Terminal V Podcast 016 - Adiel 

Next up for our podcast series is Italian starlet Adiel.

Through her releases on Lucy’s Stroboscopic Artefacts, Kangding Ray’s Ara and her own Danza Tribale imprint she has formed an impressive array of left of centre techno. The latter has been home to much of her output and as well as her own work she has brought into the fold certified Italian legends and this is clearly running off on Adiel.

Having explored a multitude of electronic shades via her long running residency at Goa Club in her native Rome she is well armed with the skills to take on any dancefloor. It is these mastered techniques that she brings to the table for her Terminal V podcast...

Terminal V Podcast 016 || Adiel

The fast paced, hypnotic, layered, and relatively modern techno set you hear in this recording was played for the closing of the first edition of Skin at Club Atelier Amsterdam on 27/03/2022

Skin is a fresh new organisation that seeks to widen the scope of sounds during a club experience, instead of zooming in on a niche.

///////////////////////////////////////////////
////About this set / long read / nerd talk////
//////////////////////////////////////////////

I wanted to do something different for this night, so I experimented with a new approach to my preparation, organising playlists with tracks by what kind of sound design and moods they contain, and putting them within folders that indicated the general intensity in order to slowly ramp up the tension. This groundwork allowed me to prepare an arc for a deep set where I could make long layered mixes while maintaining the groove, speed and improvisation I consider to be recognizable features of when I DJ in a club.

Although this set also sustains a steady groove and flow, it is still a departure from my usual, more instinctive way of playing, where I tend to switch more impulsively between styles and themes, mixing tracks that have pronounced rhythmic elements with tracks that have very memorable basslines and hooks, especially from earlier decades, call it old school, 90s, 00s, retro or outdated if you want. I do this in order to keep a sense of playfulness and unpredictability going (fu n）with selections that have a distinct character.

This set was more about consistency, atmosphere and subtle transitions. The aim was to have the music slowly progress over the course of the set but without it becoming a static affair. This is why I completely avoid looping tracks, as I want their sounds to continuously evolve, and the phrasing in their structure to be continuously accentuated throughout the mix. 

It might not sound quite like what you would expect from a Comrade Winston DJ set, but I actually had a lot of fun constantly keeping two tracks in the mix while preparing for the third to take over, slowly stacking upon the current mood instead of rapidly switching between different ones. Prefering not to rely on the element of surprise but rather slowly reach a boiling point and to enjoy the ride.

Recorded with a Xone92 and 3x CDJ2000s

Let me know what you think.
X Comrade

Pooja B / ikigai (She/Her)
Sonata Music - female pressure - Analog Room 
India | Berlin

Pooja B (she/her) is an Indian artist who is now based in Berlin. Her sound was heavily influenced by the music she heard here when she first visited the city back in 2016. Her idea of techno is a skittish exploration of time and space in this Dystopian world. While futuristic, loopy, industrial sounds for dark clubs are her signature style, she can skillfully adapt to play music for outdoor spaces which still have a sprinkling of her special flavor.

She has been a resident at Analog Room a weekly underground party with a cult following in Dubai, where she was based because of her flight-attendant job. She also held residencies at Warped & Electric Days prior to this, also in Dubai.

Pooja B releases her music under the alias “ikigai”. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being". Her reason for being is to make people dance :) She also takes a firm stand against racism, sexism & environmental issues, which she expresses via her music.

EMEX aka GEORGE APERGIS (Vinyl Only DJ Set)
Modular Expansion | Athens - Berlin 

Vinyl Only DJ Set, Live Recording from Phygital Audiovisual Event 
14 July 2024 at Castle of Rio, Patra
As part of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture’s 2024 program “All of Greece, One Culture”, Modular Expansion organized “Phygital”, an immersive event showcasing live audiovisual performances. These performances blended digital and physical-analog musical instruments, complemented by digital projection. The event took place at Rio Castle in collaboration with the Greek National Opera and the Archaeological Service.
The Phygital event is structured into three distinct live music performances of contemporary electronic music artists George Apergis and Alex Retsis, alongside simultaneous digital artwork projections by the artistic group DEN. This includes visual haikus, a collage of brief micro-compositions combining instrumental and synthetic forms, connected by a deconstructive and unpredictable storytelling.
In the first hour, the audience had the experience of a digital live music performance by Qebo (Alex Retsis), featuring a blend of electroacoustic and ambient music inspired by the architecture of the castle. The second hour highlights the EMEX project by George Apergis and Alex Retsis, blending physical-analog instruments with digital technology to offer a dynamic interplay between digital and analog sounds. The final hour was dedicated to an analog live performance where George Apergis will exclusively use vinyl records. With the financial support and under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

Non Sequitur

Support here: http://visceralabyssus.bandcamp.com/album/caminos-del-caos

Visceral Abyssus unveils its first release with Morgana Parel and her album Caminos del caos: a journey of eight pieces that act as channels of liberation. Each track emerges from the urge to transform inner chaos; laden with frustration, pain, and repressed emotions; into something tangible and beautiful. For Morgana, shaping that long-hidden darkness into sound is a profoundly liberating act.

The album unfolds across shifting intensities: Demencia de la carne, Exaltación excepcional, Explosión y nada, and Último instante are aggressive cuts where rumble and low-end frequencies dominate the space. Destruir las formas and Satisfacción dive into immersive, deeper territories, defined by expansive textures and spatial atmospheres. Finally, Estertor violento and Eterno presente are built on percussion and groove, channeling physical movement and hypnotic energy.

This album is a descent into chaos turned into trance—an exercise in confronting the visceral and transforming it into sound.

This is the record of my set in Tresor. Thanks to @estherduijn for inviting me over to this magic place (x)! It was a wonderful night, with lots of good vibes and I felt so connected to the crowd. 

Maybe people are wondering who I am and what I do with all these different music styles.. but in the end, it doesn't really matter and it is OK to find yourself in all these different styles :-). Hopefully you will recognize my taste and catch the story within each set and I hope you enjoy it!
