Favorite Quote: “Deep Listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix in which compassion and love are the core motivating principles guiding creative decision making and our actions in the world”- Pauline Oliveros

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community: Stay true to yourself and try to forgo the weight of what people may think of you and your work. Create what you want to. Try new things. Listen attentively, you will make incredible (sonic) encounters. Try to focus on presence and connections rather than productivity. Don't hesitate to reach out to your community. The goal is to blossom.

Techno breakfast in the vault ~ recording of my closing set for @subvertedscene's New Faces at @tresorberlin, March 2023.

The set isn't perfect but the morning dancers and I had a lot of fun and that's what matters to me ultimately <3 Thanks to @hybral for the invite!

Ōtone @ Tresor Berlin 2023 [hosted by Subverted]

Sinewing through wiggly bass and jacking club numbers, Ōtone's Lecken set—served at our last pre-sabbatical rave in ÆDEN in November 2023—settles into an uncompromising dish of hardgroove and funky techno. A 2+ hour confident and multi-textured percussive score from a DJ and producer close to our hearts and dance floors for many years already. @otonenoto

Retrospect 114 | FLORA (@flora_xc)

Flora, fascinated by the world of electronic music, found his passion on the dance floor. It was there, among the rhythms and energetic atmosphere, that he felt like he was entering a completely different dimension, where there existed only him, music, and dance. This experience left such a strong impression on him that he decided to be the person who creates magical moments for others through music, but now standing on the other side, behind the decks. As a co-founder of the XC.01 project, Flora set himself the goal not only of organizing events, but above all of building a community where music and the atmosphere on the dance floor are crucial, and safety is a priority. Their motto "follow the rhythm" characterizes Flora's approach to music - focusing on rhythm and synchronizing the body with the sounds. For him, the most important thing is for people to be able to detach from everyday life, forget about time, and connect with each other as one, dancing non-stop throughout the night.

Retrospect 115 | wants (@wants_music)

wants are Marcin Krupa and Kacper Peresada, who are a million years old together and are terribly tired. They made their debut 10 years ago with the song "Track", which quickly found its way into the mixes of producers associated with Swamp 81. Over the next years, they were associated with British and American labels, releasing songs such as "Solski" and "Spatif". Their songs were played in Essential Mixes from such artists like Mall Grab or Lena Willikens. This year they released their first EP in five years, which was played by both Polish and foreign DJs. Their "north warsaw" is used in KiNK's live set, who creates his own version of their production while playing live. They don't play anywhere because no one books them.

!nertia is a composer and performer who pushes the boundaries of sonic arts. His work explores the motion of sound through an instinctive way of working; he makes field recordings and then he extracts movement out of natural sounds, afterwards, he combines these elements into live electronics to create an endless journey. A smooth and organic blend, fusing the electronic and natural world into one ambience. This approach results into emotional, atmospheric and hypnotic art works, which mutate into performances to experience his narrative sound in diverse multi sensorial ways. His live electronic performances have different shapes like podium performance, art exhibitions and sound installations. Among !nertia collaborators are graphic designers, fine artists, musicians, composers.

𝕌𝕝𝕥𝕣𝕒 𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕠𝕟𝕝𝕪 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕗𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕤 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕗𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕪

The set is a recording from the @atavizm-collective party in Klub Cel in Katowice on the 23.03.2024. 

"The energy dominating the space that night was somewhat special, feminine and powerful. I played after @vi-official and my set was accompanied by a bewitching visual performance by Avari. Things were just flowing and the set turned out to be a mixture of subtle breakbeats, rumbling kicks, spacious 4 x 4, ritualistic hard drums with just a dash of dubstep and grime. Let me know how you liked it. Enjoy."

Mastering by @tonallaxe

.

Gościńska - a radical DJ and promoter in love with creating experiences, concept writing and art facilitation. Co-founder of the @sfora_art Festival and part of the @fraktionnimmersatt collective in Berlin.

The ever-evolving music interests and love for rhythmic variety brought Gościńska to delve into “all-things-broken”. Melting moody electro with spacious bass tracks; breakbeat with 4x4 rhythms or smashing a set full of techno, breaks & footwork spiced up with dubstep, DnB, deconstructed and glitched rhythms is what you can expect. Industrial slow-beat, post-club, experimental and ambient music all have a special place in her selection as well.

Working on the program and organization of her brainchild SFORA is what she does when not behind the decks. The festival is an intimate summer event in the lake region of Poland, focusing on electronic music, visual art and engaging workshops; promoting diversity, inclusivity and collaboration. Next event: 14-17.06.2024.

Miejsca w techno, gdzie... | Podcast 081 | Ōtone
26.09.2017

The work of Ōtone is characterised by an ongoing investigation of abstract industrial soundscapes - spanning from electroacoustic ambient and drone forms to percussive and dance floor oriented tracks. In 2017, they started a collection/series of self-made metallic objects called 'Tetsu' that they use as compositional tools and performative instruments. In the studio and on stage, Ōtone manipulates these instruments and blends them with material from their field recordings archive. Their timbers exploration plays with the listeners’ acoustic memory to create new sonic combinations and associations until another landscape emerges. Ōtone has performed live in venues such as OHM, Urban Spree, ACUD MACHT NEU, Spektrum, Punctum, and DJ sets in clubs such as Tresor and Arena Club. Since 2015, Ōtone is the founder and curator of ygam, an independent record label and space for industrial sonic tapestries and peculiar studies of noise to unfold.
