Deep dark dive push techno

Blasha & Allatt | Vault Sessions x KEY Vinyl ADE, RADION | 21 OCT 2023

Mix 006. This one is really special to me as it represents a sound I’ve been searching for as a DJ/producer/listener for a while. Too often in techno these days, the term “dark” gets mixed up with the word “hard.” In my eyes, they mean something very different. This mix represents my vision for the dark, driving techno I love to play and listen to. “Dark” techno, for me, accesses the full range of human emotion. Austerity and mechanized coldness mixed with fleeting moments of yearning and beauty. Not just grooves, but tracks with great melodies that suggest more beneath the surface. Put another way—dark, driving techno done right is layered and subtle, something that rewards you the more you listen. 

I’ve included a broad mix of tracks I’ve been feeling from across the decades. Thanks for listening. Link to the full mix in my bio.

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Boris. The iconic Berlin-based artist has long been a fixture in the local and international scene whether as a resident of Berghain or bringing his electrifying sets to countries all over the world. Deeply committed to the captivating magic that unfolds on the dance floor, this burning passion sparks a longing to shape, tease and playfully amplify the intensity of the dance floor action. With over two decades of experience as a producer for the likes of Ostgut Ton and Careless and as a DJ, he remains an unwavering, yet never predictable, mainstay.

Renowned for his extended, scorching techno closing sets, Boris is one of the most well-versed and dedicated protagonists in Berlin's vibrant queer electronic scene. However, to pigeonhole Boris only to Berlin would be doing him a disservice. In fact, his visits to legendary clubs like Paradise Garage and the Loft in New York City have left an indelible mark on his persona and DJ style. 

We're honored to bring you this incredibly journey through his sound.

It gives us great pleasure to welcome @bailey-ibbs to our DETECT series. 
Now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Night Service co-founder, Tresor resident and dance-floor devotee, Bailey Ibbs is jack of all trades, and yet, somehow master of all. As a producer, DJ, promoter, label manager and promoter, there lies very few stones left to turn in a musical career spanning nigh-on a decade. 

The years since the world’s extended hiatus have seen Bailey turn his focus towards Techno, with 2022’s `Volta’ EP bringing his sprightly, funky grooves to the world’s attention, before his follow-up ‘Not into it’ permanently captured it. Yet underlying this seemingly endless array of craftsmanship remains a humble, underrated persona committed to nurturing the next generation, seen in his constant support of others on our own dance floor, as well as elsewhere. 

Bailey Ibbs has recorded an exclusive mix for our DETECT series, which is now available to listen to on our FOLD SoundCloud.

DETECT [161] - Bailey Ibbs

This VA release marks the beginning of a collaborative process.
Contrary to other releases, nobody decides who is good or fitting enough.
Instead all artists participate in a joint feedback process to improve on their tracks, until they have reached a level at which they feel comfortable releasing.

As the title indicates, each track is a reflection on the musical taste, life situation, and production ability of each artist.
Over time - with more releases - we'll be able to see all artists grow.

All tracks have been produced by the respective artist and mastered from somebody inside the group.
This is a non-commercial project and all tracks are free to download as high quality wav files.

A segment of my 3 hour set at Jaded in London. The vibe at this party is always on point!

The levels were recorded a bit hot, so apologies for the slightly rough recording. But if anything, it compliments the vibe of the mix. :)

By not taking usual paths and knowing his inner self, it all felt natural for Ignez to devote more of his life to electronic music. His roots are in between dust of sand and waves of salt water. Ignez grew up near the coast of The Netherlands where hypnotizing waves and infinitive dunes shaped his sound. He fled the conservative world by sketching his own reality with these elements of nature. This became inextricably linked within his consciousness and reflects back into his music today, bringing a tight yet indefinable techno sound. 

He has shaped his own path through his imprint, Somov Records, where he unveiled his distinctive sound and artistic vision for the first time. In addition to his own imprint, he has made an indelible impact on influential labels such as Token and SK_eleven, enchanting audiences worldwide with mesmerizing releases. Notably, Ignez has collaborated with Rødhåd. Together, they have created two EPs that showcase their unique musical synergy. 

In his DJ sets, Ignez transports the audience into a mesmerizing sonic journey, captivating their senses and lifting the dancefloor to a higher state of being and a collective oceanic feeling. His driving, hypnotic, and minimalistic approach pulls listeners into a magnetic trance, where the pulsating rhythms and ethereal melodies create an immersive sonic experience. His residency at the esteemed underground Eerste Communie has been the cornerstone of his development as a DJ, fostering experience that has grown with him from a young age.

From intimate club settings to renowned festivals, his sets evoke a transformative experience, inviting listeners to embark on a sonic odyssey and dive into the depths of his sonic universe.
