On today’s episode of the Gekiga podcast we’re thrilled to present a special mix by the Italian born, Venezuelan raised, Argentinian resident Michel Lauriola.

Working in a raw, aggressive, yet classically oriented style, Michel Lauriola is one the leaders of techno’s new school who’s paving the way for a new generation of artists who innovate and expand the genre’s possibilities, while maintaining firm roots in 90s era templates,.

As a DJ, Michel has played every notable venue in South America and Europe, including Tresor, Razzmatazz, Art of School, Utopia, Sala Loops, and many more. As a producer, he has been on an absolute tear, dropping ep after ep across every prestige labels worldwide. This list includes MORD, Kazerene, PoleGroup, Edit Select, Faut Section, Newrhythmic Records, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Planet Rhythm, and many more. His discography’s pedigree is hard to match, and his work stands tall as an important and uncompromising vision in a genre that is often derivative and uninspired.

I’m proud to call this talented artist a friend, a comrade in the struggle, and a true visionary of brutal expressionism.

We hope you enjoy this hourlong mix, full of relentless energy and thunderous face ripping power.  

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us and following along in our GKG journey. 

One love to all,
Besht1 & Michel Lauriola

Since 2017, the queer artist OCD has carved a unique space in the techno world, blending the genre's driving force with a deep sensitivity to mood and emotion. Her sound, characterized by its powerful rhythms and evocative melodies, resonates with dancers on a visceral level.

As a resident DJ at the renowned queer parties Gegen in Berlin and No Gender in Lyon, she champions inclusive and expressive spaces.

Her discography, which spans labels such as Noise Manifesto, Gegen, Voxnox, Boudica, Instruments of Discipline, and No Gender, showcases her evolving artistry. OCD's commitment to connection extends beyond the dancefloor; in 2024, she bravely shared her experience with cancer treatment, becoming an advocate for others. This personal journey has further enriched her music, adding depth and vulnerability. A highlight of her career includes her latest release on Paula Temple's Noise Manifesto, a landmark moment that coincided with the label's closure, adding a poignant layer to her artistic narrative. With performances at legendary clubs like Tresor, RSO, Khidi, and Kitkat and tours across Europe, induding Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Greece, and Georgia, OCD is a rising star in the global techno community.

Grace Dahl has emerged as one of the most exciting names in the circuit, with a flair for emotive, high energy techno. It combines emotional depth with an infectious high energy, creating a sound that resonates on both a personal and a collective level.

Born in Budapest, Hungary and spending her early childhood in Spain before eventually settling in Amsterdam, her upbringing was as colourful as it was diverse. With a Hungarian Father and Finnish Mother deeply immersed in the European rave scene of the 1990s, it seems that her path was almost predestined.

Grace’s career began at 18, cutting her teeth at clubs and venues around Amsterdam. She soon became a resident at the iconic Vault Sessions party series, solidifying her reputation as a rising star. Since then she has gone on to play some of the most revered venues and festivals around the world, including Berghain, Awakenings, Boiler Room and Stone Techno Festival.

As 2025 unfolds, Grace’s momentum shows no signs of slowing, reflecting her strong dedication to this craft and her incomparable experience. With a packed release schedule and performances at some of the globe’s most iconic venues, it’s clear her journey is just beginning.
