Reclaim Your City 524 | Kr!z (Ghent, Belgium)

Hold your breath and be ready to get pinned down to your seat, it’s Token head-honcho Kr!z taking over the reins of our beloved podcast series. Master of clinical grooves from the deep, the Belgian DJ and producer has us swinging to his ever impeccably thought-out and inch-perfectly executed sets, transcending his relatively minimal sound palette to further mind-expanding effect. Unsurprisingly, his RYC incursion lives up to the deserved hype and regal acclaim Kr!z has been getting over the years, as he beams us up to another dimension where the laws of gravity do not apply and strands of energy vibrate with an all-the-more explosive vim. Log in to Kr!z’ fiery mindset, buckle your belt and brace for impact.

Reclaim Your City 524 | Kr!z

@norman-nodge occupies a special place in Berlin techno with a sound that is at once forceful, dubby and hypnotic. These days a lawyer by trade, Nodge spent the 90s as a DJ and promoter before becoming a Berghain resident in 2005. Born in East German Leipzig, raised in Brandenburg, Norman got bitten by the techno bug after the wall came down. In 1994 he started to promote several events and launched his career as a DJ. At these parties, he got to know Marcel Fengler and Marcel Dettmann and literally became their mentor for all things techno.

Marcel Dettmann eventually pitched him to Berghain’s management and he returned to DJing and became a resident instantaneously. Since then, he plays Berghain once a month, specialising in the almost forgotten art of warming up at the beginning of a night. In 2005 he also started to produce his own tracks. His maturity proved to be very beneficial in terms of his artistic vision, as he made up his mind about what he likes and what not a long time ago already. Unsurprisingly, his outings on Dettmann’s MDR label, as well as his track “Native Rhythm Electric” for Ostgut Ton left a deep impression with headstrong techno lovers. With his dusty funk, static hiss and the rich thump of his kick drums, he managed to get himself recognised as one of techno’s more unique auteurs.

Norman Nodge cites Detroit techno (Jeff Mills, Rob Hood, 430 West), Chicago House (Relief, Dance Mania) and Techno (Luke Slater, Peacefrog, Mark Broom) as his most essential influences. Hence, it is not surprising that he fuses the old with the new and the soft with the tough when he plays out. “It is my goal as a DJ to make people dance without walking on trodden paths of recent trends. I want to sensitize dancers for unusual sounds, old and new.”

Tracklist:
1) EQD - EQD10 A (EQD)
2) Franz Jäger - Joga Bonito (Malör Records)
3) Pangea - Still Flowing Water (Hessle Audio)
4) Detect Audio - Run Like Hell (Nowhere)

6) Kaiser - Escaping Scepticism (Seks Tapes)
7) A Thousand Details - Believe In Mass Media (Knotweed Records)
8) Sedvs - Primal Fear (Bare Hands)
9) Kr!z - Nautilus (Token)
10) Oscar Mulero - Noches De Menta (Pole Group)
11) Desroi - If Your Teeth Fall Out You Can Have Mine (Desroi)
12) Confluencia - Perplejo (MORD)
13) Oxygeno - Thirty Against One (Lost Verses)
14) Dimi Angelis - Warp Drive (Angls)
15) Roseen - Torn Apart (Ausgang)
16) Curious Kees - NL-D1U-22-01004 (Tar Hallow)
17) Knox & Hawkins - This Is The Underground (Repetitive Rhythm Research)
18) R.M.K. - Connect (Nechto)

GENAU #092 - NORMAN NODGE (Ostgut Ton - Berghain / DE) || 16.02.23

In the early 90s, techno hits Japan. Surprised and intrigued, Takaaki Itoh was impressed with this sound. This unique style of beats revealed the gateway to a world of underground music in Japan, something he had never heard before.
Surprise slowly gave way to addiction when Takaaki Itoh heard the sound of such artists like UR, Derrick May, Axis, Hardfloor, Sven Väth, Harthouse, Warp and Rising High. 
Finding out he just couldn't get enough of it, in 1994 Takaaki Itoh began to organise his own techno parties in Norioka Iwate, having success by providing fantastic line ups.

In 1996, he decided that it was time to start making his own tracks, so he went out, purchased the vital instruments and began producing. 
After sending out 3 finished tracks to various labels, Electracom UK made the first contact with him, and followed to release his first track. This moment was something he will never forget, as for the first time in his life he was able to finally release his own record. 
Then several releases followed and he began to appear in DJ charts and magazines all over the world.

Takaaki Itoh's Japanese style of techno is purely unique, underground and nothing that had been heard before in Europe. 
In a couple of years, he became recognized as the most underground and expected japanese Techno DJ.
Takaaki Itoh has now taken the next step and started his own label Wols, whilst keep playing in great venues wolrdwide.

Vault Sessions #133 - D-Leria

Over the years, @quelza has made a name for himself, releasing music on labels like Mord, Palinoia, 47 and Hayes Collective, each pushing an unorthodox crystal clarity and cinematic sound design that has become his signature as an artist. Championing layered techno wares laced with a breaksy, IDM-informed touch that packs a punch, the Frenchman keeps on carving out a truly distinctive, shape-shifting universe, switching scopes and angles as he ups the rhythmic pressure.

This maturity is also reflected in his sets, and this podcast is a clear testament of that. He says "I wanted this podcast to be a slow, burning progression of weirdness and solar intensity, gradually building tension not in the speed of the piece but rather in the textural aspect. This is usually how I like to start my sets: by letting the track breathe and evolve before releasing the intensity once the audience and I are acclimatised to the aesthetics and dynamics of the track selection and the venue.”

Close your eyes and enjoy.

Setaoc Mass is the Manchester raised/Berlin based moniker behind SK_Eleven and a techno behemoth with the Midas touch. His golden sound is on just about every dancefloor you’d want to visit: thundering 4/4 beasts skilfully interwoven with gauze-like details provided by his earliest passion for Warp-era electronics. This gritty blend of driving techno and cerebral IDM is one that’s high on horsepower: dry, pummelling basslines, intricately layered hi-hats and sparse but gliding notes that add a softer touch. Unsurprisingly, this Setaoc sound has found a legion of loyal fans as well as fellow collaborators with a similar vision, names like Matrixxman and recent podcast guest Yant with which to bat ideas and release some straight-up bangers. For the purists though, Bassiani Podcast 165’s all Sam Coates: this one’s an hour long studio mix packed with fearsome, erratic beats, chopped-up vocals, frenzied loops and adrenaline-fuelled calculations to get those warehouse walls trembling.
