His tunes and sets exude raw energy and spontaneity, leaving an indelible mark on the underground scene.

Adroit Podcast Series #86 - Roseen

1. Holoverse
2. Exo-Genetics
3. Megastructures
4. Post-AI-Society
5. Mind-Interface
6. Time Dilation
7. Quantum Era
8. Nanobot Augmented
9. Celestial Colonies
10. Hyper Connected

We are glad to have Oliver Rosemann onboard again with no less than 10 techno tracks on an extended digital EP. The german producer is well known for his trademark sound, always direct but full of details, showcasing his awesome skills in the studio.

Holoverse starts the sonic odyssey, direct to the dancefloor, with a crispy and subtle distorted sequence floating over a sharp groove. Things keep hypnotic and the mental approach is only disturbed by occasional claps and reverberated washes.

Exo-Genetics keeps things busy, providing the tension again with continuous sequences and reverberated organic percussion wisely programmed.Things get darker on Megastructures, more reverberated textures, precise kick drums on a mainly percussive approach making this one the perfect mixing tool.

Post AI Society returns to tension and synth action using a constantly evolving one bar loop progressively spiced with several drum layers.Wait until the end for a crazy effected galore that will sure make some trouble on the proper dancefloors.

Mind Interface is metallic and obsessive, the main FM sequence is the starring here as the title suggests, a truly ming burner. Time Dilation looks like a continuation of the previous one but using more high pitched synth lines and a broken groove.

Quantum Era stops the machine abruptly, acting as a beatless interlude to have a little rest before the last sprint, with Nanobot-Augmented at the ignitor, providing the scifi slice in this anabolic workout, a mental driller for the dark hours in your favorite smokey and flashy spot.

Celestial Colonies reminds of  the best of British tradition from the early Surgeon stuff, funky, shuffled and asymmetric.

Hyper Connected is the last cut, obsessive and elastic with a relentless sequence drilling the walls spiced with Fm percussion details and synthesized sweeps.

Introducing Guest #7 on T2G

For his age, Connor Wall has already become a key figure in Naarm’s (Melbourne) techno scene. In the booth, he’s supported vital acts like Freddy K, Norman Nodge, Amotik, Fiedel, Nene H, ANNĒ & Keith Carnal, as well as displaying his concrete approach to mixing during opening, headline, and closing sets for just about any club in the city you can name. Production wise, Connors creative constancy has allowed him to shape his sound into the weighty, thunderous, and effective tracks you can hear on labels like Amsterdam’s Float Records, Glasgow’s Oscillator One and Naarm-based labels Bomphcast Audio & Connection Verified. There is a potent, heart-palpitating sonic representation that accompanies anything Wall does, and part of the reason why he is such an exciting prospect leading into the future.

His devotion to a particular sound and approach has driven his ability to grow rapidly since entering the scene just a few years ago, and it is this obsession that will continue to allow him to blossom. He’s an artist to watch by all accounts, and whether it’s DJing or producing, he is emerging as an essential feature of Australia.

Having recently come together with key figures in the Naarm/Melbourne scene, Connor and the crew established their own record label, @circuitbreaker_naarm which has already showcased some exceptional artists already

Connor Wall | T2G Podcast 007

In the 144th episode of Techno Cartel Podcast we are pleased to host MSDMNR

Having cut his teeth in the tougher fringes of the electronic gameʼs spectrum under a flurry of aliases in the past, Miro Pajic went on to write new material in the guise of MSDMNR in more recent years, releasing a handful of satisfyingly sturdy but hyper dynamic releases via his eponymous imprint, eventually taking his inimitable jagged and reverb-soaked signature to 30D Records in 2020 with the streamlined ʻEmergencyʼ EP followed by releases on HAYES, MindTrip, Jonas Kopp's TREMSIX, Kaiser's KSR and Illegal Alien Records.
Miroʼs music dwells the grey zone between ruff and bleepy rave material and further deep-diving excursions. If heʼs taken his place amongst the most dextrous groove manipulators out there, no doubt the reason lies in his inimitable flair for crafting pieces and moments as effortlessly immersive as they remain proof against time-erodible trends and ephemeral tendencies
