This is a mix I made to enter a dj contest for the Labyrinth Club in Antwerp. It was asked to make a mix for a arming up set which is clearly audible in the set because I reduced the bpm's a little bit and made the build up last a while longer than I use to. 

Hope you enjoy it and feel free to drop a comment.

Keep Techno alive!

We are thrilled to have the legend Ben Sims on episode 100 with a very special 4h mix! Over the past 25 odd years he has released countless bangers and founded the labels Theory, Hardgroove, Machine, Ingoma and Symbolism. He is one of techno’s most exciting talents - a DJ who has stayed true to the genre’s funk. Enjoy!

Frequency Device 4th Birthday - Space DJz [Ben Long]

It's a heaven on earth track, all layers are filled with sensual sounds.... This remix is really state of the art. It has the perfect "build up" to a climax, and just when you think you are there, the climax goes even higher. The sensuality of the voice reminds us of Octave One " I believe".... It captures your should completely and pulls it too a higher level.... Definitely one of our favourite ones!

Trish Van Eynde - Goon (KLAINA OV EXTENDED REMIX)

The Funk EP

@JoelMull / @HeikoLaux / @Kanzleramt

http://deathtechno.com/2017/04/30/dtp-joel-mull-heiko-laux-stringer-bell/

Swedish Techno star Joel Mull makes a long awaited return to the magical Kanzleramt since his first contribution back in 2006. A highly respected label with many of the world’s leading artists in the back catalogue, it has pushed a distinguished sound that combines an electronic soul with effective and club ready tracks.

The label boss himself Heiko Laux completes this heavyweight collaboration EP called Rooter.

The DT:Premiere we selected is the third track called “Stringer Bell” that to no surprise is a slice of audio perfection. A moody groove is the life blood, made up of stabbing synths creating a marching flow that organically expand and raise the tension. The lead bell tone adds a constant sense of hypnotic wonder and poignant character to the equation. Subtle and powerful at the same time, you can imagine the impact when deployed in the right space.

Anfisa Letyago is a rising star of the Italian techno scene having on numerous occasions had tracks break into Beatports Top 100 sales chart. Born in the Siberian region of Russia, she has adopted Naples as her home, and become a regular DJ at many of the local events.

This is Anfisa Letyagos first release on Intec, but other imprints to have featured her music include an eclectic selection of labels ranging from Spinnin to Nervous. Still at a young age, she has already played at a number of festivals, and Carl Cox signed this release after already supporting many of her other tracks in his sets.

The opening track So Good breathes fresh life into a classic sample that gives the track an old school vibe. Added with just a hint of euphoria from the fluttering lead synth, this slice of peak time techno has a feel good mood whilst still packing a serious punch.

Keeping the good times vibe alive Catch The Spirit also makes use of a timeless sample fused with emotive synths and hard hitting percussion. Capturing the end of the night vibe, this track fully embraces the spirit of how a DJs set can unite a group of strangers on a dance floor.

This is Anfisa Letyagos second release on Intec in the space of only a few months. Her last EP released in July picked up support from the likes of Ida Engberg, Pan-Pot, Alan Fitzpatrick as well as Pig&Dan.

Anfisa Letyago is a rising star of the Italian techno scene having on numerous occasions had tracks break into Beatports Top 100 Sales Chart. Born in the Siberian region of Russia, she has adopted Naples as her home, and become a regular DJ at many of Italys most prestigious events.

Other imprints to have featured her music include an eclectic selection of labels ranging from Spinnin' to Nervous, and this EP is another fine example of her feel good take on peak time techno.

The opening track Hypnotic has looped vocal textures that combined with the deep chord stabs, are accurate to the mission statement of the tracks title. Mastering you with its groove, the track has a shadowy atmosphere contrasting with the uplifting mood provided by the melodic notation of the pads.

You Got To Work is much darker than the first cut up until the powerful breakdown where gospel style vocals fill the track with an overwhelming sense of euphoria. Poignant synths add to the rattling groove of the percussion to create this high-octane cut of hands in the air techno perfect for peak time plays.

ID190 2. Anfisa Letyago - You Got To Work

Zero was born and raised in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. He was inspired as a teenager to be a dj after visiting the legendary Fuse club in Brussels. Being inspired by the Techno he heard at the Fuse he bought a pair of turntables and a mixer in the 90's. After spending many hours in his room making mix tapes for his friends, he realized that his favourite style of Techno was Detroit Techno .
In 2001 he teamed up with a good friend of his, DJ Switch, shortly after they were asked to perform as a duo at the BBC beach party. after that, they were invited to play for the “DJ's” on TMF at the BBC Club. Soon after that initial success they became residents in a local bar which gave them more notoriety further away from home which resulted in other residencies, at parties such as Urban Grooves, Area 51, Tekno-Knights and Dancing Vibes. Parties which are very well known in the West Flemish region promoting high quality Techno. Along the way they also participated and won several dj contests, which also lead to new bookings at clubs such as the Decadance, The Fuse (Motion Room) and the Young talent corner at Kozzmozz playing next to Dj's such as Dimitri Andreas, Trish Van Eynde, Zzino, Redhead, Stanny Franssen, Ramon Tapia, DJ Emerson, Oliver Ho, Trevor Rockliffe, Secret Cinema, Charles Siegling, Justin Berkovi, Marco Remus, Lars Klein, Space DJz, Surgeon, Mark Williams, Ben Sims, Shinedoe, Joel Mull, Surgeon, Deetron, Kr!z, and Emetic.
In 2005, DJ Zero decided to spin solo once again developing his own unique style, energetic with a little twist of deep, building up to climaxes to keep the party level up!
After taking a break for a few years, due to the birth of his son, Zero is now back in business! Being devoted and enthusiastic to keep the parties going, he has recently played on Urgent fm, and even won 3rdplace in a dj contest and continues to have a busy program ahead, stay tuned and follow his news on:
