“As the Japanese composer Nas-Kaz once said, sound is like wind — it becomes boring when humans try to control it too much. I feel the same when performing live ambient music. We have reached a time where music cannot be created by thought alone; it has to be allowed to unfold, to breathe on its own terms.”

The honour of the first release on Exploited Ghetto was earned by our Italian friend Mennie. Having earned praise for his collaborative work with Bambook, his debut solo release for Exploited Ghetto featured a tune with airy synths, a layered, catchy percussive groove and mellow early hour vibes.
Today he returns with a brand new brace of tracks, and having spent many nights working his MPC and JX to the max, he has created the awesome 'H.A.P.P.Y. EP'. So press play and enjoy the smiles for miles...

Mennie - H.A.P.P.Y. (Preview) | Exploited

Not quite ambient, not quite club. This mix leans into the in-between space LB Honne carved out—half dreaming, half dancing. The original album floats, but here it glides with intent: transitions stretch, rhythms smudge, and moments you thought were gentle show up with weight. It’s not a reinterpretation, just a different tilt of the head. The future and the past don’t touch—but in this mix, they pass close enough to blur.

Tracklist:
1. musium 
2. viaggio 
3. longing (interlude) 
4. sky funk 
5. come and get me 
6. same again
7. pa ohm 
8. homage to daylight 
9. luv (exit)

LB Honne — Present Future / Here There (Mixed Album)

Bleak, beautiful, and utterly locked in. EPs 1 through 5 trace Evigt Mörker’s early path: from cavernous ritual techno to shimmering, slow-burn transcendence. Each record stands on its own—but mixed together, they feel like one long breath held in the dark. Cold pressure. Deep time. Pure atmosphere.

Evigt Mörker – EPs 1–5 [Live Mixed Sequence]

After visiting the lakeside dreamland last year I couldn't help myself but imagine on the moment what I would play if I had the opportunity to perform there myself (as any DJ would, I guess). I had different archetypes of sets forming in the back of my mind for different times of the day possible, if the opportunity ever came one day. 
So when I got invited to play the opening of Floresta on Sunday, it first came as a bit of a surprise, but the surprise turned into excitement and it was time to prepare a special set where I could dig into my dub techno collection. 
So, I am very happy to share with you the recording of my set, where I finally had the chance to play slow, deep, dubby and sunny techno in such a setting. 
Thank you @wakinglifeportugal for the opportunity. 
I hope you enjoy !

For this episode of our Komorebi Podcast Series, we welcome Swiss DJ, producer, and curator Ben Kaczor, an artist whose sonic language speaks directly to emotion. With a sound that fluidly bridges the introspective and the physical, Kaczor weaves together elements of techno, deep house, and dub techno into minimal yet immersive soundscapes. His sets evoke monochrome atmospheres, subtle melancholy, and deep inner resonance, crafted for spaces of both solitude and connection.

A recent addition to Dial Records and co-founder of St. Odes, his creative path is rooted in a multidimensional approach to sound and art. Whether curating, producing, or performing, Kaczor remains anchored in a clear vision: music to be felt, not deconstructed.

Tune in and dissolve into this timeless sonic journey.

Ben Kaczor #04 - Komorebi Podcast Series

81번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 스위스 출신의 DJ이자 주목받는 프로듀서 Ben Kaczor의 67분 디제이 세트와 함께 합니다. 

벤 카조르는 테크노, 딥 하우스, 덥 테크노 로부터 받은 영향을 미니멀하고 직설적이며 솔직한 미학으로 혼합하여 넓은 감정적 스펙트럼을 가진 독특한 사운드로 표현한다. 그의 음악은 음울하고 단조로운 분위기, 멜랑콜리한 분위기가 균형을 이루며 다양한 환경에서 깊은 내면의 연결을 만들어낸다. 스위스 출신의 DJ이자 프로듀서, 큐레이터인 그는 2023년 Dial Records에 합류하였고, 이후 딥 하우스, 덥 테크노, 그리고 다원 예술을 전문으로 하는 레이블 St. Odes를 공동 설립했다. 카조르는 자신이 진행하는 모든 프로젝트에 걸쳐 '해체된 것이 아니라 느껴지는 것을 창조하는 것’이라는 핵심 가치를 일관되게 적용하고 있다.

