The Techno of 2022

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: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Having started out in the early 2010’s, Mario Campo quickly joined the famous Pole Group after a string of big releases that saw him rise up in the Spanish scene. His music remains highly immersive and almost atmospheric, but where his music seemed to have more of a dub roundness to it a few years back, his productions nowadays have reduced in sonic depth but gained in impact. 

Kwartz has been able to differentiate himself while being highly complementary to the contemporary scene by combining his cloudy style with Spanish club efficiency to make weapons on wax.

FrenzyPodcast.109 TWR72

The first podcast of 2022 will be provided by TWR72. TWR72 has already joined us at our event back in October, together with the Italian force Alarico, and now we’re happy to have him for one more round on the series! 

It is fair to say that TWR72 has left important marks in the scene in the past couple of years. With his own productions, TWR72 created a signature sound which contain a strong groove, cutting drive backed with trippy synths that have impacted many nights already. As head honcho of Float Records and OOM Records TWR72 gave platform to a huge set of artists, both renowned and upcoming. 

For our 109th podcast TWR72 created a one-hour mix that has us moving from the start and makes us miss the dance floor even more. Driving prime techno with heavy hitting loops, trippy synths and vocal chips, from the start to the end; a perfect way to open 2022 if you ask us. Listen to the sound of TWR72 here, enjoy!

1/ Who are you? What do you do?
A curious soul with the guts to go. I shape my life the way I admire it. The auditive language is my first language. I experiment with it and rely here on my feelings.

2/ If you were an animal, which one would you be?
A horse probably.

3/ B2B of your dream?
Sterac.. or Marco Shuttle.. Or maybe even Nina Kravitz! With her it will surely not get boring! :)

4/ A guilty pleasure?
A pack of Haribo is gone in 30 minutes.

5/ Your podcast in one word?

CECILIA TOSH - SPECTRUM PODCAST 060

Polish Techno.logy | Podcast #159 | Insolate
20.01.2022

It is a great honor and pride to host our Croatian sister - Insolate on our platform! I don't think anyone needs to be introduced to this artist, who has been influencing the local techno scene for many years! 

[BIO]:
A veritable powerhouse of the Croatian techno scene Insolate has been establishing a global presence as a DJ and producer for over 20 years delivering as both a label boss at Out Of Place and the creative force behind their electrifying TRAUM events. Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows, she is making her first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and worldwide clubs. 
Her list of clubs and partys she played is impressive and includes Berghain, Rex, Tresor, Under Club, Club d’Anvers, Unter, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland, ADE and Dimensions Festival. Amongst many European clubs she played numerous tours in Colombia and recently added USA, China and Argentina to the list.
As a producer, she's had a string of releases on highly respected labels including Ellen Alien’s Bpitch, Ben Sims’s Symbolism and Machine, DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted, Marcelus’s Singular and Developer’s Modularz - supported and played by some of techno's finest including Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Dax J and Ilario Alicante. Also she released the stellar Obscure Object Of Desire EP on JoeFarr's new User Experience imprint, EP for a Suara and beautiful EP for Proletarijat, label run by Sev Dah. She also contributed to Ben Sim’s compilation Tribology among giants as Planetary Assault Systems, Oscar Mulero, Steffi etc. and also made super interesting collaboration with french producer Arnaud le Texier and released EP with him for Prodigal Son.
In 2019. she announced her debut album. The album Order is Chaos was released as a double vinyl and contains 10 tracks with extremely interesting collaborations with MATRIXXMAN and singer SARA RENAR. DJ Mag (UK) described album as “exciting journey thru trans-dimensional vocals, acid drenched sequences and floor obligated bangers.” In 2021. she started Online Production Masterclass right after attending 1U4 Leadership Academy when everything went online during pandemic and no one could access classrooms - so we all switched to the virtual ones. Her and long-time partner in crime Volster also run the event series TRAUM in her native Osijek. TRAUM events have cemented their place in the clubbing calendar with quality artists like Paula Temple, Antigone, Cassegrain, Janice, Etapp Kyle and Milton Bradley, just to name a few. The final part of putting Osijek on the techno map was taken in 2015 with the launch of the label Out Of Place which Insolate runs with Volster. The label was named in honour of the beautiful struggle of carving your own way into the scene from a place that's well off the grid from the traditional capitals of techno. Now five releases strong, the label has already had contributions from heavyweights like Milton Bradley, Developer, JoeFarr, Francois X, Janice and many more. As a DJ, Insolate is well known for her no-compromise, pure-bred techno sets. It's clear to anyone who's seen her perform that she's an artist with a lot of experience but also plenty of inspiration and ambition, and a deep knowledge of techno. She is simply a natural presence in a DJ booth. If you've seen her play, you will know exactly what this means.

