Deep Techno

Luigi Tozzi Vinyl Session February 2014

We're happy to be back with our mix series. This time we have a session by Parisian artist BLNDR (Hypnus Records) with a sophisticated and meticulous selection, immersing us in an hour of deep and tribal techno, which is his specialty. Tom is a close friend of the label who made an incredible remix of MB4, one of the tracks that are part of Seph's album entitled Ulizen.

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda, Ankali.

This spring, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
When Marie Pravda settles into a DJ booth she’s there to spark some chemistry with those willing to embrace it. While she is perfectly capable
of generating similar energy in her recordings for the online world, it’s the endless push & pull with the physical crowd that charges her selection and mixing. Developing into an avid digger during long shifts in gloomy basements and online, the Prague-based DJ and DIY promoter took the Czech scene by storm with her savage take on a growing range of club music – be it with selections from her trippy or dance folders.
In 2020 she joined the resident collective of Ankali & Planeta Za where she runs her regular Planeta Pravda club series. Marie has contributed episodes to numerous online radios and mix series for club or non-club outlets. She recorded mixes for Knekelhuis, hereandthere, Galactic Funk, and appeared on online broadcasts of NTS, Hör, Mutant, Kiosk, Operator and many more.
In 2021-2023 she was a member of the artist roster of Gravity Network, an international initiative for club cultureexchange in Europe and beyond.

Monochrome presents, 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖒𝖕𝖘 𝓥 : Marie Pravda.

This week we’re in the Bay Area, where Endzeit has quietly become one of the most thoughtful techno series on the West Coast. Over the past few years, they’ve brought in artists who feel closely aligned with our extended niche community, people who approach sound with care, intention, and a sense of forward movement. We’re glad to host Torsion, the founders of the Endzeit, whose "Delayed with..."  mix captures the clarity and pressure that runs through everything they do.

Torsion doesn’t move in straight lines. Their work circles, strains, folds in on itself, always dragging tension to the surface. Formerly known as Sentient, the duo has spent years refining a sound that resists resolution. Their recent track Misgivings, released on Semantica’s Petricor compilation, lands like a pressure system, low-end submerged just enough to make your footing uncertain. There’s no payoff, no center, just a dense psychoacoustic atmosphere that holds you in place and dares you to find shape in it.

Torsion's mix for Delayed stays on-brand in the best way: tight, physical, with a kind of controlled momentum that hits first in the chest, then catches up to your head. It opens with force, big room sound, no wasted space, but somewhere around the midpoint, the gears slip. Syncopation edges in, structure blurs. It’s not a derailment, more like a detour through darker, looser terrain. By the end, the groove snaps back, but the trip has already shifted. What starts as propulsion ends in something more hypnotic. It’s techno made with discipline and intent. No spectacle, no filler, just impact.

Delayed with... Torsion

Following https://soundcloud.com/mikkel-rev's debut album on the label in 2023, ‘The Art Of Levitation’, the Norwegian artist returns with Journey Beyond, a selection of tracks demonstrating his innate ability to conjure the most atmospheric trance music, irrespective of BPM.

Journey Beyond was created from an extensive set of tracks sent to the label that were initially sequenced as two shorter EPs. With the first offering a slower 80bpm trance style, and the second EP, a classic ~130bpm trance style. However, over time, with tracks swapping in and out, ASIP had the idea to create a mixed version, progressing through the tracks and increasing bpm's, showcasing Mikkel’s ability in bridging euphoric worlds - and a style that is often reserved for Mikkel’s live performances amongst the forest raves held as part of the Ute Collective in Norway.

Classic trance and the art of a DJ mix have been influential to ASIP since the label’s inception, making this release and the process of creating it a true reflection of how Mikkel and the label come together to define the end output.

Featuring artwork by Ventral Is Golden and mastered by James Bernard.

@hems 

The next Deep Mind Music comes from one of my dearest friends, and greatest inspirations - hems

hems and I have a special connection, we both love to adventure through musical lands strange and beguiling, evocative and unusual, and have spent many hours together digging through obscure backcatalogs or making our own noises experimenting with hems’ many synthesisers in his studio in London 🧡

hems plays music like no one else I know, he has a magic touch and deep sensitivity for representing all shades of human existence. From the sublime to the transcendent, the unsettling to the hilarious, hems’ sets takes listeners to the beyond and then further still.

I first invited hems to make a mix many years ago, so I am very happy to finally welcome an entry from him. This recording is the first 2.5 hours of an all-night 8 hour set hems played at an intimate private gathering in Mexico City in March of this year.

In this recording hems coaxes us to drift inwards, to enter into an unusual landscape, to open up to all the elements of sound, contrasting pre-Hispanic music with vintage synthesizer tracks and much more.  

Listening to hems’ sets over the years has expanded my mind towards new possibilities, his selections and genius touch for programming evoking many deep epiphanies and insights. This mix is brimming with vitality and life, I hope you enjoy this kaleidoscopic voyage into the mystical 🌿 ~

Alongside DJing, hems produces very deep and intricate experimental electronic music I highly recommend checking out, often utilitising spatial audio systems or even playing gongs live, and he also runs the amazing Titrate records with @o-utlier, as well as his own mix series @hardcore-chillout with @EightFoldWay

Black Wave 073: Glassz

This week's podcast is hosted by Deauwd, an Amsterdam based producer heavily influenced by the minimal side of techno, ambient and classical music. Deauwd has been playing piano and drums from since he was a kid. Intrigued by the Ostgut series and later on by the early Detroit minimal, he started making electronic music for himself. Recently moving towards bringing the old sounding techno back into todays music of which you can hear some stuff of his recent release on Float Records already. All in all, he's definitely someone to keep in sight and you can expect more from him in the future. Aside from his main alias, he's currently setting up an alternative more organic sounding project called "Earth to Space" which will see the light of day somewhere next year. 

The podcast he has put together for us is just over an hour of dashing raw / minimalistic techno, as well as being hugely organic and natural sounding. Absorbing into hypnosis. Enjoy!

Campfire Stories 26 (Evasion) by @hydrangeamusic

~ About The Story ~

I got caught in the stream.
The river that wont run dry.
From sunlight to moonbeam,
a constant cycle until we die.

No dodging,  no evasion, no escape.
The river will run with me.
From the source seed to deaths mouth,
it carries life into the dead sea.

But the sea never fills.
Some souls fly to heaven whilst the rest drown.
And as the souls congregate at the gates,
they'll step through to fall back down,
and do it all over again.

~ Chapters ~

This story was translated by an ancient scribe and is told in different ways ways depending on the culture. The chapters have been lost but the story remains intact. 

~ Notes ~

Campfire Stories is a mix series by friends of Silent Season. The focus of the series is on storytelling through deeper electronic music. Artists weave together narratives using the emotional characteristics of ambient and techno music.

Thanks to all the artists and labels whose sounds help tell the story.

Thank you for listening.

BLOCAUS PODCAST 40 | THE GODS PLANET

Next episode of our podcast series is currated by Hydrangea. She got our attention since her very beginings just few years ago. The music she creates doesn't rush on tempo, so she can carefully make a tour in between the flowing soundscapes and dreamy pads. Since her birth she always was tightly connected with nature, which is her inexhaustible source of inspiration. Even though it is not a long while since the day she started to put out material, she gained respect of numerous members of the ongoing scene of deep techno and relased music on labels such as Silent Season, Annulled or the most recent Natch Elements.
Roots of our friendship are bringing us back to the year 2017, when she performed together with Milena Kriegs (Milena Glowacka) and Inner Shapes on party organized by our collective.