A special midweek addition to the Ceremony mix series comes this week from Casper Clark aka Volte-Face. An artist I’ve long admired, Casper has worn many hats over the years including producer, DJ, radio show host and label head but is perhaps best known for his adventures in promoting events across London and further afield, starting out co-booking Adventures in the Beetroot Field at Camden’s Lock Tavern before running the seminal Blogger’s Delight at the same venue, to Glastonbury, The End and everywhere in between. After Blogger’s Delight ended Clark started promoting under the BleeD name for In Strict Tempo favourites Blackest Ever Black, Downwards and Diagonal amongst others. 

This recording, taken from London’s Unfold is a two hour journey of deep, brooding techno Volte-Face is synonymous with. In his own words: “Unfold CIV was my first Volte-Face gig since a fateful show at Tresor in 2019. It was good to be back. Apologies for the occasional glitches in the recording”

Sit back and enjoy, this one’s special.

Ceremony #3: Volte-Face

Some DJs treat genre boundaries like walls; others see them as doors. Craig Gonzalez belongs firmly to the latter camp. A staple of Detroit’s underground and a resident DJ at Paxahau’s Third Thursday monthly, he has long been drawn to what happens when techno’s linear propulsion collides with the restless syncopation of drum & bass. That liminal space, the “grey area” between the two, has become one of the most fertile playgrounds in electronic music over the past decade, and Gonzalez shows why. In this mix, recorded as the opening set on the Movement main stage, he handles tempo as a fluid variable, shifting gears without friction and letting polyrhythms function as the connective tissue. It’s the kind of approach that resists the obvious peak and instead builds a topology of groove, a groove that bends but doesn’t break, carrying dancers across time signatures almost without them noticing. 

And while opening a stage that would later host Deepchord, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Octave One, and Jeff Mills could be seen as a daunting warm-up role, Gonzalez treats it less as preparation and more as architecture. Across ninety minutes, he layers patterns with patience, calibrating intensity so that tension rises and releases without tipping into spectacle. The set moves like a conversation that shifts from whispers to declarations, never overstated but always persuasive. It’s a reminder that flow is not just sequencing but narrative logic, and that true mastery lies not in domination of a dancefloor but in shaping the conditions for everything that comes after.

Berlin-based DJ Jesse G is known for her energetic, genre-spanning sets that surprise and delight crowds, her sound is a playful, wide-ranging medley of deep, metallic, trippy, groovy, jacking, and percussive techno, with diverse rhythms and a UK bass influence.

Her distinctive sound is also informed by an encyclopedic understanding of electronic music and from honing her craft over her nearly six years as an integral member of the staff at the hallowed Berlin record store, Hard Wax. In addition to having held down residencies at RSO Berlin and Tresor, she has played venues such as Berghain, De School, Open Ground, and Blitz Club; and graced festivals including ADE Het Weekend and Nachtiville.

Jesse shared some words about the mix:
“I wanted this mix to sound playful, energetic and organic with a few surprises here and then. It was also important to me to include many artists who inspired me in the last months - be it musically or / and also on a personal level, so this mix is also like a summary of my Summer and the past months.”

Dive in now to a masterclass of contemporary club music.

"Während der musikalische Fokus von OYE in den frühen Zweitausendern besonders auf Latin und Brazilian Music lag, hat sich der Laden mit seinen beiden Filialen in Kreuzberg und im Prenzlauer Berg in der folgenden Zeit zu einer der wichtigsten Anlaufstellen für House, Techno, Disco und Artverwandtes entwickelt. Und OYE verkauft längst nicht nur Platten. Diverse eigene Labels wurden aus dem Umfeld der Läden heraus gegründet. Außerdem entstand eine hauseigene Partyreihe, die sich auf Vinyl-Sets spezialisiert hat."
