Juno Records Review:

"The ever-prolific Brendon Moeller returns with a third EP for Knotweed under his Echologist alias, treading the line between glitchy minimal, propulsive techno and dubwise immersion with flair and poise. There are some powerful, deeply submerged kicks to be enjoyed on 'Activation', but they're not just deployed as standard. On 'Concentrate' they might be more prominent, but still there's a sense of confident restraint in which Moeller can create captivating energy and a full-frequency experience without resorting to obvious tactics. For those who favour something a little more stimulating and subtle from their techno experience, this EP has everything you need."

UNTAPE017 – Sabine Hoffmann

Embark on a sonic journey with Stroef, the label owner and producer hailing from Amsterdam. The roots of this musical odyssey trace back 23 years to a high school moment when the legendary Jeff Mills' 'I Love Techno 1999' set resonated through a Walkman, introducing a sound that felt both alien and captivating.

Delving deep into the realms of house and techno, Surgeon's groundbreaking 'Force + Form' album and the eclectic sets by Dylan Drazen played a pivotal role in shaping Stroef's musical identity. However, it was the underrated brilliance of Claude Young, showcased in tracks like 'Rise,' 'Mara,' and 'Samba,' that left an indelible mark on his production style.

Versatility is the heartbeat of Stroef's mixes and productions—whether crafting Detroit-styled mixes, dub excursions, or acid-infused journeys. Yet, at the core, Detroit techno remains the heartbeat of his artistic expression.

As the helmsman of Boomstraat 1818, Stroef enjoys the liberty of curating releases from artists he admires. From the immersive sounds of Kuba Sojka to the soulful depths of Taho, each release on the label echoes the warm vibes of Detroit techno.

Stefan Vincent, a musical mentor and longtime friend of Stroef, guided him to Nightime Drama through a podcast for the label. Vincent's technical prowess and collaborative efforts have left an indelible mark on Stroef.

This mix is a captivating fusion of early '90s gems, unreleased productions by Stroef on Diffuse Reality, an acid journey with the Devoran alter ego, and timeless classics from UR.

Indulge in the sonic palette carefully curated by Stroef, where each beat and rhythm tells a story of the rich tapestry of techno's evolution.

Listen and immerse yourself.

[rauh_x 053] Jakob

We know Jakob, as part of our local scene for over a decade but lost touch over the years. This could be, because in addition to Hannover he is also at home in Santa Marta, Colombia. Thanks to Soundcloud we came across a recent mix, which immediately convinced us to invite him to our series. Luckily Jakob was happy to oblige. He told us his mix was inspired by memories of East European internet radio from the 2000s and 1990s Dubtechno, and traces their impact in contemporary music culture. Thank you https://soundcloud.com/jkb2k

Knotweed 056 Ultimata E.P.

KW056 - Coefficient - Ultimata

I had not really mixed the vinyl I acquired in the last 2-3 months. No real inspiration... 

After spending two days in Berlin over the weekend, I took my pile of fresh wax and came up with this new mix. No preparation, just a pile of recent wax waiting to be heard...  Fairly fast, quite tribal, inspired by the current sounds and images bouncing in my mind after a wonderful Berghain weekend. The inspiration is back!

All vinyl, but for a new unreleased track of mine.

Mountain Mix 82 (back from Berlin mix)

Here you can meet producers such as Vardae, Zara, Mordio, and also some artefacts from QEONE, NON series, Annuled Music, Blue Night Jungle. Prepared and presented for Tundra x Fantasmagoria event in Noce Krk. Enjoy"
