KEYI MAGAZINE

Like that of the eponymous asphalt devourer he draws his name from, Jensen Interceptor has no time for obliging introductions and lame rides across techno dullsville. Well one to mash and smash, Mikey Melas' sound is entirely designed to sling a brick into the game's well-oiled mechanics by way of contribution. Having amassed an enviable amount of releases for some of the finest labels out there, including Maceo Plex's Lone Romantic, Cultivated Electronics, SolarOneMusic, UTTU, Central Processing Unit, Private Persons, Pinkman & his own label International Chrome co-founded with long time collaborator Assembler Code, and countless more, the Sydney born and raised whizz has long traded his worn out brakes for some hounding breaks, and made the acid rave playground his area of expertise, as asserted by the reactions triggered off by his live appearances at today's most renowned festivals and parties - literally tearing apart the likes of Dimensions, Tresor, Nuits Sonores and the late Concrete's ever picky dance floors upside down.
Speeding the Jupiterian highway for a routine, Jensen Interceptor guns for the weak-kneed and the bone-weary, luring the dancers shapeless mass into a house-of-god'esque lair to feed them on his volatile mixture of high-octane, Detroit-perfused electro, post Tour de France Kraut & EBM, and alien sounds sourced further afield. With a dozen 12-inches in as many months, needless to say 2018 has been a record-breaking year for Mikey, setting new standards for a producer who's been tirelessly gathering momentum; neither easing off the gas pedal in terms of studio grind, nor yielding to the main industry's distinct production standards. Unpigeonholeable by nature, the release of his highly anticipated debut full-length, 'Mother', on Lone Romantic crowned him as a producer with a much broader vision than the single/EP format ever allowed the short-stay listener to understand. Seismic bass bomber, hyper-reliable floor steersman, but above all a deadeye epic workout composer with a sixth sense for melody making: no mystery as to why artists such as Aphex Twin, Helena Hauff, Dave Clarke, DJ Stingray, Nina Kraviz and The Hacker have all come to endorse his music wholeheartedly so much JI is a safe, yet uncompromising bet. Strike hard, strike sure

Marsman @ Intergalactic FM Streaming festival 2021

better known as Reka, has blown up on the world stage since beginning out as a DJ more than 10 years ago. Since then, she’s become a long time resident at Tresor, embarked on a career as a producer ( her debut EP, Diving the Innermost came out on Phase Fatal’s BITE in 2018) and made the jump to Berghain. But there’s more to Mendez than being a connoisseur of all genres dark and hard-edged. In addition to being a DJ, Mendez is an entrepreneur and a science enthusiast. KEYI sat down to talk with her about her world before techno and the ways in which research and precision define her creative work and her extra musical life.

He began making electronic music in 2002. his music explores the relationship between sound and space. Tensions are interweaved with restrained emotions, and a sense of space running through the movement, can be felt - calm, solid, yet highly impressive.

Shao released a string of albums over the years, starting with his 2005 debut Mental Imagery. In 2015 he signed on as the first Chinese artists on legendary Berlin techno label Tresor, releasing his Doppler Shift Pt.1 EP that year and following up with a full album in October 2018.

Mick Wills started playing his beloved DJ sets about thirty years ago. In the early 90’s DJ Hell took note of his talent and got him aboard as a resident of the legendary days of International Deejay Gigolo.
As the selector of the whole era of dance music his sets might be better described as master classes.
Wills built up his reputation fast throughout the world and locally at places such as Ultraschall, Trouw, Golden Pudel, and Concrete. Mick Wills is also a dedicated producer.
Mick is a freak and an avid record collector playing like every night is his last. Again and again and again...

Comme Des Larmes invite Daniele Cosmo & Marsman

I've just recently been selected along with a couple of other artists as one of the new faces of Tresor berlin which gave me the best opportunity I've ever been and probably ever will get given - to play in the prestigious cage within the deep dark depths of Tresor on the 7th of September 2022. Now you can listen back to the machine magic that happened inside those walls that night !! ⛓️
 ----‐------------ ----‐------------ ----‐------------
When I listen back to this I can still feel the excitement and anticipation in the pit of my stomach as bodies started to move towards me through the smoke, right up until my last track when the crowd were climbing up onto the cage! The energy we shared with one another was something I will never ever forget and I want to thank each and every person that came and experienced it with me, and to the incredible hosts TRESOR and ENIGMA for allowing me the opportunity. It was and will always be the most special / monumental /incredible gig of my life and I'm so happy to be able to share it with you all again with this recording 🖤

It's also extremely rare that Electro is played in that cage so enjoy every 12,028 seconds of it!⚡️

EKATA | HÖR - Dec 2

It's been 4 years since we started the HD Mix series, featuring and hosting some of our best friends and favourite artists. We knew we had to make #100 a special one, and we couldn't think of anyone better to feature than electro-queen, Alienata!

We've been a massive fan of the @discos_atonicos honcho for years but were particularly blown away after seeing her live in the Hague at The Crave Festival in 2018, effortlessly blending between acid, electro, and techno.

As well as being a regular feature on many festivals and Berlins, infamous HOR bathroom, Alienata's record label has established itself as one of the most reputable imprints in modern-day electro, releasing with artists such as CYRK, w1b0, and The Spy, to name a few.

Massive thanks to all artists who have featured on the series to date, and here's to the next 100 🎉



Tracklist:

Fleck Esc - Out Of The Vox

Tiga - Easy (Der Zyklus - Quantum Matrix)

DL/MS - 이 기쁨 

Frankie Bones - Powder

Radio Slave, Nez - Wait A Minute (Mark Broom’s Return To The Rave Remix)

Dust Devices - Strain And Reason

Sean Deason - Interlude (Original Mix)



HD Mix #100 - Alienata

2022 has unarguably been a great year for Electro both with overall visibility for the genre as well as with the sheer number of quality releases being put out over the course of the year. This was also a year in which I took a break from my show and handed DJing responsibilities over to DJ friends from around the world. Couldn't be happier with how the year turned out for the show. I feel like It was a busy year both production-wise and promotion-wise for @DVSNME and @DarkScienceElectro respectively, however, I found some time to put together a mix of my favorite 22 tracks from 2022. Thanks to all the artists and DJs for the promos that made this mix possible. (@dvsnme December 16th, 2022)
