BCCO Mix Series 329: KUSS

Number 73 brings Frankfurt-based duo ''VILLA'' to the Podcast Series. After having them over in Berlin for our Summer Groove edition at Else, we knew we needed to have them on display for this month's entry.

VILLA is known for their dynamic performances and modern approach to their genre both in Germany and internationally. Their creative mixing and high-energy tracks have built them a loyal, growing fan base. Also their own productions have received critical acclaim and offered them releases on labels such as Monnom Black, Mutual Rytm and Akronym. With their style being supported by notable DJs around the globe, VILLA is a duo to be looking out for.

On ne pouvait plus attendre les 27 & 28 septembre pour vous retrouver sur Utopia Festival alors, pour vous préparer pour ces deux nuits de folie on vous a concocté une série de podcasts avec des acteur.ice.s de la scène régionale et artistes figurant sur la prog !

On reconnaît notre second invité rien qu’à son déhanché : @bours1 est un artiste made in France à suivre de très très près. Grosse révélation de ces dernières années, il distille une techno dont lui seul semble avoir le secret, à la fois hard, groovy et sexy déclenchant instantanément les pas de danse.

Ce qui le distingue des autres DJs, c’est sa capacité à lire la foule et à adapter son set à la volée.

Aujourd’hui, avec plusieurs années d’expérience à son actif, Bours? est devenu une figure respectée de la communauté des musiques électroniques. Ses sets sont toujours très attendus et ses productions continuent de repousser les limites du genre.

Il est également le fondateur du label Thumps Out Traxx, où il met en avant les œuvres de nouveaux talents et d’amis.

UTOPIA PODCAST #1 - Bours?

We're kicking off the year with Vilchezz. 

Berlin-based and originally from Andalucia, Vilchezz draws inspiration from the city’s vibrant electronic music culture and his deep-rooted passion for clubbing, which first ignited his journey into music production. Influenced by a diverse range of genres and iconic acts, he has crafted a distinctive sound that has earned him recognition in today’s electronic music landscape.

In this mix, Vilchezz showcases the sound that made his name prominent today. Paced rhythm-heavy techno with tight percussion and strongly sound-designed texture. It's a great reflection of his approach to music and cementing himself as one to watch.

ÜBERKIKZ - Upclose 2025

Transmitting from the edges of emotion and rhythm, ALI3N arrives.

Blending hypnotic grooves with industrial grit, tribal tension and cosmic textures, his sound does NOT follow trends, it creates space.

Raw. fluid. honest.
Where cold precision meets human vulnerability, and every silence holds meaning.

ALI3N’s sets are more than journeys. They are moments of connection. From RSO and Tresor to Elysia and FI Cologne, he has moved bodies and stirred souls.

Behind the decks, he channels instinct, memory and purpose while exploring themes of identity, loss and the need to feel something real.

This is techno with a pulse.
And ALI3N is here to remind us: you are not alone.

PODCAST SERIES 021: ALI3N

DJUS is steadily making his mark in the techno scene, with releases on a range of labels and tracks played in renowned clubs worldwide. His sound moves between deep, groovy rhythms and funky, vocal‑driven energy. Beyond DJing and producing, he runs ASW Collective, a platform dedicated to supporting emerging talent through a mix series and label releases.

This extended set moves from deeper, groovier selections into funkier, high‑energy moments, with shifts in pace and mood to keep it dynamic and engaging. Designed to feel like a true closing set, it balances introspection with release and ends on his own track, Langnek. It’s a snapshot of his musical and emotional state at the time.
