DATASMOK is an alias of Rave veteran @albert_van_abbe showcasing his roots in the Dutch underground squat- & Tekno scene. A raw niche that he was intimately involved with during the early 2000’s, performing live-sets at illegal raves throughout Europe where playing countless hours knee-deep in mud for dogs on acid was the norm.

The DATASMOK project was kickstarted by default when Guy Tavares and Albert decided to release archived tracks from van Abbe on Tavares' Bunker Records, a label Albert has been working with since 2007. Ever since Reaktor-events got wind of the project and asked DATASMOK to close their event Kartharsis at the Elementenstraat Warehouse in Amsterdam, DATASMOK requests have kept rolling in. 2017 is seeing a brand new DATASMOK E.p. on Bas Mooy's MORD as well as a Penik Ettek / DATASMOK split on rave imprint Repitch.

Scalameriya is an eccentric producer, sound designer, live-act and DJ known for unparalleled skills.
Being gifted with hyperphantasia, he operates at the threshold of madness through unshakable obsession and a near-mythic discipline that drives him beyond the limits most dare not approach.
In a volatile industry that is plagued by repetition and mediocrity, he remains an anomaly immune to trends and a paragon of authenticity with a sound unmistakably his own.
He further contributes to the electronic music scene as the co-founder of Void+1 Recordings, a label established in 2023 that quickly garnered attention for its diverse catalog that showcases a range of subgenres, from industrial to minimal, reflecting his broad, cross-genre vision of the scene.
Scalameriya's individuality and ritualistic discipline have unsurprisingly proven to be effective, earning his uncompromising and highly refined body of work a place in the catalogs of some of the most influential record labels of the underground, while each of his performances reaffirms the reputation of a skill-demon. An architect of the future, your favorite artist’s favorite artist and an unstoppable force of nonconformity.

Biography :
Born out of a deep friendship in 2013, Möd3rn was established as a live act channeling the raw energy of techno through pure improvisation. The project was initially founded by Electric Rescue, later joined by Maxime Dangles and Traumer. Eventually, Kmyle and Moteka joined the ensemble. Together, they transcend individual artistry to create a shared musical experience, where every performance becomes a unique journey into the organic and instinctive sounds of techno.

The essence of Möd3rn lies in the synergy of its members, each bringing their unique talents.  Electric Rescue, a pivotal figure in the French rave scene and the visionary behind Skryptöm, along with Moteka and Kmyle, contribute to a collective force that thrives on collaboration rather than competition. Although Maxime Dangles and Traumer have since moved on to other artistic pursuits, their contributions have left behind a lasting legacy and a resilient, innovative foundation for the group.

With over a decade of experience. At the core of Möd3rn is their live performance, the heart of the project. Their sound is a blend of raw yet nuanced energy—a pulsating maelstrom that captures the essence of techno with both intensity and subtlety. Every performance is entirely improvised, as the group connects an array of machines—synthesizers, drum machines, computers, effect pedals, modular setups—into a large analog mixing board, creating an unfiltered and spontaneous techno experience. This approach allows them to interact directly with their audience, crafting unique moments in clubs and festivals that are unrepeatable and born in the moment.

From the intimate setting of the Rex Club to the expansive stages of international festivals, Möd3rn’s journey is one of exploration and expression. Their performances transport audiences into a world where the boundaries of techno are continuously pushed and redefined. Central to their identity is their record label, through which they release albums that reflect their collective vision.

As they continue to evolve, Möd3rn stands as a testament to the power of friendship and improvisation—a living, breathing entity fueled by a shared passion for music and a commitment to creating genuine, unfiltered moments of connection through techno.

The cohesive array of depth charged devices that Anthony Linell has produced is formidable. From his opening statements as Abdulla Rashim on his early label of the same name, right through to his recent work that puts his aliases aside, there is a robust and rigorous intent that compounds the elemental strategies of techno's models to apprehend his singular vision.

Presiding over Stockholm's Northern Electronics label with Varg (Jonas Rönnberg), Linell dispenses with mechanisms of attention on all fronts. Marked by an indefatigable self-reliance, the label presents exactly what it means to display, and no more. Carving an idiosyncratic platform for his music is as great of a warning as there could be that Linell's leveraging little toward the benefit of the audience. By his measure, the familiarity and comfort of contemporary techno is stripped back to its rushing heart, the senses left tailgating the strobe in a fit of intuition over decision. The greater this is exposed the colder it gets, and its in these extremes that Linell's caustic rhythmic precision hits. Live, it comes off as a galvanizing strike from the outside; analysing the room as a DJ, it's a case of being pursued through the dark.

Just as the brevity of Linell's output in the eyes of techno is exalted as it is brought into focus, the background to this blurs as you start to decipher his other projects. Lundin Oil skirts the fringes of noise and experimental music, and in collaboration with Varg as Ulwhednar, this is perhaps even more pronounced.

Purposively ricocheting between the techno world and experimental electronic music, Linell forges a distinct passage that gathers the aesthetically uncompromising motifs and missions from across this spectrum. It's this combination and resolve that's brought Linell to the world's attention, however little that attention has been solicited.

OBSCUUR stands as the leading powerhouse for high energy dance music. Based in Berlin and Amsterdam, we drive the scene with millions of streams each month and a roster of hundreds of visionary artists, bringing fast-paced sounds to a global audience — fueled by ADA / Warner Music to push our sound.

Now an established force in contemporary Techno, Mike Bierbach, better known under his stage name Rødhåd is someone who has seriously put in the work. Having cut his teeth DJing as a relatively unnoted (but well loved by those in the know) local in Berlin for 10 years, one could argue that by the time success knocked on his door, he was more than ready for playing the international stage. It was during these 10 years of obscurity when he refined his craft to become the singular DJ he is now. 

Launching his party-series-turned-label Dystopian in 2009 was what truly tipped the ball over for Rødhåd. In a time where the Berlin scene was heavily oversaturated by fluffy, miscellaneous dance music, he & his peers set out to form a platform for real techno. The reception to this was raucous. 

Although he has lauded productions and remixes to his name, DJing is his true forte. Before abandoning his day job as a draftsman in construction “The Red” (as some call him due to his gingered, bearded appearance) was known for playing very long sets in Berlin’s most notorious hideaways. 

With an album, several EPs & remixes for a multitude of different artists under his belt, Rødhåd the producer has received equal praise as Rødhåd the DJ. Dystopian has hosted most of his releases, but in 2018 he founded a new label WSNWG that serves as a home for collaborative productions, excavated in sessions at his East-Berlin studio with his peers such as Lucy, Alex.Do, & Antigone.
