HABITUS PODCAST #19: MZR

ona:v is a Polish-born DJ, producer and promoter with an ear for textural techno and dark electro. A scientist by day and a DJ by night, the Edinburgh-based artist is an integral figure in her locale, both as a standalone name and through event curation.

Having built an extensive track collection for several years, ona:v debuted on Edinburgh’s club circuit in 2019, with bookings across the UK making up her diary since. On home turf, ona:v plays regular gigs in Scotland’s biggest venues, having supported Ben Klock, Isabel Soto, Clouds, Paige, EKATA and many others. Outside of Scotland, she closed for Clouds and Randomer at The Cause, played at London’s Risen Festival and in Berlin’s Mensch-Meier and About Blank. 2022 saw her Polish debut, and in 2021/22 she streamed from Berlin’s HÖR Radio. More recently, for two years in a row, she headlined the basement stage curated by Sisu at Hidden Door — a prolific visual art and music festival in Edinburgh, and performed at Scotland’s biggest festival – Terminal V.

In 2020, ona:v founded EPiKA, and started promoting EPiKA’s bi-monthly party called CiRCLE in Edinburgh. Here, she creates a nurturing environment for beginner female and non-binary DJs playing more underground flavours of electronics, with focus on techno. She also garners a radio residency on London’s Threads Radio and is an internal member and a resident DJ with the Sisu crew. Production-wise, she has released tracks on multiple UK
compilations and released her debut EP, Response to the Techno Crisis, on Diffuse Reality in 2022.

Dave Clarke - White Noise #951 (Techno) (2024.03.22)

An hour of our favorite Reggae tunes from the 80s

80's Showcase w/ Niko One Drop (Upsetta Int'l)

"For this mix I have created a journey through my favourite hypnotic, dark & hard sounds. I hope this mix makes you imagine you are floating through space or in a distant cosmic realm. . . I have tried to build a nice progression throughout the mix with some ambient, upbeat, dark & melodic elements in between.  Recorded from my home studio on CDJ-900s (my favourite CDJs)  Enjoy - iluna"

iluna is a Scottish DJ & producer. The name ‘iluna’ (derived from the Basque adjective ilun) meaning "darkness; dark; somber; gloomy; mysterious; obscure", perfectly sums up iluna’s sound. iluna has residencies with Surge in Glasgow, EpiKA (Edinburgh), Tribal Pulse and has supported the likes of VITALIC, Harvey McKay, Co-accused and will be performing at this year’s Terminal V Festival in Edinburgh.This year sees iluna launch her own music collective & club night ASCEND launching in The Poetry Club Friday 26th April. ASCEND delves into the deep, dark, hypnotic & hard side of techno, supporting highly skilled artists with that extra attention to detail. 
By day iluna works as Project Manager for Resonate Music Conference, label manager for 23rd Precinct’s in-house labels & label assistant for Trial Pulse.

Phara & Stranger - HATE Podcast 381

Born in Sweden but operating out of Berlin, Philippa Pacho has been making waves in the scene as of late, notably amassing a stream of incendiary performances at some of the world’s finest (and most demanding) clubs, including Bassiani and Fuse. Herald of a fast-paced, no-surrender type of DJing, all eyes set on bringing crowds to a simmer thru and thru, Philippa muscles her way across various techno sub-genres and rhythms with conviction and poise, alternatively pushing classic Detroit-influenced material, Nordic minimalism and more Continental European-informed expressions, as she harnesses the very best of these through uncompromising selections with a pristine mixing technique. Shockwave incoming.

DIXRUPTCAST 140 | DOEMDENKER

Welcome to another CODECAST Y experience.

In this case, we're glad to introduce https://soundcloud.com/doemdenker.

He is a London based DJ and co-founder of @fragment_ldn which is a non-profit collective promoting local artists and pushing hypnotic techno and groove in the capital. His own style shifts between dark and more uplifting sounds depending on his mood and the occasion. He draws inspiration from the local scene but also largely from his experiences of the Amsterdam and Berlin communities which have helped shape his sound over the years.

Wicked grooves, non-stop flow & fast paced rhythms are to be expected from this one.

Enjoy!
