VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: https://www.voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

This episode features Desroi. Desroi has really been a name to look out for these past few years with a string of strong and successful releases on AVIAN, Semantica, and more frequently his self-named imprint, which has been the home to many of his most successful tracks. Living in Düsseldorf, Germany - Lindeman has always been interested in music, having always grown up around it - he even started his own label while studying composition in art school, and is now known for his hypnotic, sometimes heavy and always attention grabbing productions as Desroi.

Every episode ends with a question pointed towards our community. Want to get involved? Then join our 'Voltage Community' on Facebook or follow our Instagram account (voltage.festival).

Also known for his work as one half of the Syntaxism duo with releases for Warm Up, Evod, Mind Trip and Hayes Collective, Davide Maio AKA Divide drops by our weekly series to lay down a trademark two-hour sample of his tried-and-tested matrix-hacking savoir faire. Playing ping-pong with your mind throughout, from the deepest layers of 303-marinated squelch onto Boston Dynamics-worthy programming, the Italian producer ushers us in an ambiguously rugged and sleek, raging and zen-like continuum of sound. No straightforward answer to be found here, it's all Divide and rule.

Inland (real name Ed Davenport) is a British producer, DJ and founder of Counterchange Recordings based in Berlin. Known for his detailed and explorative techno, he’s released numerous EPs on his home label Counterchange (set up in 2013), and has appeared on Ostgut Ton, Figure, Infrastructure and Nonplus. In 2018 he released his debut Inland LP on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON, an Audio-Visual collaboration with conceptual artist Julian Charrière.
Enamoured with UK dance music culture in the mid 90s, the burning, illicit energy of early rave mixtapes left a huge impression. Mystical bootlegs recorded at mass gatherings in fields or late night Radio One transmissions captured on cassette – their eternal spirit was absorbed and cherished. Now more than 2 decades later, Davenport Channels that fascination and energy into everything he works on, from his own studio productions, to live shows and DJ sets, and the creative curation of Counterchange.

Davenport’s first wave of productions emerged in 2006, characterised by a string of technoid minimal house records on German labels Gumption and Liebe*Detail. That sound morphed into a moody, broken-beat hybrid that peaked with key releases such as ‘More Red Lights’ on UK label NRK in 2011 and his ‘Counterchange’ LP as Ed Davenport the following year. His modernist, minimal-music indebted releases on Maeve (‘Silver Walks’ EP, 2015, ‘Mendocino’, 2018) highlighted his unique skill for storytelling within sound.

Working closely alongside US artist Function between 2014 and 2017, the pair released the comeback record for Function’s classic Infrastucture label, with their critically acclaimed ‘Odeon / Rhyl’ EP and went on to compile the heavyweight ‘Facticity’ compilation, also teaming up with the timeless ‘Colwyn Bay’ in 2016.

Simultaneously, since 2013, Davenport’s own Counterchange label has notched up over 13 releases – the idiosyncratic ‘Solstice’ EP (2013) a blueprint for the Inland sound. Primarily a home for his own productions, the label has also put out music from contemporaries like Boddika, BNJMN, Cassegrain & Tin Man, Magna Pia, Distant Echoes and Pharaoh & Yogg.

In February 2020 Inland released the Stream State compilation, his biggest project to date, combining exclusive tracks from over 20 artists in a vibrant 4 x 12’’ package and DJ mix on Counterchange. Featuring long-time colleagues and personal heroes like Efdemin, DJ Skull, Joel Mull, Peter Van Hoesen, Mark Broom and many more, Ed also selected tracks from Berlin based artists Jamaica Suk, Johanna Knutsson and Fred Mann, and welcomed back BNJMN, P. Lopez and Distant Echoes to the label. The compilation was launched with release parties at FOLD London in collaboration with Codeword, Nitsa Barcelona, Vurt Seoul, Contact Tokyo and more, before the 2020 pandemic put an extensive tour to a halt.

A collaboration with Swiss artist Julian Charrière, the debut Inland LP ‘An Invitation To Disappear’ (A-TON LP 05, 2018) translates Davenport’s soundtrack for Charrière’s gallery-based video installation into eight tracks of rhythmically intricate electronics and spectral techno. Tracking through a palm oil plantation toward a totemic soundsystem on full blast, the LP and Film were debuted live to a full house at Berghain in September 2018.

