Pascal Hetzel - Confused [nonpop records]

It's no secret anymore that Vienna's musical underground is bursting with talent and skilled artists and that many of the city dance music scene's interesting figures regularly play at Blitz. Katia Curie is one of them. Blitzcast 018 is a great place to start when getting into the Kyiv born selector, who's also one of the driving forces behind Vienna's > Sonic Resistance <. 

What can you expect? Let's hear what Katia has to say...

> When selecting the tracks, it was particularly important to me to get the listener into a certain rhythmic hypnosis that is maintained throughout the mix as it changes from one mood to another. I also wanted to show a different, dynamic, groovy side of my selection, which makes this mix different from my others. It's a vinyl-only mix consisting mainly of progressive house and techno records from the late 90s and early 2000s. At the same time, one of the recorded tracks was recently released on the Kyiv label Tancido, after the full scale war had started. I am totally in love with this one and it has a particularly important aspect for me, considering my Ukrainian origin. <

Closing Set at Globus (Same B*tches @ Tresor CSD 2025)

From concept to format Analog Concept is delighted to bring you the sharp, stimulating electro and techno sounds of the talented yet mysterious Ffriend. 
A lysergic cloaked story is told in the Mondayz EP;  your audio travel visa will be initiated on the A side of the ride through lush permeating pads, epileptic arpeggios, and the 808 jammed program of Issa, while the title track Mondayz and its dub dipped stabs of pleasure with conga percussion is the type of electro that moves the mind and physical in addictive mysterious ways. 

Side B takes a detour to the peaks of Deep courtesy of the driving deep techno house style, charming chirps, and oceanic vibes of Dweet. In addition we have included a stripped back yet magnetically atmospheric and percussive perked remix delicacy from Command D. (Animalia).

“Mondayz” EP suited for home and the DJs, right on time for the future summer sun days.

DIFF006 • Skudge - Meadow EP

Exclusive mix by @hors-sol 
A pillar of the French electronic landscape, with residencies at Macadam and Trabendo, the HORS-SOL collective has established itself as a reference point. Its signature sound world oscillates between the organic resonances of progressive house and early tech-house, the enchantments of trance with psychedelic accents and the hypnotic power of deep/immersive techno.

Stein Ego – a Vilnius-based artist whose music walks the line between a cold tone and a boiling energy. He revealed that part of the academic in him, as well as his ever-present sound, grew up in Lizdas, a place he used to frequent quite actively some time ago.

At the same time, Stein Ego mentioned that he likes to classify music by color, and this mix, as he puts it, carries rather grey shades – a 4 a.m. kind of set. This Saturday, as we “sit the exam,” he’ll be playing a bit earlier – around 00:30 – so we believe it’s going to be a true kaleidoscope of musical colors. Applause – mandatory.

For over a decade, Pascal Hetzel has been a steady presence in Berlin's large electronic music community. He developed a knack for long free flowing hardware jam sessions, that traversed the whole spectrum of electronic dance music from dark, industrial-tinged techno to classic motor city electro and italo disco-appreciating euphoria. In addition to his work as one half of CYRK, Pascal Hetzel continues to make a name for himself as a solo artist. His sound is deeply influenced by Detroit techno’s rich legacy. His first release on Juan Atkins’ groundbreaking Metroplex label that got released in June 2025, marks another milestone in his career. It’s his first solo release since his EP on another Detroit-based label: Interdimensional Transmissions’ sub-label Eye Teeth and his solo-album on the Belgian label Arkham Audio. Rest assured, there is more to come, both with CYRK and as a solo artist.
