Ehrenschwesta joins for DifferentSound Podcast #125.

Ehrenschwesta aka. Menal Batti began her musical journey in the year 2019. Already at a young age, she had a passion for it, the most driving instrument being her father's, the so-called “Saz”. She is a Swedish techno DJ based in Vienna and also a member of Wiener Gerüstbau, a Viennese collective that focuses on highly effective Oldschool Techno cuts.  Her style is shifting through the variants of the genre but her online mixes are proof of her love for the 90s Techno music. She would often describe her music fast, extremely rhythmic, powerful but with atmospheric tunes.

▷ THE ART OF: Mesh Convergence | 012

The twelfth episode reinforces our guest, Mesh Convergence's pure-spirited versatile role, who emerges in the techno empire, both as DJ and producer. It reflects his concept of music as a way out from convention, playing calculated rebellion in a mixed sharp combination of striking techno, cosmic touches, and height-surfaced breaks.

Mesh aims to overcome the perimeters of the orthodox minimalist four-to-the-floor rhythm, providing variety and originality, solid cadences built through a wide and irregular sound, dystopian sequences, clear shortcuts, intertwined repetitions, and defined atmospheres.

Highlighting his ability to weave meshes of emotional intensity with experimental skill, constructing an auditory direction that models appropriate outcomes of convergence, Nahuel formulates 'The Art of' as an engaging path and an ingenious chapter, taking listeners to bold sonic crossroads. 

Wherever the set takes you, to flee, forget, get lost or help you find your truth, it is a gift dedicated to appreciating the present moment and connecting with this art. So surrender to the unknown and let it be, it will add up. 

3, 2, 1... Dance the Mix! 💫
----------------------------

Nahuel Rodriguez, known as Mesh Convergence, is a Spanish producer whose work has significantly impacted the techno scene. Currently residing between Granada and Madrid, his roots are firmly planted in techno. However, his musical explorations extend to Electro, Breakbeats, Jungles, Drum & Bass, and IDM, reflecting his broad musical interests and versatility.

Nahuel's journey into music began with a love for Linkin Park and metal in 2006, eventually evolving into an interest in electronic music by 2010. However, his reconnection with techno in 2020 truly defined his current musical direction. His sound has been shaped by various techno producers, resulting in a unique blend of styles that sets him apart in the electronic music scene. His music, a product of emotion and experimentation, offers an intense and addictive listening experience. 

It has been released on esteemed labels such as Faut Section, Edit Select, Children of Tomorrow, Utopia, TMM, Sungate, Subsist, BAHN-, Signal, Arido, NYXII, and Diffuse Reality, among others. 

His tracks have found their way into the sets of renowned artists like DVS1, Laurent Garnier, Rødhad,Takaaki Itoh, Setaoc Mass, Lewis Fautzi, Fabio Florido, HD Substance, Pfirter, Adriana Lopez, Ribé, Viels, Vincent Neumann, Blazej Malinowski and more, resonating in iconic venues such as Berghain, Awakenings, Luna Park, Sisyphos, Fabrik, and Tresor.

Nahuel's music, which ranges from pounding techno to richly textured breaks, is a fusion of robotic and organic sounds. Drawing inspiration from science fiction and the material world, his unique sonic palette integrates everything from natural elements to dystopian future synthesizers. 

This results in DJ sets that transport the crowd, offering them an escape from their surroundings.

With several upcoming releases, Nahuel continues pushing electronic music's boundaries. His vision is to create music that provides an escape, a sonic journey that takes listeners away from their everyday reality and immerses them in a world of sound. As he continues to evolve and experiment, Nahuel Rodriguez is an artist to watch in the ever-changing techno landscape.

