For his next solo release as Tensal, Héctor Sandoval - known to many for his collaborative projects as Exium, Komatssu, and Selección Natural - debuts on BPitch with The New Land Order, a four-track package of intense, minimalist techno.

Functioning as an output for his solo work, Tensal is a project that amalgamates various references into an exploration of tension in electronic music. Built using a combination of strange harmonic dissonances and abstract rhythmic patterns, the tracks are designed to be layered over time to build a tautly wound intensity; DJ tools in the best sense of the word.

With a learned understanding of the ways in which atmospheric surroundings are built within electronic music, and the role that this plays within nightclubs and DJ sets, Tensal uses his solo alias to experiment with a powerful range of sonic structures. He expands:

‘The concept I was thinking about when I made the EP is the timelessness of my influences which are currently running away from mainstream "modern" Techno and are closer to the music I've played as a DJ since I started my career in 1992, things like Acid, EBM, Electro, Techno-Trance or the first Rave music.’

Opening the release is ‘Misandei’, a dose of industrial-leaning techno centred around a cyclical synth line that charges continuously as the drums move in different frameworks around it. Minimalist and expansive in equal measure, it encapsulates the juxtapositions that inform his sonic palette. Following closely behind is ‘Mors Tua’, a frenetic cut driven forward by a dissonant melodic line that teeters on the edge of losing control, just about staying on track. ‘Jugoplastika’ then steps straight into the main room with a frantic blend of surreal vocal loops and heavy distortions, whilst closing track ‘Kodex’ takes an unexpected turn into broken beat territory, driven by cavernous acoustics and euphoric bells.

The New Land Order finds Tensal in total control of his craft, carefully arranging layers of sound to create a powerful dose of tension on the dancefloor.

The label project Radial Records is from the now Barcelona-based, Dutch born, Jeroen Liebregts. Respected for his joint venture of Audio Assault with Bas Mooy, he has also released on Kr!z’s Token, Marcel Dettmann Records and Mord.

The latest EP Impermeable has arrived under his Finder alias and includes four original tracks that aren’t in his usual gritty techno style opting for some deep, analogue grooves with certain Detroit influences.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the track “Suzuki Expander” that is an analogue masterclass. Combining abstract sounding elements, its quirky, shuffling rhythms are relaxing and soulful and the melancholic synth notes are simply sensational.

To mark a century of podcasts we've released the recording from our night last month with Carmen Electro.

Carmen Electro’s approach to DJing describes her personality outside the booth too; keep it real, respect the legacy of the music you play, and always bring something new and unexpected to the table.  It's this mindset and life energy that best describes her selection in and outside of techno, which is her ultimate love story and motive for her club sets. A proud part of the worldwide underground techno scene, Carmen is an energetic force to be reckoned with.

Frenetik 101 is from Manchester based DJ, Ben Moulson aka April who has firmly rooted himself in the northern scene with his hyperactive crate digging habits and diversity in sound. Whether it the 10pm ambient hour, or the 6am sweat box his record bag will answer the call.

April’s flexibility behind the decks has comfortably positioned him on an array of lineups across the North of England + beyond. With appearances at firm favourites such as Meat Free, The Warehouse Project, Wire Presents, Foundry, Tiriba & more.

Outside of DJing, April co-pilots Chorus, a local party focussed on collaboration and ‘diversifying your sonic palate’. What started as a techno focussed party now acts as a petri-dish for experimentation that evolves in synergy with Aprils flavours. Adding to the output, April recently launched a vinyl only jungle night, with local selector Esmé, where their attention focuses on the more soulful side of the sound, championing legends of the scene alongside up and coming talent.

Kicking off 2025 for us is Switzerland and Berlin Resident, DJ Sun. With musician parents, the connection to music has always been present. His journey began when he discovered the world of illegals rave parties in 2015 where electronic music reigned supreme. Fascinated by their organization, DJ Sun quickly decided to venture into organizing his own illegals raves, which led to the founding of the OTIUM collective in 2018. Over time, he honed his DJ skills, specializing in old-school techno infused with influences from hip hop, jazz, and house.

Beyond his DJ performances, he has also delved into VJing projects, leveraging his videography skills. For the past four years, he has been creating his own compositions to add a more personal touch to his DJ sets. The creation of his own label, OTIUM Records, in collaboration with his best friend Rødig, has been one of the highlights of his artistic journey. DJ Sun’s universe stands out with a commitment to quality over quantity,
focusing on creating his first EP in 2024 that will reflect an authentic artistic approach. Looking ahead, DJ Sun’s project aims to create an A/V show entirely controlled by machines on stage. This complementary project is more festival-oriented, providing a more «touring» aspect compared to the clubbing/
rave element of a DJ set.
