Berlin-based JakoJako has meticulously compiled this new compilation for Air Texture with the aim of spotlighting the deep bonds among hardware-focused producers. Featuring standout tracks from top dogs like Rødhåd, Acid Pauli and The Field, the collection reflects a shared musical language built through machines and their ability to convey the emotions of their human users, often with a rough, dusty edge that makes them all the more realistic. Drawing on the metaphor of a hardwired synthesiser that is pre-connected and instantly functional, the release celebrates unspoken creative kinship between the two with everything from deep, heads down late night dancers from Regent to more lithe and elastic rhythms from Mareena alongside JakoJako herself.

Is there anything more intimate than fear? When terror paralyses your body, there is no space left between your soul and death. To plunge into the unknown is perhaps the experience that demands the most from us. It is an act of courage and surrender, unlike any other experience along the path of the spirit. If horror looks you in the eyes, it no longer matters who you are, what you have, or what you've done. It's just you facing the dark lake of the unconscious. But there is always a light. Look back at it. Step toward death and understand that it's all a farce—a lie you tell your soul. Spit in the face of the beast and get ready to face the next one. Today, you will be better than yesterday.

The Düsseldorf-based producer and co-curator 
of Cube x aims to bridge the past and present by guiding the listeners through a fusion of timeless 90s techno and contemporary cuts. His sonic selections are characterized by racing 909-fuelled textural rhythms and rolling basslines interspersed with hypnotic layers of percussion. Waldymoto’s output seamlessly embodies organic and artificial sound design, while uniting ancient and modern patterns of structure. With a lethal execution, he sculpts his sound to deliver a pure dancefloor experience that is uniquely his own.

Pascal Hetzel has been a steady presence in Berlin's large electronic music community. He emerged with a strong focus on long, free-flowing hardware jam sessions that traverse 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,
which came out 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. Early next year, he will also release an EP on Marco Bailey's label Materia, further expanding his footprint in the global techno landscape. Rest assured, there is more to come — both with CYRK
and as a solo artist.
