Lily Ackerman

Bio - Born in Suburban Chicagoland and raised in Northwest Wisconsin, Steve Seuling (a.k.a. Centrific) anchored himself in Minneapolis since 1993. In a mostly-hidden, yet vibrantly evolving underground scene, Seuling started attending, curating, and DJing events in the mid-1990s. Underscoring his commitment for the Twin Cities’ massive bass bins, Seuling then in March of 1998 founded “Intellephunk”, his brand of parties that began at the now-shuttered Rockler Fur Building, drawing inspiration from those of his contemporaries (Woody McBride’s “Electric Disko”, Drop Bass Network’s Even Furthur). Centrific throws a weekly summer party called “Communion”, founded in 2007 alongside fellow Midwest native Dustin Zahn. Communion is an inclusive open-air day party, focusing on the psychedelic side of house and techno. Most recently, Centrific created an online Twitch stream entitled “Distant Future”, a platform where he invites local and international DJs to showcase their music and chat about their ideas for the future of the rave scene.  His dedication to preserving and protecting the local roots of the dance music community shows that, in many ways, he’s the lifeblood of Midwest techno.

Steve’s contributions and continued loyalty to Minneapolis is immense and self-evident. He embodies a fatherly role in both his day-to-day life and artistic practice. Seuling is grounded and approachable; a speaker-freaker with a wry sense of humor and an openness to connect with new and old friends. His DJ style explores a direct lineage to pummeling, aggressive Midwest techno and house, mixing with pointillist sonic precision that permeates his approach to his musical eclecticism. Centrific veers away from musical boundaries and expectations, while pushing further and further into that psychedelic headspace one can only call “the groove”.

We had the pleasure of taking you from the night into sunrise through many sub-genres in our record collection. It felt so good having the freedom to craft the set exactly how we wanted on a setup that had been perfectly tweaked by Lyra Audio + crew over the course of 2 days.   

We spent around 6 months planning this event. Everything from the lighting (@seanclarke) to the sound, personally applying for a TEN to use the space (that’s another story altogether) and how the event would run.
 
When you have all the these other variables running alongside an event it can be difficult to lock into the set at your own party but this time everything worked out and we’re really excited to share the memory of this special night. 

Thanks to everyone that made it down and helped in anyway, it’ll always stay with us, this one <3

This is also available to stream on YouTube thanks to @warp.speed.films

This year, the spanish techno legend Oscar Mulero will return to the stage at rural, and we are happy to share the recording of his closing set at “rural at New Acao” in 2022.

This three-hour raging techno set guided the audience to the most intense and deeper world in the otherworldly main floor of “New Acao”, a gorgeous Showa-era building overlooking the sea.

今年、再びruralの舞台に戻ることになったスパニッシュテクノの生きる伝説 Oscar Mulero による2022年の“rural at New Acao”でのクロージングセットを公開します。

来場者の記憶に深く刻まれることになった、海を一望できる豪華絢爛な昭和建築“ニューアカオ”の異世界的なメインフロアの中でも、最も激しく、より深い世界を案内することになった3時間に及ぶ怒涛のテクノセットをお楽しみください。

rural Podcast 014 Oscar Mulero

For the past fifteen years, Rotterdam-based DJ and producer Benny Rodrigues alias ROD has been carving out a lane of his own in the realm of contemporary techno. Piling up one massive release after the other for the likes of Axis, Figure, Soma, Klockworks or his own record label, Rod20, the Dutch artist has been laying the foundation to a catalogue driven by thrill-seeking curiosity and a vibrant desire to bring techno into a whole new dimension, just as the pioneers did. That epic-sized vision and deeply innovative breath infuse both ROD’s studio productions and sets, and his RYC podcast vouches for that very ground-breaking, limit-busting take on the medium. Flush with galloping grooves, mind-altering distortions and heavy-duty analogue funk, the present mix is as much an ode to the early scene’s unfading visionary impulse as it is a future-ready manifesto for our age.
