Next up in our series, we welcome Dutch techno producer and DJ Aron SC, a rising name from the northern city of Groningen.

Aron's path into electronic music began in 2016, working under the moniker schz, where he sculpted moody, atmospheric soundscapes influenced by artists like Burial. His music shifter shifted in 2018 when he immersed himself in Groningen’s thriving underground scene. A turning point that led him deeper into the world of techno.

In 2019, Aron SC was born. Since then, he’s been refining a signature sound that blends hypnotic grooves, shadowy textures, and immersive rhythms. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, Aron’s sets are journeys, carefully woven to move both body and mind, always with a pulse rooted in the dancefloor.

Thank you for your work.

Next up in our series, we saddle up with Galopp, a fresh face blasting out of the trance-techno stables with a wild spark and a taste for the unexpected.

Her adventure into electronic music began with a love for fast-paced rhythms and melodies that stick to your soul. Over time, she’s carved out a style that’s anything but predictable. Think candy-coated trance leads, turbo-charged techno kicks, and left-turns that keep the dancefloor guessing.

Behind the decks, Galopp is all in, unafraid to play with emotion, tempo, and surprise. Her sets are playful rollercoasters : full of bounce, bold choices, and a rhythm that won't let go. One thing’s for sure. You’ll dance, you’ll smile, and you’ll want more. Enjoy the ride. 

Thank you for your work.

We are happy to announce that Tzunamicast 004 with Muski is now available on SoundCloud.

Prepare yourself for a journey through cutting edge music and captivating themes. 
Dive into a dynamic conversation with Muski as we explore the vibrant world of techno and what makes it truly unique. Join our passionate community of listeners and experience this unforgettable sonic adventure.

Muski, born and raised in Malta, discovered his passion for electronic music through the local underground techno scene in 2014. Known for his fast-paced, hypnotic style and refined track selection, he began playing gigs shortly after. In 2015, he co-founded Xpose, hosting artists like Newa, Amotik, CJ Bolland, and Exium. Since 2018, he has been a key figure behind In.di.go and waX—two major local events developed with Solid Tracks Records—featuring acts such as ANNĒ, Alarico, KR!Z, and Blasha & Allatt.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF ASKING MUSKI A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TECHNO SCENE:


WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TECHNO SCENE NEEDS LESS OF RIGHT NOW?

"THE TECHNO SCENE IS STRONG AT THE MOMENT....YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE JAM-PACKED DANCEFLOORS. I WOULD SAY HOWEVER THAT WE NEED LESS PEOPLE USING MOBILES ON THE DANCEFLOOR. IT KILLS THE VIBE, AND THE INDIVIDUAL STOPS BEING PRESENT IN THE MOMENT. THE CONNECTION PEOPLE HAVE WITH THE MUSIC, AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CROWD AND THE DJ IS SOMETHING SPECIAL WHEN IT HAPPENS THE RIGHT WAY, AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE LOST."


CAN TECHNO STILL DISTURB, OR HAS IT BECOME TOO COMFORTABLE?

"OVER THE YEARS TECHNO HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MAIN GENRES WHERE PEOPLE CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY. DESPITE THIS, THE OLD VIEW OF TECHNO, WHICH WAS SEEN AS A KIND OF TABOO GENRE MAKING IT A DISRUPTIVE FORCE, IS SLOWLY FADING MAKING IT MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE. MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE SURROUNDING TECHNO."


IS INNOVATION IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC BEING LED BY SOUND, CONTEXT, OR ATTITUDE TODAY?

"IN THE LAND OF MAINSTREAM TECHNO, I BELIEVE INNOVATION IS BEING DRIVEN BY ATTITUDE. IN CERTAIN CASES, I FEEL THAT TECHNO NO LONGER CARRIES THAT FUTURISTIC VIBE ANYMORE – IT’S TRUE THAT THERE’S A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC COMING OUT BUT TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT EASIER FOR LESS MUSICALLY-MINDED ARTISTS AND HAS ALSO STIFLED HUMAN CREATIVITY. IT’S EASIER TO BUILD WHEN THERE ARE ALL THESE TEMPLATES AROUND.
AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, SOME SUPER TALENTED ARTISTS ARE PUSHING THROUGH THIS AND USING THE IMPROVED TOOLS TO GET EVEN MORE CREATIVE AND PRODUCE SOME AMAZING TECHNO SOUNDS."

Wish you all a wavy ride, TZUNAMI.
