Vel, Alias Jennifer Parienté, is Moroccan artist, France-Based, Dj,
Producer of electronic music and engineer. When she left Rabat, her hometown, at 18 years old for Lyon, Jennifer studied to become an
engineer. Yet, one particular night shook her path up: she met techno music for the first time at Le Sucre and it was love at first sight. With these new Doors opened, she passionately nurtured
from the club culture she encountered there, up to the point where she allowed herself to ascend, becoming Vel. Celar-paced yet textured techno, powerful yet graceful, Vel’s sound radiates
through throbbing drums she summons from her memories, celestial whispers and fragile voices: the divine feminine emanates from all
the pulsating vibrations she casts. During sets, Vel knows no limits of genre, she’s always eager to hit hard, defying boundaries and BPMs, a true force of nature.

In a small amount of time, Vel’s journey was already marked by the friendship and the guidance of artists such as François X, u.r.trax or In Aeternam Vale. She looks up to them and to other artists where she also finds inspiration: Bjarki, Anetha, Schacke, Objekt...

Vel is appearing on compilations such as Blue Hour’s last release, will release a collaboration track with Unklevon on Boys Noise records, and will soon be releasing her debut album on Mama told ya.

Awakenings Podcast S302 - Vel

After 4 years I am back with the sequel to 22 Rhythm. Two hours of unreleased music from the past years. Plenty tracks in here are planned for release, so stay tuned.

I hope you enjoy listening just as much as I enjoyed the process of creating. As life evolves, so does my sonic interpretation of her cadence. Different from the past; different from the future.

26 Rhythm [two hours of unreleased tracks]

LDS (an acronym for Luca Daniel Schwarz) is based out of Stuttgart, and fast blazing a trail beyond his native Germany. 2018 saw his Dub Tapes From Outer Space EP out on Transatlantic Records, dubby techno stirrings crossbred with a hint of the psychedelic, dub both reduxed and reinterpreted, and people started to pay attention. From his studio, he pushed this work in all directions, a process of investigation, critical thinking, creation of sounds and modulation, a spark plug method of getting his software instruments into the kind of feedback loop he needs to produce the best results. Conceptually, though there’s a mirroring of past influence, it’s music for a newer and thoroughly networked era: the ‘educational internet' is, he says, the place he spends a lot of time both learning and developing his music. That signature sound has dovetailed with the work of labels like Monnom Black, Blue Hour and Planet X, where his productions have also taken on genres like trance and IDM. The benchmark for all his releases, sets, and (starting in 2023) live performances is a high-speed fluttering salvo of rhythms that penetrate and resist any type of conceptual reverse manufacture, but to Luca it matters little: ‘the impression and thoughts of the listener are the only concepts that are true’. It’s what people feel then, that puts him on the map. It’s dub techno but not as you know it, atmospheric pads deputise their role to hardheaded beats and the end product is no less hypnotic. For Bassiani Podcast 234 LDS riffs on relatively simple construction, daisy-chaining tracks faster than you can identify what trace of emotion they’ve left behind, and building a mood that’s rife with ideas and ready to dance. This is switched on techno for the internet generation, immersive beats in conversation with their author, a reworking of the old and the birth of something entirely new.

LDS (DJ-Set) for Tm8 @ FOLD, London (2.11.24)

For the May edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Nuir

Nuir is a self-taught producer and DJ based in Paris, known for her boundary-pushing approach to electronic music. Drawing inspiration from a rich electronic music culture that spans IDM, trance, techno, and the free party scene, Nuir has carved out a unique sonic identity.

She made her debut as a producer on Mama Told Ya and has since continued to push boundaries with her sound, releasing music on labels such as Maison Close, Ghetec, and, most recently, TM8.

Rooted in Parisian club culture and the French free party movement, Nuir has performed across numerous European cities, including Copenhagen, Bristol, and Yerevan.

Her music has received support from internationally recognized artists, including Mama Snake and Anetha, affirming her growing influence and fearless ability to merge hardware, software, vocals, and live instrumentation into a singular, evolving sound.

About the mix:
This one-hour mix embodies what I seek during this challenging time we are facing — a sonic space for both release and reflection. Deeply connected to the culture that has shaped my identity, I am now driven to contribute to this vision: music as a powerful political and emotional force, creating a space where everyone can freely express themselves.
I wanted the mix to reach both emotional depths and euphoric highs — blending deep introspection with high-energy club sounds. It's about connection through contrast, and the healing power of dance.

Enjoy!

NO BORDERS PODCAST 72 - JEANS

„Shiva-Meta (PSYTRANCE-MIX)” von AITechnoKüche ist ein tiefgehender, hypnotischer Psytrance-Mix, der spirituelle Klangwelten mit futuristischen Techno-Elementen verbindet. Pulsierende Basslines treffen auf mystische Mantra-Samples und organische Rhythmen, die sich zu einer tranceartigen Klangreise verweben – zwischen Meditation und Ekstase, zwischen uralter Energie und digitaler Meta-Ebene.

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.
