HÖR BERLIN LIVE SET - INLIMEN

We're back with our #55 Episode of our Schimmer podcast series with Zürich based DJ and producer Jacom.

Born and raised in Southern Italy, Jacom is an emerging techno DJ and producer based in Zurich. In 2006, he fully dedicated himself to electronic music, which quickly brought him behind the decks. When he moved to Zurich in 2012, his career took an exponential upswing.

In 2016, the talented Italian became a member of the renowned label Adroit and has been an integral part of the collective ever since.

In addition to numerous performances in Italy — e.g. Amnesia (Milano), Azimut (Torino), Cosmic Festival (Firenze) — and throughout Switzerland, Jacom has also demonstrated his skills in other European countries. Berlin is also one of his achievements, where he played in well-known venues such as Anomalie, Renate, Else, Æden, or About Blank.

Jacom is characterized by his groovy and hypnotic sets, which is also reflected in his productions. In the summer of 2023, Jacom undertook a completely new project by founding his own label Reverse, to expand and deepen the techno world in all of its shades. The start of Reverse has already been a huge success, thanks to the creation of a various artists compilation — widely supported from all over the globe.

Schimmer Podcast #055 with Jacom

Hailing from Potsdam, Germany, we welcome Rill for Podcast #247. The DJ/producer is co-head of the Berlin-based techno label MITSU2000 and @syntop_kollektiv .

With a sound deeply rooted in early 2010s techno, Rill has quickly become a standout figure thanks to his sharp track selection and highly praised productions. With a recent feature on Rødhåd’s fabric mix and a strong discography of his own, he’s shaped a distinct style of brain-melting machine wares paired with precise use of synths and FX. Proper timeless, functional techno that just works.

On #247, he nods to the stripped-back, raw energy of the early 2010s. A delicate balance between synthetic textures and mechanical drive.

Tune in and zone out.

Vault Sessions #247 - Rill

Franco Biglieri returns to Warm Up after his Black Tourmaline EP from 2022. This time he serves us eleven cuts digging deep into profound techno realms. The sonic voyage starts with Reflexión, a slow paced, heavy reverberated exercise ideal for setting the atmosphere in a proper club environment.

Voces means a transition to sci fi territories, more alien, a little bit faster than the previous cut and surrounded by shuffled rhythm elements and textures.Things get busier on Falla Gravitacional, again exploring into outer space, pushing the intensity further, adding distortion to the groove and deepness to the atmospheres, blending the physical and the mental into one entity.

El Títere is a radical twist in style, the main sequence goes crazy from the first bar, reverberation is boosted and the beat is submerged into the abyss. Paralizado explores gummy and elastic textures, increasing the hypnosis and releasing the pressure from the previous cut. Profound and diffused but still aimed at the peak time hours in the dancefloor.

Encarnación Interna follows, keeping the reverb wash as an integral element, adding obsessive sequences and precise percussive work to create a feeling of travelling through a black hole somewhere in space. Espíritu Danzante preserves the same approach, as a logical sequel of its predecessor giving way to an alternative version of El Títere.

El Ojo de la Tormenta keeps the pressure alive, with a relentless asymmetrical sequence as the main motif, twisted and mangled wisely over a complex rhythm programming.

El Presagio is probably the most aggressive slice of the sonic voyage, fast tempo, drilling synth riffs and again lots of reverberations and texture all mashed into a well done arrangement,

Finally, Surface Culture slows down the machinery, providing the perfect construction tool using well crafted dub chords and liquid atmospheres. 

Tracklist:

01. Reflexión
02. Voces
03. Falla gravitacional
04. El títere
05. Paralizado
06. Encarnación interna
07. Espiritu danzante
08. El títere (Original)
09. El ojo de la tormenta
10. El presagio
11. Surface culture

TF #203: @alpha-tracks-official [@bluehour909] - Vienna

Felix Benedikt, alias Alpha Tracks, is a Techno producer and DJ based in Vienna, Austria. His mature sound has often had him mistaken as a veteran producer. In fact, Benedikt is actually a talented young artist with a wealth of music already under his belt. The first release on the reactivated label Morbid had strong international resonance and Alpha Tracks has continued with highly acclaimed records like Blue Hour since.

The music of Alpha Tracks is mainly produced live on analogue machines with different guest musicians, focussing less on technical fetishism than on the live dynamics of studio collaborations. The result is a sound that refers to the Rave era of the early nineties. Alpha Tracks blithely ignores tempo limits or taste doctrines. Aesthetic taboos or even fragments of often maligned genres, are not treated as a retro fetish, but are folded into the contemporary oevre with playful Viennese charm.
