Detroit Techno DJ Mixes XI

Set the Mood - a series about opening sets

Mixes

Rene Wise has only been in the game a short time though his network and output hint differently. A drummer from the age of seven, his intuitive ear naturally turned digital and has been catching the attention of industry heads in recent years. Bassiani Podcast 92 is a perfect exemplar for his sound: primal, anarchic and groovy, the fluent brand of techno with which the fresh-faced Brightonian has rightfully earned his stripes.

"The past year has seen a lot of big changes in my life. I moved to Lisbon Portugal, joined the Triangle Agency roster and recently confirmed a new release on one of my dream labels for later this year. Combine that with the forever changing pandemic situation and its safe to say I've had a very full on year! But I'm feeling very optimistic and inspired for the coming months and hope to move ahead, full force!"

"Its especially hard to portray the feeling and power of a DJ set when recording at home, but like all my podcasts, i want to capture the essence of what i would do in the club. The focus on rhythm, atmosphere and layering. Enjoy! "

NDYUKA PODCAST #14

WINTI DANSI 

WINTI is a spiritual belief which lives under the six ndyuka tribes in Surinam. The dancers prepared their bodies with herbs and are therefore able to dance through the fire. While doing the WINTI DANSI, it is possible for the dancer to go into a trance. The WINTI DANSI is only performed on special occasions. 

This mix is recorded with a closing state of mind. Powerful rhythmic tracks which connects me to my KRAKTI (Powerful) culture. Searching for a bit more edge while keeping consistent rhythms. A bit faster than the other NDYUKA podcasts but never fast for the sake of being fast. 

Just like a WINTI DANSI i love it when people not just hear the music but really feel it. To a point where you could close your eyes and connect with the smallest details without any effort.

(f)unknown - Intercell Indoor 2024 DJ Contest

In our 215th edition of the voxnox podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to STERAC B2B Bastienne. The set was originally recorded on 03.03.2024 at the Daycare event at Bret. 

STERAC, a musical persona of Steve, thrives on Planet Rachmad. Unlike his other aliases which explore dub, disco, or house music, STERAC is dedicated to the darker, deeper realms of techno. This side is manifested in signature tracks across prominent labels like M-Plant, Tresor, Klockworks, Afterlife, Mote Evolver, Indigo Aera, and Delsin. 

Over the years, Bastienne has crafted her unique DJ sound through continual exploration and enjoyment of diverse sounds. As a versatile performer, she seizes every chance to lead club-goers on an engaging musical journey. Whether performing solo, delivering groovy, rhythmic techno sets, or teaming up with her friend VUUR for lively back-to-back house sets, Bastienne immerses herself fully.

Voxnox Podcast 215 - Sterac B2b Bastienne

BCCO Podcast 380 is very special one. Today we are honoured to have electronic music pioneer Steve Rachmad aka STERAC with us with a two-hour set that was recorded live for promoter 01366 at the White Hotel in Manchester, UK.

Steve has used a range of aliases over his career reflecting his diverse outputs covering dub, disco and house. But STERAC’s focus has always been on the no-nonsense, darker, and deeper side of techno and this set is no exception to that.

We hope and expect you will love this set just as much as we did.

BCCO Mix Series 380: Sterac

(f)unknown for STILTECOUPÉ @ DE FIK GARDEN DJ CONTEST

Set the Mood with (f)unknown!

For the 9th episode in the series, I've invited (f)unknown to showcase their vision of an opening set. (f)unknown believes that an opening set shouldn't be too dull, and they clearly demonstrate this in their mix. I personally love the opening track, and from there they build with rolling, deep, and sometimes hypnotic tracks, ensuring the set is engaging and perfectly sets the mood for what's to come by infusing energy in just the right way. (fu)nknown says: "For us, a perfect opening set warms you up and makes you eager for the sets that follow, but it should never be boring. This is challenging because an opening set shouldn't be too high-energy right away."

(f)unknown is a DJ and producer duo from Gouda. Ruben and Tobias started this duo because they shared a passion for music that perfectly complemented each other. This passion spans multiple genres, which sometimes makes choosing tracks difficult. However, blending these genres creates a unique sound, which you can experience in this set: techno, rolling, groovy with house elements.

Their favorite moment in the set is around 35:30. Here, they mix in a breakbeat-like track by Rene Wise, breaking up the set and then ramping up both the BPM and the energy.

With gigs at Techno Tuin Festival and club Puin, they are steadily making a name for themselves, and rightfully so! I'm thrilled to share their sound with you. Let us know what you think, and don't forget to dance and enjoy!

Set the Mood with Strave!

Strave is the 66th guest of the Set the Mood series. For him, the perfect opening set is about creating space for listeners to slowly let go, guiding them into a shared rhythm where energy can grow naturally. In this two-hour techno journey, he begins with deep and immersive tones that gradually rise in intensity. Every transition is shaped with care, evoking emotion and drawing the audience into a hypnotic and organic flow. Inspired by last summer and the unforgettable sounds of Dekmantel Sunday, the set carries freedom, energy, and rhythm through every beat.

Set the Mood with Dieze!

As the 67th guest of the Set the Mood series, Dieze shares his vision of what makes a perfect opening set. For him, such a set should truly evolve, even more than a peak-time slot. It begins calm, warm, and inviting, then gradually moves toward deeper and grooving territory, sometimes solemn yet always engaging, without ever becoming overly intense. That balance is essential for him, not only in the later stages of the set but also in the moments leading up to them.

