For BASEMENT 008, we've turned things over to Holden Federico.   A favorite of the NY underground, Federico holds a reputation both for his comprehensive knowledge of techno's most obscure corners and for his capacity to channel his sprawling collection into DJ sets of exceptional poise and vibrancy. Raised in Pennsylvania, an early fascination with software production led him from live music into an obsession with track building and the limitless possibilities of electronic music. In 2020, he launched @90stechno.redux, an online platform that catalogues some of the finest, and often nearly-unheard, examples of the genre's golden age. Drawing heavily on the Detroit-Berlin axis, Federico exemplifies the focus and discernment of a purist, engaging with techno both as a true art form and as a near-spiritual discipline.

Léa Occhi - HATE Podcast 422

recorded live on May 17, 2025 at Indiego Glocksee in Hanover [Germany]

Right on cue to support the release of his newest EP on SK_eleven, here comes Manchester via Berlin's own Setaoc Mass with a banger of a mix to break June in proper, pedal to the metal. Exponent of a sound both intrinsically rugged yet layered to mind-altering effect, the British producer has been dishing out unstoppable slices of hi-velocity techno laced with a signature stripped-back, psychedelic edge. This new RYC podcast doesn’t veer off from such a direction and we’re graced with a two-hour mind trip boasting both bass-driven warehouse impact and an elegantly-woven tapestry of abrasive grooves, leaning by turn towards atmospheric elation and on other occasions pushing in the direction of utter fibrous, steel-coated industrial pound. The result is a wilder than wild ride down a smouldering pit of acid-washed hard hitters. Brutal.

Co-founder of Manchester’s infamous Rhythm Theory parties, A.Morgan lands his inaugural mix for RYC, showcasing both the breadth of his style and clinicality of his mixing skillset. Fresh off the release of his five-tracker, ‘Hyper Tension’, Morgan onboards the series with two hours of no-nonsense floor-destroying wares, stripped-down 4x4 aerobatics and epic-sized buildups. Muscular and mind-expanding, brace yourself for a set at the junction of proper hi-tech grit and heavily verbed-out grooves, merging the finest of classic 909-fuelled pound with atmospheric abandon and tape-delayed psychedelia. Blast this one out loud, all windows opened and woofers set to eleven.

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

As Saturday night reached its peak, KR!Z unleashed the signature sound of his label, Token — a masterclass of precise blends and energy control that turned his set into one of the most flawlessly executed performances of the entire festival. 

Two hours of razor-sharp techno that gripped the forest from the first kick to the last echo.
