B2. Korridor - Somnolence

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

Duplicity 140 | Developer

The Undermind Podcast is back with a brand new episode from our friend and LA Techno Legend, Developer.  As we roll out this season, we wanted to take a new approach and invited our guests to deliver a glimpse into their world - projects they're working on, stories from their life and their creative philosophy. Often we hear a DJ Mix, but not the processes behind how they come to life.

We hope you enjoy this episode and we are looking forward to sharing another season of underground curation.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @pooja_b_ikigai for our 121st episode of Amplify Series.

Pooja B delivers raw, textured, and boundary-pushing techno that channels an expansive range of her sonic identity. Her recent appearances include Tresor, RSO, Gegen, Genau Turin & KHIDI. She hosts an event series called Majja (it means fun in Marathi, her mother tongue) and fun is for everyone. The event attracts not only the club kids but also the mature raver & sober ones, queers & allies alike, who may want to engage in music, food and art. With Indian roots and based out of Berlin, she has also curated a diaspora-focused Tresor New Faces, to bring forth BIPOC perspectives in electronic music. She constantly aims to carve space with intention. A recent SLAM Radio feature adds to her growing momentum. She also co-hosts The Coping* Club, a radio show on mental health on refuge worldwide Radio. Like her, her music is often political—drawing a global community that supports her with heart and fervour.

This is snippet of high-pressure defiant techno set taken from a recent secret rave. Gritty and unrelenting, just like her. Enjoy!

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ AAKAARA

AAKAARA is a London based producer, and visual artist working in mediums of screen printing, audiovisuals, and graphics. 
His taste in music and production style has been described as “sounding like a defunct cargo train.” Weirdness & thoughtful toughness are core sonic principles for AAKAARA. All formats of his work (visual, sonic) are conceptually focused on black hole dynamics, asemic writing, detritus, & distortion.  
He has released music on Silva Electronics, Degenerate Matter (2019), an album entitled Obsidian Promises (2023), and a dark ambient audiovisual album called Metasilence (2019) on Ghunghru. His latest release, Petroglyph I is a new direction in which he creates intricate ceramic CD case artifacts as a physical counterpart to the hard hitting, distortion-coated techno. 
He also runs a party in London called Exquisite Corpse, which showcases local artists who each bring a radically different expression of techno and beyond, ranging from broken, hypnotic, leftfield, noise, groove, body music, and industrial. The intent of these parties are to contrast the monotony of sub-genre specific nights and re-embrace eclecticism within a single evening. These parties are also paired with a parallel screen printing practice that is integral to the overall building of the graphic-artifact world.

DEOFC 084 | APRIL KERRY

For the 48th episode of the BPitch Podcast, we are excited to welcome ALI3N!

ALI3N is emerging as one of the most emotionally driven voices in Europe’s techno underground. Based in Berlin and originally from Gütersloh, NRW, he fuses hypnotic grooves with industrial edges, tribal rhythms, and space-inspired textures, crafting sets that don’t just move bodies, but reach deep into the soul.

Music has always been more than sound for ALI3N. Shaped by a childhood of piano and saxophone lessons and diverse family influences, his journey began early, but it was the loss of his stepfather that turned music into a lifeline. Behind every set lies a deeper purpose: to create space for vulnerability, healing, and human connection. For him, the dancefloor is sacred, a place where emotion meets rhythm, and people remember they’re not alone.

Don’t let the shadows fool you. ALI3N isn’t hiding, he’s revealing. One track at a time.
