DVS1 returns to his imprint HUSH with his unique sonic palette of beats and rhythms. 

Following a 2020 long-player debut, "Beta Sensory Motor Rhythm" on Jeff Mills' Axis Records, HUSH 06 features DVS1's trademark sound with his interplay of elements rising and falling, fluid percussions seamlessly weaving in and out of the arrangements, highlighting an ever-shifting emphasis that draws its energy from minimalistic features. 

HUSH 06 delivers stripped-down and slow-building tracks with remarkable clarity, easily imagined to be played on massive sound systems.

For our 10th podcast release, we welcome Tsukuyomi, the alias of Tbilisi-based DJ and producer Dadu Dzagnidze. Since starting his musical journey in 2020, Tsukuyomi has been shaping a distinctive sound—fast-paced, raw, and experimental—deeply influenced by his time spent on the dancefloor. The atmosphere of local clubs and the artistry of talented Georgian DJs played a key role in developing his approach to music.

His connection to sound runs deep, having explored various genres since childhood and even playing guitar for a time. However, it was in 2018, through a growing passion for techno, that his musical perspective truly evolved. Two years later, he started DJing and collecting records, and soon after, he delved into music production. Now, he is preparing to debut his first live set, alongside upcoming self-releases and future projects.

When it comes to inspiration, Yanamaste stands out as a major influence. Beyond music, he finds creativity in graphic design, anime, and camping, alongside quality time with friends. Lately, you’ll find him looping "The World In Devotion" by November Növelet, a track that resonates deeply with him.

As for clubs that left a mark, KHIDI and Bassiani are at the top of his list—spaces that have not only shaped his musical vision but continue to push the underground scene forward.

We’re excited to have him in the series—tune in and experience the sound of Tsukuyomi.

Last fall when she crossed paths with Function (Dave Sumner), the mutual admiration was instantaneous and they developed a reciprocal appreciation for each other’s creative output. Upon hearing the immediacy of her demos, Sumner didn’t just want a 12-inch; he proposed to work on a full-length Identity. The result now serves as solid evidence that she’s intentionally pushing the label forward into new places. 

It’s no surprise that Sandwell District championed the album early on — nearly every track showed up in their DJ mixes and podcasts, marking Nastia Reigel as a new favorite artist of techno’s most influential collective.

We’re thrilled to share that Tzunamicast 004 with Armando is now live on SoundCloud.

Get ready for a deep dive into the raw energy of club culture and the hypnotic pulse of electronic music. In this episode, we explore Armando’s journey through the European underground, his vision of music as a space for connection, and the personal roots behind his high-intensity sound.

In the mid-2000s, his passion shifted toward club culture and electronic music. Drawn not to a single genre but to the feeling of community, freedom, and self-expression, he immersed himself in the scene across Italy and Europe.
Exploring styles from Minimal to Techno, he began recording mixtapes before stepping behind the decks, playing venues like Amelia, Masada, and Silicone Club.
His sound blends relentless grooves, deep basslines, and sharp kicks into immersive, high-energy sets that reflect the belonging he found in club culture.
In 2025, he founded SLATE, a collective focused on music, connection, and creativity. A space for sharing ideas, experiences, and building bridges between local and international scenes.
He has shared the stage with artists such as Annē, Amanda Mussi, Quelza, Hertz Collision, Radical Softness, Lea Occhi, Laura Van Hal, Neux, Delano Legito, and Beau Didier.



WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS EPISODE TO ASK ARMANDO A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TECHNO SCENE.
QUESTIONS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO US, THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE: TO SPARK GENUINE REFLECTION AND HELP BUILD A BROADER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THIS CULTURE REPRESENTS TODAY.



DO YOU THINK THE TECHNO SCENE HAS SHIFTED MORE TOWARDS BUSINESS THAN CULTURE, ESPECIALLY WITH SOME PAGES CHARGING UP TO 200 EUROS FOR A POST OR A SOUNDCLOUD PROMOTION? 

“GOOD QUESTION, IT’S HARD TO GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER. THERE ARE TOO MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN GENERAL, LIKE THE TYPE OF PLATFORM, WHAT IT OFFERS, THE COSTS BEHIND IT… IN GENERAL, AN ARTIST CAN CHOOSE HOW TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES OR THEIR MUSIC.”



HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA MADE TECHNO LESS UNDERGROUND, OR HAVE THEY SIMPLY TRANSFORMED IT INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT? 

“THAT’S DEFINITELY A HOT TOPIC AND A TOUGH ONE FOR ME. I DIDN’T GROW UP WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS I STILL FIND THEM PRETTY CHALLENGING. THAT SAID, I DO SEE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TODAY. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEM, BECAUSE THEY’RE A POWERFUL AND UNAVOIDABLE WAY TO COMMUNICATE. IN THE END, IT’S UP TO US TO CHOOSE HOW WE USE THEM AND WHAT MESSAGE WE WANT TO SHARE.”



CAN YOU EASILY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTISTS WHO MAKE MUSIC OUT OF PASSION AND THOSE WHO ARE JUST FOLLOWING TRENDS IN THE TECHNO SCENE?

“THIS QUESTION FEELS PARTLY CONNECTED TO THE PREVIOUS ONE. OFTEN, WE RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO UNDERSTAND OR GET TO KNOW AN ARTIST, AND WE FORGET HOW IMPORTANT HUMAN CONNECTION IS BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. THIS INDUSTRY MOVES FAST, THE WORLD MOVES FAST, AND MAYBE THAT’S WHY MORE CULTURALLY FOCUSED SPACES ARE NECESSARY, PLACES WHERE WE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF DIALOGUE.”


Wish you all a wavy ride, TZUNAMI.

TRACKLIST:
A1. Second Skin
A2. The Ring
B1. Neon
B2. Blood

INFO:
With his first EP on Token, Phara conjures up four tracks detailing dancefloor impact with robust personality. In ‘Second Skin’, the Belgian artist is eager for resolution, keeping tension high with the bold analog sound he’s known for. Coming eye to eye with the label’s sound, Phara pays homage to Token while fiercely defending years of artistic direction - layering the label’s astral ambiance with his unstoppable movement.

‘Second Skin’ sets Phara’s intentions clear. The titletrack rolls forward like heavy machinery with what seems like shifting vocals breathing life into the stereo image. This first cut is a gold standard of peaktime production, creating a sense of purpose at the core of urgency. Claps and rides boom and whip around the track that lumbers on with chord stabs to add soul to flare. ‘The Ring’, however, takes the listener into another direction. Heavily centered on the drum sequence with a sharp slap-back delay, Phara plays with resonance, sparking psychosis amongst movement. Playful in the short term, ‘The Ring’ proves to be an ultra-hypnotic track reserved for a set’s high intensity stretches on an already surrendered dancefloor. Taking this energy and pulling it in, ‘Neon’ comes to establish a bit more intimacy at first. Here, the producer diffuses his elements into themselves and, in turn, creates a thick ambiance that drives the record forward in space and dissonance. ‘Neon’ is inquisitive and almost spiritual in its effect, playing with the line between a unified dancefloor and an introspective journey. The conclusion to the EP is ‘Blood’, a return to dryer production - at least in the beginning. Ambient, almost psychedelic synth work sucks in the listener over unwavering energy to create a closing track worthy of its name. Rolling through to the end, ‘Blood’ delivers the final blow to an insatiable record on Token by Phara.
