The last episode of the Nachtblumen podcast for 2024 features orsu, a French DJ from the idyllic island of Corsica. With a thoughtful and story-driven approach to music, orsu crafts hypnotic and immersive soundscapes that blur boundaries between experimental textures and deep techno rhythms.

As a co-founder of the Paris-based platform Nebuleuse, orsu plays a key role in curating events, podcasts, and premieres that explore the deeper, boundary-pushing sides of electronic music. His mix, “Evergreen Rhythms,” takes listeners on a timeless journey, inspired by the hypnotic textures of sound and the color green—a perfect closing note for the year.

VORTEX INVITES 031: @septim_music

Next in line is Septim — a Ukrainian DJ and producer known for his driving, hypnotic sound. With releases on labels like Obskura, Laboratorium, Systemna Potvora, and a debut EP on Insane Industry, his works have steadily carved out a distinct space within the darker corners of techno.

This mix leans into shadowy repetition and groove-fueled tension, guiding the listener through a meditative journey. Carefully paced and subtly layered, it echoes the late-night pulse of the dancefloor while holding space for introspection and drift.

BUCLE SERIES 009: Drucal

We are glad to present Drucal is a Colombian artist based in Barcelona, with regular releases on the legendary record label Molecular Recordings. 

With his distinctive sound, he has earned a place in the sets of some of the biggest names on the global scene and, as a DJ, has brought his music to various cities across Spain and Colombia.

Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, James Ruskin, Phase Fatale, and DVS1 are just a few of the heavyweights who have shown support for Drucal’s work and sound.

His releases are a study in contrast: dense, fluid low-end rhythms support atmospheric layers that flow with intent, creating a tension between power and introspection.

With consistency and creative clarity, Drucal continues to carve out his place in the scene.

Enjoy the mix and get lost in the sound of the underground.

LASTER MIX #023 · BEN KLOCK

"I think if you can imagine what you want to create, it means that someone has done it
already. I want to explore new textures, new sounds. It’s all about improvisation." So runs the creative mantra of Lidvall, an artist whose immersive and pulverising productions stands as among the most innovative in the contemporary techno scene. Hailing from St Petersburg and now living in Spain, Lidvall is one of the artists I had always wished to include in the DYSTOPIA series, owing to the outstanding quality and impressive consistency of his output. In this episode I frame his music with some thoughts on movement in aesthetics before we delve into an interview covering his musical methodology, his increasing embrace of dancefloor oriented productions, as well as some recent controversies he has encountered releasing his music on a very well known techno label. As always, the episode is capped with a 30 minute mix of his finest productions. Hope you all enjoy the episode, meeting Lidvall, and his incredible music.

Tracklist:
Above The System (MORD)
Ether (Gordo Trax)
Animality (Faut Section)
Pose (Signal Rec)
Wooden Crafts (Faut Section)
Sinus (Ucker)
Late Night Train (TMM)
Horizont (TMM)
Don’t Ask Me Anything (SMUTA)
Somewhere (Techno Tuesday Amsterdam)

DYSTOPIA 006: LIDVALL

At the peak of our longest event to date on Saturday, January 18th 2025, a NYC-based selector stepped into the booth at Masada to tell a story: a journey of tension and release, brimming with emotion and passion, a romance that lingered in our memories long after. We are beyond thrilled to mark the 100th instalment of CLOSERcast with none other than Holden Federico’s live recording of his 3-hour Masada set, to immerse ourselves into that beautiful, graceful and moving experience once more.

Philly-born, New York-based producer and DJ Holden Federico is dedicated to reimagining techno by pushing its core elements to bold new extremes. His productions carry a driving low-end energy, rich thematic layers, and dub-infused detailing, all underpinned by grit and soul. As a DJ, he weaves together diverse textures, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for techno’s roots, shaping a modern dancefloor experience that balances the physical with the emotional.

CLOSERcast #100 - HOLDEN FEDERICO

The first episode of the Nachtblumen podcast for 2021 comes from Camille Ferdinandus also known as @rosillon, a Dutch artist based in Rotterdam. 

Rosillon’s sound is mostly focused on the deep hypnotic realm of techno. After years of music exploration, he got to experience artists like Rødhåd, Ntogn and CHPTR, which paved the way for his dreams in music. As this type of techno is not that popular in the Netherlands, Camille wants to try and introduce it to people and show the beauty of true storytelling and morphing atmospheres. To him storytelling means finding the right records that have unique elements, which when combined create an otherworldly mind and body experience for the listener. 

In his vinyl only podcast, Camille tells the story of hope. The set is a combination of light and dark atmospheres that bring you to an obscure place, somewhat a metaphor for the world we live in right now. It also reflects his deep feelings for a special someone that inspired him to be hopeful in these times of darkness. 

Press play and enjoy this vinyl only project of love.
