Writing about techno is quite difficult without falling into clich&eacute;: there are only so many ways that you can say something about a music whose core elements are forged on deliberate repetition; where real talent is attributed to those who can find the perfect groove where nothing needs added or subtracted to hold the listener's attention for upwards of five minutes. 

Such tracks are the hallmark of Tresor's catalogue, and this joy in repetition can be found in works from Detroit, Berlin, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and more. And it is through this lens that Parisian artist, UFO95, focuses his output, resulting in Backward Improvement, an EP that sits perfectly in the spectrum of techno found in the Tresor chronology. 

The title itself makes an abstract reference to the influence of the classics of the genre, inspiring him to take a distinct less-is-more approach to production for this collection of stripped-down yet unrelenting techno chiselled from the live set which has fixed UFO95 as one of the next holdfasts for the future of the scene. 

Perhaps it is the fact the UFO95 only performs live that had led to such crisp and focussed studio productions.; each of the tracks showcase the artist's burgeoning talent for creating the essential foundations of techno; perfect, looping, instinctual grooves that are counterbalanced by an apprehensive tension from off-key tones. 

Backward Improvement marks the addition of a new name in the list of techno's best producers and proves that while the genre may now be in its 40th year there are yet sonic explorations to be made and variations that are worth unearthing.

PODCAST 086 - NO.MASC // @nomasc

no.masc es un artista queer con bases en Barcelona caracterizado por su fluidez de géneros, energía y dinamismo a la hora de hacer sus presentaciones. Son esas algunas de las razones por las que su nombre está sonando cada vez más fuerte en la escena underground europea, donde ya cuenta con presentaciones en varios clubes de renombre como lo son Den Anden Side, Moog, Laut, Trekanten, Module, The Garage of The Bass Valley & Macarena; así como también en varios festivales y eventos como GAG, Balls Baile, Room Trax, Substantiv, Festa Major de Poble Sec y Selectors, donde además es residente.

Su sonido base es el techno y a partir de allí conviven resonancias hipnóticas con paisajes de tribal, mayormente caracterizados por un enérgico groove que puede variar

entre ritmos rápidos y contundentes hacia narrativas más nostálgicas en las que conviven un sonido actual y arriesgado junto a muchas referencias del pasado.

no.masc es creador y curador de No Tags, colectivo queer/FLINTA de gran renombre en la escena.

PODCAST 086 - NO.MASC

Parisian DJ and rising star on the scene, @mmaemm draws much of her inspiration from artists who can tell a story in their sets, like DJ Tool, DJ Maria, Kia or of course Freddy K and DJ Nobu, whose sets are powerful masterclasses. 

Maemm is trying more and more to break down the barriers between musical genres to nuance his techno sets, and add a bit of depth by mixing other sounds from ambient, break and dub, which inspire him a lot. 

Maemm is delighted to be sharing a dynamic, energetic DJ set with us today, which might sound like something she'd play at peak time in a club.
