Montania De Azucar!

For our 40th (!) entry into the PPRZ Podcast series, we have none other than Mina Mills rolling up with a 2 hour vinyl mix chocked full of gritty and soulful midwestern techno of the highest order.

Mina Mills is a Chicago based DJ and producer from Des Moines, Iowa. She plays techno and house music.

Description of mix: This mix was recorded using two Audio-Technica AT-LP120 direct drive turntables, one deck of a Numark Mixdeck Express and a Xone 62 mixer. This is the DJ equipment that I have access to and I've grown to really love it.

Four years and 100 shows later, he moved to Madison and started Below - a no-frills party series that focused on underground techno and house music. Today, he continues to operate as a crate digger and DJ, always searching for the next song or party to feed his inner child.

Milka is a DJ who is born in Bulgaria now based in Amsterdam. Milka fell in love with techno in Bulgaria but having lived in Chicago for ten years, Milka’s sound got developed by the underground in Chicago. Her sets focus on fostering a feeling of hypnotic therapy that is intended to put the listener under a trance like state that is meant to heal, move, and release.

Forged by warehouses and early morning dance floors, Moorhaus & Paul Gordon distill a sound that is murky, hypnotic, and channeled in the grit of the Midwest underground. As collaborators and the central figures behind Reciprocal Rhythm, their approach to DJing is less about genres and more about mood—pulling from the shadowy corners of house and techno to create deep, entrancing experiences that blur time and space.

In a special 3 hour mix for Research & Development, Matt & Paul dive deep into the sounds at the center of their dance floor experiences, built on rolling low-ends, tightly coiled rhythms, and squelching textures that nod to both the raw legacy of acid and the cerebral futurism of minimal. With a shared reverence for the dance floor’s potential for transcendental experiences, they channel the spirit of late-night Midwest sessions where strange voices, stripped-back drums, and slippery synths conspire to entrance the room.

This mix is a document of that shared language: a dive into the darker corners of their record bags, where tension simmers, grooves unfold slowly, and nothing is rushed. It’s music for dimly lit spaces and locked-in minds—a Midwest transmission shaped by passion, intention, and the long, strange hours between midnight and morning.

RND 137 - Moorhaus & Paul Gordon of Reciprocal Rhythm

Operator channels a stripped-down, hypnotic form of techno built on groove and atmosphere. His selections pulse with deep basslines, crisp percussion, and minimal textures that evolve without ever overwhelming the mix. Every set is a journey of subtle tension and low-end energy, keeping the floor locked in a steady, driving flow

RARE 111 - MIX 014 - NICK BURGESS

https://soundcloud.com/nickburgesstechno

Nick Burgess is a student of Detroit, prioritizing the groove while seamlessly weaving between deep acidic Techno hypnosis and punishing Industrial sonics. In the short time since making his debut, Nick has played every hour of the night across notable Detroit venues such as Leland City Club, Marble Bar and Tangent Gallery as well as making appearances at the Tec-Troit Electronic Music Festival and the Lollapalooza after party circuit in Chicago. 

He has shared the bill with the likes of Skee Mask, Headless Horseman, Black Asteroid, BMG, Terrence Dixon, The Brvtalist, and Underground Resistance artists like Mark Flash and Esteban Adame. As a producer, his hypnotic and abrasive productions have been released through labels PITS, Junted, Detroit Underground, Ominous Earth, Collapsed Structures and his co-owned label, Apocalypse Rave Culture.

This mix is an homage to the late-late hours of the night where only the strongest of techno soldiers remain standing. It kicks off with fast and intense sounds before slowly giving away to woozy psychedelia and ending on something a bit lighthearted and cheesy (in the best way) to shut it all down. You can almost envision the sunbeams coming through the cracks in the wall by the end of this ride.

RARE 111 - MIX 014 - NICK BURGESS

Chainletter is a producer/dj whose music serves as a bridge, uniting people through collective experiences in late-night wormholes. Whether using CDJs or an unsuspectingly minimal hardware rig, the audience can expect to be enveloped by sound. Focused primarily on ambient and techno, they use sequencers and synths to make time-expanding atmospheres and wonky rhythms.

Dedicated to DIY, they have been actively involved in playing and organizing parties in the Durham, North Carolina area since 2012 that aim to create safer dance spaces for queer and trans people, raise money for prisoners and other mutual aid projects while providing a platform to local artists outside of conventional venues.
