the new musical project of Andrés Fusaro, DJ and producer with a solid trajectory in Argentina’s electronic music scene, exploring and innovating within the universe of sci-fi techno from 2008 to the present. Built in the modular environment of VCV Rack and complemented with analog machines, Aureal emerges as an experimental sonic proposal deeply influenced by the aesthetics of science fiction and other artistic languages.

Through a careful exploration of textures, rhythms, and sounds, the project seeks to expand the boundaries of techno into hypnotic, abstract, and immersive territories. Aureal offers immersive auditory experiences that invite listeners on an introspective journey charged with energy and density.

Currently, Andrés is focused on a deeper and more cinematic facet of techno, maintaining its hypnotic essence while opening up to new rhythmic and sensory narratives. In parallel, he is also working on another project alongside the renowned DJ and producer Eduardo de la Calle called RSCA, and co-runs Neptune Sci Club together with Eduardo Criado — an event dedicated to cult techno and science fiction.

Currently celebrating 20 years of exploits and shenanigans, Enemy Records is back with a 4-track various artists EP featuring label-owner Dustin Zahn, Viels, Slone, and K.U.S.S. “IMMOLATION” exists as the spiritual successor of Enemy’s previous 4-track V.A., “BREAK A FANCY VASE.” The result is four infectious club tracks designed for optimal damage.

Zahn starts oﬀ with “Surrender the Body,” a deep narrative-focused roller designed especially for late night party people dealing with a lot of internal dialogue going on. If the meditative vocals are too much, he also supplies an alternative instrumental version, like any proper vocal
club track should have!

Slone’s “Throttled” is a heads down minimalistic roller expertly filled with tension. These moments of tension break with in-your-face synth work sprinkled in at just the right moments, leading to massive responses on the dance floor.

Parisian producer KUSS finally makes his label debut with “Encounter,” a polyrhythmic percussive workout that functions as a perfect tool for working DJs. The track features the perfect balance of sci-fi elements and club functionality.

Viels finishes oﬀ the EP with “Nessun Battito.” Viels combines dreamy call-and-response hooks with steady yet crafty 909 workouts to build a perfect introspective-leaning vibe that still works great at peak time.
