Arondeus ( Nexus / Techno.fm ) Mix - broadcast LIVE on www.techno.fm - Fri June 14th

We're really happy to welcome our next guest - co-founder and resident at one of our favourite parties and one that's a core component of Manchester's awesome queer clubbing experience.

"Antoin Lindsay is co-founder and resident at Manchester's Kiss Me Again, a monthly LGBT+ party at Soup Kitchen. Kiss Me Again's broad music policy has led it to become one of the most highly-regarded queer parties in the country and they've appeared on Boiler Room and hold down a monthly show on NTS Radio. Antoin's own formative clubbing experiences came through UK techno, bass music, dubstep and garage which all come through in his selections as a DJ."

First up - the residents from one of our favourite new(ish) nights - we've raved with them a couple of times, love their ethos and their bookings are always top notch. 

" ATHE is a nomadic party with a love of experimental electronics and the esoteric side of harsh sounds. With a commitment to only ever platforming women, queer folx and artists of colour - and giving long sets to up-and-coming artists - residents Nina (Lupini) and Lea (Ben Sleia) have shelled out their bank savings and record collections into the Liverpool night life scene. ��

Creating a peaceful dance floor with a down-and-dirty soundtrack has been no mean feat, and currently ATHE has brought the sounds of speedy Copenhagen techno-trance, floaty IDM and electro all the way waaaay up to gabber, with bookings including Tryphème, Mama Snake, Nkisi and Darwin. The pair have got plenty more in the pipeline, so you better keep some weekends free in August, September and December…. ��

DJing in their own rights, between them Lupini and Ben Sleia have shared stages with Discwoman, DMX Krew, Kelly Lee Owens, Blasha & Allatt, Terry Riley, Max Graef, Space Afrika and many parties and festivals across Liverpool and London. Both hold down monthly residencies over on Melodic Distraction Radio, so drop by in the digital world on the third Thursday of the month. 

~ PEACE INNA DANCE ~
~ BELIEVE IN WOMXN ~"

Next up is the awesome talent that is Alan Macfarlane

"Al Mac started DJing in the year 2000 - 2004 was when he discovered techno, playing mainly hard and acid techno until last year where he has started exploring and experimenting with a range of other techno sub-genres.

2012 was when he secured his first gig for a night called Indecent Exposure - being invited back for repeat events - since then he has played all over the country at various nights and also many free parties, and last November Al was invited over to Poland to play.
Al Mac has also put on a few club nights himself - one with Benji 303 called Refined, and more recently Project Mayhem with Sted Hellvis

As well as DJing at club nights and free parties, he's also a quality regular fixture on radio shows and podcats  - and is looking forward to playing out at numerous upcoming parties over the next few months"

First up, we have the awesome Ross Alexander - who we've caught at various nights around the NW and have always been blown away by. We've got a belting live set from the man himself for the first hour :) 

"Ross’ music is a melting pot of many influences. Utilising drum machines and groove boxes, Ross has found the sweet spot between Detroit/European techno and electro. With Ross, “being a fan of machines”, you can also expect prominent bass, breaks and bleeps."

Next, taking us through the second hour of the show we've got the brilliant Samantha Togni


"Samantha Togni, an internationally-renowned DJ, producer and mixing engineer. Not only has she played headline sets in super-clubs from Tokyo to America, Togni has also built a really strong reputation with her productions in the Electronic Music scene. 

The last few years in particular have seen the rising star land coveted support slots for the likes of Miss Kittin and Sinjin Hawke. Togni has also shared stages with everyone from UMEK, Magda, Camelphat, Boris, always experimenting with and adapting her sound to electrify any audience. This unique soundscape was written across 2016 single ‘Queen Nemesis’, a frantic, uptempo track featuring rapid-fire raps from London MC Janset. The track quickly racked up support from Adidas Originals, which playlisted the song in its stores, as well as press outlets including Dazed Korea, The 405, Red Bull and Wonderland, who described Togni as the DJ to watch. 

Togni is also a core member of INFERNO, a London-based club collective renowned for fusing club culture, performance art and techno which caught the attention of Dazed and I-D. They hold a residency at The Yard where she is also a resident DJ.

Although she has numerous gigs lined up at Destino Ibiza, Paris, EGG London and Five Miles (where she currently has a monthly residency), Elektrowerkz, Los Angeles (Globe Theatre and Soft Leather) and in the Island of Mustique, Togni has been focusing her time in the studio.

And rounding out the show we've got the brilliant SH13 (the industrial alter-ego of Sted Hellvis, purveyor of breakneck acid techno). Also playing at Nexus #11 (busy night!), could there be an announcement on the cards? ;)

"The evil dark techno / industrial pseudonym of Sted Hellvis (dirty warehouse / squat techno); equally tough in outlook and attitude, SH13 is the outlet for the mayhem pitching in around 135-140bpm."

Adriana Bradford
[Transister / Sonorous Sessions]

Smashing preconceptions of what a drag DJ can and can’t be, Adriana Bradford is carving a unique path for herself in the melodic techno scene. With an emphasis on deep synth lines, driving bass and pulsating rhythms, she brings an exciting and innovative vibe to her DJ sets, productions and podcasts.

A lifelong fan of electronic music, Adriana Bradford entered the scene five years ago and has since made an indelible impact, running her own events at Egg London and DJing at some of the hottest underground nights up and down the country. Her sets offer a unique take on the melodic techno sound, taking listeners on a journey through a range of sounds and vibes built upon a strong backbone of driving rhythm and groove.

Adriana’s talents don’t stop there: she recently turned her hand to production, releasing the smouldering and otherworldly single ‘Uttama’ in June. The track is a slow burner, gradually transporting the listener into an alternate sonic dimension before ethereal pads emerge to announce a euphoric final section.

With upcoming gigs in October at Dalston Superstore and The Loft London, Adriana is set to continue building a formidable reputation within the scene – by delivering exploratory DJ sets and productions that take melodic techno to an alternate dimension, she’s swiftly defining an unparalleled sound that’s entirely her own.
