Strange Sunset at the Belvedere

NEXUS 012
Mixed By.... CLARENCE RISE @clarencerise

"We've already read that his music is dark and cold. It's also beautiful and
subtle.” 

Over the years, French producer Clarence Rise has developed a
strong, intense and singular musical identity, where incisive techno
blends with chilling atmospheres. With his emphasis on complex
rhythms, dark, sharp sound design and contemplative melancholy, he is
a guardian of a hypnotic aesthetic as raw as sophisticated. Author of
numerous releases on various labels (QEONE, Cellar Door, Indefinite
Pitch, Khoros Records, Fur:ther Sessions....) and having played with some
of the greatest (Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Kangding Ray, DJ Nobu, Answer
Code Request, Blawan...), this DJ and Live artist makes every
performance a journey, as percussive as it is transcendent.

fr. JPLA caught our ears through her meticulously arranged sets and we’re happy to have her for the latest edition of the series.

Partly shaped by a decade-long residency for Institut für Zukunft, all experience that comes with the feat has now manifested into appearing all around Berlin & beyond. In her mix for Forsvarlig she shares her deep affinity for the trippy and energising sounds we all admire dearly.

Enjoy these 63 minutes of bliss.

For our twenty third installment we've invited August, an upcoming DJ and dancefloor regular based in Amsterdam.

August loves to explores the deeper, more experimental and organic side of techno. His sets blend intricate soundscapes, broken rhythms, and dark ambient influences, creating deep, immersive experiences that transport listeners to otherworldly realms.

Beyond conventional techno, August delves into ambient, downtempo, halftime, and IDM, crafting dynamic sets that keep audiences captivated. His performances balance the experimental with the danceable, each one a carefully curated journey and story waiting to be told.

Some words by Bart about his mix:
I wanted to create a mix that captures the essence of the dancefloor, focusing on storytelling, deep kicks, and impressive soundscapes. These elements are what I value most in a set.

In the past, I struggled to capture the vibrant energy of a club while working from home or in the studio. This time, I decided to limit myself to just two attempts at recording, which allowed me to focus on the creative process rather than getting caught up in perfectionism. This approach worked really well, and I had a great time recording. I'm excited to share the final result—it's a club-focused mix with tracks from all my favorite producers."

For this week's edition we are happy to feature Astrover, Ben Parkin, hailing from London. Astrover is an up-and-coming artist who yields the skill to present a variety of intricate sounds and sequences. Despite his young age of 20 years, he pushes a deft touch of rhythms and has already released two solid tracks to date.

Originally from Manchester, he immersed himself in different musical facets and sets out with intent to demonstrate this through his works. In this mix, hypnotic textures are mixed with dazzling, resonant pulses. A piece of fine art with blissful, atmospheric techno. Enjoy.

Please welcome @kontinum and 71st entry to the series. Intelligent, deep, and atmospheric techno mixed into an hour long journey. Have a listen!

Jonas aka Kontinum, who grew up in the far north of Germany, moved to Leipzig after 20 years of wind and rain. There he was quickly inspired by the prevailing sounds of the @institut-fuer-zukunft and finally started the Kontinum project in 2016 with a focus on atmospheric and dissociative Techno. Over the years, the palette of sounds grew and now ranges from ambient to deep techno to contemporary club-oriented techno. 
In 2017, he founded the @nebulakollektiv with a couple of friends and started hosting the first illegal events. In the course of time, Nebula has also found its way into the Leipzig club scene and is now an integral part of it.
2022 up to 2024 he held a residency at Institut fuer Zukunft and he still co-host of the infamous Aequalis events after the closure of IFZ.
Over the years, Jonas has continued to develop and perfect his own sound pivoting from
conventional techno towards more genre-fluid styles.

Wir freuen uns, euch mit dem neuen quartal eines unserer neuesten Mitglieder vorstellen zu dürfen:

Balanca !

"Balanca" ist ein Berliner DJ, Produzent und Co-Founder von The Voice Inside. Inspiriert vom Loop-Techno der 2000er Jahre begann er seine musikalische Reise mit Vinyl, bevor er sich im Zuge der Digitalisierung zunächst CDs und schließlich dem digitalen Auflegen widmete.

Sein Sound war schon immer eher deep und hat sich über die Jahre hin zu hypnotischem Techno entwickelt. Dies führte 2022 zur Entstehung seines Alias "Balanca".
Kurz darauf kreuzten sich seine Wege mit dem Kollektiv hinter quartal., sie waren der Überzeugung daß er fester Bestandteil dieses musikalischen Kreises sein sollte.
Nun können wir ihn herzlich willkommen heißen in unserer kleinen Familie.

We are delighted to introduce one of our newest members with the new quartal. :

Balanca!

"Balanca" is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and co-founder of The Voice Inside. Inspired by the loop-techno of the 2000s, he began his musical journey with vinyl before transitioning to CDs and eventually embracing digital DJing as technology evolved.

His sound always rather deep and has developed over the years into hypnotic techno. This evolution led to the creation of his alias "Balanca" in 2022.

Shortly thereafter, his path crossed with the collective behind quartal., who strongly believed that he should be an integral part of this musical circle.

Now, we are thrilled to officially welcome him into our small family!
