Michael Kuhn aka Mike Grinser Bio:
Michael Kuhn aka Mike Grinser was born 1970 in a little village in the very south of Germany. At a young age he got interested in the record collection of his parents, listening to Johnny Cash, Elivs and other popular records. Soon he began to dub radio shows to cassette and learned to manipulate his tape recorder to play loops and do other funny stuff.

While growing up he successfully refused to learn traditional bavarian intruments and got into DJ'ing at the age of 16. At the end of the 1980's he got hit by electronic dance music and tried to do his own productions. Around that time he got friends with Christian Kreuz aka Dakar and formed the duo Dakar & Grinser.

After relocating to Munich the boys met Peter Wacha, owner of the infamous Techno Club Ultraschall and Disko B records. In 1995 the two managed to release their first record „Shot down in Reno“ on Disko B and the rest is history.

In 2000 Michael moved to Berlin and soon became resident DJ at the nowadays famous Ostgut/Berghain, Panoramabar and in summer times at CDV/Club der Visionäre.

After 15 years of making music, excessive dj'ing and live gigs around the world, Michael felt the need to spend less time at clubs and airports and gain some academic knowledge in the field of recording art's and audio. In 2006 during his audio engineering studies at SAE Berlin and Berklee College of Music, Michael got hired by Tim Xavier Bockmier to work as a freelance mastering engineer at Tim's studio in Berlin. Next to everyday mastering work Mike got the opportunity to learn cutting master lacquers on an American Scully/Westrex system.

In 2010 Mike and Tim joined forces and established Manmade Mastering KG a mastering and cutting studio based in Berlin, Kreuzberg. Step by step the studio got upgraded and equipped with a german Neumann VMS70 lathe. In 2012 Michael teamed up with Christoph Grote-Beverborg, owner of Dubplates & Mastering, the two studios collaborated and Michael started next to his career as owner and engineer at Manmade Mastering to freelance at Dubplates & Mastering.

Mike soon established himself as a well respected mastering and cutting engineer. Next to his every day studio work he started to share his knowledge as a lecturer for mastering at SAE, Berlin in 2011.

Since 2006 Mike has worked for artists and labels such as Ambiq, Aphex Twin, Apparat, Arvo Pärt, Atom TM, Automat, Bruno Pronsato, Bill Wells, Cesare vs Disorder, , Cristian Vogel, Dandy Jack, Deadbeat, DeWalta, Donna Regina, Else Marie Pade, Fjaak, Flying Saucer Attack, Genius Of Time, Hauschka, Isobel Campbell, Jakob Kierkegaard, Joel Alter, Kink, Konrad Black, Magda, Mariah, Matias Aguayo, Matthew Herbert, Max Loderbauer, Mike Shannon, Moritz von Oswald Trio, Nicolas Jaar, Peter Gordon, Petre Inspirescu, Platikman, Rhadoo, Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Robert Hood, Samuel Rohrer, Speedy J, SVN, TB Arthur, The Mole, The Young Gods, TM404, Tobias, Tolouse Low Trax, Will Samson, Yo La Tengo, and many more....

For the third instalment in the series we have invited one of Liverpools most acquired crate diggers, Samuel Padden. His fine ear for all things electronic has also rubbed off onto his productions, having just featured on the latest Ovine VA, and a stellar EP release in 2020 on Threads. 

Sam’s hour long mix blends together a selection of cosmic house and crunchy electronica, with a portable speaker at hand, this mix is definitely one to turn the heads at the park this weekend

Fusecast #166 - Manata

We met Harry late last year upon his return home from the UK.

Realizing he had some serious weps in his bag from the first mix we had with him, we thought it was appropriate to ask him to put a recording together for us.

He’s looking forward to immersing himself in the Eora/Sydney scene so without further adieu, we present Moon Coral.

MINDCAST 26 By Mark Broom

We're delighted to start our podcast series with a 3-hour set from the legendary Ben Sims, recorded live at THEØFFICE, Scanner room on June 14, 2024, marking his debut in Yerevan, Armenia. Ben has been instrumental in shaping British dance music while staying true to techno’s roots. His dynamic mixing across 3 to 5 decks, paired with his signature fusion of groove and hard-hitting Detroit-inspired cuts, had the crowd fully immersed. We're very much looking forward to having him back behind the decks. A true legend!

From @ben-sims:
Massive thanks to the promoters, crowd and crew at THEØFFICE in Yerevan. My first exposure to the scene in Armenia was a very positive one, energetic crowd, great sound, wicked venue and met some lovely people!, hope to return for another session soon ❤️

lesscast 03: His Inorganic Being

Kamron is the founding member of the Hot Mess crew in Melbourne. His natural habitat is the deep & dark pocket between House & Techno with rolling basslines & plenty of acid. After moving to Melbourne on his own he had an itch that needed scratching and started Hot Mess to bring the underground sounds of Europe to Australian shores.

The focus of Hot Mess is to bring like-minded people together to enjoy quality music. It’s a party for the diggers, no nonsense but plenty of thrills. 2020 saw Kamron play on the same bill as Dan Ghenacia, Pierre Codarin, Okain, Politics of Dancing and Alec Falconer to name a few. He’s recently ventured into music production and with a few big releases already lined up 2021 he will be carrying on the upward trajectory he’s been on for the last few years.

Since 1998, and all the record shops I worked in, I have always been a huge fan of Inigo Kennedy & his Asymmetric label. This is a kind of mega blend of IK tunes and more....

Monday Morning Mixtape x STAMP THE WAX

Oblicast 015 is from Austrian DJ @elias_djvoid, we met Elias while he was traveling in Australia and we were touring Gene on Earth, Elias warmed up for him at one of the parties.

elias aka DJ Void is a young producer and selector, born in 1991 in western Austria, in a town in the middle of the woods. Started with playing drums, he caught attention in the Viennese scene when he drifted into electronic music. Collecting records and djing since ever he's helped shape the underground scene of the city with parties such as Malennachzahlen and X-fact. Perfect housey vibes for the upcoming spring.

This mix is dedicated to his last Australia journey in March 2019, representing vibes & trax he had in his mind, when he finished his journey through the country. He got to know great people like the Sash Crew, Sunday Breakfest Club and the oblique gang.

Ed Chálace has an apportioned feeling to control the sound system and moment under one roof, this being his 23rd year in the making with a particular vision. “The feeling and response from those moments are timeless. Therefore it is only right he devote more time enabling his opportunity to travel, sharing what has been composed for like-minded individuals.”
Chálace is a Southwest native since ’81, born in El Paso, Texas. His influence comes from southwest culture, the land, sound, layers and movement. ”I always give thanks for being born and raised on the border, with its unique, once in a lifetime experience. Real art is fusing one’s soul into the creative process – expressing time within as well as around.”
Chálace’s musical interests and styles can be listed in such categories as: deep/funky/tech house/techno, raw techno, broken beats, electro, minimal, ambient/drone, jazz, cultural roots, and melodies layered with a heavy dose of bare-bones percussive drum rhythms and bass lines.
