Juan Sanchez at Time Warp Holland 2014

A true pioneer of the techno scene, Italian DJ and producer Gaetano Parisio needs no introduction but we'll just underline that since his first steps in the then-burgenoning electronic world back in 1992, his influence on the sound hasn't flinched one bit. Responsible for countless seminal releases on the likes of Primate, Zenit, Mosaic, his own structures Conform, ART and Southsoul and a myriad more, Gaetano has been pushing techno in new directions with ultimate drive and devotion to duty. Clocking in with a two-hour trip into his boundary-pushing headspace, the Neapolitan maestro treats us to a wild ride of trampling uptempo funk, sci-fi-indebted flights and further alien-engineered heaters. The forward-looking power of rave in its purest expression.

I have uploaded the recording of my set at Ratherlost last New Years Day to my Soundcloud. My connection with them goes back to the days of Reaktor where i was happy to be a resident for 5 years. In my opinion Ratherlost today is the top promotor when it comes to serious techno in Amsterdam and it was a huge honor to be back with them again. Expect some old, some new and some strange music from the likes of Chlär, OFF / Grid, Cravo, Malin Genie, DisX3, Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull, Yanamaste, Vilchezz, Pacou, Steve Rachmad among others!

Exos, one of the frontmen of Iceland's techno scene, has released over thirty vinyl records and four albums, with notable contributions to labels like Tresor, Mutual Rytm, and Figure. His iconic album "My Home is Sonic" was reissued in 2015 and recognized as a modern dub techno classic, cementing his reputation in the global scene. This spring, Exos is launching his long-awaited single "Clean Cut" on his label Planet X, reissuing his classic album Strength, and later this year, he will release his 5th album "Sweet Dreams" on Mutual Rytm.

In this mix, Exos features 100% only his own music—old, new, unreleased, forthcoming, and recently released tracks. Some of these are unmastered and were quickly recorded directly from the project files. This is Exos' first online mix showcasing only his own music, featuring 66 tracks across a 2-hour-long journey, which includes collaborations and remixes with artists like Blawan, Jon Hester, Ruxpin, Electric Rescue, Nikita Zabelin, Gus Gus, Lafontaine,  Lars Huismann, Danny Wabbit, and Gus Gus. The mix starts with deep dubby grooves, transitions into more tribal rhythms, picks up speed, and ends in techno mayhem.
