Elata Series 005 with Alberto Tolo

Alberto Tolo is a DJ and producer from Padua, Italy, who started his musical journey in the early 2000s.
Known for his very distinctive sounds, mixing tribal elements and raw percussive sounds, Alberto Tolo creates a whole new universe within the techno scene. His sound is a succession of sharp, very club-oriented rhythms, leading to a mesmerising sonic experience, in which you can let yourself be immersed in very powerful grooves.

Alberto Tolo launched his own label ALT in 2022, in which he releases his own productions, with a particular attention to detail and a very well-identified idea of ​​techno represented by distorted and rare sounds.

He is also a resident of the Berlin collective Demolition Berlin for whom he plays in Berlin. He has also played on several occasions for the well-established Vault Sessions in Amsterdam and for different events across Europe.

Alberto Tolo is one of those artists that we have always loved listening to and whose tracks are always in our playlists.

Thank you Alberto for being part of the Elata journey, looking forward for more collaboration in the near future !

Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Lasse has been making steady waves in the city’s underground, balancing a no-frills, club-ready sound with a deeper commitment to community and expression. As co-founder of Vulged, an event series rooted in intimacy and integrity, and 1/5 of the Undivulged collective, he’s built his reputation not just behind the decks, but through fostering spaces where freedom and sound collide.

With high-octane releases like Sphinx, The Bush, and Rogue, Lasse has laid down his sonic fingerprint defined by heavyweight low-ends, gritty synthwork, and hypnotic propulsion. Whether self-released or spun across the scene’s more daring dancefloors, his tracks speak in strobe language: direct, punchy, and built for motion.

For #256, he delivers a set that doesn’t ask politely; it commands. Shuffling between pressure-cooked grooves and glinting synth tension, Lasse takes the long route to euphoria, with a few detours through the sweatier corners of the rave.

Get in, hold tight, and let the mix speak for itself.

ANTIDOTE

'something that counteracts an unpleasant feeling or situation'

Podcast 108 features our co-founder Rens, also known as VSSR. Rens started ANTIDOTE back in 2020 with this mix series, created to spotlight local & upcoming techno artists. After 5 years, it was about time to be featured on the series himself!

VSSR’s sound has evolved through different phases, landing on a vision that merges 90s-inspired techno with today’s new-school edge: loopy, percussive, and driving. This set is his ode to the dance floor: dark & eerie, yet rhythmic & bouncy.

Enjoy this one hour by VSSR!
