FWP 078 | Decka

A vinyl enthusiast, Decka's style of mixing is energetic and fast paced, yet tight and precise. He built up his reputation as a producer, first making noise in 2015 on Darwin’s Berlin label SPE:C. Since then, he has enhanced his stature within the scene via his own label: Unterwegs Records.

Decka makes music that journeys through bare-bones techno, crafting hypnotic polyrhythmic patterns that look both to a tough, hypnotic sound and a sub-low pressure rooted in his home city, Bristol. Decka’s Unterwegs imprint that he runs with The Lady Machine translates to ‘on the move’ correlating with the label's vision to expand upon the idea that music is forever changing and evolving into new territories.

FWP 079 | Border One

Hailing from Brussels in Belgium, Steven Petit’s Border One project has amassed an irrefutable reputation in his home country and beyond since the release of his first 12-inch record in 2015. Between a fascination for sound discovery through the use of his modular synthesizer and his loyalty to the classic club rhythms, Border One’s style serves as a swiss-army knife for promoters and DJ’s on an international level.

A stylistic sophistication which is undoubtedly the result of an eclectic musical taste from an early age, Border One pulls just as much inspiration from classic jazz records as he does from experimental electronic music. Having started to DJ at an early age, Border One has been spinning records for a long time that aren’t limited to techno and house. A DJ first, he started producing at the age of 18 and expanded his collection of gear and knowledge of music production with time, which fueled his increasing passion for sound exploration. These two sides have been seen to come together in the form of an intriguing minimal live set composed of his Eurorack synthesizer, a sequencer, and a drum machine.

With a self description expressing a priority to make the crowd move, his music does not fall short of its intention. Forward thinking in its conception rendered highly functional in its implementation, Border One’s music finds middle ground in an increasingly polarized musical climate for the genre; whether it be through his selection as a DJ or his technicality as a producer. Considering this, his release catalogue seems only appropriate. He has released EP’s on Knowledge Imprint, Setaoc Mass’ SK-X, his own Border One Records, Freddy K’s KEY vinyl imprint, and the infamous Token Record to name a few. He also has a close relationship with VOLTAGE Festival in Belgium, at which he has played on multiple occasions, having also released a few times on their imprint. Having played gigs in Cape Town, Malta, and London to name a few, Border One is also an unsurprisingly familiar face in Berlin having played Tresor, Arena, and Griessmuehle.

A local hero in his own right, Border One is a quality-guaranteed act that brings casual party goers and techno purists to an unhesitant agreement.

FWP 080 | 2ché

Upcoming Newcastle based talent, 2ché, has spent the last months working to hone his craft and skills as a DJ to a level which he feels satisfied to share to the world.  In his own words, "The first hour of the mix explores techno grooves hopping between the old and new school UK sound, whilst the last 43 cuts between with sharp rave stabs and breakbeat, softened by a euphoric climax." 

2ché is no stranger to the scene having last year since closed for JWAX at the Invisible Wind Factory for Bus Lane Events and having appeared on a selection of local line-ups since. 2ché is certainly hungry to continue to master his craft and hopes to continue to appear on line-ups over the course of the next year.
