KONTRASTMITTEL | Live @HÖR BERLIN - 01/11/24

Our March 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features a ninety-minute mix from Liz Somes.

The moment Liz Somes mixed her first two tracks, her mind switched off and the music took control. But the Seattle artist’s next chapter is far more deliberate. She intends for her fearless approach as an artist to carry on techno’s historic legacy as an inclusive safe space where groundbreaking ideas can take form.

Liz selects all of her music by ear, seldom paying any mind to the names on a given record. She produces thought-provoking tracks of her own — such as the corrosive “Mental Chaos” or hair-raising “The Unknown” — without trying to cater to popular labels. Her refusal to conform has paid off. A 2023 winner of the Pete Tong DJ Academy Future Talent and Sama Abdulhadi’s Personal Award, Liz Somes is now a familiar face behind the decks on several continents.

It is at this crucial impasse that too many artists falter and start playing it safe, afraid to risk their mounting momentum. Not Liz Somes. She’s only just begun to explore the shrouded depths of her sound signature, calling back from the abyss at every purposeful step. Her commitment harks back to a time when techno broke the rules and contemplated a distant future. As far as she’s concerned, it always should.

These concepts are second nature to Liz, as revolutionary as they may seem. She follows the sound, honest and unyielding, faithful that all the rest will fall into place.

Artista del pulso y la tensión sonora, ACRO demuestra una década de exploración musical en sets cargados de energía y matices profundos.

Our June 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features a one hour, fourteen minute mix from Josh Tong.  This closing set was recorded live for the Entropoic x Green Machine show at Smartbar in Chicago on 12/5/24.

Josh Tong is a classically trained artist and DJ specializing in textural, atmospheric, and ethereal techno. He takes a methodical and intentional approach to his sets reflecting the ways in which classical concertos are structured and fabricated. This curious approach illustrates the harmonious flow of energy between melodic elements and atmospheric tones through deeply layering tracks creating soundscapes rather than a singular sound. 

His thoughtful, philosophical approach to music guides his project, Entropic - a music-centered experience and platform that transcends genres and honors DJing as an artform always pushing the boundaries of sound and space. Josh has showcased local talent through Entropic at Chicago’s beloved Smartbar and continues to build community through these deliberate iterations. He is also a resident of Chicago’s techno collective and label, Format.

Our July 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features a two-hour mix from Brandon De Carlo.  

From his live performances at some of NYC’s most legendary events through the 90’s, to his countless DJ gigs under the southwest stars through the 2000’s and beyond, Brandon’s journey spans decades of dedication to techno. A multi-instrument musician and grandson of Puerto Rican singing legend Tito Rodriguez (who lead the first wave of NYC nightlife in the 40’s-50’s), his rhythmic roots run generations deep and his dedication to his craft is not driven by fame, nor fortune, but by legacy. His classic releases on Kevin Saunderson’s KMS records, 611 Rec, Hijacked Records and his own Downside Up Recordings have gained him global attention and rotation from the who’s who of techno DJ’s, while his approach to delivering blistering dj sets continues to push the envelope of rhythmic reality, cleansing souls of those who bear witness.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to give back to the community that shaped me. What it means to create something for the culture, not just within it. I wanted to contribute in a different way this time. Something that lives beyond the party. Something that holds space for the artists who’ve impacted me on a deeper level. That’s how the FIXVTIØN mix series came to life. And I couldn’t think of a more meaningful way to start than with Headless Horseman.

His music has been a constant force in my life for years. Guiding me, influencing my sound, expanding my understanding of what Techno can feel like. From the first time I experienced his work, it left an imprint on me that’s never faded. To have him as the debut of this project is surreal. It’s full circle. It’s an honor.

With that being said, I’m excited to unveil the first installment of FIXVTIØN’s mix series. A new platform dedicated to pushing forward-thinking Techno and resisting the over-saturation of formulaic sounds.

Now live. Listen loud.

Our August 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features a two-hour mix from Komprezzor.

Hailing from Mexico City and living in Chicago for over 2 decades, Komprezzor has become a synonym of hardware and modular-based techno live performance in the US.  His sounds and patterns are uncommon to the classically trained ear.  He performs based on a gut feeling, showing a heavily-influenced, Detroit-style improvisation where no time nor scale is right or wrong.  His performing technique, just like life itself, can be unpredictable as he arranges sounds landscapes and sequences on the fly, with precision timing.  Simply put, whenever you are present at one of his performances... expect the unexpected.  Komprezzor is currently working on his Hardware brand as his main operational umbrella, featuring a label, podcast, video channel, and interviews with other fellow hardware performers.

[BIO]

Sara had her first performance in front of a larger audience in February 2021. Initially, she focused around fast and hard varieties of techno with a bit of a trancy vibe. After some time, she turned towards lighter but not slower sounds. Currently, she draws her main inspirations from the French scene and a fairly young variety of groove techno, a delicate, fast paced kick intertwined with numerous sounds. She contributes to the scene through Theia Crush, a relatively new project through which she can implement numerous ideas related in broad sense organization of events.

Our September 2025 ‘Monthly Techno Mixshow’ features an hour-long mix from our co-founder, DBOT.

DBOT is a Phoenix-based techno artist with deep roots in the Chicago nightclub scene.  Starting his music career in 2008, DBOT began his journey playing house music at some of the most-respected venues in Downtown Chicago.  After almost a decade of holding down residencies throughout the city, he developed an affinity for techno and the grittier, stripped-down productions that catered more to the underground.  As his sound evolved, he co-founded Nine Lives in 2017 as a means to book talent aligned with his newfound aspirations as an artist.  After relocating to Phoenix in 2020, DBOT established himself as a key figure on the Techno Snobs DJ roster, playing dozens of high-profile shows since his arrival to The Valley.  Invigorated by this latest chapter of his career, DBOT is currently focused on making new music and expanding the Nine Lives and Techno Snobs brands.
