Throughout summer we’ve had several moments of joy, but we wanted to make sure we wrapped it up with something special. The final event of the season was our traditional open air gathering organized with the guys from nite vibes. This year, at a completely new location. 

Situated in the forest of the outskirts of Prague, the party exceeded the exceptations. Right after Shoal’s live set, @n-c-o-l stepped in with a set that was beyond ecstatic.

It’s hard to find the right words to describe what her sounds transmitted to the crowd, so we made sure to capture it instead. 

Take a glimpse yourself & dig into an hour and a half of sweaty & muddy techno that will take you back to the foggy air as the sun was rising.

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Hitting the scene hard in 2016 with his debut 4-tracker for Rotterdam’s Common Thread Records, Identified Patient’s sonic personality was born through downtempo saturation, club/wave fusion, and fuzzy acid. It comes as no surprise that his influences reach as far and wide as they do; Identified Patient is one of the rare artists whose sound can be recognised immediately, leading him to being very highly in-demand on the international market.

Identified Patient has the digging and aesthetic qualities of an artist’s artist while maintaining an understanding of music that makes him a hit even among newcomers to our music, and with a career that blasts through every coming year, we are proud to host him as our final artist on VOLTAGE Podcast.

Interview & Tracklist

VOLTAGE Podcast 40 - Identified Patient

On June 23, 2022, Revier Südost and Gravity Network invited Bloomfeld, Chloe Lula, DVS1, Katty Lange and Nicky Böhm to gather for a panel discussion titled Techno Capitalism & Instagram Economy, to deconstruct the title loaded with many positive and negative connotations, and to unpack some of the topics and issues associated with business side of electronic music industry. What went down was a lively conversation on the notorious business techno, on straddling the middle between the underground and the mainstream, artist visibility and the role of photography, today’s relevance of DJ mixes and much, much more.

Techno Capitalism & Instagram Economy [Gravity Berlin #1 Talks]

Our final mix of the year welcomes Ute.Rec co-founder Marius Bø, whom I had the distinct pleasure of meeting in the Norwegian mountains this summer. Comprised entirely of unreleased material from the collective, Marius' composition is slow-burning alchemy, pure oneiric fire, unforgettable from first spark. "Space does not exist," instructs Louise Bourgeois, "it is just a metaphor for the structure of our existence." Listening, we dissolve, recalling the somatic wisdom of those who would sculpt the physical to capture the invisible.

Sure Thing Mix 118: Marius Bø

On the last two weekends of January 2023 we exchanged some mutual affection with Vitamin, our favorite music pit and the best crew from Brno. We decided to immortalise the two long nights with a few small doses of Vitamin A extracts – five recordings from events in Prague and Brno.

5th recording captures the b2b chemistry between NCOL and Yan, who closed Vitamin's basement on January 27.
