For our June episode we are delighted to welcome Georgian force 3AM, one of the persons behind @transformamovement & FLINTA* event series held in Bassiani. Born and raised in Tbilisi, 3AM’s driving sets and impeccable selection have made her a regular in Georgian clubs.

For this new mix in our series, 3AM offers us a superb set recorded last February 16th at one of Tbilisi’s oldest clubs: Mtkarvze. Located in a historic building on the bank of Mtkvari river, this very special venue inspired 3AM’s journey, a blend of dubby and pure hypnotic techno. Thank you for this special mix Ana!

Polygonia's (@polygonia) creative world knows no boundaries. It is a project from Munich-based instrumentalist Lindsey Wang that incorporates production, DJing, illustration, graphic design, and photography. Wang is a core part of the IO collective which works all across the audiovisual spectrum, and also runs her own label QEONE. Pining her down musically is hard as she isn't defined by tempo, but instead blends ambient and techno into soundscapes defined by great sound designs, texture and emotion.

Wang's love of exploring a dizzyingly diverse array of musical codes and colours is evident on this week's mix. The 90-minute showcase is a portal into a hyper-real world - an alien yet organic soundtrack of sub-aquatic synths, bioluminescent melodies and pulsing deep space rhythms. Pads drip and ripple, drums are dubbed out but direct and the mood is always brilliantly curious.

IO Podcast Series Episode 061 mixed by TENO.
@teno222

For the 61st episode of our podcast series, we have a special mix for you, recorded by the the very talented producer TENO from Osaka, Japan. 

TENO’s productions are a vibrant blend of resonating low frequencies and rhythmic grooves, anchored in a very minimal, straight and psychedelic techno; precisely modulating the sound until it merges with the body. His tracks, mostly crafted out of recordings from modular synths, have already seen releases from various labels in several countries. TENO is also one of the cofounders of the label @aumrecordings. 

Since this mix was live recorded at  the opening set of a night in @vent-tokyo, it begins with soothing, organic ambient sounds and gradually transitions to more energetic, percussive beats. This progression mirrors the increasing crowd and the vibrant energy on the dance floor, maintaining the club's immersive and dynamic live atmosphere throughout.

"The concept of this mix is inspired by the gentle breeze in nature. I envisioned a summer festival deep in the mountains on a sunny day, where there is a really nice breeze, then it turns into a beautiful sunset. This mix is probably the most euphoric one I have ever made." — Wata Igarashi (@wata)

His performances often last three hours, yet feel like just one track due to their extreme depth, calm restraint, and perfect balance of strength and delicacy. This meticulous Japanese spirit ensures everything is as it should be, earning him the reputation of a "resilient and highly fluid" electronic maestro. Igarashi describes his unique sound as "cosmic drama," blending dense, highly crystallized rhythms with psychedelic tones. His crystalline sound and masterful control over rhythm, with his signature fast-paced arpeggios, stand out on the dance floor, creating a continuous dancing experience.

His productions are meticulously crafted for maximum impact, reflecting a certain Japanese aesthetic. This is showcased brilliantly in a series of EPs on Midgar, Bitta, and The Bunker NY, receiving widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike, and appearing in RA’s top tracks of 2019. Earlier this year, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the renowned London nightclub fabric, Wata Igarashi and DJ Nobu, two Japanese techno giants, were featured together, each presenting their extraordinary talent tracks "Flares" and "泡 (Abuku)."

Continuum: a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

As we keep weaving our Continuum's sonic tapestry, we have reached our next stop. For our third ritual, we welcome Daniel[i] who will thread a new musical chapter for us. Daniel is an artist we have been lucky to bump into at multiple events, and no wonder why. You can find him performing one of his live or DJ sets (which have taken him to iconic clubs and festivals like OHM, Tresor, C12, Perpendicular, La Valle Electrique…) or collaborating with super projects like Circle of Live. His releases can be found on iconic labels like Alpengluhen, 012, Danza Nativa, Lowless… and we are just naming a few! He also runs the beloved Whispering Signals labels and adjacent projects. And he even has time to curate for incredible festivals like La Nature (which we had the pleasure to visit this year). A busy bee!

We are delighted to have him join The Continuum with this real treat: a recorded set during a Brandwerk anniversary event. Daniel is a master of deep and introspective sounds in any shape or form: ambient, deep techno, dub… and for this one, he delivered a delight of dub goodness: expect a deep groove that would go down a treat as a warmup or at the afters. A heads-down mix drenched in echoes and delays.  A timeless selection by Daniel.

Xanexx (SCOPÁVIK)
한국의 짧은 전자 음악 문화 속에서, Xanexx는 2008년부터 서울을 기반으로 DJ/프로듀서로 활동해왔다. 그는 자신을 Xanexx(자넥스)라고 지칭하면서부터 이전의 The Riotz 활동과 구분되는 테크노 음악 작업에 집중하기 시작했다. 이후 그는 ‘Hexa Records’라는 레이블을 설립하고, ‘Grenzsituation’ EP를 발매하여 테크노에 깊이 뿌리를 두는 음악적 자아를 선보였다.
또한 그는 서울 최초의 테크노 클럽인 ‘vurt’의 레지던트 DJ로 활동하였으며, 그 기간동안 한국 테크노의 공연-예술적 위치를 확립했다. vurt에서 독립한 이후 그는 여전히 서울의 다양한 클럽과 축제를 놓치지 않는 DJ로 한국의 테크노 씬을 대표하고 있다. Xanexx는 한국의 대표적인 테크노 레이블/팟캐스트인 Scopavik에서 Refracted, Evigt Mörker, Pharaoh & Yogg, 그리고 Pris와 같은 딥 테크노 아티스트들의 리믹스가 포함된 EP를 발매했다. 또한, 2022년에 ‘Alpha Range’ 정규 앨범을 발매함으로써 그만의 독특한 사운드 디자인 작업을 보여주었다. 그가 디제잉과 음악에서 표현하는 소리는 정확한 척도를 표현하기보다는 비어있는 공간을 채우는 확장된 역할로 작용한다. 사운드 속 각 불협화음적 요소는 공간을 창조하고 해방하는 존재감을 만들어 낸다. 그리고 마침내 그의 사운드는 춤에 국한되지 않고 독창적인 감정과 감각의 경험을 심어준다.

Scøpe (SCOPÁVIK)
한국의 테크노 프로듀서/디제이이자 테크노 레이블 SCOPÁVIK의 공동 설립자인 Scøpe는 2014년 데뷔 EP를 발매한 이후부터 현재까지 국내외 여러 레이블에서 꾸준히 작품을 발표하며 특유의 질감과 그루브를 가진 테크노를 들려주고 있다.
Scøpe는 디제이 셋에서 각 트랙마다의 리듬 구조를 유기적으로 얽고 점층적으로 쌓아간다. 이를 통해 새롭게 만들어지는 그루브는 청중들로 하여금 무의식적 움직임을 이끌어내고, 이성과 본능의 교차점을 만들어 테크노 음악만이 줄 수 있는 기쁨을 선사한다.

A surefire provider of deep, complex weapons for the dance floor and beyond, French-born, Berlin-based artist Kangding Ray has been minting some of the most strikingly unique techno records in recent memory. His body of work for some of the most reputed record labels out there, including Raster Noton, Stroboscopic Artefacts and his own outlet, ara, cuts an introspective path, halfway modular-leaning escapology and beat-driven abstraction. From his background in architecture, his musical approach retains that fondness for structure and the creation, or re-creation of space, both as an actual object and a mental projection. Immerse yourself into KR's minutely designed headspace with this two-hour deep and intimate audio dive.
