VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

For our 20th edition we were able to bring you an artist who’s really been making huge moves in the scene both on his own and with the incredible HAYES Collective from Portugal. Temudo actually started out in drum n bass which explains certain choices of aesthetic in his techno.

Having studied music and being a mixing and mastering engineer himself, Temudo blends the musical and technical approaches in order to control powerful sound designs often through controlled saturation. Sequenced textures give a lot of groove to his pacey tracks and it’s for this reason he’s been able to score a lot of very interesting record deals with some of the scene’s most sought-after labels. Klockworks, Soma, and MORD have all had the chance to work with him and that’s only this year.

VOLTAGE Podcast 20 - Temudo

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from AISHA. The Glasgow based DJ and producer has been one of the brightest talents coming out of Scotland and she quickly made a name of herself with super nice high energy, trance infused productions. We've been enjoying her EP on Drec a lot as of late and she also a resident at Animal Farm Glasgow. Today she delivers a scorching mix of her deadly dance floor decimating sound.

New Brvtalism No. 309 - AISHA

SPFDJ’s fleet movement behind the decks could have you wondering whether she’s the DJ or a dancer in the crowd. Her impressive bouts of energy and hell-bent focus matched by an instantly recognisable Techno: the seductive thud of a kick drum endlessly inciting clubbers to move. For Bassiani Podcast 109, the Intrepid Skin founder invokes both forest rave and brutalist panorama with a full-throttle hour of snaking and implacable beats. It’s Lina Jonsson’s rave, we’re just dancing in it.

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: BitterCaress

For several years now, BitterCaress has been pursuing her own musical path. Coming from a classical music background and after studying the piano at the conservatory for several years in Paris, she discovered techno in Montreal when she moved there in 2014.

Professional raver and techno events organizer for a while, she had the chance to broaden her musical culture before going behind the decks at the end of 2018.

Her sharp selection reveals a marked taste for heavy bass and uncompromising beats. Her style is best described as ravy and highly energetic as she draws her inspiration from old school techno, mixing ravy and trancy atmospheres with raw and industrial energies. The artist gets highly creative behind the decks with her openness to other genres and her appetite for risks when comes the time to play unexpected guilty pleasures. BitterCaress definitely knows how to make people dance and will slay any dancefloors.

Her journey has just started but she is already well-established in the Montreal local scene with several gigs under her belt notably at Stereo Nightclub or at Piknic Electronik and her residency at one of the scene’s most hyped collective, OCTOV. Playing alongside Jacidorex or Nur Jaber, among talented others, has definitely put her on the techno map. At the end of 2021, she has also begun to make some waves internationally with several podcasts for many renowned SoundCloud channels such as Possession, The Brvtalist or Instruments of Discipline.

BitterCaress also curates the Mixing for a Cause podcast series where she gives the floor to some local and international artists to raise awareness about causes that are meaningful to them.

In the same spirit, since the end of 2020, she is now managing her brand-new solo project called MFC Records. A label established as a way to support newcomers, fresh talents and already established artists from all over the world who would like to support a cause. All proceeds from the releases are going to carefully chosen non-for-profit organizations.

Through this series and that label, she hopes to build awareness and a better future world.

Enjoy!

A professional raver and events' organizer, she had the chance to broaden her musical horizons before stepping  behind the decks at the end of 2018. 

Her sharp selection reveals a marked taste for heavy bass and uncompromising beats. Mixing trancy  atmospheres with raw energies, her style is best described as groovy and energetic. The artist gets highly creative  behind the decks with her openness to other genres and her appetite for risks when it comes to playing  unexpected guilty pleasures.

She is already well-established in the Montreal local scene with many gigs under her belt, notably at Stereo  Nightclub, the Society of Arts and Technology [SAT], Piknic Electronik, or for the OCTOV and Exposé Noir  collectives. Having shared stages with Anetha, Nur Jaber, François X, Mac Declos, Parallx, Julian Muller, Laure  Croft, or DINA among others, she has carved out her place in the contemporary techno landscape. 

Since the end of 2021, she has also begun to make waves internationally with several podcasts recorded for  renowned SoundCloud channels such as The Brvtalist, RAW, Fast Forward Productions, SUBSTANTIV, or  Groove Magazin. Continuing this momentum, at the end of summer 2022, the artist made her European debut,  playing in Paris, Lyon, Madrid, Berlin, Copenhagen, and London. During the summer of 2023, she embarked on  a new European tour and expanded it to Vienna and Prague. In late 2023, she debuted for Boiler Room in  Montreal. 
She is currently preparing a new European tour scheduled for autumn 2024. 
Simultaneously, since her debut and until the beginning of 2023, BitterCaress has been curating the Mixing for a  Cause podcast series where she gives the floor to local and international artists to raise awareness about causes  that are meaningful to them. In the same spirit, since the end of 2020, she is now managing her own project called  MFC Records, a label and event series initiated as a way to support newcomers, fresh talents, and established  artists from all over the world who would like to support a cause. All proceeds from the releases and parties go to  carefully chosen non-profit organizations.

A testament to her Swedish origins, now flourishing in the vibrant techno scene of Vienna, and currently a resident at filtr in Brno.

The April edition of the Audio Series is here, happy to present you with: Monster

With over a decade of experience under her belt, Monster is now rightfully taking her place among Europe's best DJs. Showcasing her omnivorous taste for euphoric and fun music, Monster can be heard playing techno, house, electro, acid, old-school trance, breaks, and everything in between, usually championing producers from her local Polish scene.

Her career started in the late 00’s at Rozbrat, an anarchist squat and social centre in Poznań, Poland. That's where she started throwing Squat The Electricity nights, working tightly with the local scene, popularising electronic music among activists and activism among electronic music fans. Today, she's a member of Oramics, a Polish platform supporting women, non-binary and queer people in electronic music. Their actions came to worldwide attention thanks to the Total Solidarity compilation.

About the mix:
"The mix showcases some of the fast and modern, mostly 4x4 tracks that I've been enjoying recently as well as some broken beat intermissions. It's perfect for the ending of Venus and Mercury retrogrades that we can now all recover from."

Enjoy!

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.

The first edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series for this decade, we present to you a special collaborative effort between Viscerale and Adam Askov of Funeral Future, they named the mix "Life is not a Beach". It came about as the result of a close friendship that was formed a year ago.
The tracks featured in the mix were all fixtures at the local club Tuben back in the early ‘00s and have been superbly mixed by Viscerale. It’s a rare glimpse into a sound that preceded our own contributions to the Copenhagen techno.
