Spontaneous, innovative and limitless.

As a member of Freiburg’s Youth Life collective, @ikob_boj is showcasing his  versatility and mastery in blending Techno, House, and Electro.

His love for techno began in 2001 when, at just 12 years old, he discovered Monika Kruse’s mixtape from 1998. Around the same time, he attended an underground rave in a submarine tunnel in Montenegro, where Dave Clarke was performing. These early encounters with purist techno left a strong mark on his musical journey.

At 13, Ikob began collecting records, and within three years, he had nearly completed his collection. Today, his focus has shifted to his digital music library, which contains multiple thousands of carefully handpicked tracks.

This mix is a reflection of Ikob’s artistic vision, deeply influenced by the infinitely flowing, dark rhythms of techno. Enjoy the journey!

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.

For my first visit in San Francisco, I had the immense pleasure of playing at Endzeit party in collaboration with Club Moniker & hyper k in a new warehouse space, with an amazing sound system and a great vibe making it a memorable night.
Hope you enjoy it !

Born in northern Spain and now based in Berlin, Leiras is a DJ and producer who has spent the past decade shaping his sound across multiple aliases and imprints. As the founder of Ownlife, he’s built a platform dedicated to techno's mental and experimental edges, while also advocating likeminded artists through both new releases and reissues via his ‘SELD’ series.

A dedicated student of rhythm and sound design, Leiras brings a sharp sense of intention to everything he does—paying homage to the foundations of techno while always searching for new ground. His sound builds slowly, using looping patterns and subtle shifts to lock you in—less about big drops, more about staying in the zone.

#245 is a glimpse into his world—give it a listen.

Felt very inspired after hearing DVS1 play, so much so that I dove into the studio, straight from the club for an extended CDJ mixing session. Really got into the groove, and I remembered to press record after a few hours of playing! This one is all about layering, and heavily shaping the sound by EQing drastically and in a constant flow.