September’s edition is here and on this episode I am extremely grateful to welcome, Bulgarian artist Ruben Ganev onto the show.

Ruben first caught my attention with his incredible self release on his own Mould Audio imprint. Since he has continued to present his sound in a way that’s unique and outstanding to say the least. 

Based on Sofia, Bulgaria where he also hold his “СКИТНИК” events alongside fellow artists from his scene. Speaking with Ruben tonight we find out more about his musical background and how he structures his workflow in the studio. Plus a little insight into the next release on his label which is a LP from the man himself.

XONO Invites - Ruben Ganev

Originally from France, based in Berlin, @Perfo_20 launched his project last October (2020) with his first Ep on Madrid's Koryu Budo label and will be back on it begining of 2022. With a keen sense of commitment and a hard-working attitude stemming from his background in the world of sports, he is now solely dedicated to his musical passion. End of the year Thibaud will make his debuts on Awry Records, label run by Wrong Assessment.

The French artist uses a in-depth knowledge of old school rhythms and merges them with an " avant-gardiste " and trippy style. His motto : Hold the tension, hold the dynamic.

Lack of Fate - What If [ITU2632]

The 8th instalment of our podcast series comes from special guest Jephta. 

Jefta Wattimena also known as Jephta is a Dutch DJ based in Rotterdam, who is also a resident of the Embodiment organization- a rave that is fueled by the vision of people who are dedicated to the dance floor. A vision in which both the DJ and the dancers are pushed to the very limit to create the most intense and cohesive vibe during the night. With a solid concept, dedicated residents and a successful event at Perron, they proved to be an integral part of the underground scene in Rotterdam, which is very refreshing to the current state of the underground music scene.

Jephta is an up and coming artist, who quickly established himself in the local scene after playing at events like Orphic in Amsterdam and Extended in The Hague. His undeniable talent and intelligent approach to selection and mixing were quickly recognized, which led him to playing bigger events such as Reaktor alongside artists like Lobster and Comrade Winston, Anthony Linell, Planetary Assault Systems, Bjarki, and Oscar Mulero. 

For Jephta electronic music is a way of expressing oneself and escaping reality. Its a moment where he can let go of the worries and stress of the day-to-day life and feel peace, anger or any emotion he needs to feel at that moment. As he is a passionate dancer and clubber himself, Techno is just the perfect match. 

Characterized by hypnotic, trippy and experimental sounds in his sets and heavily influenced by artists and labels like Drumcell, Ancient Methods, Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation, Jephta’s main goal is to make people feel the music he plays, which is often a selection of diverse sub-genres mixed in a smooth and consistent set. Driven by the values of techno culture and his own experiences, he wants to offer the audience an opportunity to establish a connection or simply set their emotions free and enjoy the dance floor while sharing the happiness with the ravers around. A soundscape created by Jephta means a full mind and body experience.  

He recorded this set for us at his home in The Netherlands, and you can expect a very consistent deep journey with just the right amount of melancholia, which progresses into a heavier more dancefloor oriented mood.

‘’Electronic music is the blood that runs through my veisns, the air that flows through my lungs. It keeps me alive and it lets me enjoy life even in dark times.’’ – Jephta 

Featuring labels: Distraction Records, Cyclic Law, Hypnus Records, Modularz, Northern Electronics, The Temple & The Low Dive, offworldcolonies ltd., Hands Productions, Avian, Affin LTD, Sonic Groove, Posh Isolation, Electric Deluxe, Sublunar

The days are getting shorter while the nights are getting longer. The desire to be on the dancefloor gets bigger and bigger so it’s time to pull out the big guns and fulfill our needs.

The Amsterdam based JAIPA, resident of our good friends at Orphic, is the perfect artist to bring us to this state of mind. He provided us with an immense three-hour journey about which he had the following to say:

‘The idea behind this set is to take the listener through my ideal club night from beginning to end. For this, I pulled inspiration from my own experiences from the past that stayed with me to date.’

This set breaths authenticity and it’s impressive to hear how he manages to capture all the different moments and express them by using the right dynamics. Take your time and enjoy this three-hour journey for Embodiment Salon’s 14th podcast.
