Welcome back to another issue of The Grasshopper Warbler with me, Heron.
This episode's guest is one of my close friends, a great producer and a mind-blowing DJ: Markus Suckut.

Over the last years, Markus developed his very own style and found his way to Len Faki's Figure imprint, but also to other reputable labels like Soma, Falkplatz and many more.

Besides these kinda guest appearances he also has his own imprint called SCKT. Founded in January 2012, SCKT delivers his own productions and thereby present the root of his own style. 

The mix Markus sent me for the show is a live recording from a recent gig at the famous Lehmann in Stuttgart, Germany. He played the closing on a Sunday and it's the last hour.

UP NOW!
For the international day aganst violences against women, we invited warmly Shanghai based Techno Artist LINA K

If you've ever been clubbing in Shanghai, you've probably come across a fierce blonde during her late-night extended sets, keeping everyone from going home

With a DJ career spanning more than a decade, Lina  has established herself as one of the most prominent figures in China’s underground scene, whether through running her club night Techno Train or being actively involved in various clubs across Shanghai. As the founder of Techno Train, she shaped Shanghai’s techno culture, introducing international talent and fresh, innovative sounds to local audiences.

Her  project, Techno Is A Woman, has broken barriers, amplifying the voices of women and marginalized communities in an industry still dominated by men.

Lina is known for her dynamic performances, focusing on raw, hypnotic techno — weaving together dark atmospheres, groovy bass-lines, and cosmic soundscapes layered with hypnotic FM tones. Often blending breakbeat elements into her sound, she creates a fluid tension between darkness and groove. Lina’s music production and DJ sets are more than just stories; they are a form of self-expression, reflecting her life experiences, emotions, and the energy that shapes her creative world.

This year, her work found its place on respected labels such as Rave The Planet, MODE, Synthlab, Art Bei Ton, Ambient Sleepers,Genom Sequence, and Paralelo — appearing as part of VA compilations, remixes, and full EPs. With a full release schedule already set for 2026, Lina  continues to evolve her sound and expand her imprint on the global underground scene

Over the years, she has shared the stage with icons like Nina Kraviz, Shinedoe, Drunken Kong, Rebekah, Magda, Bloody Mary, Electric Rescue, Drumcell, Hito, Stephanie Sykes, Answer Code Request, Julia Govor , Oliver Dautchmenn,  Byetone, Enrica Falqui, Irakli , Claudio PRC , Broken English Club, Delta Funktionen  and many others, continually pushing the boundaries.

HEISSS HOTCAST 049: Wigbert

Many times, biographies of techno acts start by singing their praise of an extremely early,
extraordinary talent on synthesizers and other electronic devices.

In Heron’s case, things are different. Because Martin Spittel has been shaped musically since his childhood, the influences were as diverse as music can be.

On one side, there was his grandfather, who played various instruments, and to whom young Martin related closest to and whose influence still lasts until today. On the other side there were his cousins who were not much older than himself, enthusiastic about AC/DC, and band members themselves. Over the course of the following years, he explored the diversity of Black, Death and Trash Metal, EBM and Industrial, right up to Detroit Techno.

Ever since then, Heron's environment served as compensation to ferce parties and expanding his musical horizon. This symbiosis from the love of nature and the musical influences from his early childhood are a direct reflection of Heron’s entire life.

Following the scream of the waders (limicoline birds), he moved to picturesque island Norderney in 2003. There, exploring the island’s national park, he decided to live up to his enthusiasm about nature by going to study landscape ecology at the University of Münster. It turned out: The relocation to Münster was the initial spark for his career; the months in Norderney were inspiration for the name of his label “Limikola” which was founded in late 2008 and enjoyed enormous support by both DJs and fans.

After launching his now very successful °Schaltkreis-parties with four friends in mid-2007, everything went quickly: His first own radio show “The Grasshopper Warbler”, contacts to prominent players like Someone Else and Heartthrob, and finally the moment in early 2008 during the season’s opening at Time Warp, when Richie Hawtin played all three tracks from Heron’s Retro EP. It was merely his second EP, released on a netlabel (Minisome), and it became immediately successful. A knightly accolade.

The journey that Heron started lead to his bombshell track “Welcome to the Adventure Club” that charted in the Beatport charts in 2008, and continued with remixes and releases for Synewave, Supdub, Swap, micro.fon, Prosthetic Pressings and Sleaze Records. In 2010, it culminated with a tour across North America during the summer.

Two years later he released his very first EP on the legendary Detroit label KMS Records, owned by Kevin Saunderson, followed by remixes for Drumcomplex, P-Ben and Chris Gekä, one collaboration project with Inner City's Ann Saunderson and his second solo release „Ride The Pride“. Furthermore he made the step into the Soma family by publishing three solo EPs and an EP with Kevin's son Dantiez Saunderson, as well as he started to release on Florian Meindl's FLASH Recordings.
