Follow @agonis-amenthia on SoundCloud:

We’re excited to present the 69th release of the Embodiment podcast series, featuring a set from Agonis, co-founder of Amenthia Recordings. After his mesmerizing performance at one of our club nights in 2024, we’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re thrilled to share this exploration of Agonis' electronic music catalogue.

Some personal words by Agonis: 
"The mix conveys music, which I think works for listening at home. I didn't want to go for one style but rather wanted to mix things with a similar vibe which fit the current spring and sunny mood."

We invite you to tune in as it’s a set that truly speaks for itself. Enjoy the ride.

Follow @spacedrummeditation on SoundCloud:

For the 70th entry in our series, we welcome Space Drum Meditation, a duo renowned for their immersive sound journeys that blur the line between music and ritual. 

This set continues our exploration of sound, guided by rhythms and textures rooted in tradition. Their music takes inspiration from spiritual culture and the natural world: Ritualistic percussions, a breeze, and the call of animals, all woven into an experience that connects body and mind. 

The podcast is as authentic as their closing during our last club event so tune in and let the sound carry you.

Follow @keinblume on SoundCloud.

For this next entry in the Embodiment series, we’re proud to share a deeply atmospheric and intuitively woven mix by BLUME.

"Lately I’ve been dwelling in a strange in-between," BLUME shares, "and this mix lives there too. No bpm to hold onto, no genre to fall into. Ghosted rhythms, soft dissonance, moments of friction, and traces of fourth world brass dissolving into smoke. Not meant to resolve, just to linger."

One thing we resonate with deeply is how BLUME moves fluidly across genre boundaries not as a showcase, but as a way of creating dynamics and narrative. The tracks don’t just follow one another, they speak, echo, and unfold together like fragments of a larger story.

No need to overthink it just press play and see where it takes you.

Follow @DjSportt on SoundCloud.

DjSport turns up the intensity with the 72nd Embodiment podcast. A polyrhythmic, dystopian paradise for those who find comfort in experiencing the unexpected.

Born and raised on the island of Mauritius and now based in Barcelona, DjSport is known for her captivating approach to sound. She carefully plays with tension, release, and the uncanny.

Speaking on the mix, she reflects: “The weird tendency to listen to the sound of crickets filling my brain with distorted melodies.” A glimpse into the world she invites us to step into.

Clocking in our series at number 398, Manchester’s Setaoc Mass pulls out a striking exemplar of his recondite techno narratives with two hours spanning everything from stealth, quake-inducing 4x4 ordnance to off-kilter kosmische furls, through shape-shifting cyber tribalism and back again. Whether you find him busy manoeuvring the helm of his own label, SK_Eleven, or moping the floor with formless crowds of ecstatic souls at the warehouse, one thing’s for certain - Coates knows all too well how to craft hauntologically wild and submerging sonic momentums. Be sure to peep his latest double-package, ’Neo-Noir’, out in all good record stores on 25th September. Surgical precision, maximum penetration.

We’re very excited to present Duplicity 043 featuring an hour and a half of raw and loopy groove-laden techno heat from Alarico.

Alarico is a young producer and DJ based from Milan, Italy.

With an array of self-released tunes and recent releases on Fabrik Music and EP release Newrhythmic Records, be sure to keep an eye out!

On the last episode of the MindTrip podcast for 2020 Pfirter invited one of Portugal’s leading artists of the current techno scene, João Rodrigues aka Temudo. He lives & breathes music since he was a kid when he started his education in sound. Having initially dived into the Drum ’n’ Bass fields as Medio, he continued being eager to learn and experiment, and that was when he began exploring the sound of Techno. Up to date he has released on labels like Soma, Modularz, Clergy, Mord, Synewave, Planet Rhythm and also Hayes, a collaborative platform run by himself together with Nørbak, VIL, -2 and Osse focused on showcasing the distinct output of its artists through vinyl and digital releases. Temudo created an exceptional 60 min mix including music from Vince Watson, Diego Amura, Divide, Troy, Kwartz and much more, as well as upcoming unreleased tracks by himself.

We would like to thank all artists who have contributed with their music and mixes to our MindTrip Podcast so far and also to our listeners who continue to support every single episode. Stay safe and have a Happy Trippy Different New Year!

We feel absolutely blessed to welcome Adelia on Cellar Door. The Prague born and Barcelona based  DJ started her career with a heavier and darker techno sounds, however she quickly gravitated towards the deep and hypnotic sphere.

Getting inspired by the Spanish nature, she has  been brilliantly pursuing  the gurgling sound and representing it on some of the most interesting mixing platforms (Oslated, Charybdis, Fur:ther Sessions etc.)

