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

KEYI MAGAZINE:Jensen Interceptor #008

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.

KEYI MAGAZINE : REKA LIVE RECORDING FROM OMBRA FESTIVAL #009

Shao Yanpeng aka Shao, previously known under the moniker Dead J, is considered to be one of China’s most important electronic music artists. He was born in 1981 and resides in Beijing. 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. While he performs his live set in festivals across China mainland as well as at international festivals over 20 countries.

KEYI MAGAZINE: SHAO #010

Our first mix of 2022 opens with multi-talented journalist, producer, and DJ Chloé Lula. After over a decade contributing to the electronic music scene as a curator, DJ, and label-head, Chloé took on producing in 2019 after a month-long residency with Drew McDowall from Coil. Her debut EP ‘Errant Bodies’ released on Berlin-based label aufnahme + wiedergabe last year is a collage of heavy-hitting EBM, industrial, and techno electronica - raw, gritty, and dancefloor oriented, a sonic sentiment she translates into her DJing, her monthly residency ‘No Exit’ on Refuge Worldwide, and her mix for Endless Illusion. In addition to her work as a musician, Chloé is passionate about gender justice, LGBTQ+ and human rights, migration and mutual aid, as well as their intersection with music, culture, and nightlife. You can find her writing on Refuge Worldwide, a radio station that amplifies these issues (and much more) and a number of major international publications. She spoke with Jonáš about inequalities in the music industry, new horizons for Resident Advisor, the art of DJing, and her studio setup and upcoming music.

WAREHOUSE PODCAST 99 - LARIONOV

The centennial podcast of this series is brought to us by Morah. At some point in his career, the dark prince of Athens and resident of the Phormix label and event series achieved a unique and iconic status with his unconventional take on gritty electronic music that transcends genres. The first time we experienced this in the flesh was in the old Griessmuehle location on the Sonnenallee in 2019 and were blown away.

Whether it was his debut release on Helena Hauff's label, or the many life-changing performances over the years that are well-documented, his body of work speaks for itself as he graces labels such as Berceuse Heroique, Vanila, Brokntoys, Lux Rec, and most recently on Body Musick as well as a self-released album called Zesta. He's captained the Phormix event series as a resident and is a core part of the Athens crew whose label boasts some of the most exciting releases coming out. He's added another time-lasting performance to his list during the most recent DT Camp two weeks ago. It should be no surprise that we invited him as a special guest for our ADE event together with Pinkman Records on October 19th and can't wait 

These are trying times for all with many significant global events taking place almost daily. With this as the backdrop, we hope this series has brought some enjoyment. Thank you very much to the artists that have contributed to the series over the last two years and to the listeners for tuning in every week. We look forward to seeing all of you on the dance floor. For now, we invite you to enjoy this selection from one of our favorite artists out there. Lock in!
