016 - MICHAEL IUS

(interview below)
For our 16th podcast episode we introduce you to the romanian DJ and producer Michael Ius who blends classical roots with a deep passion for techno.

INTERVIEW
You took classical guitar lessons for 14 years and studied music at university – what was the decisive moment or thought that led you to dedicate yourself entirely to techno production?

All my life I performed other people’s music, whether it was classical or pop. Later I was a guitarist in multiple cover bands. In 2012, I attended a music festival in Bucharest where Luciano was playing. It was melodic techno and it was also the first time I connected with myself on a deeper level. My musical synapses suddenly opened and I instantly fell in love with synthetic sounds. Loved the lowend and the punch! I started producing electronic music in 2016, step by step, and in 2023 I found my current sound and stayed consistent with it.

You're part of the Techno Diatom collective in Bucharest – how would you describe the collective's musical vision and vibe, and what makes your approach different compared to the international scene?

Me, together with Techno Diatom, wanted to bring something different to the local techno scene on a bigger scale. We wanted to actively promote it (via social media ads) to reach more people who like techno and let them know that a “new” subgenre is now present in Bucharest through Techno Diatom. Here in Bucharest and Romania in general, most techno events are focused on Rominimal (which is really good) with slow BPM, Tech House (very commercial), and Hardcore Techno (very fast). Nothing in between.
Compared to the international scene, there’s no real comparison – we’re basically inspired by the international Deep Raw Hypnotic Techno scene, and we’re grateful for that. Western Europe’s electronic music has been going on for generations, and here in Romania we’re just starting to scratch the surface.

In classical music, you work a lot with sheet notes, but these days you probably work more with software and sounds – how has your creative process changed since switching from sheet notes to electronic music production?

Having strong music theory behind me, plus jazz harmony and colorful chords, helped me understand a lot of things faster. I used that knowledge a lot when producing melodic techno in the beginning. But when I went deeper into the real underground minimal techno sound, the theory became useless. Techno has a lot of tension, and if you stay in key, it often sounds too static or melodic. Now the only thing I really use is the octaves. If you “play” the “lead” or “stabs” in the right octave, it works. Everyone can do this by analyzing techno tracks with a frequency analyzer, hovering the mouse on the frequencies when you hear something, and you’ll see in which octave it was played.

"I think if you can imagine what you want to create, it means that someone has done it
already. I want to explore new textures, new sounds. It’s all about improvisation." So runs the creative mantra of Lidvall, an artist whose immersive and pulverising productions stands as among the most innovative in the contemporary techno scene. Hailing from St Petersburg and now living in Spain, Lidvall is one of the artists I had always wished to include in the DYSTOPIA series, owing to the outstanding quality and impressive consistency of his output. In this episode I frame his music with some thoughts on movement in aesthetics before we delve into an interview covering his musical methodology, his increasing embrace of dancefloor oriented productions, as well as some recent controversies he has encountered releasing his music on a very well known techno label. As always, the episode is capped with a 30 minute mix of his finest productions. Hope you all enjoy the episode, meeting Lidvall, and his incredible music.

VETA. Mine Sound Extraction.

Veta Festival in an independent festival held in a former mining site surrounded by nature in Barruelo de Santullán, Spain. A sonic experience curated with care: live acts, DJ sets, and deep electronic explorations recorded underground.

Shared darkness. Precision under pressure.
This four-handed set by Atisbo vs. RVMDNTL distilled the densest, most mental strain of contemporary electronic music: heavy low-end, abrasive textures, and a tension that refused to break.

A session carved with surgical focus from the deep layers of sound — where bodies aligned with the tectonic pulse of the groove.
