Mutant Radio contributor and Bassiani resident Zesknel’s captivating blend of genres has previously guested the main show with its bracing shade of full-force techno. For the second Zenaari Podcast instalment (a newly launched auxiliary to the club’s nascent experimental event series), Zurab channels a different persona: a slower, more introspective and maverick soul. This breed of electronic music is a deliberate attempt to challenge musical preconceptions and pioneer a course that employs pure noise and texture to carve out a space in the less-explored realms of this musical niche. Insightful and dreamy, Zesknel’s neoteric ruminations are kindling for unorthodox modes of expression. This is mind-engaging stuff, a rippling wall of sound jutting out of the void, a black amorphous mass from which the new is made. There’s really no map here, but that’s just why, this avant-garde Georgian is now hard at work drawing one.

The Berghain resident talks about re-queering the goth scene, exploring a lighter side of his sound and preparing for marathon closing sets.

Hayden Payne, AKA Phase Fatale, grew up fully immersed in the world of music; his dad is a recording engineer and musician, as are many members of his family. After joining post-punk outfits like Dream Affair and consuming a diet of new wave and synth from parties like Wierd in New York, Payne eventually relocated to Berlin, where he saw possibilities emerge around ways of fusing guitar music with sounds for the dance floor. It was only shortly after relocating that he landed a residency at Berghain and began releasing his own productions as a techno artist, becoming known for darker-edged sets and productions that fuse industrial, EBM and techno.

In this episode of the RA Exchange, he talks to senior producer Chloe Lula about all of this and more, like "re-queering" the goth scene; exploring a lighter side of his sound with his Italo duo, Soft Crash; his label, BITE Records; and sustaining strong ties to dance floors in Kyiv and Tbilisi, two cities that he reflects as being refreshingly socially and politically motivated for queer artists living in the margins. His new EP as Soft Crash, NRG, is out now. Listen to the episode in full.

TILT.cast # 19 is provided by no other than our core member N.R.M (@n0rem)

Next to being one of TILT’s integral resident DJ’s he also curates our line ups & mix series with great care and dedication.

The selection of N.R.M aims for dancefloor momentum: Mixing contemporary, highly complex techno while also referring to the 90s origins of the genre, he centers his sound around seductively percussive, irresistibly driving music. His approach is to let go of genre restrictions and let circumstance inform your choices – a continuous conversation between crowd and selector.

Recorded live at OPAN floor during our TILT label showcase for RSO.berlin W2W festival saturday night 2-4am.

Techno Cartel

Kaan Pirecioglu X Techno Cartel [150]

French-born and now Berlin-based artist Gannein has risen to prominence within the new guard of techno, captivating audiences with a sound that is both elegantly refined and viscerally immersive. Each performance transcends the fleeting, leaving a distinct and memorable mark. Gannein's innovative soundscapes redefine the genre's boundaries, a testament to the raw energy that courses beneath the surface. The music is a controlled descent into primal chaos, culminating in moments of transcendent release. It's a meticulously woven tapestry of sound, where introspective exploration leads to rhythmic catharsis, igniting a fire within the soul.

We're back with our second podcast! Proud to present HAMY coming in hot with these beats - truly electrifying. Recorded live at our last party in December. Buckle up bitches!

M.Á.S Podcast 002: HAMY

Mit unserer New-In-Rubrik besprechen wir regelmäßig wichtige und spannende Electronic-Releases aus Leipzig. Ab sofort könnt ihr uns dabei auch zuhören – wir starten ein Radio-Format. Wer frohfroh schon etwas länger verfolgt, wird wissen, das "New In" mittlerweile unsere zentrale Rubrik ist, um neue elektronische Musik aus Leipzig kennenzulernen. Aktuell teile ich mich mit David und Nils in die Auswahl und die Texte rein. Anschließend hört sich jeder durch seine Auswahl und bespricht sie.

Wir hatten aber auch große Lust, gemeinsam über ausgewählte Releases zu sprechen. Und here we go: Unsere Pilotfolge ist fertig und kann direkt hier gehört werden. Wir wollen kompakt in einer Stunde einen Überblick zu aktuellen Leipzig-Releasess bieten, bei dem wir gemeinsam unsere Gedanken und Eindrücke äußern und ihr einzelne Tracks auch direkt hören können. Klassisches Musikradio, nichts Neues, aber etwas, das uns noch immer abholt, weil es Empfehlungen und Neuentdeckungen abseits von Algorithmen ermöglicht.

Jede Ausgabe vom New In Radio teilt sich in zwei Teile: Es geht los mit einem Free Dive, bei dem wir in kurzer Folge mehrere Releases vorstellen. Später folgt ein Deep Dive, in dem wir einem Release etwas intensiver widmen – mit mehr Wortanteil und mehreren Tracks. Und am Ende gibt es noch eine Überraschungsrubrik, die wir jetzt aber noch nicht verraten. Hört einfach rein.

Bei der Pilotfolge haben wir die Stunde schon mal um 17 Minuten gerissen, aber wir sind dran! Hier ist die Tracklist:

1. Iglo – “Neverplace” (@iglomusic / @figure-official)
2. Sonnenstadt – “Marmara Station” (@sonnenstadt)
3. DJ Balduin - “Andever” (@dj-balduin / @small-steps-722755701)
4. Elme – “Dyn” (@elme_music / @teleskopstudio
5. Carlotta Jacobi – ”Between Two Stools” (@carlotta-jacobi / @maniac_org)
6. Notsch – “197” (@notsch1)
7. Iglo – “Recovery” (@iglomusic / @figure-official)
8. Iglo  – “Introsprection” (@iglomusic / @figure-official)
9. Iglo – “Dispersity” (@iglomusic / @figure-official)
