Raw Techno Sets

Harnessing a two-hour tempest of clinically laid-down grooves and mind-bending circuitry this week is Italian-born, Berlin-based tempo musher and producer Kaiser. Through a solid number of releases for his self-operated imprint K S R via releases for Rotterdam's finest MORD, Kaiser has cemented his reputation as a sure-handed 4x4 manipulator, always fit for cracking the whip of righteously practical techno upon crowds of justice-craving ravers. Hang on to your shorts.

Label favourite and one of the true new masters of the techno game, British jockey and producer Rene Wise brings along his unmatched groove science and heavyweight punch in our weekly radio series. Having made a name for himself combining the untamed rawness of evil-minded machine funk wares with proper immersive club-focused narratives, Wise lets loose the hounds of 4x4-ruled fury for two hours of deft, knee-buckling floor manoeuvres. Wild.

Roaming the grey zone betwixt deep-end floatingness and tremor-inducing 4x4 velocity, Berlin-based producer and RYC affiliate Arthur Robert pops by our weekly radio series with three hours of his epic-sized, body and soul-fulfilling blends. All in on the paced-up grooves and highly sensitive harmonics, Robert dishes out a masterclass in rhythmic and melodic tightrope walking. Charting new pleasure spots for your mind to lull itself in, this set also offers craggy reliefs and brutalist architectures for your body to either parkour over or rave your life away with inextinguishable flare. Weather forecast for the day: stormy with heavy squalls of 909 blowing across. Oilskin and waders recommended.

Breaking the week in with the sound and the fury, Mould Audio boss Ruben Ganev pops by our podcast series with a couple hours of his signature deep-diving, skull-crushing wares. Merging a surgical and aggressive approach to programming with reverb-soaked, oceanfloor-like ambiences, the Sofia-based aesthete heaves us under the dark umbrella of his sunken imaginarium; lushly adorned with propulsive warehouse grooves, left-of-centre divagations and abysmal chasms to gladly let yourself get engulfed in. Neptunian techno at its finest.

Signed to Radio Slave’s Rekids, Enemy Records and Planet Rhythm, the young Brazilian producer has skyrocketed to the forefront of the techno game, earning himself accolades from some of the world techno scene’s big guns including Marcel Dettmann, DVS1, Setaoc Mass, Ben Klock and more with impressive consistency. His trade of choice, i.e. dealing out hypnosis-inducing, sanity-combusting club material of the finest ilk, bursts to further explosive effect throughout the present mix. Covering two hours of blazing 4x4 rapids, rip-roaring telepathic machine talk and other incendiary, alien-engineered wares, Marcal stakes out his territory sheer badman style.

Hot on the heels of our successful takeover of Brussels’ seminal institution, Fuse, fellow resident DJ and Metropolis co-founder Altinbas pops by our weekly series with two hours exploring the broadest part of his influences, somewhere between dubbed-out meanders, UK bass-influenced motifs and straightforward techno buildups that pack a punch. Moving the cursor from immersive post-industrial scapes to pared-down, club-oriented architectonics, the Belgian jockey and producer will have you mesmerised from start to finish. Previously released on Token, Altinbas has more releases in the pipes for VOLTAGE and SK_Eleven, in addition to the imminent launch of his own record label, Observer Station. Keep your ears to the ground!

500 podcasts in and counting is a thing to contemplate, and we are forever grateful for the amazing lot of people supporting RYC in any way - from tuning in our weekly show to buying our releases (bonus cheers to those who do both), y’all are the reason why we’re doing it, so shout outs! Such a crucial milestone in our development was to be celebrated proper, and we’re chuffed to bits to welcome a longtime hero of ours in the series, Rødhad, to steer us into absolute bliss! True to his exploratory approach, moving the cursor elegantly from hi-intensity 4x4 traction to chiselled ambient techno spans, through hybrid entrancers and inch-perfectly engineered plot twists, the Dystopian and WSNWG spearhead has us tip-toeing the edge between big-room trouble and the most intense Martini effect. Cast off, trip out, elevate.

