@nicolasvogler’s fascination for music stretches back far into his childhood. Born and raised in Londrina, southern Brazil, his musical journey first manifested itself in an admiration for punk and rock n’ roll.

Today, he is a producer, gaining renown through his own personal label NCLS as well as through recent releases on groove-focused techno labels such as Syxt Berlin, Drawner records or Hemisferio. From now on,  Nicolas’ tracks are played worldwide, especially by artists as Setaoc Mass or Ben Sims.

HYSPODCAST 034 — Mystics

Angioma @Room Trax, RSO.BERLIN, 17-05-23

"Punk is more an attitude than a style of music. And I think that techno is way more punk than punk." The Spanish DJ discusses the ethos of the underground, vinyl DJing and more on this week's Exchange from AVA Festival.

Héctor Oaks relocated from his hometown of Madrid to study at "Berlin University"—the clubs, record stores and underground parties that would shape his career as an artist. After once famously saying he could "live in peace" if he could play Berghain just once, the techno DJ has since graced the institution's dance floor multiple times and earned residencies at Herrensauna and Bassiani. Now one of a handful of in-demand, vinyl-only DJs, he's also a prolific artist and the head of two labels, KAOS and OAKS.

What makes Oaks especially interesting as an interview subject, though, isn't his newfound popularity, but the underlying ethos that drives his music career. A self-described "techno punk," he reflects on what happens to the punk ethos around the underground once the underground becomes mainstream. "When you see that you've worked for the underground and then the underground becomes pop, do you want to fight against it, or do you want to be part of it?" he asks. "We're not only carrying the music, but we're carrying the values."

In this interview, Oaks also talks about the art of playing vinyl, his new hip-hop project, working for the now-defunct Record Loft and his forthcoming album and live show. Listen to the episode in full.

Cirkle @Six D.o.g.s [Live Recording Stellar Athens 30.06.2023]

For this first podcast of the series i recorded liberation through rythm.

The approach was to keep it very minimalistic and keep the emphasis on the continuing groove. 

The opening is a bit slower and lower in intensity with more elements that bring you back to the origins of rythms. These tribal sounds go back to the very roots of where music began. 

Later in the set the momentum starts building and more hypnotic elements are added. The rythm keeps flowing as the foundation of this set. 

I hope you all enjoy.

Love Lumos
