Résident sur Line Out avec son émission "Newcomers" dans laquelle il invite celles et ceux qui font la nouvelle scène techno française, co-fondateur du label Askorn Records, il balaie un spectre musical large. De l’EBM au hardcore, de l’acid au break industriel, ses métissages musicaux allient rock, rap, métal à de puissants kicks, des mélodies envoûtantes teintées de textures industrielles. Un univers sombre et poétique qui reçoit l’appui de Paula Temple ou Parrish Smith. N'ayant plus aucune preuve à faire côté industrial, Opäk s'aventure désormais sur les territoires d'une techno plus mentale, extrêmement évocatrice, toujours en recherche d'innovation.

Assurément l'un des artistes les plus intéressants de la nouvelle scène électronique française.

Opäk - Mix @ Newcomers on Line Out Radio - 15.12.2023

DGTL MIX SERIES #125 - NØRBAK

Adam X's illustrious music career began in 1990 in Brooklyn, NYC, where he was born and raised. His earliest productions were released during this period, and he quickly gained momentum as one of the most adept DJs on the global underground techno scene.

Alongside pioneer and brother Frankie Bones, he opened the doors of Groove Records in Brooklyn as America's first true outlet for underground electronic music with a direct focus on the techno genre. The Groove Records team also took part in organizing the first techno events ever to take place in NYC, including the legendary Storm Rave that started in 1991. Storm Rave was the first all-techno warehouse party organized on the East Coast of America, featuring line-ups with many up-and-coming artists who would later become global techno cult figures.

The Sonic Groove label was born in 1995 at the upgraded Manhattan location of the shop (which also changed its name from Groove Records to Sonic Groove during the transition). Adam continues to operate the label in an exemplary and innovative way, with over one hundred releases to date, focusing on an assortment of techno music styles from many well established artists across the electronic music spectrum.

A unique perspective and acute knowledge of music can be recognized in his DJ and live sets, which have always retained a unique sense of an uncompromised approach to the dance floor. Adam's approach facilitated acid techno's dominance in the early to mid-nineties, and he nearly single-handedly put the Industrial and EBM Techno cross-over genres on the map for the first two decades of the millennium. Now, Adam returns to his purist techno roots with a hard but deep thought-provoking sound, one combines the past, present and future of this timeless music.

His Traversable Wormhole, ADMX-71, The Secret Initiative, Mass-X-Odus, and X-Crashed side-projects, along with his collaboration with co-conspirator U.K.-based artist Perc in their project AX&P, and with his techno life partner Maedon as Maedon-X on Tresor Records, have all strongly impacted the most discerning audiences.

Adam X has also released his own work on his seminal imprint, as well as releases on some of the most essential labels to exist, both past and present, such as Wax Trax!, Direct Drive, Magnetic North, Peacefrog, Drop Bass Network, CLR, Hands Productions, as well as preeminent contemporary labels like Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, L.I.E.S, Hospital Production, and Pinkman.

Adam currently resides in the electronic music capital of the world, Berlin, Germany. With unparalleled dedication, his activities never cease as he continues his individual tradition of operating on every vital level, from label activity to organizing events in the legendary Tresor club and performing in some of the world's most credible venues—a practice he has maintained since the early '90s. Adam X is a true force whose contribution has reached far into bringing the future forward for electronic music.

Afincado en Estocolmo/Suecia, Lakej [ Lækeɪ ] emerge de una larga herencia del techno sueco. Tras muchos años de exploración para refinar su sonido, debutó en el sello Grey Report con el EP en solitario Structural Cohesion.

GEM FM 325 DEVELOPER

This week's live stream mix goes from Techno (Temudo, Lewis Fautzi, Thanos Hana, and more) to Industrialized Techno (Scalameryia, UVB, Orphx...) back to Techno (Adam X, Maedon, Maedon-X)

As noted above, the last 20 or so minutes features an artist who is without a doubt my biggest inspiration....... Adam X. More than any other, Adam's music, his DJing, his impact on NYC and on Techno, his previous Sonic Groove (Groove Records) record store, and his still operational Sonic Groove Records label have for the last 30 years been a major inspiration for me. Just an FYI.

Catch a new live stream mix I will be doing every Wednesday at 7pm EST on digitalradio-247.com, or find the recording posted the next day on this platform, or on my HearThis.at page.

Techno, Art, and Technology. I've been involved in Techno since early 1993, and spent a lot of time between 92' and 01' driving from Boston to NYC (and back) chasing a specific sound, and as it turned out, was a part of some pretty memorable Techno events.  So many warehouse parties hosted by Sonic Groove, Mental Unity / Electronik Underground, and others throughout those decades.  

After 2001 the Techno scene pretty much collapsed for a few years in NYC, due to issues related to the Sept 11th attacks, such as artists having issues obtaining a US visas, the world economy, pointless wars, and a collectively paranoid government.  Boston (my home) never really had a well established Techno scene before 2012 or so.  But Manchester N.H. sure did, between 1993 and 2001. Thanks to N.E.A.U. ("New England Acid Underground", circa 1993-95) which then became N.E.W. ("New England Works", circa 1995-2001) which focused on underground Techno, hosting many epic warehouse parties, and became a base for a diverse group of people from various backgrounds, many of which I had grown close to in those years. This collectively represented what I felt was my "home base" at the time, fulfilling my strict preferences within electronic music, and of course the quality of the people.  We had a good link with the Sonic Groove crew down in NYC between 1993 and 2000, shared some great events, and I learned a lot about music, DJing & composing.  I'll never forget that early Manchester, NH scene, or all of the people involved that helped to establish it each in their own way, nor will I forget all of the amazing people in New York City who welcomed us, shared with us some unbelievable sounds, hosted some of the most memorable events, and hosted such a dizzying array of talented artists from around the globe.  

I'm still plugged into Techno today, of course, but established groups are hard to come by in Boston, and many from NYC have moved on to Europe where they can make a living and thrive in it's long-established Techno scenes.  Thankfully one of the most active and Techno focused groups has been doing great things in the Boston area over the last five or six years, (INFRA Boston), more than any point I can recall anyway. I am thankful that Boston is finally flexing it's Techno muscles, because this crew has brought in some serious goods from around the world.  So even with everything going on the last few years, I feel that my region of the world is looking as bright as ever when it comes to the music that I love.    Pure Techno.....
