[ ANCIENT METHODS ]

Ancient Methods, founder of the Persephonic Sirens Label, has cemented his status as a steadfast presence within the electronic music scene for nearly two decades. His venture embodies an unyielding and resolute passion for otherworldly, multifaceted music, underpinned by his distinctive "pitch black techno war funk." Firmly grounded in the conviction that innovation arises from dismantling barriers, his DJ sets, live performances, and productions are a perpetual force of nonconformist renewal, devoid of ingratiation to fleeting vogues. His performances and collaborations with Regis, Orphx, and Cindytalk have taken him to stages worldwide, from ADE to Tresor.

鬼面 : GWI MYEON PODCAST 046 ANCIENT METHODS

"With this recording I tried to distill the sense of seeping, eschatological horror I feel as the world slowly falls apart around us. At times brutal but with moments of tenderness, it is a lament for all we stand to lose, not least our humanity."

Lee Adams aka Choronzon

Ancient Methods | Artaphine Series 109

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to give back to the community that shaped me. What it means to create something for the culture, not just within it. I wanted to contribute in a different way this time. Something that lives beyond the party. Something that holds space for the artists who’ve impacted me on a deeper level. That’s how the FIXVTIØN mix series came to life. And I couldn’t think of a more meaningful way to start than with Headless Horseman.

His music has been a constant force in my life for years. Guiding me, influencing my sound, expanding my understanding of what Techno can feel like. From the first time I experienced his work, it left an imprint on me that’s never faded. To have him as the debut of this project is surreal. It’s full circle. It’s an honor.

With that being said, I’m excited to unveil the first installment of FIXVTIØN’s mix series. A new platform dedicated to pushing forward-thinking Techno and resisting the over-saturation of formulaic sounds.

Now live. Listen loud.

Track list:

1) Foreshadow / Carrier
2) Therma / Takaaki Itoh
3) Shadows Of Tomorrow / Lewis Fautzi
4) Introspective Vision / Linkan Ray
5) Cuatro Tiempos / Ikari
6) Paralizado / Nwhr
7) Blocked / Lakej
8) Dirty Water / Peppe Amore
9) Angstgegner / Bas Mooy
10) Reflection Of You / Mesh Convergence

FIXVTIØN Mix Series 001 — Headless Horseman

New SPND20 Mixtape in: welcome Function!📼

One of techno’s true underground heroes, Function steps in with a mix that captures the essence of his club sound: deep, dark, hypnotic and intensely layered. Cerebral yet physical, this set distills over 30 years of experience into a rolling trip that’s as uncompromising as it is immersive.

Recorded in Berlin with a Xone 96, with Function’s signature sound design woven throughout, the mix bridges heavyweight classics and future-shaping material. Kicking off with Nastia Reigel’s massive new remix of his own Disaffected, it showcases three tracks from her upcoming debut album Identity (out September 26 on Infrastructure).

The selection runs wide: from Regis, Rødhâd, LSD, Nørbak, Nastia Reigel, Ignez, Rene Wise, Silent Servant, Alarico and UFO95 to unreleased gems by Filippo Scorcucchi - alongside Function’s own productions, edits and textures. The result is a hypnotic, high-pressure session built for the club’s inner core, designed for maximum immersion and intensity.

A rare insight into the craft of one of techno’s most enduring innovators. Expect a journey that tunnels deep, bends time, and refuses to let go. 🖤

Next on our mix series is @ancient-methods, a cornerstone of the industrial techno movement, whose sound is a testament to the power of texture and unyielding percussive density.

This latest transmission, captured at the Khidi night at Human, is no exception. It's a relentless excavation of the genre's darkest corners—a journey defined by his signature pummeling kicks, clangorous metallic echoes, and the cold, physical energy that has come to define his sound.

KAMELIIA @UNFOLD (28.09.2025)

Our 8th podcast episode is out now, featuring a true legend of underground techno: Takaaki Itoh. From organizing early techno parties in northern Japan to carving out a globally respected sound, Itoh has spent over two decades shaping a style that’s raw, hypnotic, and deeply rooted in the underground. With releases across key labels and his own imprint Wols, he continues to push forward with quiet consistency and unmistakable precision.

Fresh off his recent set at Para Club in Serbia, he delivers a mix that reflects his signature “sculpting” approach: hypnotic rhythms, dark tension, and pure dancefloor focus. A snapshot of why he remains one of techno’s most respected and influential figures.

Next up joining the KYSH catalogue is HIGHLIMITER — a rising force from Tbilisi whose refined sense of rhythm and raw energy translate into a sharply focused six-track statement. He steps in with material built for serious club functionality, yet enriched with a distinctive sonic identity.

The EP opens with “Magnetic Souls” and “Zyryab”, two essential, hook-driven techno cuts where stripped architecture enhances the impact of every element. “Void Motion” shifts the trajectory into a more groovy, tightly wound direction — a tension-builder with hypnotic movement at its core. “La Noche” raises the temperature further, pushing the essentialist formula toward peak-time force, while “Nightcraft” expands it with energetic looping pressure. Closing track “Locked Dimensions” lands as a masterfully layered DJ tool, a precision-crafted weapon for blending and momentum control.

Altogether, HIGHLIMITER’s debut for KYSH is a clean, modern and highly functional showcase of his style — minimal in form, impactful in execution, and designed with a clarity that speaks directly to the dancefloor.
