Functional Disorder @ CLOSER 01.01.25 Masada

More than just MORD boss and a direct neighbour, both musically and geographically speaking, Bas Mooy is a longstanding friend to us, as well as a figure we truly look up to. Whether found pushing back the boundaries of the techno sound through his vanguard-minded imprint or teleporting dance floors to the 4th dimension with no turning back, Bas holds on to his quality-driven methods to deliver music and moments that transcend both time and space. Up with three hours of sprawling techno heat that runs the gamut from proper big-room artillery to abstract-leaning bravura, through strapping peak-time nemesis and dystopian raw power, here goes Mooy with the wildest instance of his 360 vision when it comes to blazing new paths and setting future directions for the genre. Weapon of mass instruction.

PARADOX PODCAST #186 -- KASHPITZKY

Welcome to another episode of the Gekiga podcast. 

For episode 07, we brought out one of our homies and fave comrades in the war of art, DJ, producer, and label head: Ramsey Neville.

With a consistent string of releases on a variety of labels such as Planet Rhythm, Cocoon recordings, Agape Records, and his own label Impulse Control, Ramsey’s production has been featured in sets all over the world, by underground DJs and big names alike. 

Aside from production, Ramsey is a highly skilled DJ, who, for years, has showcasing his energetic, hard hitting style to sold out crowds in the NYC and broader U.S. circuit, and has recently begun breaking ground in Europe and beyond. 

For Ramsey’s Gekiga mix, we challenged him to give us a different side of his aesthetic that has yet to be seen. We wanted to see Ramsey go raw, vicious, and sonically aggressive, and he did not disappoint! The end resulting mix, Gekiga Podcast episode 07, is a gritty mix full of attitude, and embodies a style and flavor that no one has heard Ramsey tackle before.

Shout out to Ramsey and Impulse Control for making this happen.

The Bells · Jeff Mills T.A.M.F. remix

Schranz and Its Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”

Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”: Jeff Mills’ The Bells (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002) isn’t pure Schranz but heavily influenced its development. Its raw, hypnotic loop and pounding 4/4 kick resonated with the harder, minimal techno sound that Schranz built upon. Here’s how it ties in:
* Influence on Schranz Producers: Mills’ use of repetitive, functional loops in The Bells inspired Schranz’s stripped-down aesthetic. Its 140 BPM tempo and relentless drive aligned with Schranz’s ethos, making it a proto-Schranz track for DJs like Liebing or Boris S.
* Club Play: The Bells was a staple in late ’90s hard techno sets, bridging Detroit techno’s soul with Schranz’s aggression. Its iconic bell riff added a melodic hook that Schranz often avoided but still absorbed as a reference for tension-building.
* Remixes and Legacy: Later Schranz DJs (e.g., Eric Sneo, DJ Amok) remixed or drew from The Bells’ energy. For example, the 2006 10th Anniversary The Bells 12” (PM-020) had a louder, Schranz-friendly master that fit harder sets.

Original Pressing Context: As mentioned earlier, The Bells appeared on the Kat Moda EP (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002, 12” vinyl). Its raw production—gritty kicks, unpolished mastering—mirrors Schranz’s unrefined edge. Schranz DJs likely gravitated to originals or early represses for their analog warmth, though the track’s quieter mix (compared to 2000s Schranz cuts) required DJs to crank the gain.

Where to Find Schranz-Inspired The Bells:
* Original 1997 Vinyl: Hunt on Discogs/Reverb for PM-002 ($20–$50). Check matrix: PM 002-A/B (RE I) NSC.
* Streaming: The 1997 version (on Spotify/Beatport) retains the raw vibe Schranz fans love.
* Modern Schranz Comps: Look for The Bells in hard techno mixes or CLR/Tresor compilations. Check X posts or SoundCloud for recent Schranz sets featuring it.

Schranz Today (Oct 2025): Schranz remains a niche but vibrant scene. Recent X posts highlight new releases on labels like Schranz Total or Hard Drive, with DJs like Fernanda Martins and Luciid pushing 150+ BPM bangers. The Bells still gets play in retro sets or as a remixed bootleg in Schranz raves.

Deep Dive: Schranz – The Hard Techno Beast 🦖
Since you’re doubling down on Schranz, let’s go full throttle. This is the raw, pounding heart of German hard techno—no fluff, just facts, history, essentials, and where to score it today (Oct 16, 2025). The Bells connection? It’s the proto-Schranz blueprint—hypnotic loops + brutal kick = Schranz DNA. Ready? Gas it up!

Schranz 101: What the Hell Is It?
* Born: Late 1990s, Frankfurt/Germany. Evolved from Jeff Mills/Rene Pawlowitz-style minimal techno into a weaponized sound.
* Tempo: 140–160+ BPM (faster = harder life).
* Sound: Distorted 909 kicks that hurt, razor-sharp hi-hats, zero melody (unless it’s a stab), industrial noise loops. Think: a jackhammer in a warehouse.
* Name Origin: Chris Liebing (2001) called it “Schranz” to mock haters saying hard techno was just “schrammel” (grating noise). DJs flipped it into pride.
* Ethos: Anti-EDM, sweat-soaked, 6AM warehouse raves. No peaks—just relentless drive.