Usually dabbling in electro, dub, garage, and bass, and in earlier years immersed in house, italo, techno, and more ambient sounds, Dieze has always kept a wide-ranging collection. For this Set the Mood mix, he has gathered tracks he had long been eager to play but could not fit into other sets. Through this selection, he has sought to embody the qualities he values in an opening journey, and he hopes it resonates.

Set the Mood with L-Tuziasm!

As the 68th guest of the Set the Mood series, DJ and visual artist L-Tuziasm presents his vision of a perfect opening set. For him, it is about creating space for visitors to arrive, setting the atmosphere for the beginning of the night, and gradually building it together. With his broad record collection, sense of mood, and joy behind the decks, he offers glimpses of what lies ahead, shaping a musical prologue that sets the tone for a beautiful evening.

L-Tuziasm began playing vinyl at the age of fifteen and soon found his way into the Utrecht underground through parties and encounters with other DJs. In the early 2000s he became a familiar face in the city’s techno scene. He performed at events ranging from squats to legal venues, and between 2000 and 2010 co-organized intimate parties such as Sound of Chill-Style, Back to Techno, TechniekLokaal, and the monthly night Chillegal Beats at ACU. His sets took him from canal cellars to venues like Tivoli de Helling and other stages across the Netherlands.

His style, which he describes as Technorientated music, is a versatile blend of influences from techno, house, and related genres in the broadest sense. The result is an energetic and rhythmic musical experience.

Over the years, his focus gradually shifted towards visual art. Today, L-Tuziasm is active mainly as an artist, with work visible in public spaces, galleries, and art venues. Yet his love for music remains just as strong. His record collection continues to grow, and from time to time he returns to the decks with the same passion, joy, and sharp ear for the dance floor.

For his Set the Mood mix, L-Tuziasm carefully crafted an opening set performed entirely on vinyl, using two decks and a simple two-channel mixer without effects. This no-nonsense approach brings DJing back to its purest form: enjoyment, selection, timing, and feeling. The mix is a journey through twenty-five years of electronic music on vinyl, ranging from deep underground tracks to more accessible records, all combined into a diverse whole. In his own words, it is Technorientated music — a personal style where influences from techno, house, and related genres come together.

Set the Mood with Hedemann!

As the 69th guest of the Set the Mood series, Hedemann shares her vision of what a perfect opening set should be. For her, an opening set is all about guiding people into a certain mood. The music is there to draw the crowd in and prepare them for what is yet to come. It is a dialogue of questions and answers: starting slower, deeper, with light percussion, then gradually offering more to spark excitement, before easing back into calmer tracks. She plays with energy in a way that warms up the floor without rushing, carefully building tension to keep people longing for more, hyped and intrigued.

Detail and subtlety are central to her approach. By weaving soundscapes that immerse the audience while keeping the energy low, she creates space for anticipation. The key lies in evolving without the crowd even noticing, like a slow-cooked meal that gains depth and flavor with time.

Hedemann is a techno DJ and producer from the Netherlands whose sound spans a wide spectrum, from groovy percussive techno to raw old-school driving techno. Her sets are unmistakable, filled with hypnotic atmospheres and driven by a powerful rhythm that delivers both adrenaline and predictability. It is just enough to let the audience fully surrender to the moment. On the dance floor, her music makes people feel energized, welcome, and free. It is more than a sound; it defines the experience.

Her love for music began at an early age, when she would daydream about performing on stage. Hip-hop first captured her imagination, until her first rave changed everything. From that moment, she envisioned herself behind the decks. During the lockdown years, she gained invaluable experience playing at illegal raves, sharpening her craft in front of raw and unpredictable crowds.

Since then, Hedemann has performed at renowned venues such as Oost in Groningen, Heineken Experience Hall in Amsterdam, and De Pip in The Hague. Internationally, she has played at Groundless Factory in Beijing and GreenFest in Kosovo.

Beyond her performances, Hedemann carries a deeper mission to nurture balance within the electronic music scene. She believes people attend techno events for more than just the music. They come to feel, to escape, to reconnect. Her goal is to keep the scene both musically intense and mentally grounded. Wild, yet in balance.

Hedemann - Set the Mood 069 (Oefenmeesters)

For the 70th edition of the Set the Mood series, the spotlight turns to UNALOME, a techno DJ based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Embodying the essence of her name, which signifies the path of freedom, UNALOME’s sets are a vibrant fusion of organic elements, psychedelic textures, and tribal rhythms. Her sound ranges from deep and dubbed-out to more groovy and driving techno. She enjoys blending these different shades, bridging music from the past and the present.

For UNALOME, a perfect opening set is shaped by the atmosphere of the moment — the vibe, the time, the location, and the artists on the lineup. This philosophy inspired the idea behind this podcast: to record her opening set at Balans. Capturing that moment live felt like the most authentic approach.

Unfortunately, her recorder failed during the set. But with the records still fresh in her memory and bag, she decided to re-record the mix exactly as she played it the night before.

Balans is a techno event and label based in Nijmegen, curated by Tripeo and Locus Error. It’s a night created by and for true electronic music enthusiasts, which makes it something truly special.

For this edition, UNALOME had the honor of opening the night for two powerhouse women in the scene: OZUM and INEL. She began her mix deep and dubby, gradually building up the energy as the night unfolded.

Enjoy this vinyl-only mix and the beautiful tracks from these inspiring artists and labels.
