Rec 23 w/ Civic Instruction (live by Hadone & UFO95)

They are two musical identities that form a unique blend of techno's cutting-edge. Hodone's raw percussive flair and UFO95's grit were omnipresent earlier this month.

Under the new alias 'Civic Instruction' the pair holds tension like no other. June 1st was a testament to their evolving sound and approach to live sets as they seek to translate their performative chemistry into punching frequencies. An intense hour of subtle narration awaits as we're proud to host it as our twenty-third podcast series installment.

REC 25 w/ Nørbak

One of today's driving minds behind textural and barrier-breaking soundscapes, Nørbak fully delivered on that promise in April. Guiding us through layers of gritty textures, deep basslines, and unconventional rhythms, he masterfully creates a dynamic conversation between each element, maintaining control at every turn. The result keeps us on edge, making it a perfect addition to our recorded live at Fuse series.

GROOVE Podcast 446 – Setaoc Mass

Modern hypnotics from a new techno star.

It's a tale as old as time: techno DJ moves to Berlin to chase a dream. Philippa Pacho is part of the latest wave of talent to tread that familiar path. But don't let that fool you. She's one of the classiest artists around—no TikTok gimmicks here.

Pacho's formative years were spent in her native Stockholm, navigating a vibrant DIY party scene that included warehouse raves and illegal parties. She eventually took up a long-standing residency at beloved local club Under Bron and the experience, as she details in this week's Q&A, sharpened her technical skills, teaching her to handle every type of set—whether opening with patience, supporting a headliner or closing with finesse. She also played with countless touring DJs, from Answer Code Request to Antony Parasole, which ultimately inspired her move to Berlin.

That relocation has firmly paid off. It's a testament to Pacho's talent that you'll find her playing pretty much every big club and festival across Europe, from Berghain and Dekmantel to FOLD and Monument (we were exhausted just looking at her upcoming listings on RA). Other recent highlights include closing out Bassiani's tenth birthday, and back-to-backs with Fadi Mohem and Sandrien. 

Pacho's RA Podcast showcases her preference for classy, hypnotic techno, striking a balance between muscle and subtle groove. Her aptitude for what makes dance floors tick is also evident on her two labels—Phorum Records and positivesource (co-run with Blue Hour)—both of which mirror her DJ style, blending intensity with delicate textures. positivesource has released several standout records, including this year's "Psycho" by BLANKA and Phil Berg's "Psyckik" (which you'll hear on this mix). 

Spanning 70 minutes, RA.980 is a window into Pacho's thoroughly modern sound (the oldest track is from 2018). And yet it retains a refined, sweeping quality. Give it a spin and you'll soon twig why she's in demand on dance floors worldwide.

It's here, the set from one of the stars of our March edition: Lobster. He promised to go deep and so he did. In an unstoppable manner he was bringing the heat without hesitation. His closing set was definitely one for in the books. It's now up on our Soundcloud to relive those fire dance floor moments.
