Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ – movement. This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. However the mechanical framework is – no more, no less – a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.

HÖR DJ Set 7 March 2023

Techno breakfast in the vault ~ recording of my closing set for @subvertedscene's New Faces at @tresorberlin, March 2023.

The set isn't perfect but the morning dancers and I had a lot of fun and that's what matters to me ultimately <3 Thanks to @hybral for the invite!

Ōtone @ Tresor Berlin 2023 [hosted by Subverted]

Sinewing through wiggly bass and jacking club numbers, Ōtone's Lecken set—served at our last pre-sabbatical rave in ÆDEN in November 2023—settles into an uncompromising dish of hardgroove and funky techno. A 2+ hour confident and multi-textured percussive score from a DJ and producer close to our hearts and dance floors for many years already. @otonenoto

Ismcast Presents 079 - Ōtone

Next Episode of Abaddon Podcast with Years of Denial

The duo creates a deeply immersive atmosphere, and is abundantly vigorous to keep dancers on their toes and moving from the night’s darkest corners to the dawn of day.

Years of Denial is the alter-face of French musician / DJ / producer Jerome Tcherneyan and Czech performance artist / DJ / producer Barkosina Hanusova. With the use of hardware combined with vocals and a plethora of dub devices, YOD are re-visiting the dark corner of Post Punk, Industrial music movement and Rave culture.

Their live Electro performances fuse repetitive beats and pulsating arpeggios with heavy electronics and spacey psychedelic sonic treatment.
Barkosina’s voice echoes and oscillates against snares, profound and wounded at once. Her dark romanticism and narrative poetry take us to unknown yet familiar places. The duet operate on the dance floor without anesthetic creating an excursive electrifying shady atmosphere.

Both influenced by Isolationism, they also perform improvised cinematic Ambient sets with the use of modular synths and processed vocals. They draw upon the darker and profound stimulus of experimental music, creating an immersive and dramatic imaginative space.
