012 - BENABOU

(interview below)
- This set was recorded at Tresor Berlin -
Benabou emerged from Europe’s vinyl labyrinths into the vibrant world of techno. Influenced by labels like Token, Polegroup, and Hypnus, her experimental sound blends ambient, ethereal synths with early inspirations from jazz, soul, and psychedelia - drawing listeners into a dark, hypnotic realm. 

INTERVIEW
Berlin is such a heavy influence for so many artists. How has living there shaped your evolution - musically or personally?

As a DJ, being in the « core » of the electronic music field has been quite enlightening.
I’ve been exposed to a lot of different vibes, which has made me more aware of what I’m really sensitive to, what I truly like, and what I don’t.
I moved here mainly to grow as a mastering and cutting engineer, and I’m grateful because things are going in the right direction. I’ve already had the opportunity to work with great labels, to cut great music, and my knowledge keeps getting refined.


You’re a mastering engineer—doing something that’s often an invisible part of making music. How has that deep, technical listening influenced the way you produce music or your approach to selecting tracks to play?

I’m not sure if my work as a mastering engineer directly influences the way I produce music, and I don’t feel comfortable mastering my own tracks. However, it does somehow play a role in how I pick tracks to play. I’m naturally more sensitive to details and I do pay close attention to how a track sounds ; in my opinion, a great track loses 50% of its potential if the mix or mastering isn’t optimized for it.
I also always consider how a track will translate on a big sound system - and on which one specifically. For example, if a track has a particularly wide or busy low end, I’ll think twice before playing it, depending on the venue and its acoustics. Not all sound systems transmit sound accurately and it’s something to take into consideration


Your mix for 6D. comes straight from the floor of Tresor Berlin. What kind of journey were you hoping to create for the audience there?

It was my very first closing, and naturally I felt a bit nervous before. In the end I could play whatever I felt like playing, went with the flow and the vibe, picked my fav tracks.
That night I learned that: it doesn’t matter who plays before, at any BPM speed, any intensity, any kind of vibe: the closing - just like opening - is a slot that offers a lot of freedom, which makes it so special and exciting. It was such a rewarding experience. Hope you’ll enjoy the set !

Duplicity 135 | @joeystella

We are super excited to present the 135th episode featuring @01366 founder @joeystella!

Barcelona-based Joey Stella. Resident and founder of the influential collective 01366.
Originally from Manchester (UK), historically a home for techno and all things music. Stella is a diverse selector focusing on deep and intelligent rhythms; his DJ sets can be described as powerful with rolling grooves and hypnotic spells found throughout.

Developing his taste as a raver in the north west, with family members and a close circle well embedded in the local club and rave scene - Joey naturally fell into throwing parties as soon as he was old enough to do so. Now with years of experience, this life really came to the fore after moving to Barcelona, where he began promoting illegal loft and warehouse parties, which evolved into the multi-city 01366 label and event brand, that he co-manages today.

As usual, turn up the volume and enjoy the mix!