Boss of Katana Records, also known as one half of Italian duo Funk Assault, Bergamo-based operator Alarico steps in the series with two hours of hi-octane state of siege. Pulling out all the stops on his way to peak-time bliss, Alarico multiplies frantic angle-shifts and radical U-turns, nervously oscillating between raging uptempo whorls and fractured dystopian ambiences to weave his own compelling narrative that thinks and ticks outside the main genre’s box. Proper flawless and highly selective slice of mind-razing machine wares.

A hyperactive merchant of heavyweight floor weaponry that for all that doesn’t lack complexity, Berlin-based Italian producer Gianluca Caiati alias Kaiser has established his name as one of the today's techno scene’s most potent assets through a relentless flow of grade-A releases for the likes of K S R, Planet Rhythm, MORD and more. Clocking in as the master of ceremony for our next round of 909-fuelled audio assault, Caiati gives us a much satisfying glimpse into his fine engineering of industrial-leaning rhythms and hypnotic whorls of dubbed-out machine bombast. Swarms of emphatic churners bumping into droney hardware computations, it’s a feast of tough-leathered 4x4 explosiveness that’s about to come pelting down on your system. Immune system-boosting rave material all the way, treat yourself.

An increasingly potent driving force in today’s techno environment, Georgia has through its key clubs Bassiani, Khidi and Mtkvarze, helped Tbilisi and its surroundings shape into of the most intriguing and reliable hotspots for emerging DJs and producers. One of its most talented heralds and a surefire groove rider at that, Yanamaste graces us with a choice two hours of the entrancingly deep and bumpy 4x4 epics he’s been laying down for INNSIGNN, Lyree and Khidi in recent times. Paced-up and animal to the core, his vision sweeps an extra wide range of shades and reliefs, nimbly moving the cursor from classic Berlin-inspired blends to full-fledged magmatic trance, via Birmingham-style projections and a solid dose of folk-infused harmonics. Raw yet technical, organic with a hint of hypermodern hoodoo to it, Yanamaste’s sound is the definition of hardware techno with soul, cut to ram-raid and elevate in equal measure.

A rising name in Berlin’s ever crowded pool of talents, Eerste Communie resident Windfuhr has been developing his own idiosyncratic persona at the junction of heavy-traction 4x4 rhythms and deep, hypnotic folds of intricate melodies and exotica-laced electronics. Minimal in essence but maximal in effect, his compositions bridge the gap between stripped-back functionality and dreamy escapology, neatly coordinating the throbbing cavalcade of racy uptempo machine funk with layered, modular-like transmissions as his feverish drum programming leads the charge. No doubt Windfuhr’s name is one you’ll hear a lot more in 2024.

Channeling forces and energies through deft mashups of pummeling industrial mechanics, steroid-boosted 4/4 swing and further trance-inducing, bleep-laden synthery, Bas runs the hoodoo down for RYC with lethal efficiency and utmost panache.

No superfluous fats or idle moves on the menu of our next guest's mix. True to his trademark hi-NRG blends of iron-pumping, rotating tech grooves and anti-Freudian machine funk, Spain's low-key but keen-eared big-room proxy Kike Pravda dishes out a savage mashup of brooding minimal juggernauts, telepathic dubs and blackout-inducing sweatbox melters straight out another dimension. Boot up the monster, cozy up and let the devil's engines purr, this one leaves wisps of vapour in its trail.

Routinely playing psy-ops in the ballroom, Croatian deep grooves texturalist Volster sure is up to speed on telekinetic crowd control and up-the-roof traction. Through a handful surgically designed EPs for various labels including his own platforms Out Of Place and Secession, all pushing back the limits between 909-powered body slamming, entrancing abstraction and deep-sleep intrusiveness, Marko has kept carving a sound signature both sweet and rugged, churning yet breaching into ethereal cerebrality. His new mix for RYC fits all aspects of his aforementioned genius, fusing hi-voltage machinic rage and left-of-centre tech funk with his ever reliable knack for creating deep and dynamic momentums on the dance floor. Reap the whirlwind.
