PARADOX PODCAST #141 -- COMRADE WINSTON

✈ We are delighted to welcome, for the very first time, dutch dj & producer, DEEP DIMENSION .

Discovering music through his dad’s record collection as a child, Jeffrey Hek started producing under the moniker Deep Dimension in 2015. Hek describes a pivotal point when realizing he searched for something non-existing in the music he played, concluding it was time to fill the gap himself. Having already played Exhale at Awakenings and Nature One, it is obvious he did the right thing. Ravey acid-stabs, twisted vocals and raw old school-samples are all ingredients he uses to conjure up the invasive, robust Deep Dimension-sound. After debuting on Rekids in 2018, he has further released on labels like Etruria, Planet Rhythm and Suara. A handful of Deep Dimension EP’s are available via Hek’s own imprint, GEN X, which also expands into other industry talents he respects and admires.

We are sure you will enjoy this contribution and don’t forget to share it if you like it!

For the last episode in March, we are happy to host French Techno dj & producer ANGEL KAREL(THE FUTURE IS FEMALE / NO GENDER). 

Artist from the Techno Queer Punk scene, Angel Karel has built her reputation with high-technical dynamic sets with loud aggressive, saturated and emotional techno music.
 
Her dark industrial universe is regularly bringing dancers into a post-apocalyptic hypnotic distorted trance. That’s why Angel Karel is frequently booked for peak-time and closing sets.
 
In 2020, she released her first album « Pain For Pleasure » on Instruments Of Discipline and a collaborative EP « You Ain’t No Punk, You Punk » on RND Records with her partner in crime Istigkeit.
 
As well as playing and producing, she has also created her own collective with mindful art direction :
TFIF Events. A Techno Queer Punk collective which values tolerance and freedom of the underground universe.Together, they offer a strong anticonformist, porn and BDSM experience : [NO GENDER].
 
In 2021, she is launching a new punk concept [SCUM], queer feminist techno punk event, inspired by Valérie Solanas "S.C.U.M Manifesto". In a punk setting, these whip up the queer atmosphere where we sniff the scent of leather, chains and Dr.Martens.. where we dare new aesthetic and radical energies with crazy outfits and hairstyles. Union, symbiose and rebellion will be watchwords.
 
A taste of dark unlimited anarchistic fashion bodies to a mutual state of liberation.

PARADOX PODCAST #150 -- AMORPHIC aka VINCE WATSON

For the first episode in October, we are happy to host Bulgarian Techno dj & producer based in Copenhague GABRIELLA VERGILOV(SYMBOLISM / GAMA).

After her stellar second gig for BOILER ROOM in June in her motherland Bulgaria, Gabriella definitely deserved herself to be called “Bulgarian Star” as the BOILER ROOM team noted.

The Copenhagen-based producer, DJ, and singer with an idiosyncratic take on electronic music, defined by extraordinary energy on the stage, a signature finesse of productions and an obsessive passion for music and aesthetics is a force behind the decks with impeccable taste for driving, dynamic and deep techno to jacking house cuts and 90’s infused vocal messages, inspired by the old school league: Jeff Mills, DVS1, Ben Sims, DJ Bone, and Laurent Garnier.

Gabriella has also reserved herself a seat as one of the most exciting new faces production-wise, with confirmed upcoming releases on her mentor’s DVS1 Mistress label and UK Techno titan Ben Sims’s Symbolism.

PARADOX PODCAST #151 -- GABRIELLA VERGILOV

To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Berlin Techno scene : BORIS

Boris is kind of a charismatic, multifunctional weapon in the Berlin club life. His musical roots reach back to the mid 80s, when he lived in New York for four years where he absorbed the unique spirit of the seminal club Paradise Garage weekend after weekend. From the Club’s mentor Larry Levan Boris learned to believe in his musical intuition as well as a broad musical spectrum, which nowadays ranges from Disco, Hi-NRG, Post-Punk and (Kraut-) Rock to House and Techno, all of which Boris loves to throw into one set. “Music was most important for Levan. He was uncompromising and he knew how to convey it. That’s what I’m trying to achieve, too, when I’m djing.”

