Ho ho ho, the mystery-shrouded Rrose - named after Marcel Duchamp’s eponymous persona, punches in right on cue for Xmas with an absolute monster of a two-hour jaunt into their exquisitely twisted headspace. Having served up some of the finest techno slabs of the past decade through the likes of Sandwell District, Stroboscopic Artefacts and now their own dedicated imprint, Eaux, Rrose steps in the series with a bonkers mix of dusty techno hustle-and-bustle, neatly alternating sequences of pumping 4x4 aerobatics, searing, noise-adjacent outbursts and eerie melodies to hypnotic effect. A constant balancing act of raw power and haunting score, Rrose’s RYC mix takes us on a deep and fascinating trip into genre-unbound territories, where only abandon and wildness reign supreme. Happy EOY celebrations, y’all! See you in 2024.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 571 | Rrose

Directions: Meaning & Truth

Potential

The 10 year celebration continues with a hybrid live recorded set from German dab hand Vril. Much of his work, like the metaphysical and culturally seminal substance from which he took the name, is heavy on duality, hard and gentle, vibrating with machinelike power and shot through with a raw and often tender emotion. It’s a calculation that has yielded some of the most unforgettable sounds of recent times, 2018’s heavy-hitting Anima Mundi or last year’s Animist have lost none of their soul-stirring resonance, and his purist techno reaches far beyond his published work. Live and in flow state, he carries just as strong a charge, a frothing, fulgurant techno that invokes awe and measures in colossal proportions. Leave aside collabs with Rødhåd and Sebastian Mullaert for Circle of Live, though the magic’s there too. It’s an arcane and ghostly sound that burrows into the soul and leaves its mark, and in his scores of fans and 51 toured countries, it has. For Bassiani Podcast 237 the haunting power of his work finds form in 92 minutes of visceral techno that rolls from crystalline form to brooding storm. The sound of a new world dawning just beyond our current horizon.

Umwelt Presents Ravoluson  / Episode 29

US-born and Berlin-based, Dustin Zahn has been a force in techno’s global underground for over two decades. His sound is punishing yet precise—big-room power shaped by hypnotic loops, sharp sound design often layered with haunting vocals and an unshakable sense of momentum.

With releases on Blueprint, Rekids, and his own imprints—Enemy Records and the American-rooted Abiotic Recordings— Zahn’s output is consistently high-caliber. Behind the decks, from Berghain to basements,  his work is a masterclass in high-impact techno that never sacrifices depth.

For Podcast #243, he delivers a 2.5-hour journey that doesn’t let up. No compromises. Just techno.

Vault Sessions #243 - Dustin Zahn

Pleased to introduce my opening set for Unfold
30.03.24
Short prehistory:
From the moment I moved to London in '22, Unfold became my first stop as techno dance. Back then, I had no clue it was the ultimate place to fully lose yourself in dance, with proper techno, flawless sound, and lighting that sets the scene. But @fold.ldn more than a club, it's a true community - one big, cozy family
So, welcome to my set. From the very start, the room was packed, the crowd generous - dancing, cheering, exchanging energy that made the night truly special. Huge thanks for the incredible hospitality and the careful supervision behind the decks, making every moment feel effortless. @voicedronee @jamesnewmarch
I have to confess, my set wasn't perfect. Maybe that's impostor syndrome talking. But I slipped up - I got fixated on one track and wanted to play it no matter what. And I did. But still, some tracks you obsess over just have to sit tight and wait their turn - one day or maybe never
But what truly made the night unforgettable was the people. My friends - those who came to support me - and the amazing souls I met that night, you brought the energy that lifted everything higher. Without you, it wouldn't have felt the same. Your presence, your vibes, your cheers - they turned the music into a full-on experience. Thank you for being there, for dancing, for sharing this moment with me :)

REC 34 w/ Ancient Methods b2b UVB

Back in August 2024, in the final stretch of summer, Ancient Methods b2b UVB took us on a three-hour ride to the end of time and back. A post-industrial vortex pulled us in, where deep mechanical grooves met tight rhythmic control in a set that was both punishing and hypnotic. The pacing was expertly crafted, grinding tension, explosive peaks, and moments of eerie restraint, all delivered with a raw, analog-driven energy that kept the floor locked in. Enjoy an extract of their journey right here.