Parisian – Benales has been honing his skills since the end of the 90s with impeccable taste and steady determination. As an avid record collector, vinyl only DJ and enthusiast of Techno and House – his DJ sets and tracks combine the raw, dark and deep elements of these musical forms with a firm nod in the direction of Detroit. His talent allows him to put himself in many clubs in Europe like Tresor, Rex Club, Le sucre, The Gate (Georgia)... but also as a regular guest of Concrete when it’s not rare to find Benales surrounded by guest of solid reputation like DVS1, Zadig, Surgeon, Steve Bicknell, Dj Pete, James Ruskin. Fascinated by Techno and coldness of electronic music, he released some EP’s and remixes on Sino (Technasia Label), and notably “Elements part 1 & part 2” have marked his spot in the international scene. Over the years, he had several releases on outstanding labels like KEY Vinyl, Suburban Avenue, Analog Solutions, Knotweed, Diffuse Reality and many more to follow.

Portal Episode 36 by Markus Suckut and Morten B.

We're glad to invite Eerste Communie co-founder & resident @marron-official to our podcast series just in time after rocking his first appearance in Berghain :)

Continuously trying to exceed his own limits, MARRØN employs fast rhythmics inspired by his roots. The artist’s moniker pays homage to the strong-willed MARRØN’s, a once-enslaved African tribe who defied oppression and found freedom in the primeval forests of Surinam. The hypnotic, percussive beats characterizing MARRØN’s foundational Afro Deep style have evolved to form a singular conception of techno. His dynamic take on the genre is at home in the underground, most notably in his role as co-founder and resident of Amsterdam’s Eerste Communie. 
Enjoy :*

TWR72 joins for DifferentSound Podcast #110.

TWR72 pioneers a forward thinking approach towards electronic music: a fusing and pulsing rhythm with a cutting drive, binding it with a strong signature groove. Amsterdam based, he premiered a collaboration with Truncate in 2014. This was the same year in which Float Records was established that explores the combination of perfection and simplicity shown by both new talented producers as well as renowned artists. Between 2016 and 2020, he had his debut in Techno’s most praised club, Berghain, released the successful EP 'X' on his own label and surprised with the unique series 'ERROR' which all let to touring around Europe and the US. In 2020, TWR72 started his 2nd label for his long love and passion: the Techno era of the late nineties, early twenties. OOM Records brings back that memorable sound with high BPM loop groovers for a new era. Furthermore, a fruitful collaboration with the Amsterdam based party organization Orphic has started. After closing 2020 with a successful EP at close friends label HAYES, TWR72 celebrates 2021 with the 50th release "VOID" on Float Records and his debut on Mindtrip Records. After the summer, his first EP "Venom" on OOM Records is to be released and he will debut on Setaoc Mass' SK_Eleven.

We're very excited to bring you The Advent's set from Meat Free, recorded at The White Hotel on the 1st April 2022. 

Cisco was originally meant to play for us in August 2021 but Covid put a stop to that; thankfully we were able to fulfil our goal of having him to play for us and it couldn't have gone any better in our honest opinion. 

Crowd noise included for extra vibes :)

Few are the artists who can claim to have as much influence in the international techno scene as Setaoc Mass. Producer, DJ, and label-owner, Sam Coates has been pushing forward club music with his work since his debut release in 2011.

Originally from the UK and now based in Germany, Setaoc Mass partially started out with an interest in IDM and electronica out of a small village outside Manchester he called home before ever stepping into techno. With a consistently strong stream of releases since the beginning, it was in 2015 he began his journey with SK-11 which initially was meant exclusively for self-releases. That was the case until Yant sent him demos, for which Coates created the SK-X sublabel, which became the center of attention in the scene since this first release.

Following this was a steady flow of releases that made their way in the world’s top selectors record bags, featuring new-comers like New York’s Holden Federico, or affirming strong careers like Holland’s TWR-72. With a relationship to techno tracks like tools for mixing tunneling and hypnotic sets for an attentive crowd, Setaoc Mass has brought his sets all over the world, often with tracks he either produced or pressed with the SK logo. Always in search of the next effect, the next artist, or the next track, Setaoc Mass’s ear has crafted him a career that has only been on the rise since it started.
