We're elated to introduce our very special guest for the SPANDAU20 mixtape: @Efdemin 📼. A true legend in the electronic music scene, Efdemin embarked on his musical journey with his debut release in 2004, followed by his first album in 2006. Based in Berlin, he's not only a resident at the iconic Berghain club but also the curator of his vinyl-only label, naïf. His music is an embodiment of serenity and sophistication, characterized by an elegant darkness, subtle beauty, and a sense of unwavering composure. Efdemin's impressive discography spans LPs and 12-inch records on renowned labels like Dial, Curle, and Ostgut Ton. His versatility extends to remixes, including a memorable one for Depeche Mode, as well as his collaborative project Pigon with RNDM, and his exploration of drone and ambient soundscapes under his original name, Phillip Sollmann. 🎧

Efdemin's SPANDAU20 mixtape offers an immersive auditory journey, commencing with a potent voice sample from the celebrated artist Tracey Emin. The mixtape's sonic landscape is characterized by atmospheric elements, including the gentle sounds of birds, creating a serene and captivating ambiance. As the mixtape unfolds, it seamlessly transitions from ambient to deep, rhythmic beats. Its character is defined by sultry, groovy rhythms, complemented by the warmth of synthesizers that envelop the listener like a sonic embrace. Efdemin's deft use of vocal shots adds yet another layer of depth and intrigue, resulting in a rich tapestry of sound that promises a truly engaging experience for electronic music enthusiasts.🖤

SPND20 Mixtape by Efdemin

"I'm like a collector—everything I come across makes it into my music." The dance music don talks about the music that shaped him and his recent L.B. Dub Corp album on Dekmantel.

Luke Slater, the British DJ, producer and occasional drummer, has been making music under a slew of monikers since the '80s: Planetary Assault Systems, L.B. Dub Corp, LSD, The 7th Plain, Clementine—the list goes on. While he's put out an excellent range of dynamic analogue music that runs the gamut of house, acid, breakbeat, electro and even spoken word, he's probably best known for his productions and live shows that focus on sleek and solid techno, as showcased on Ostgut Ton and his own imprint, Mote-Evolver.

In the latest instalment of our flagship live series Playing Favourites, Slater unpacks the tracks that, for him, best illustrate the history of techno at large, as well as the records that define his creative process and career trajectory. He speaks with Chloe Lula live from Polifonic festival about his love of Detroit and Underground Resistance, as well as the abiding influence of hip-hop on his early work and his love of intentionally integrating mistakes in his music. He also reflects on how he became the first non-German artist to release on Berghain's esteemed record label, as well as discussing his most recent release, Saturn to Home, for Dekmantel. The double LP saw him return to his drumming practice and introduce surprising and powerful collaborations from electronic music contemporaries and vocalists like Kittin and the poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Listen to the episode in full.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] is proud to present its 89th release — the long-awaited collaborative album by Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer x Chain Selector: Russian Space.

This 18-track album, created across Novosibirsk, Moscow, and a circle of outstanding Russian musicians, transforms the country’s cosmic heritage into a living sonic universe. Each composition is named after a celestial body discovered by Russian scientists — turning dub techno into a language of astronomy reimagined through live instruments, voice, and improvisation. Real bass, live guitars, percussion, saxophone, and vocals turn dub techno into a research mission aimed at exploring the very objects Russian astronomers once revealed to the world.

Every track here is a celestial body marked on the map thanks to Russian researchers. Russian Space becomes a sonic catalogue of national discoveries — not in the form of a textbook, but as a pulsating odyssey where deep rhythm intertwines with live improvisation, and digital precision coexists with human breath. This is not just dub techno — it is a study in motion, where each composition bears the name of a celestial object found by Russian scientists. The result is a sonic atlas of domestic discoveries, rendered in a deep, fluid, and organically cosmic sound.

II. Bass as gravity. Saxophone as the breath of the void.
:::A powerful presence emerges with Real Bassist (@dmitry-maximov-909072505), whose live bass fills 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko and 10711/Pskov with a grounded, bodily depth — turning dub textures into gravitational fields. His tone is dense, flexible, unmistakably “earth-like”, as if holding the listener in the orbital layer of each track.

“Russian Space” is an album where dub techno, live vocals, and acoustic instruments transform Russia’s scientific heritage into an emotional stellar trajectory.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
