Who better than DIAL stalwart Efdemin could wrap up the year on such a distinctly class-act type of note? Probably no one. He who’s become an absolute gem trader over the years through a string of epoch-making efforts, including the time-proof masterpiece that is “Decay” in 2014, drops by to grace us with a mesmeric Xmas tale by way of waving goodbye to 2022. Extruding elements of techno deepness out their usual cast to mingle them with that exploratory, jazz-inflected approach of his - subtly pairing the lingering beauty of stretched-out synths with that of free-flowing 4x4 grooves and haunting melodies, Efdemin entices us on a path of delectably focused and flavourful techno sensibility. An absolute pleasure and honour for us to round off 2022 in such good company.

Clocking in this week, Manchester-based duo Blasha & Allatt turn up in the series with a potent two-hour workout, nimbly floating in limbo betwixt hard-hitting 909 firepower and more understated, a la Basic Channel / Chain Reaction dub tech motifs. Ebulliently dynamic and mind-expandingly hypnotic to the bone, this mix from the Vault Sessions resident pair is engineered for sustained traction throughout, pushing each and every button possible to steer your senses into euphoric abandon, which it brilliantly succeeds in. Stop what you’re doing, hold your breath and dive down Blasha & Allatt’s mesmerizing headspace, filled with gooduns to help you breeze through the fabled shitty Monday effortlessly.

One of Sweden’s most monitored prospects within the techno realm, Dold has been making waves thanks to a stream of boundary-pushing rippers for the likes of KEY, Float, MindTrip and his Arsenik label this past couple of years. Adding his playful spin to the gridlocked tech continuum, Dold - real name Patrik Eriksson - embarks us on a bumpy, unrelenting ride across jagged IDM scapes and electroid reliefs only he knows the path to. Enter a trip bound to have you headbanging to a never-ending assault of heavily trippin’ four-to-the-floor, arpeggiated zen-like cascades of sound and other nimble junglistic pleasures, perfect to keep everyone guessing what the next bar holds. Keeping it fresh no matter what.

Subradeon is a musical mission started more than fifteen years ago in southern Italy, well known as a territory rich in artistic and musical vanguards, with the intention to continue and be an active part of that message born in Detroit’s streets in the middle 80’s: “live the music” as a universal message, as the most important thing, as a cultural movement. One thing is clear, from the first listen one can appreciate their innovative ability, their creativity in mixing different styles, honouring the pure techno sound with the soul of Motown combined with elements that range from hip hop to jazz, from funk to soul. 

Very happy to announce Subradeon and his raw and old school Detroit approach of djing, as the first guest of our new podcast series.

Oslated Special Mix 044 - Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell

Now in its 200th instalment, this Podcast has given voice to a diverse offering of global talents across the musical spectrum, from the democratic rhythms of zeitgeist appropriate techno and house through to more avant-garde synthwork.

This next guest has cast a large shadow over the technosphere, so large in fact, that no introduction could fully encompass the breadth of his achievements. But in brief: Ben Klock is a titan whose formative years were spent playing marathon mixes to the crowds at Berlin’s (then recently opened) Berghain. Off the back of his endurance sets and the club’s success he became a household name whose influence grew to be felt across the world, with a body of work that includes appearances at an exhaustive list of clubs and festivals, a number of hot releases on Ostgut Ton and an equally respected self-run label (Klockworks) to boot. On this second imprint, his own productions have repeatedly seen the light of day, alongside those from the likes of DVS1, Sterac, Stef Mendesidis and younger talents like Temudo and Vil & Cravo. The sound, ubiquitous as it is, will be familiar to anyone involved in the world of electronic music and there’s good reason for that: Klock’s deep and percussive work and ability to pull from a wide range of influences have earmarked him as a unique agent for the techno cause. Atmospheric and delivered with hammering force, Klock’s refined palette for rhythms is as relevant now as ever. Bassiani Podcast 200 is a measure of driving loops and purist textures, dexterous and provocative techno from start to finish, simply put: a banger

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

Better be ready for our next SPANDAU20 Mixtape guest: Swedish techno legend @CariLekebusch! 📼

Now based in Helsinki, Cari is a key figure from the second generation of techno producers in the late '80s and '90s. His relentless innovation has cemented his place as pioneer of the Swedish techno scene. With over thirty years in music, his reputation as a studio scientist is well-documented. Throughout his career, he has adopted numerous pseudonyms and consistently pushed the boundaries of techno.🚀

For his SPND20 mixtape, Cari keeps it minimal yet powerful on the gear side, with an Allen & Heath DB4 mixer and three Pioneer CDJs. He adds a unique touch with extra loops and sounds from his iPhone app, "EZPZ." If you’re into experimenting, you should definitely check it out—it's free!🔊

The mixtape revolves around the vibe of his upcoming album, "Hybrid Sound Architects V1.0," dropping June 24th on his label H-Productions. Expect a journey through sweaty, raw, and hypnotic soundscapes. The tape seamlessly blends deep, pulsing beats with abrasive, unrefined textures that keep you locked in from start to finish. Cari’s selections showcase a mix of new tracks from the album and other personal favorites, bringing a fresh yet timeless energy to the mix.🌀

An interesting fact for our fellow DJs and producers: Cari's registered this mix as a virtual mix on "aslice", ensuring all artists get their fair share.🖤

SPND20 Mixtape by Cari Lekebusch

Approach 1:

If I had to choose a country whose techno I could only listen to, I would probably choose Spain. Even though the decision would be difficult, as it would mean giving up artists like Shed! There is little techno that is as energetic, dynamic, fierce, and passionate, yet so trippy, inviting, and full of groove as Spanish techno. This is the feeling I want to create and convey with the podcast. It makes sense to broaden the focus a bit and mix in material from the UK – you can just hear the industrial revolution, the fiery spirit it reflects. The overarching theme is therefore Spanish techno music, supplemented with music from different parts of the world that, for me, brings a similar vibe.


Approach 2:

For me, the former Berghain system embodies techno music. I wanted to use music that seemed made for this place. The old F1 sound system combined with the unmistakable reverb downstairs has accompanied and shaped me for the past 16 years. If I were to receive an evening slot today, I would play in this direction. This set is, of course, a condensed version, but I think the essence comes across.

Approach 3:
Hardness doesn't come from BPM! For me, there is little straight 4x4 techno above 140 BPM that has enough room to breathe and enough space to really create groove with low-end and syncopation. This is why I rarely play faster than 138 BPM. I find that between 134 and 138, you can draw out an incredible amount of dynamics and tension. The BPM range in this podcast is between 134 and 136, and I feel that the arc of tension works perfectly.


Approach 4:

You often see short clips on social media where people are mixing with 6-8 turntables. That's why I deliberately decided against a third or fourth CDJ/turntable. I wanted to show that if the music is well-produced and has sufficient dynamic range you can create an incredible amount of tension and flow with just two decks.

In this spirit: Less is more... Isn’t that what techno is all about?

Enjoy, and be kind to each other and yourselves!
