Up this week with a choice two-hour guide tour across his post-apocalyptic headspace, Hayes Collective alum Nørbak treats us to a deluge of fractured beats, 909-powered uppercuts and radioactive grooves from the crypt. Hazardous to the fullest, this hectic new set from the Portuguese producer flings us into orbit through an ever impeccable selection and matching jockeying skillset, pulling no punches in his quest to obliterate down to the very last bit of inhibition in you. Resistance is futile, Nørbak is on your heels and he’s up to no good*. *The good kind of no good.

Möd3rn is a global project from 3 wellknown artists who wanted to give a side project from their own solo career. It's a band, producing, playing live but it's also a label created only for the trio productions. Each releases will propose 3 tracks from the 3 artists. For that first one the famous trio propose 3 huges bombs Mö4, Mö5 and Mö6, 3 huge techno killer using rough skins with raw edit. Speech less and listen to that we can call Pure TEchno.
While carefully handling their respective careers, postponing then their obvious collaboration, Möd3rn trio's members have capitalized its desire and now deliver its mere substance, in the rightest moment, where, simply, all the distant forces converge.
The six daring, expert hands merge now into a unique entity, unanimously moving within the same effort towards techno music. Of the distinct identities merely remains the ethereal, synthetic essence devoted to the group, and the common musical passion that leads it. The formula is elaborated freely: each one's adjunctions -subtle keys, nervous chords, underground blows, rhythmical uproars- pour into a thick maelstrom, opaque, condensing Detroit's grieving sensibilities as well as last decade's bewildering cacophonies. The potion obtained is irresistible, an ecstatic hybrid, prodigiously actual, that renders all the genre's diversity and dynamism.
Chance intertwined their paths and now the three companions celebrate both the friendship that resulted and the good fortune that has driven it, by improvising live together as one faceless, solid body agitated by the urge of dance and music, composing the material that shall be processed later on to form their eponym label's releases.

Noah Tauber @ Fossil Archive Presents At TGTF - 8th Sept 2024

Boiling and brewing beneath the surface, the distant roars of underwater volcanic vents can be heard, their energy rising slowly. Microbial life begins to spiral upwards, its first signs detectable as faint movements in the depths. From these elusive sparks, energy builds, colliding and surging forward—a force that moves through the land, digging through the earth and shifting mountains along the way. Under the rhythmic strumming of solar dub-chords and the pulse of lunar drums, we traverse the passage of day and night. The progression unfolds seamlessly, as fluid and organic as the blending of sound, showcasing the expert vision and craftsmanship of MARRØN.

Set the Mood with Maō-no!

For Set the Mood 32, the decks are in the capable hands of Maō-no, the mastermind behind Vinylismo and a resident at AMW.FM. This edition of Set the Mood marks a milestone as the very first vinyl-exclusive set in the series, a detail that adds an extra layer of excitement to the occasion. With its slower transitions and an emphasis on embracing the full body of each track, this mix perfectly captures what an opening set should be.

For Maō-no, a perfect opening set is about creating the right atmosphere. It starts with deep, sci-fi-inspired intros built on strong basslines, slowly unfolding into a dynamic blend of high and low tones. The transitions are purposefully slow, creating a smooth and steady build that pulls the audience into a rich, layered sound. This thoughtful approach sets the perfect tone for the night, drawing listeners into a unique musical journey.

Maō-no (also known as Pablo) is a DJ known for his ability to mix vinyl and digital music into a cohesive story. As the founder of Vinylismo and a key resident at AMW.FM, he brings a unique perspective to his craft. His sets feature carefully chosen tracks, with each vinyl selected to deepen the experience and bring the audience into the heart of the club atmosphere. Combining skill with an adventurous style, Maō-no’s performances leave a lasting impression on every dancefloor he plays.

Finally, I'm ready to share a piece of my debut at Tresor last year, a moment that's taken some time to process and articulate. This podcast is an extract of my 3-hour set, though due to recording issues, it doesn't capture the very beginning or end.  Playing for the New Faces series at Tresor was a real honour, and a chance to contribute to a respected platform within the scene.  It felt like a significant milestone, a culmination of years spent absorbing and internalizing the power of techno. The invitation was truly appreciated, a chance to delve into the core of what drew me to this music in the first place.

I wanted this set to be a sonic representation of my journey – not just as a DJ, but as a listener, a dancer, a creative spirit. It was about capturing the layers of influence, the complex emotions, the raw energy that fuels my connection to music. It was about translating the intangible – the feeling of being completely lost in a rhythm, the shared experience of the dancefloor – into something tangible, something that could resonate with others.

Sharing the lineup with Charlie and Strangerkat was a real highlight. Both are artists I deeply respect, and connecting with them before and after the set added another dimension to the night. The Tresor staff were also incredibly welcoming, creating an atmosphere of support and genuine enthusiasm.

Warming up presented a unique opportunity. It allowed me to craft a narrative arc, to begin in a space of introspection, exploring deeper, more ambient textures, before gradually layering in the elements that build tension and propel the night forward. The booth itself was a dream – the sound, the energy, the sense of connection to the crowd. Everything felt aligned.

That night in Berlin, I felt truly present, completely alive. It was a powerful reminder of why I do what I do. There was a sense of inevitability, a feeling that I was exactly where I was supposed to be. The pull of this city, the pulse of its music scene, has always been strong.

This experience has only fueled my desire to keep pushing myself, to keep exploring the depths of sound and emotion. I'm already looking forward to returning to Tresor, perhaps for a Klubnacht set in a different space, to continue this journey and share even more of what lives in my heart and mind.  I'm grateful to Tresor and the New Faces concept for this incredible opportunity. I hope this excerpt offers a glimpse into the sonic landscape I explored that night. More than anything, I hope you enjoy the journey.

Vault Sessions #273 - Connor Wall

Out now on Beatport

https://www.beatport.com/release/percussionix/2280205

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

Intec's new release is from UMEK who is a Slovenian artist accredited with kick-starting the techno scene in his home country, before earning critical acclaim on a global scale when he first started his career in the 90s.

Having released on labels ranging from CLR and Novamute right through to Toolroom, in recent years UMEK's own imprint "1605" has also become a main outlet for his music.

People with a good knowledge of technos history will be more than aware of the impact of UMEKs classics tracks, such as his anthemic Gatex that came out only a few years before his first Intec release in 2005.

Having also collaborated with many influential figures such as Chris Liebing and Joey Beltram, this new solo EP is UMEKs third release on Intec.

Titled Percussionix the EP opens with (Mix 1) which centres around a thick set bassline cut with filter sweeps and full of menacing intent. Leading the track is a combination of tribal percussion loops, which provide the track's main driving force.

Track two is UMEKs alternative mix of Percussionix which titled (Mix 2) has a more refined sound with the raw edges of the percussion being rounded off to smooth the sound, and its bassline is left unfiltered so it becomes more of a gradual sweep that grows with building tension.
