Knife presenta el podcast 180 por Ancient Methods, proyecto de Michael Wollenhaupt. 

Desde su aparición, el proyecto ha sido a menudo etiquetado como “pitch black techno war funk“  (citado después de una reseña inicial de Boomkat) y estrechamente asociado a lo que más tarde sería etiquetado como el movimiento "tecno industrial". Esto posiblemente se deba a la estética radical de la máquina que Ancient Methods ha convertido en un sonido característico inconfundible desde hace más de una década. Aunque el marco mecánico sea -ni más ni menos- un embajador físico de un contenido más profundo, hay una profunda emocionalidad humana encerrada en la coraza rítmica.

Knife presents podcast 180 by Ancient Methods the project of Michael Wollenhaupt.

Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as “pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the “industrial techno“ movement. This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. However the mechanical framework is - no more, no less - a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.

Mahk Rumbae - the British born, Vienna based producer behind Codex Empire - has been creating challenging experimental electronic music for more than 30 years working as one half of industrial/experimental band Konstruktivists as well as a number of varied solo and side-projects.

Codex Empire has performed over 100 live shows across Europe, Japan, Korea and Canada, as well as numerous appearances in Berlin at Berghain, Tresor, Arena Club, Suicide Circus and Boiler Room. 

After releasing several well received EPs on aufnahme + wiedergabe, HORO, Sacred Court and Khemia Records, as well as numerous remixes and appearances on V/A compilations, Codex Empire released his full-length debut album ‘Slow Erosion’ in February 2019 on aufnahme + wiedergabe. This was followed by ‘Protected by Rage’ and ‘Broken by Fear’ in 2020. The latest EP release “Overneed” was released late 2023 on Rant & Rave. 2024 will bring both a new LP and EP and several new remixes.

鬼面 : GWI MYEON PODCAST 027 CODEX EMPIRE

𝙑𝙀𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙆𝘼 𝙋𝙊𝘿𝘾𝘼𝙎𝙏 082 | 𝙊𝘾𝘿

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙊𝘾𝘿: My first DJ gig was an unforgettable experience. It was an after-party for a queer crew in Bologna, and I was incredibly nervous. My hands were shaking so much that I could barely turn the knobs on my controller (at that time I started playing with Traktor and a small controller). Despite my anxiety, I was surrounded by my closest friends, who provided unwavering support. There were around 20 people, but I had the feeling I was in front of many more. Looking back, I can't believe how much I've learned since then. It was a valuable learning experience, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to share my music for the first time.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How has your style developed over the years?
𝙊𝘾𝘿: My musical journey has always gravitated towards darker, more aggressive sounds. I've always been captivated by extended breaks with nostalgic pads that evoke a sense of wonder and transport the listener to other dimensions.
When I first delved into techno, harsher sounds weren't as prevalent in the scene. However, by attending every techno party in Bologna, I was fortunate to experience a diverse range of styles and genres, which significantly influenced my own musical development.
Relocating to Berlin further expanded my horizons, exposing me to countless parties and inspiring encounters with a vast array of musical perspectives. This period provided countless opportunities for growth and exploration.
More recently, I've experienced a profound personal transformation that has shifted my focus towards deeper, more introspective music. While the intensity may have lessened, the music now resonates with a deeper emotional honesty, reflecting my own internal journey.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What motivates you to keep going?
𝙊𝘾𝘿: Creative pursuits can be incredibly rewarding, but they also present unique challenges. The constant pressure of comparison, often amplified by social media, can be particularly daunting. It's easy to fall into the trap of presenting an idealized version of our lives, creating a disconnect between our inner reality and the curated image we project outward.
Personally, I've experienced these ups and downs firsthand. Periods of intense joy and productivity can abruptly shift into feelings of doubt and inadequacy. To navigate these challenges, I find solace in pursuing other passions. During chemotherapy, I discovered a newfound love for tattooing, finding a creative outlet that helped me cope. When inspiration falters, I turn to music, exercise, and immersing myself in new experiences. These diversions not only provide a much-needed mental break but also often spark fresh ideas and reignite my creative fire.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Does Berlin still inspire you after so many years? How?
𝙊𝘾𝘿: Berlin continues to be a source of inspiration, even after all these years. It's a true melting pot of cultures, and I've had the privilege of encountering incredible people from all walks of life. My journey here has been transformative, challenging my perspectives and forcing me to confront my deepest fears.
I'm not sure I could have accomplished this anywhere, but this city has served as the foundation upon which my life has been constructed. 
For this, I will forever be grateful. However, I also feel a growing desire for a new chapter, a fresh adventure. Unfortunately, the current political climate in Germany has become increasingly unsettling for non-German residents like myself.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What do you wish for this year?
𝙊𝘾𝘿:  For myself, I wish for good health and a world where humanity heals.

Listen, enjoy and never forget:

VESELKA PODCAST 082 | OCD

▷ THE COMPOSERS 019: Esteban Miranda 

In the depths of a neon-lit twilight, where time disbands into pulsating frequencies and reality fractures into echoes, a naivety treant shady roads and dissolves between the front-line sound and the endless dances.
Is not lost— is searching. Constantly.
Every rhythm, steps; every move, a repercussion.

We are enthralled to present Esteban Miranda on The Composers. From Colombia, Esteban has spent years perfecting a craft that defies the boundaries of the tangible world. Supported by major figures in the scene, his sonic identity thrives, designed for minds eager to explore what lies just beyond the surface.

Esteban designs the biographical 019 mix crafted with his productions, where each track stands as a piece of his development, a glimpse sculpting excitement akin to an artist chiseling stone, modern in technique, with a nod style to vibes from the past.
From the fierce ascend of 'Buitres' to the visceral force of 'Titanium', the soundscape roars like a discourse of consistency, endeavor, and passion in pursuit of sonic transcendence.

The mix unfolds in a carefully calculated progression of vitality and depth. Esteban’s approach to sound design thrives on contrast: the interplay between heavy low-end power and stripped-back layers of multiple atmospheres. The rhythmic structure leans on pulsating basslines and granular textures, creating melodic environments, a descent into uncharted techno, and an ascent into pure psychedelia.

Hypnotic rhythms, austere minimalism, and raw intensity intertwine to soundtrack our alternate reality. Outcomes of equalizer effects, enhance the hypnotic paradigm, allowing each transition to feel seamless and unpredictable, accompanied by the strong hit driving its danceable background that keeps the listener in permanent shifting.

Everywhere, amidst the downfalls of forgotten memories, the present pulse transcends the underground, the story told through sound is carving the path. A meticulous delicacy sound, illustrating quality, enhancing the power of the now, and commemorating the pleasure of the moment.

3, 2, 1…

Öspiel is the 440th guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

A deep dive into the mind of Öspiel: this recording captures a raw and uncompromising live session, sculpted including some of his yet unreleased material and sound design experiments. Driven by razor-sharp loops and a restrained cinematic tension, the set unfolds with a sense of eerie precision — mechanical yet emotional, forceful yet controlled. Ferocity, grain, and hypnosis converge into an intense narrative that pushes the dancefloor into a mental space where instinct meets abstraction.

It’s techno as architecture — constructed, deconstructed, and rebuilt in real time—a dense, unrelenting journey through Öspiel’s evolving sonic landscape.
