We are super proud to receive Ruman into the spaceship. It was about time to invite him to join us after his impressive works in labels we respect a lot like Subsist for example. 
 
He gives us no less than fifteen merciless tools, all of them made with a minimal recipe with a few components in the game, usually a well constructed rhythm and a single complex sequence. Add some distortion and a superb sound design and you have it.
 
This is not a concept album, all the exercises here are meant to be used and abused, they cry to be played in the loudest sound system possible, they are made to dance, to set your body free, to sweat and get lost.
 
You won’t find ambient interludes here, nothing non physical, nothing elusive or to be reflexive, here it’s all about dynamics and physicality. 
 
To write some lines about each of these tracks will result in almost an unreadable book and as we said this is not made to think about it but to react about it as a player or as a dancer. 
 
We just invite you to embrace this adventure into senseless dance and be as happy as we are releasing it.

Mode L - Transition to another state

In the 116th episode of Techno Cartel Podcast we are very pleased to host Paula Cazenave

Paula Cazenave is synonymous with Techno and boasts a rich career spanning decades. Hailing from San Sebastian-Donostia in the north of Spain, she made Barcelona her home in 2003 and has since left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene. From the late 90s onwards, Paula has graced the stages of prestigious venues and festivals across Spain, Europe, and South America, with notable appearances at Awakenings, DGTL, Brunch in the Park, Dreambeach, Aquasella, and many more.
Her journey commenced by juggling her studies in audiovisual production and sound technology with weekend gigs in the vibrant Basque Country nightlife. Upon relocating to Barcelona, Paula dove headfirst into DJing and event organization, establishing herself as a key figure in the city's thriving scene. Venues like La Cova became her playground, solidifying her position as a stalwart of the Barcelona electronic music community.

As an artist, Paula embodies the essence of a true DJ, eschewing gimmicks for a pure, no-nonsense approach. Her sets are masterfully crafted in the tradition of old-school DJs, characterized by impeccable technique, lightning-fast and seamless mixes, and a boundless versatility that traverses everything from pulsating grooves to dark, raw sounds—all stamped with her unmistakable signature style. While she defies categorization within specific Techno sub-genres, her sets consistently deliver sheer force and energy. Influenced by luminaries like James Ruskin, The Advent, Ben Sims, Surgeon, and Slam, Paula's musical evolution has remained steadfastly rooted in her unwavering commitment to Techno.

Since 2017, Paula has immersed herself in the management of Combine Audio, her label which has become a beacon of Techno excellence. Hosting releases from esteemed artists such as Ben Sims, Ken Ishii, DJ Shufflemaster, Patrik Skoog, Gayle San, DJ Rush, PWCCA, Israel Toledo, Pushmann, Jeroen Search, and a host of emerging talents, Combine Audio has cemented its position as a formidable player in the Spanish Techno scene, garnering widespread support from artists and fans worldwide.
