☉ About Irazu:
Irazu (Madrid, 1989) finds in electronic music a vehicle for self-exploration and sonic expression, a way to uncover his identity and emotions.
His journey in the scene began as a promoter of events in Madrid, but he soon discovered that music production and releasing records were essential outlets to channel his artistic vision. His early works were released on Stale, Kastil’s label, collaborating with artists such as Acronym, Regis, Pessimist, and Kastil himself. In 2018, he released the mini-album Study for Portrait, showcasing his personal take on techno.
Following several releases on labels like Hooded, Artificial Intelligence, and 30drop, as well as producing remixes, Irazu released his EP 140.15 on Stale. However, it was in 2022 when he presented his debut album, Anything Exist Anymore, on Semantica Records. This album delved into melancholic soundscapes while staying rooted in techno and enriched by a broad spectrum of influences.
In 2023, Irazu took a step further with Self-Medicating, his second album released on Warm Up Recordings, Óscar Mulero’s label. This work, the most aggressive and dark in his career to date, marked an evolution into more unsettling and introspective sonic territories.
Irazu’s influences span key regions in the evolution of techno and experimental electronics: from the West Midlands in the UK to the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain. Artists such as Regis, Svreca, Autechre, Donato Dozzy, Óscar Mulero, Luke Slater, and Surgeon have shaped his sound, alongside pioneers of industrial and experimental electronics like Throbbing Gristle, Whitehouse, Einstürzende Neubauten, and Coil.
Irazu’s sound can be described as an intimate space where tension and false tranquility coexist—a constant exploration of new horizons that reflects his relentless artistic pursuit.

Sight For Sore Eyes - Mastered

How would you describe your sound?
Rooted in modern techno and touched by classic influences, our sound grows from the atmosphere of each venue and the energy of its crowd. Every set aims to be raw yet uplifting, guiding listeners into a hypnotic flow where the music and the moment become one. 

Which artists inspire you?
scene legends like DVS1, producers like AADJA, local 
heroes like Vincent Neumann and the endless Clubnights
at Berghain on a Monday morning. 

Are there any upcoming Gigs, releases, projects?
Our debut at the Global Space Odyssey this year and a 
self-curated event at Werk II with our collective 
LPZG Callin in October.

A word from Jessie Granqvist : 

Our own musical universe
We travelled on the silk road 
Life was an experiment
We went to space hand in hand
Floating on waves of music 
Side by side
The holes went deep
We found ourselves in weird, evil places
You always turned the darkness into comedy or beauty
We played music for the zombies
We danced with the devils
We turned them into friends
Never went to sleep
Forever young
Just a boy but like a professor, a mad professor
Just a boy but already a legend
A musical genius and a dear friend
I meet you in music all the time
But I still miss you
This is the sound of our time

Plasma Disco was the alias my friend Alfred (aka Timpleton) and I used when we played and made music together. We got the name from one of our favorite tracks, Samuli Kemppi – Plasma Disco. This mix includes some of our demos as Plasma Disco, as well as unreleased music from Alfred’s unreleased album - Geology That I found on a lost hard drive as well as music we played during our era and tracks that I found later on that I want to play for Alfred.

The next mix in our series comes from Portuguese-born, Rotterdam-based DJ and producer Valody (@val0dy). Over the course of one hour, she delivers one warm dub techno gem after another, starting at 118 BPM and gradually building up to 131 – what a great idea, what a great mix! Thank you, Valody.

Gannein - Time Will Tell [GNRL001]

This new EP represents a powerful, mature step in my work. It’s a project that showcases bold choices and a readiness to explore new sounds. The goal was to create music that is both immensely powerful and full of emotional depth—a sound designed to fill big rooms without losing its feeling.
The project unfolds as a sonic journey.

We start with the tribal groove of "Come Closer," move into the big-room techno of "Time Will Tell," and then take a surprising turn with the dubstep-techno fusion of "Reframe." The EP culminates with a dark, hypnotic remix by FVKS, making it a perfect tool for any DJ's late-night set.

Tracklist

Gannein - Come Closer: This track is built on a loopy, hypnotic techno beat. A subtle, whispered vocal adds a seductive, raw groove that gets under your skin.

Gannein - Time Will Tell: A pure, relentless techno track designed for the big room. Its patient, building loop and cinematic sound design create a cathartic energy for the dance floor.

Gannein - Reframe: This track is a purposeful departure, blending the deep, haunting bass of early dubstep with psychedelic techno layers. It's a hypnotic journey for adventurous DJs.

Gannein - Reframe (FVKS Remix): FVKS reworks the original into a powerful, hypnotic weapon for the main floor. Centered on a vicious kick and brutal low end, the hard-hitting percussion creates a relentless force.

Gannein - Time Will Tell [GNRL001]

The twenty fourth transmission from RYC comes courtesy of not one, but two artists we greatly admire. Joining forces on a split truly like no other, Japanese maestro Wata Igarashi and Munich’s own multi-faceted genius Polygonia step up with the magnetic ‘Cross Passage’ - a four-track journey at the junction of their respective universes, teleporting us straight to a propulsive, mind-expanding headspace as we’re invited to explore sonic territories still uncharted and harmonics yet unravelled.

The collaborative A-side begins with the dynamic title-track, ‘Cross Passage’, a proactively future-facing number packing the kind of utopian drive that used to define the original techno sound. A highly cinematic narrative boasting Detroit-style vision and epic breath, ‘Cross Passage’ builds bridges between hi-tech elation and organic integration, transcending mere functionality to push back and expand the limits of techno as a deep communication vessel between the individual and the mass. Firing off like a binary script gone astray, ‘Fibre Axis’ takes us on a further bumpy ride across shape-shifting interfaces and blurred-out digital scapes, via abrupt pixel landslides and fractured 3D renderings.

Side-B finds each producer dishing out a slice of his/her own musical idiom. Polygonia strikes first with the pulsating ‘Voltage Blues’ - a mesmeric roller cut from pure eerie synth algebra, boundary-pushing abstraction and surgical but experimental-leaning rhythmic assault. The result is a piece of cutting-edge techno hoodoo, ready to take on clubs with utmost abrasive swagger. Sniping a hail of rainbow-like analogue synth outpour, Wata Igarashi’s solo contribution ’The Tunnel Dreams’ rounds off the journey on a fiercely nonconformist note. Merging a hard-hitting main swing with 8-bit-esque audio pointillism and brooding bass undertones, the Japanese producer cuts a path of antigravitational abandon and relentless rush towards absolving euphoria, which shall leave all in the room levitating somewhere between sheer daze and love-thirsty XTC.

*Clad in the sleekest cover art courtesy of designer Atact, RYCL024 is pressed to red & white marbled vinyl for you, fancy platter collectors and picky audio-visual aesthetes alike.

Clarence Rise is a French producer, DJ, and live artist exploring the intersections of Deep & Hypnotic, DnB, and Ambient. His sound design is organic and textured, shaped by intricate and subtle nuances. Carefully crafted yet instinctive, his productions drive you where sweat meets precision.

Guided by a deep connection with nature and the complexities of the psyche, his music shifts between darkness and light, sometimes raw and powerful, sometimes introspective and fragile. Each performance and release is a pursuit of emotion in its purest form, carried by intent and subtle intensity.

Merci, Clarence.