Retrospect 127 | PHYXX (@phyxx_music)

·

PHYXX is a DJ born in the province of Almería. At the young age of 13, due to family ties, he had his first contact with music. As his age advanced, his interest in electronic music and the clubbing scene increased, during which time he acquired his first equipment and immersed himself fully in the most forceful aspects of Techno music. His first years in mixing were linked to hard groove. As he developed his technique on the turntables, he began to delve into a purer, classic and lower-rev techno, which has led him to be a multifaceted artist. Today and in his sets, PHYXX offers dynamic mixes accompanied by hard, hypnotic and forceful lines. He has released on labels such as Darkforest, Diffuse Reality, Binaural Records, Mechanical Waves Records, Ethnic Meeting.

RETROSPECT 127: PHYXX

2025.12

Reshape Your Persona

A. Kat Race
B. Alarms Cyclone

Overview
Jeff Mills’ “The Bells” is one of the most iconic tracks in techno history, often called the genre’s anthem. Known for its hypnotic bell melody, driving kick, and euphoric build, it became a staple in DJ sets worldwide. The track was first played live by Mills in 1995 (e.g., at Liquid Room in Tokyo), but it wasn’t officially released until 1997 as part of the Kat Moda EP on his Purpose Maker label. This EP is the original record pressing you’re asking about—no standalone “The Bells” single exists from that era. It has since been repressed multiple times due to massive demand (over 500,000 copies sold across versions).


Original Pressing Details
* Release Year: 1997 (though the track dates to 1995 performances and test pressings)
* Format: 12” vinyl EP, 33 ⅓ RPM
* Label: Purpose Maker
* Catalog Number: PM-002
* Country: US
* Pressing Notes: First pressing on standard black vinyl. Matrix runouts indicate a repress or variant: A side - PM 002-A (RE I) NSC; B side - PM 002-B (RE I) NSC (etched, with NSC circled). The mastering has been criticized as “shit” by some collectors for its raw, unpolished sound—typical of ’90s techno but quieter than modern represses, often requiring gain boosts in DJ sets. Sold out quickly at shops like Cisco in Tokyo upon release.

Tracklist
Side	Track	Duration
A1	The Bells	4:46
A2	Kat Race	4:22
B1	Alarms (aka “Masterplan” in later compilations)	5:32
B2	Cyclone	4:48


* 	•	Production Credits: Written, produced, and edited by Jeff Mills. Published by Millsart/BMG-Ariola.
* Why Buried on an EP? Mills reportedly avoided hype-sticker promotion to let the track’s organic popularity (from crowd reactions) drive sales. Purpose Maker was for floor-focused material, contrasting his experimental Axis label.

How to Identify an Original Pressing
* Visual Cues: Gold-on-black label design. No “10th Anniversary” or remix mentions. Check for wear from heavy club play—originals often show it.
* Sound Cues: Raw, dynamic mix with prominent kick and bells; lower loudness (not -5 LUFS like some digital remasters). Test pressings exist but are rare and unnumbered.
* Value (as of Oct 2025): $20–$50 USD for VG+ condition on Discogs/Reverb; mint originals can hit $100+ due to collector demand. Recent sales: Median $30–$40.

Later Versions and Represses
The track exploded in popularity, leading to reissues. Key ones:
* 1999 Repress: Same EP format (PM-002), minor matrix tweaks. Often mistaken for original.
* 2006 (10th Anniversary): Standalone 12” on Purpose Maker (PM-020). Includes reworked B-sides (“Gift of the Hills,” “Circus”). Louder mastering; promo versions exist. ~$15–$30.
* 2006 DVD Edition: Axis (AXDV-002). Enhanced with visuals from 1997–98 footage; limited audio/video hybrid.
* 2019 Remaster: On Sight, Sound & Space compilation (Axis). Cleaner, higher fidelity; first vinyl appearance of orchestral “Blue Potential” version.
* 2025 Remaster: Digital-only (e.g., SoundCloud edits); no new vinyl confirmed.

If you’re hunting for an original, check Discogs for verified sellers—avoid fakes by matching matrix numbers. For audio, stream the 1997 version on Beatport or Spotify. Got a specific copy or need value check? Share details! 🔔
