100 DETECTs. 100 insights into artists we admire and respect. Each mix a different interpretation, a different exhibition, showcasing the multitude of talent across the planet currently. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this special series. 

For DETECT 100 we are releasing @dj-tool’s set, recorded live at last month’s FOLD Meets Fast Forward. An event that brought together a label we respect so much with our FOLD family whom we love so dearly. @ DJ TOOL stepped into our booth as midday loomed, and produced a vinyl-only masterclass, full to the brim of hard kicks, hypnotic textures and otherworldly, sonic energy. 

You can listen to DJ TOOL’s set now, released exclusively for DETECT 100, on our FOLD SoundCloud.

For Amsterdam DJ Afra, wax is the medium of choice. Her weekly routine will often entail casting her eponymous jewellery pieces (Afra Amba), with weekends spent spinning vinyls at Spielraum, Herrensauna, and Säule. Her start in music came early, listening to Miss Kittin, tweaking frequencies on her dad’s home-studio equipment and buying her first decks at 16, followed a brief two years later by her enthusiastic DJ debut. Citing a need to develop before starting to play, she focused on the former craft and came back to DJing once she’d found her voice. And found it she now has. With a soft-spot for noughties electro and the wobbling sounds of the Dutch West Coast, her gritty sets and output on co-run label Mindri are the stuff apocalyptic dreams are made of. This Bassiani Podcast instalment is sinister, rough and unflinching, Afra’s voice become automaton roar.

DJ Sodeyama’s been around since the 90s, a Tokyo-based whizz and DJ’s DJ, whose career has offered the type of sound many selectors would envy. It’s incredibly sharp, meandering along its intelligent thread in unexpected and high-minded ways. Since the early noughties he could add producer to his soubriquet too, flexing his minimal muscle with early releases, a steady stream of ensuing ventures further cementing his craft via Korean-based deep techno distributor Artscope, Dynamic Reflection, illegal alien, Daybreak and many more. He’s also explored adjacent genres and ventured into the world of house under his parallel alias The People In Fog. Pretty full plate, but the quality of his sound has suffered nothing for it. His techno is an expert tapestry of interlaced details and lingering moods, injected with raw feeling and undeniable skill. It darts from peak to peak, fusing frequencies riddled with forward-pitched elements and vivid effects, and forges a long-range feeling that abuts the realm of both man and machine. Thick and volatile techno that serves as proof that the genre can keep expanding outwards in fresh and surprising ways. Bassiani Podcast 260 moves the needle further, it's quintessential Sodeyama: vivid climbs and steep descents, warped vocal samples, brave and unbending beats for prime-time raving.

Tech House – often misunderstood and unfairly written off as commercial – takes centre stage in the upcoming Blitzcast by our good friend Sylwa, who has been influenced by its original, understated sound and approach, and now thrills with a soulful interpretation.

Blitzcast 028 comes courtesy of Sylwa – here’s what he has to share about the mix.

> This mix features tracks released exclusively between 1996 and 2005, with a strong leaning toward the sound pioneered by early UK tech house figures like Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, and the circle surrounding London’s Fabric club and Swag Records.
I aimed to create an obscure, moody atmosphere with long blends, moving through stripped-back, loop-heavy cuts, dubby stabs, and acid lines—gradually brightening into more melody-driven tracks toward the end. You’ll hear some crackles and slight mixing imperfections; I guess it's the unavoidable nature of mixing with vinyl. <

We also had time for a swift conversation with Sylwa about his background and musical approach - find out more in the Blitz Magazine on our homepage:
