To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Berlin Techno scene : BORIS

Boris is kind of a charismatic, multifunctional weapon in the Berlin club life. His musical roots reach back to the mid 80s, when he lived in New York for four years where he absorbed the unique spirit of the seminal club Paradise Garage weekend after weekend. From the Club’s mentor Larry Levan Boris learned to believe in his musical intuition as well as a broad musical spectrum, which nowadays ranges from Disco, Hi-NRG, Post-Punk and (Kraut-) Rock to House and Techno, all of which Boris loves to throw into one set. “Music was most important for Levan. He was uncompromising and he knew how to convey it. That’s what I’m trying to achieve, too, when I’m djing.”

After the old OstGut/Panorama Bar closed in 2003, Boris played in almost every club in Berlin, but when the follow up club Berghain opened its doors in 2004, he quickly focused on playing out here again. From 2005 till 2010 he had another musical platform, as he was taking care of the label Careless Records as an A&R. As a DJ, he is not exactly keen on refining a certain genre, but rather to push music with a certain twist.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #152 -- BORIS

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ fr.JPLA

fr.JPLA ( Insitut fuer Zukunft, Rillendisco, ://whatever, female:pressure ).
"I was 20 years old when I was first properly introduced to
electronic music. My musical background only consisted of having played “professionally” the recorder flute during my childhood, but not much apart from that.
I even recorded a few tapes back then, but mostly to satisfy my technical curiosity.
As soon as I was old enough though, I started traveling to nearby nightclubs and parties in larger cities with my friends. While others preferred dancing to Monica Kruse, I found myself more and more drawn towards the Schranz-floor. Although back then I hadn’t yet entirely grasped the importance that techno music would play for
me in the future.
At 24 I got hooked on Homo Elektrik, a party-collective from Leipzig, and my then girlfriend animated me to try out dj-ing. I bought myself two Technics mk2, that I still own today, got gifted a Gemini technomaster, and acquired myself a Vinyl bundle in 4/4 time.
Techno music is such a multifaceted music genre, so that I decided to stay faithful to it ever since. I only do Techno, 4 to the floor, it makes me very happy, especially when two different tracks mix and fuse together and start to groove." fr.JPLA

VNNN. for DifferentSound Podcast #266.

Welcome back to DifferentSound Podcast Series, where we delve into the depths of electronic music and bring you the freshest sounds from around the globe. Today, we're thrilled to feature an artist who's been making waves in the techno scene, none other than Almedin Alibegovic, known by his moniker 'VNNN.'

Since the foundation of The Third Room in 2017, Almedin Alibegovic aka 'VNNN.' has been an integral part of the Essen-based collective. Alongside his colleague and mentor Ahmet Sisman, he not only stamps his mark on the collective's vision but also serves as a role model for a new generation of faces emerging in the Ruhr Area's techno scene. Originally conceived as a side project for Almedin's musical development, 'VNNN.' has evolved over time, transforming the Bosnian-born, now Essen-based artist into one of the most promising acts in and around the Ruhr Area.

As we embark on this sonic journey with VNNN., let his music serve as a reminder of the boundless possibilities of electronic expression and the transformative power of sound. So sit back, relax, and let the hypnotic beats of VNNN. take you on a voyage like no other. This is DifferentSound Podcast, and this is VNNN.

DifferentSound invites Operator (Southsea)

The DifferentSound Podcast #288 welcomes Operator! Operator is the alias of UK Techno artist Rich Jones, who has been DJing since the late 90s and producing since the early 00ʼs. After signing multiple successful 12” E.Pʼs to Soma, 8 Sided Dice and appearing on Richie Hawtinʼs Minus, Rich moved away from the trendy big room sound of the time and created Operator in 2012, to let his creative hair down and experiment with a wider sonic palette. This led to well received vinyl E.Pʼs on Audio Assault and Singular initially, and more recently releases on Mindtrip, Symbolism and a 12” LP on Mord. Rich also runs Gnosis Records, which he reserves for his more quirky and weird creations, occasionally veering into house flavours. Being from the UK, where in the early 00ʼs house and techno were often happy bed fellows, this influence is clear in his heavily groovy, swung style. Although always keeping abreast of current trends, Rich mostly focuses on a timeless ‘keep it different, keep it groovyʼ approach, with a penchant for heavy drums, subtle details in the sequence and lots of analog texture.  Noticeable gigs for Rich have included Tresor, Fold, Corsica Studios and Forsage, but for various reasons in the interest of health Rich has hung up his headphones for the foreseeable future. Rich continues to work tirelessly in the studio, though, and has many forthcoming projects in the works, including an E.P on the venerable Ilian Tape, a second release on Ben Simʼs Symbolism and a 12” on Pleistocene Future along with various plans for Gnosis.
