Techno

Some time ago I asked Donato to compile the “Rome” edition of the 200th podcast for electronique.it.

His response to this challenge is a techno mix that I can best describe as an intense, intimate and evocative portrait of the reality that is Rome. While drawing on a wide range of source material and inspiration from the past, he constructs a deeply personal mix that is directed towards the future. It is, in a word, epic!

The second release on UK producer Melé's Quadrants label is a dense, four-track tech EP from Callahan titled Fallacy. It maintains techno atmospherics, but houses a warped bassline and hi-hats on the ups that render it some genre-less clusterfuck of dance-able, dystopian aesthetics.

This months guest is the Berlin-based Techno producer, Live Act and DJ Ray Kajioka.
Ray is best known for his output on Kanzleramt Music. But also for his on Cocoon released EP "Never Ending" and remixes for artists like Joel Mull, Dave Clarke, Alexander Kowalski and many more. 

A striking aspect of his music is certainly the warm spheric and impulsive sound, which is constantly present in all his productions.
“The typical Ray-sound!”, as some call it simply, is appreciated all around the globe and had taken him to events international-wide.

His debut album "En Route" can be expected in March on Heiko Laux' Kanzleramt Music.
Besides that there will be also a remix for Nicholas Bacher, coming one month later in April, on Yan Stricker's !!Organism imprint.

Heron presents: The Grasshopper Warbler 014 w/ Ray Kajioka

PREMIERE: You & Ninetoes - Union

Dresden-based DJ and producer Malena pushes the boundaries of sound, structure, and perception. For her, electronic music means being radical, experimental, and uncompromising. In both her productions and DJ sets, she creates sonic spaces where heavy drums, driving breaks, and dark atmospheres shift perception and unleash new energy.

As part of the HTXSTHSTX label collective, Malena works alongside a diverse range of artists who together explore a wide spectrum of sounds – from downtempo to techno, rave, high energy, breakbeat, and drum & bass. Beyond releasing music, the collective also organizes events that are built on intimacy and integrity, creating spaces where freedom and sound collide. HTXSTHSTX stands as a platform for musical desires, visions, and sonic exploration.

For TONKASSETTE Podcast #28, Malena delivers dystopian soundscapes that feel both haunting and inspiring. Broken rhythms, relentless drums, and atmospheric layers merge into a dark, intense journey. With heavy basslines, gritty synth textures, and hypnotic drive, her set carves out a unique and unmistakable sonic identity.

UVEXX is a new born DJ based in Lille (France), crafts dark, deep, and hypnotic techno, where each frequency feels like a breath on the edge of consciousness. Inspired by the mental resonances of the Spanish and South American scenes, he draws from industrial, deep, and textured sounds to weave a musical thread that is both raw and introspective.
His sets unfold with a slow, deliberate progression — opening gateways to inner realms, where perception stretches and rhythm becomes a secret language.
No blinding lights, no excess — just a full immersion into a world where sound breathes, vibrates and disturbs.


Artists played, and also inspires him (A-Z) :

A False Pilgrim, Aaron Schwarz, Atisbo & Schrzø + Oxygeno & Sciahri Remixes, Bartig move, BRÄLLE, Conceptual, Decoder, Giri, GoruToshina, Kessell, KikePravda, Lewis, Michel Lauriola, Mist Gasp, Nemesis, NWHR, Oxygeno, Porteix, PTTRNRCRRNT, PSYK & Orbe, PWCCA, Tauceti, Tonyy, VSK, øTi

Nadia Struiwigh is the 456th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

'Tresor has been a true anchor in my journey. After three years as a resident, the club has challenged me, shaped me, and given me the freedom to explore the full spectrum of my sound, even after many years in the scene. It’s a place where I’ve grown both as a musician and as a person. That’s why I dedicate this set to Tresor.

This recording channels the intensity of my recent releases (Blueprint – X1 SHIFT and The Third Room – Wind Whisper) and captures the side of me that lives and breathes techno. At the same time, it marks a moment before I turn a part of my focus back toward my electronica side, with my fifth album on the horizon, set to be released on my own imprint, Distorted Waves.'

Augusto, known as Rorschack, was born in Taranto in 1985 into a family of musicians. Mastering keyboards and drums from an early age, he transitioned to DJing, refining his skills in Rome and Florence before joining the Timeless crew in 2013, as well as Subwoofer and LGBTQI parties. His eclectic style blends electronic, techno, fast future-techno, and psytrance, earning him performances at prestigious venues like FOLD London, Tresor, and Gare Porto. In 2015, he co-founded Closer Milano, reshaping the global techno scene. His performance at HÖR Berlin in 2022 marked a turning point in his career, followed by a standout set at Stone Techno Festival 2025, which brought him further international attention. With recent appearances at Closer parties alongside Bassiani, Tresor, Vault Sessions, Hayes and Meat Free Manchester, and releases on labels like Oecus, Out of Place, BCCO and Eram Records among others, Rorschack continues to inspire with his innovative productions and deep commitment to the craft.

Lindsey Herbert is a commanding figure in today's techno scene, particularly renowned across
the Southwest for her unwavering dedication to techno's more underground sounds, and her
ability to command crowds no matter the circumstances.
Since 2015, she has been a fixture alongside top-tier artists in the bustling scenes of Los
Angeles and San Francisco, leaving an indelible mark on both cities. Originally a resident of
Robot Ears and now Direct to Earth, Lindsey has been an integral part of San Francisco's
techno landscape, while also gracing the stages of prominent LA promoters such as
OBSERVE, Synthetik Minds, 6AM, Dirty Epic, RE/FORM, and more. Her influence extends
beyond borders with steady headlining gigs both domestically and internationally, while her
more recent relocation to Phoenix sees her actively nurturing the local techno community as a
resident of Techno Snobs. Most recently in 2025 she became Geheimclub Magdeburg’s first
international club resident.
In 2019, Lindsey made her solo production debut on LA's Ascetic Limited, marking the
beginning of a prolific  journey in the studio. Her releases have proliferated, with recent drops
on esteemed U.S. underground labels like Truncate, Conundrum, Blank Code, 4-Trk, Northern
Parallels, E-HRZN, and Crisis of Man, as well as notable European and South American
imprints such as Clergy, SYXT, Noise Manifesto, RAW., Planet X, NECHTO, NYXII, Bipolar
Disorder, Suara and many others. The future holds even more promise with countless
forthcoming releases on the horizon.
However, Lindsey's trajectory extends far beyond her production career. Notably, she graced
the stages of Movement Festival in Detroit and the iconic Tresor in Berlin last year, solidifying
her presence on the global stage. Additionally, she was personally invited by techno luminary
Richie Hawtin to tour throughout North America as part of his From Our Minds concept, further
cementing her status in the industry.
In a noteworthy evolution, Lindsey's personal sound has transitioned to a more hypnotic,
groovy, and dance floor-oriented style. Her sets, ranging from ambient to deep to peak-time
and high-energy, are meticulously crafted to suit the atmosphere, aiming to immerse listeners
in a captivating journey and lock them into a relentless groove.
Beyond her performances and productions, Lindsey is also a co-founder of EvilGroove, a
burgeoning label that continues to expand its roster of talented emerging artists. The label has
been actively hosting showcases, providing a platform for the next generation of techno talent
to shine.
With her dynamic sound, magnetic stage presence, and relentless dedication to pushing
boundaries, Lindsey Herbert stands as a formidable force in the technosphere, leaving an
indelible mark wherever she goes. 

We're very happy and proud to have you on board!

Liberta Radio 85 With Vinicius Honorio - USAW Guest Mix

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.
