After a lengthy hiatus, we have released the 20th edition of our podcast series, featuring Nightime Drama’s, Trinity!

This one-hour mix encapsulates Trinity’s style of deep, hypnotic, hard techno, from a selection of both new and unreleased material.

Trinity is a DJ, live performer and producer based in Eora/Sydney.  Now celebrating her 20th year in the music industry, Trinity has earned the respect and love of fans, dancers and peers from Sydney to Berlin — and many destinations in between. Her abundant and diverse talents, her famous work ethic, and her uncompromising musical vision have made her a force to be reckoned with in the world of techno.

Trinity was billed alongside Richie Hawtin at the Vivid Sydney festival at Sydney Opera House; headlined Sydney’s world-famous Mardi Gras celebration; and has played at Tresor, Tomorrowland and many other clubs and festivals across Europe. Other stops on her musical travels have included New Zealand, India and Amsterdam’s famed Red Light Radio.

Each of Trinity’s live shows is marked by her unique versatility: from deep dub-techno, acid and electro to peak-time techno — all combining for a distinct and moving soundscape. Trinity is also one-half of boundary-breaking live act Phax Machine (along with partner Analogue Resistance), with the duo focusing especially on tougher breakbeat and classic rave sounds. 

Trinity’s recorded output includes collaborations with Luke Hess, Eric Cloutier, Headless Horseman and XDB, with her releases making their way into some of the best record shops in the world including Berlin’s Hard Wax. Trinity also runs A&R for the Australian techno label Nightime Drama.

After taking a break from DJing and performing during the pandemic to focus on running her business and parenting, Trinity is back — with a focus on quality over quantity and the same dedication and musical integrity as ever.

Nightime Drama Podcast 020 - Trinity

Embark on a sonic journey with Stroef, the label owner and producer hailing from Amsterdam. The roots of this musical odyssey trace back 23 years to a high school moment when the legendary Jeff Mills' 'I Love Techno 1999' set resonated through a Walkman, introducing a sound that felt both alien and captivating.

Delving deep into the realms of house and techno, Surgeon's groundbreaking 'Force + Form' album and the eclectic sets by Dylan Drazen played a pivotal role in shaping Stroef's musical identity. However, it was the underrated brilliance of Claude Young, showcased in tracks like 'Rise,' 'Mara,' and 'Samba,' that left an indelible mark on his production style.

Versatility is the heartbeat of Stroef's mixes and productions—whether crafting Detroit-styled mixes, dub excursions, or acid-infused journeys. Yet, at the core, Detroit techno remains the heartbeat of his artistic expression.

As the helmsman of Boomstraat 1818, Stroef enjoys the liberty of curating releases from artists he admires. From the immersive sounds of Kuba Sojka to the soulful depths of Taho, each release on the label echoes the warm vibes of Detroit techno.

Stefan Vincent, a musical mentor and longtime friend of Stroef, guided him to Nightime Drama through a podcast for the label. Vincent's technical prowess and collaborative efforts have left an indelible mark on Stroef.

This mix is a captivating fusion of early '90s gems, unreleased productions by Stroef on Diffuse Reality, an acid journey with the Devoran alter ego, and timeless classics from UR.

Indulge in the sonic palette carefully curated by Stroef, where each beat and rhythm tells a story of the rich tapestry of techno's evolution.

Listen and immerse yourself.

/Eli Verviene/

We are delighted to announce our new Nightime Drama podcast series. We have carefully selected artists for the podcast who's sound we are passionate about. Our first guest for the series hails from Zurich, Switzerland, DJ Eli Verviene. Eli graced our shores down under in 2013 and again in 2014 playing at both Nightime Drama in Adelaide and 4our in Sydney.

Elis approach to djing is to tell her story through her sets, ensuring a diversity of genres, a warm energy and a style that is her own. Recording mixes in the past for the mnml ssgs blog and Resident Advisor, both of which she garnered enthusiastic responses, Eli has now recorded a mix for us at Nightime Drama. A wonderful deep mix with minimal, deep house and techno elements that you will want to play over and over. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Read on for some insights from Eli in this exclusive interview.

1) Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Most definitely a night owl!

2) What is your home city and what makes it special?

Zurich is such a lovely city, which has a lot to offer for its size. Located at a beautiful lake surrounded by snowy mountains.

 3) The term DJ's DJ gets thrown around a lot these days, who is your DJ's DJ?

Daniel Bell

 4) What first comes to mind when you think of electronic music in Australia?

Well, most definitely a vivid and colourful underground scene created by passionate people. Even though, unfortunately, people on my side of the planet are not aware it. 

Ahead of my first visit in OZ, I didn't know what to expect. What a great surprise it was, to meet so many like-minded people which are so passionate about what they are doing. Not to forget that you have, in my opinion, one of the best record stores in the world in Adelaide - "Transition Records". Despite its relatively small size, the selection is exceptionally and it is impossible to leave the store without a gem.I truly hope that Australia's electronic underground scene will get its well deserved recognition.

