Born in Costa Rica, producer and DJ Linear System bends sound with flawless precision. For #252, he delivers a fully live recorded mix that shows exactly why his sound stands out: intricate layers, sci-fi textures, crisp percussion, and brooding low-ends that pull you deep into his world.

His sets and productions move seamlessly from rough, floor-shaking cuts to clean, reverb-laced tools that twist your mind inside out. With releases on labels like Molecular Recordings, Planet Rhythm, and Modern Minimal he continues to shape a sharp, future-focused sound. Beyond DJing, his releases have received international acclaim and strong support across the scene. 

This is his first and only live set of 2025. 

We’ll let the snippets speak for themselves.

Demolition Live Rec #9 -Justine Perry

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

Reclaim Your City 656 | Arkan

Championing a sound both rugged and trance-inducing, Porto-based Brazilian producer Marcal clocks in this week with two hours blending future-proof warehouse rave material and claustrophobic 4x4 maneuvers. Hot on the heels of his latest ’Nature of the Future’ EP on Donato Dozzy and Neel’s imprint Spazio Disponibile, Marcal takes us on a mind-bending ride down raucous sine-scapes and brooding, verbed-out atmospheres, constantly pushing the envelope of techno as can be experienced these days. Resuming its course as a means for transcending our (currently much gloomy) zeitgeist, techno here gets back on its revolution-friendly tracks, finding its second breath as a metamorphic tool for blazing new paths and routes towards a better, more intelligently designed world. There goes a mix that summons the very finest of Marcal’s boundary-pushing vision and killer knack for crafting memorable and emancipatory floor narratives. Brace yourselves.
