TILT.cast #11 by Menal Batti

“This set represents me as Menal Batti and not the old Ehrenschwesta. It is a mix of hypnotic sounds, percussions, and drum tracks. I am often trying to create a harmony between something to listen to and something to dance to.”

Born in Sweden but operating out of Berlin, Philippa Pacho has been making waves in the scene as of late, notably amassing a stream of incendiary performances at some of the world’s finest (and most demanding) clubs, including Bassiani and Fuse. Herald of a fast-paced, no-surrender type of DJing, all eyes set on bringing crowds to a simmer thru and thru, Philippa muscles her way across various techno sub-genres and rhythms with conviction and poise, alternatively pushing classic Detroit-influenced material, Nordic minimalism and more Continental European-informed expressions, as she harnesses the very best of these through uncompromising selections with a pristine mixing technique. Shockwave incoming.

A French DJ of Mauritanian descent based in Paris, Orphée has been mixing and, above all, collecting electronic music for the past eight years.
A fan of organic and mental techno, he mixes and layers tracks to guide his audience toward moments of collective euphoria.
Faithful to the scene's legacy, he skillfully handles its codes with respect while reinterpreting them through the lens of new sonic languages.
Orphée has shared the stage with renowned DJs such as Stef Mendesidis, Nastia, Kaiser, Steffi, Sol Ortega, Ignez, Justyn Nell, and François X, to name just a few.
He is the co-founder and artistic director of the label and collective Void Records, now a firmly established presence in the electronic music scene in Paris.
His musical project, however, is far from monolithic. A connoisseur of electronic music in all its diversity, he seamlessly oscillates between styles and genres, always in service of the groove, the dancefloor, and the dancers.
He is also a passionate lover of the art of the opening set, an exercise he regularly hones with meticulous attention to detail.

Il est le cofondateur et directeur artistique du label et collectif Void Records, désormais bien établi sur la scène électronique parisienne.
Son projet musical est pourtant loin d'être monolithique. Fin connaisseur de la musique électronique dans toute sa diversité, il oscille avec fluidité entre les styles et les genres, toujours au service du groove, du dancefloor et des danseurs.
Il est également un passionné de l'art du set d'ouverture, un exercice qu'il peaufine régulièrement avec un souci du détail méticuleux.

Born and raised in Southern Italy, Jacom is an emerging techno DJ and producer based in Zurich. In 2006, he fully dedicated himself to electronic music, which quickly brought him behind the decks. When he moved to Zurich in 2012, his career took an exponential upswing.

In 2016, the talented Italian became a member of the renowned label Adroit and has been an integral part of the collective ever since.

In addition to numerous performances in Italy — e.g. Amnesia (Milano), Azimut (Torino), Cosmic Festival (Firenze) — and throughout Switzerland, Jacom has also demonstrated his skills in other European countries. Berlin is also one of his achievements, where he played in well-known venues such as Anomalie, Renate, Else, Æden, or About Blank.

Jacom is characterized by his groovy and hypnotic sets, which is also reflected in his productions. In the summer of 2023, Jacom undertook a completely new project by founding his own label Reverse, to expand and deepen the techno world in all of its shades. The start of Reverse has already been a huge success, thanks to the creation of a various artists compilation — widely supported from all over the globe.

We are happy to announce that Tzunamicast 004 with Muski is now available on SoundCloud.

Prepare yourself for a journey through cutting edge music and captivating themes. 
Dive into a dynamic conversation with Muski as we explore the vibrant world of techno and what makes it truly unique. Join our passionate community of listeners and experience this unforgettable sonic adventure.

Muski, born and raised in Malta, discovered his passion for electronic music through the local underground techno scene in 2014. Known for his fast-paced, hypnotic style and refined track selection, he began playing gigs shortly after. In 2015, he co-founded Xpose, hosting artists like Newa, Amotik, CJ Bolland, and Exium. Since 2018, he has been a key figure behind In.di.go and waX—two major local events developed with Solid Tracks Records—featuring acts such as ANNĒ, Alarico, KR!Z, and Blasha & Allatt.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF ASKING MUSKI A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TECHNO SCENE:


WHAT DO YOU THINK THE TECHNO SCENE NEEDS LESS OF RIGHT NOW?

"THE TECHNO SCENE IS STRONG AT THE MOMENT....YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE JAM-PACKED DANCEFLOORS. I WOULD SAY HOWEVER THAT WE NEED LESS PEOPLE USING MOBILES ON THE DANCEFLOOR. IT KILLS THE VIBE, AND THE INDIVIDUAL STOPS BEING PRESENT IN THE MOMENT. THE CONNECTION PEOPLE HAVE WITH THE MUSIC, AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CROWD AND THE DJ IS SOMETHING SPECIAL WHEN IT HAPPENS THE RIGHT WAY, AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE LOST."


CAN TECHNO STILL DISTURB, OR HAS IT BECOME TOO COMFORTABLE?

"OVER THE YEARS TECHNO HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MAIN GENRES WHERE PEOPLE CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF COMMUNITY. DESPITE THIS, THE OLD VIEW OF TECHNO, WHICH WAS SEEN AS A KIND OF TABOO GENRE MAKING IT A DISRUPTIVE FORCE, IS SLOWLY FADING MAKING IT MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE. MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE SURROUNDING TECHNO."


IS INNOVATION IN ELECTRONIC MUSIC BEING LED BY SOUND, CONTEXT, OR ATTITUDE TODAY?

"IN THE LAND OF MAINSTREAM TECHNO, I BELIEVE INNOVATION IS BEING DRIVEN BY ATTITUDE. IN CERTAIN CASES, I FEEL THAT TECHNO NO LONGER CARRIES THAT FUTURISTIC VIBE ANYMORE – IT’S TRUE THAT THERE’S A LOT OF GREAT MUSIC COMING OUT BUT TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE IT EASIER FOR LESS MUSICALLY-MINDED ARTISTS AND HAS ALSO STIFLED HUMAN CREATIVITY. IT’S EASIER TO BUILD WHEN THERE ARE ALL THESE TEMPLATES AROUND.
AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, SOME SUPER TALENTED ARTISTS ARE PUSHING THROUGH THIS AND USING THE IMPROVED TOOLS TO GET EVEN MORE CREATIVE AND PRODUCE SOME AMAZING TECHNO SOUNDS."

Wish you all a wavy ride, TZUNAMI.