As a music platform, we feel like it’s our duty to both discover and maintain all corners of the techno spectrum within our values. This time SALON hosts a renowned duo that continuously develops and innovates their sound and vision. 

Abstract Division provided us with a strong set that reaches from deeper atmospheres to aggressive club sounds. The set is an energetic experience that takes us back to the dance floor.

Abstract Division is a duo formed by Paul Boex and Dave Miller. They have numerous releases on labels like FIGURE, Semantica, and of course their own label, Dynamic Reflection. The releases on Dynamic Reflection are mainly dancefloor-oriented, but still very fresh and renewing. Every release embodies the artists' own character, but at the same time, it fits into the overarching image that Dynamic Reflection stands for. On top of that they recently set up a new merchandise line and the duo will release a new EP in the near future. Also, Dave recently ‘revived’ the label Audiosculpture with his co-founders.

If this all isn’t enough, the duo also has their own club concept called DECODE. With this concept, they organize label nights in which they also manage to incorporate upcoming artists. A perfect match for the straight-up Techno enthusiast.

For now though, please enjoy the set as much as we do!

#53 by https://soundcloud.com/takaaki_itoh
Podcast series by Club Rote Sonne from Munich, Germany - www.rote-sonne.com

Techno hit Japan hard in the early 1990s. Surprised, Takaaki Itoh was quickly impressed and intrigued with this new sound. The unique style of beats revealed the gateway to a new world of underground music in Japan – something he had never heard before. Surprise slowly gave way to addiction when Takaaki Itoh was exposed to the sounds of such artists and labels as Underground Resistance, Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Hardfloor, Sven V?, Harthouse, Warp and Rising High. This was his sound, and deciding he just couldn’t get enough of it, in 1994 Takaaki began to organize his own techno parties in his home of northern Japan. By providing a fantastic lineup, his parties quickly became a success.

Rote Sonne Podcast 53 | Takaaki Itoh

Up next with an idiosyncratically hypnotic, massive-as-usual delivery is Token mainstay and Copenhagen-based floor destroyer Ctrls. Initially schooled to the feverish sound of rattling jungle drums and amen breaks under the Pyro alias, Troels Baunbæk-Knudsen has vamped up his sound from stem to stern, laying the foundation to a techno body of work both inherently raw and inch-perfectly executed. A true surgeon of the groove, the Danish producer boasts his clinical skills and mind-bending mixing hoodoo in compelling style throughout. Get in the loop!

Clouds with Skee Mask (Guest Mix) - 28 February 2021

Thirty-first guest of the clubs podcast series is a Spanish DJ, Producer and live-performer, member of PoleGroup and Founder of Order & Devotion - Kwartz

KHIDI Podcast NR.31: Kwartz

We are delighted to celebrate our 5th anniversary with the German producer Ancient Methods (Persephonic Sirens / [aufnahme + wiedergabe].

Ancient Methods is the project of Michael Wollenhaupt.

Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ - movement. 
This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. 
However the mechanical framework is - no more, no less - a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.
The project is pictorially associated with „The Fall Of Jericho“-picture, that adorned the first releases of the eponymous „Ancient Methods“ label. 
The wall-breaking image is metaphorical not only for the sound of the project. 
Bringing formerly rather dissociated musical subcultures closer to each other has been an integral and fertile part of Michael Wollenhaupt’s work. 
The results are not only well documented by releases on labels like aufnahme + wiedergabe, HANDS and Hospital Productions. 

As a prolific remixer he worked among many others for the post-punkers of Soft Moon, synth-pop greats Wolfsheim, industrial-legends Bourbonese Qualk, synth-wave icon Beta Evers and beat-scientist Powell. 
The project has also been playing genre- crossing festivals like Maschinenfest, Wave-Positive Education - to name a few.
The genre-crossing qualities of the projects not only become obvious in his productions or during the live shows (the latter supported by Wahiba Khadri on drums and guitar) but also during Ancient Methods’ DJ-sets. 
Michael is dragging his obvious influences such as wave, EBM, industrial but also classical, liturgical, psychedelic and folk music into the techno frame to drop them on the dance floors and hereby delivering an intimate, rather introverted euphoria. 

Under the Room 506 moniker some of his DJ-edits (e.g. for Killian Camera or Deutsch Nepal received vinyl releases due to public demand).
Throughout the years Wollenhaupt has been collaborating with Regis to form Ugandan Methods, with Orphx as Eschaton, with Cindytalk as In The Mouth Of The Wolf, and Prurient taking the project to new levels.
The border crossing is furthermore elaborated with a monthly radio show on Berlin Community Radio and the launch of a new label from Ancient Methods, Persephonic Sirens, which aim is to support new and like-minded artists.

We could not be more honored to host one of our favorite artists on the series.
Enjoy the ride!