After the old OstGut/Panorama Bar closed in 2003, Boris played in almost every club in Berlin, but when the follow up club Berghain opened its doors in 2004, he quickly focused on playing out here again. From 2005 till 2010 he had another musical platform, as he was taking care of the label Careless Records as an A&R. As a DJ, he is not exactly keen on refining a certain genre, but rather to push music with a certain twist.

PARADOX PODCAST #152 -- BORIS

To celebrate the last episode of 2022, we are proud and delighted to host Greek Techno dj & producer ANNĒ (Symbolism/Hardgroove, Soma).

Born and raised in Thessaloniki she started her music career in 2012.
Annē is a promising upcoming talent fully dedicated to techno music and
focused on developing her career as a DJ & producer. Starting as a raver she
began to think of music like something extremely experiential. Now she worthily
represents the techno scene in her country.

Her sets are powerful & pumping with never ending dynamics, focused on the
perfect interaction with the crowd.

As for her music productions she is sharpening her sound having strong
references from Detroit, 90’s & 00’s sounds, while she is trying to print her
inner feelings into her tracks.

Her point of view is that a Dj is never greater than his audience. This is a unique
situation where the dancer becomes part of the whole setting of the music
being played. In this, her role is as much part of the audience as the dancers.
Basically, she always has one foot on the dance floor and one in the booth.

After collaborating for ten years with his friend Rémy Maurin under the project name Principles of Flight, then Pierre Delort & Rémy Maurin, the French producer Pierre Delort starts Moteka in 2013 in Marseille. Where Principles of Flight was a mix of psytrance, techno
rhythms and phantasmagoric cinematographic aesthetic, Moteka veers towards a more minimalistic and restrained approach, inspired by the classics of the English techno scene, such as Surgeon or Planetary Assault Systems.

In April 2024, Moteka will be back on Skryptöm with a new EP : Exploration 07 (Release date: 26 4 2024).

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Detroit Techno scene : DJ ROLANDO (R3 Roland Rocha Records / Ostgut Ton).

Rolando grew up in south west Detroit, a Hispanic district, he was heavily influenced by his cultural Latin rhythms and percussion. Inspired from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music and became well known and respected within the community. It was later when he heard Jeff Mills in 1985 as "The Wizard" that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined Underground Resistance in 1994. 

In 1999 'Knights of The Jaguar' although not Rolando's first release on UR turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming a classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Morillo, Oakenfold, and Gilles Peterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on fifteen years later inspiring audiences from all genres. 

As of November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind. 

2014 Rolando has launched his own label R3 (Roland Rocha Records) and will exclusively release his own music on his label.

PARADOX PODCAST #159 -- ROLANDO

PARADOX is a promotional plateform dedicated to Techno and its related art disciplines: VJing, video mapping, digital arts. Our webzine and events are intended as a bridge between the artists and the audience, as one part barely exist without the other. We work with international artists who share our sense of innovation and openness. 
Based in Marseille, Lille and Casablanca, PARADOX works as a share point between those three scenes and far beyond.
Our events are guided by 3 principles: exclusive line-ups, emerging local artists, and a good focus on visual arts.

PARADOX manifesto:

PARADOX is the artistic expression of how we perceive reality.
PARADOX always goes in the opposite direction.
PARADOX is the link between the transmitter and the receiver.
PARADOX feeds on conflicting energies.
PARADOX do not claim to hold the truth.

PARADOX est une plateforme de promotion artistique autour de la Techno et de ses disciplines connexes : VJing, mapping, art numérique. A travers notre portail internet et nos événements, nous souhaitons faire rencontrer artistes et public car l’un ne peut exister sans l’autre. Le tout dans un esprit de partage, d'ouverture et d’innovation. Nous travaillons avec des artistes des quatre coins du monde qui partagent le même leitmotiv.
Basé à Marseille, Lille et Casablanca, PARADOX est un réseau d’échanges entre les acteurs culturels de ces trois scènes et bien au-delà. 
Nos événements sont dictés par trois principes: faire découvrir des artistes inédits dans chaque région, mettre en avant les talents locaux, et créer le pont entre musique et arts visuels.

La charte de PARADOX :

PARADOX est la transposition artistique de notre perception de la réalité.
PARADOX va toujours dans la direction opposée.
PARADOX fait le lien entre émetteur et récepteur.
PARADOX se nourrit d’énergies contradictoires pour les faire converger.
PARADOX ne pense pas détenir la vérité.
