Having grown up in a house where collecting music was the norm, Swedish-born DJ Philippa Pacho has carried this through to her adult life. As a result, the Berlin-based artist is a well-tuned and confident selector who knows how to capture an audience in any given situation.
It all began with her father’s hobby of collecting jazz, blues and folk records. As a teenager, Philippa built her own music library before attending her first rave, and later discovering the underworld of dance music and club culture.

As standard in a community of electronic music heads, Philippa made friends from the scene in Stockholm and in 2010, formed a collective with a handful of girlfriends. Together, the women curated their night every Thursday at 2:35:1; an art gallery and club located in the city centre. It was here that Philippa delved into DJing headfirst, taking advantage of the creative freedom on offer and learning the skills of mixing and working the dancefloor until dawn. With two years of DJing under her belt, by this time she earned a residency at the Stockholm-based club Under Bron — where she remains the longest-running resident since the space opened in 2010 — Philippa’s early sound leant towards hypnotic techno, but she has since graduated to a include myriad of bouncy and tripped-out rhythms within the genre.
Playing at forest raves on the outskirts of Stockholm and upending abandoned warehouses in the city — balanced between Under Bron bookings — these raw experiences infiltrated Philippa’s sound down to the last cadence, resulting in her groove-heavy collection and quick-fire blending.

Making the move to Berlin in 2014 allowed Philippa to flourish and finesse her sound. Known today for merging contemporary and old-school techno while dipping into different tempos and sub-genres, Philippa has played for Ellen Allien’s We Are Not Alone series, Synoid parties and DJ Tool, D.Dan and Hyperaktivist’s event, Mala Junta. Such a diverse range of bookings has allowed her to reveal other dimensions to her sound, and joining MESS line-ups — a collective that celebrates diversity and supporting DIY club culture worldwide — has recently contributed to the growth of Philippa’s profile.

A recent chapter for Philippa sees her founding the label ‘positivesource’ together with Blue Hour. The pair release various artist EPs from artists including Oprofessionell, Newa, Sugar, Alan Backdrop, Rove Ranger, Lady Starlight, LDS, Blue Hour himself and many more.
With the return of nightlife, Philippa’s focus remains crisp and clear; her goal is to get you to move your whole body in expressive ways. She sees herself as a dancer first and foremost and has that always in mind when she performs. "A good DJ set is like a candy bag. You need a bit of the sweet, sour and some unexpected flavours to tickle your taste buds."

Born and raised in Morocco, Chami has been djing there before moving to Lyon, France and discovering his passion for techno. Now based in Berlin, where he has definitely become a cornerstone of the Stützpunkt Crew and fully integrated Berlin local underground scene.

Chami is one of those artists that truly reflects the spirit of techno, no superficial exterior surface of these days but only focusing on the pure art form itself. This mindset allows him to gained the trust of master such as Freddy K, evident during their spontaneous after hours b2b at Suicide Club in recent times, and also his debut with OPH at the legendary Berghain this month.

With his strong and determined vinyl only sets Chami is able to showcase his talent on the decks and demonstrate his deep knowledge for this very technical art. Lock in for a clean, rhythmic and hard-hitting hour of no bullshit techno.

Back to the UK for the latest podcast episode: Manchester-based DJ Yant might be a relative newcomer but his name is starting to do some serious rounds. His full-on bass assaults have garnered attention from techno top brass like Setaoc Mass and Ben Sims, making 2022 a year which might just prove his zero hour. His productions are gaining momentum too, and a freshly launched party series titled Refocus promises to breathe new life into his chosen neck of the woods. For the latter, he himself plays and encourages longer set-times, with the aim of promoting more daring, less obvious track selections and pushing forward his thundering big-room sound. Just a heads up: these burgeoning beats are resonant, sweaty and thrilling; Bassiani Podcast 157 is raw, ferocious techno from this fledgling British heavyweight.

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.

Reclaim Your City 525 | Blasha & Allatt

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.