5) What has been the stand out track that you've playing this month?

Autechre - Incunabula

It`s not a track but a whole album I have to mention. I've been waiting many years to have this gem on vinyl and now now it finally got re-pressed.

Nightime Drama 002

Trinity: https://soundcloud.com/trinity-live-dj

Australia's Nightime Drama welcome Steven Tang and label associate Trinity for a new collaborative EP that comes with two originals and remixes by Basic Soul Unit and Daniela La Luz. 

Tang has long been serving up space age techno sounds on his own Obsolete Music Technology and the likes of Smallville, and Trinity is a DJ, live act and producer from Sydney who plays key clubs around Europe and releases on Counter Pulse and Coincidence as well as this one. 

Innermost Search opens the EP with supple and rubbery drums carrying you off into the cosmos as spaced out pads bring real scale and emotional depth. It’s a cinematic house track with vivid imagery. Then comes a remix from Dekmantel’s Toronto mainstay Basic Soul Unit that is much more busy and robust. A wide lead synth line sprays about above drums which are much bigger and heavier. It’s prime warehouse material to get people marching. 

Tang & Trinity’s Adrifting Voyage then slips back into a deep, cerebral house groove with oodles of reverb and dubby chords cut though by icy hi hats and transcendental pads. Last of all, Berlin’s Daniela a La Luz (who has released on the likes of Cocoon and !K7) remixes this one into a lively, nimble house track with curious melodic riffs and tough drums appealing to both head and heel. It rounds out a fresh and powerful EP of futuristic house music.

We are thrilled to announce a very special edition of the Nightime Drama Podcast: Stefan Vincent recorded live at Tresor!

For almost 10 years Stefan has been slowly edging closer to the techno foreground through releases on the likes of, Sthlm LTD, Dynamic Reflection, Anagram and more...

His ability to create deep, textured emotional techno is something that has captured our imaginations at Nightime Drama and we couldn't be more excited to have him on board.

_________________________________________________

Read on for some insights from Stefan Vincent in this exclusive interview;

 1) Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Definitely a night owl, never been a morning person. when I started working office jobs I simply fell asleep behind my desk for several years and jobs in the morning, as I felt inspiration mostly came around bedtime. Now I kinda switched to making music mostly in the afternoon though.

2) What is your home city and what makes it special? 

I'm originally from Groningen, a city in the north of Holland, but Amsterdam has been my home for exactly 10 years now. There's a lot that makes Amsterdam special, but one of the things I specifically like is that it's a city that has pretty much everything I'm looking for in a city but I still run into people I know when I'm walking through it. An American friend of mine who used to live here always refers to Amsterdam as 'the biggest village in the world' and she has a point. That being said, I'm quite happy to have moved to one of the less busy places outside of the center, after having lived for 7 years right next to the center.

3) The term DJ's DJ gets thrown around a lot these days, who is your DJ's DJ?

I have a lot of favourite dj's and if you ask me the same question again next week I'll probably give a different answer, but Karl Meier and Patrick Russel to me are definitely two typical "DJ's DJ's" who keep surprising and amazing me with both skills and selection. Also DVS1, whenever I see or hear him play I feel I might as well give up as there's no way I'll ever in this life get to that level. 

4) What first comes to mind when you think of electronic music in Australia?

 First thing that pops up in my mind is Rainbow Serpent festival, couple friends played there a couple of times. And a sign at the festival somebody posted online, warning not to wonder off in any case one of the multitude of deadly animals will definitely kill you in the Australian desert. I also heard some great stories of friends who toured through the east coast, and I'm very eager to find out myself.

5) What has been the stand out track that you've playing this month?

Current standout track is Dold - EVA. a simple amen break over a 4/4 beat with some beautiful pads on top. the type of track you can hear and think 'why didn't I think of that'. right in the feels.

/Mareena/

For the next instalment of our Nightime Drama podcast we welcome our good friend from Berlin, Mareena to provide a hour of brooding techno for your aural enjoyment.

One of the few DJ's, DJs whose reputation has been built on her prowess as selector alone rather than having to rely on productions or promotion to gain gigs, this is evident from her long standing residency at Berlin techno institution Tresor.

With a repertoire of music that spans from the emotionally tinged soundscapes found in her UNRUSH project, a podcast / event series focusing on ambient & electronica, to her storming dark, driving techno sets at her home in the basement of Tresor, Mareenas dj sets are an experience into the expansive world of techno.

This podcast really exemplifies the techno side that Mareena is renowned for, including tracks from luminaries such as; Markus Suckut, Dan Curtin, F.U.S.E., & Stojche, it combines her appreciation of the new breed of techno producers with a respectful nod to the classics.
