This year the Sputnik stage hosts a start-to-finish takeover by the rascals at The Gun – formerly the dirtiest discopub in East London until its tragic closure in March this year: rest in sleaze! To honour its unholy spirit we decided to reach out to pub landlord and flame-keeper Nick Stephens to invite the Gun Club first team down to FM. Not only did they say yes, they fielded Vladimir Ivkovic and Lena Willikens, Tia Cousins, Daisy Moon and – it must be said – an undersung hero of London clubland: bloghouse original and techno survivor Casper Clark.

Nick and Casper will cut the ribbon on Sputnik with a two-hour B2B, which might sound a tiny bit like this warm-up session recorded on the first day of 2025. “Nick and I had the honour of opening up The Gun’s last and final New Year’s Day festivities,” recalls Casper, “before Dan Avery, Lukas Wigflex, Tia Cousins and Nathan Wilkins. Some lineup, that!

“In truth we were confronted by a biblical downpour and the slowest of starts, but if anything that emboldened us to dig a little deeper and play even more eclectically that we’d normally be inclined.” Ah, the E-word. A lot of DJs claim to be eclectic, don’t they? Usually playing a heady mix of techno, house, tech-house and everything in between. Not so with these two, as demonstrated on their finely crafted yet freeform, almost supernaturally guided mix, which wanders like a ghost from underwater dub through to ‘80s minimal wave, Muslimgauze and misty Balearica, before setting us afloat on gentle waves of drug-chug. No requests, please!

Tell the world a little bit about feelings. Minimal is better than noise🍃

do not f*** with me I'm past all this s*** now I don't have any money so don't try to make any off me.
Techno is a community. I grew up spinning vinyl records on belt-drive turntables and playing piano.  Music is a special language.  Why is everyone so full of anger and hatred?  Love is what binds us.
Let me take you to another place.
Close your eyes and come with me.
 
Someone tried to kill me yesterday   stabbed me and hit me over the head with a broom handle.  why?   why'd he fail?
