Laura BCR at Mostra Festival 16-04-2022
Vinyl set.

Despite a few technical problems (stage was quite moving and records jumped few times) -  I'm happy to share a very good memory from a couple of months ago at Mostra in Barcelona for the first edition of the festival.  An honest mix that is the good reflexion of what playing vinyl can also bring sometimes. Vand played an excellent live set before me and it was pure joy to be behind the decks on that day.  Souvenir is strong. Thanks to everyone for listening.

Function Boiler Room Berlin Live Set

Panaroma Bar resident and longtime IsBurning regular https://soundcloud.com/massimilianopagliara has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion.

For his entry to our podcast series he serves up a tantalizing techno set and has this to say about his favorite track in it:
“Megatrance by Voiski is one of my all time favorite tracks and I drop this almost every time when I play a techno set. Like the title suggests, this track has a huge trance - psychedelic vibe to it, that can take you to another dimension.”

Live at ToyToy Club, 3.11.23

Massimiliano Pagliara... IsBurning #137

Performed at the Communion Stage

Equipment used:
6U Modular system
Elektron Digitakt II

Lonefront – Live @ The Great Beyond '24 [07-26-2024]

The closing set at the Varden stage is always a special time; Filled with excitement, tears, hugs, and exhaustion, it marks the end of four incredible days at Monument Festival.

This year Japanese maestro Wata Igarashi stepped up and delivered a legendary closing set. A psychedelic vortex of sound thundered across the forest as the dance floor was illuminated in radiant colors and fog, with smiling faces and dancing bodies all around. 

So find your best headphones or sit down in front of your speakers, turn it up, and time travel back to the Forgotten Valley. Guided by our friend, Wata Igarashi. Enjoy.

Monument Festival 2024 : Wata Igarashi

It’s a tale often told: Sweden’s restrictive politics vis-à-vis raves have inadvertently created a fertile world on the fringes where many of the country’s talents have pushed their craft in an act of punkish rebellion. Having spent her teenage years collecting music (a habit inherited from a dad whose love of jazz, blues and folk left a lasting mark), Philippa Pacho discovered this hidden world of illegal gatherings, before trying her hand at spinning records and landing a residency at Stockholm’s storied Under Bron back in 2012. Berlin was soon in her sights, and it’s there she found a more recent base, her career heated up, and her (and Blue Hour’s) positivesource project came to light. From Bassiani to De School to Berghain, Philippa’s still going strong a decade in; and she does more than mix tracks, she crafts stories that drive a vision of music that gets both crowds and feelings off the ground. With her ballooning raft of rave-ready bookings past and present her name is a synonym for tripped-out full-tilt techno, if you’re already a fan you know the score. Zenaari Mix 014 presents another facet of her world, it’s a dreamlike 87 minute studio mix, a trip through ambient cityscapes and appraisal of a slower, stranger side of sound, kaleidoscopic bleeps from one of techno’s leading lights.

Ssg special - john osborn @ panorama bar.

Efdemin has all but perfected his deep, expertly reduced take on house and techno. The German artist has mastered his form over the course of numerous 12”s on various labels, including three albums on Dial Records. They are intricate, mind bending affairs that take you in on yourself and constantly explore new ground. His hybrid mix CD on his own Naïf imprint and Curle last year was another career high point, and recently he has turned himself towards experimental and microtonal composition with yet more fascinating results. February 2019 will see Ostgut Ton release New Atlantis, his latest album and one inspired by Francis Bacon’s unfinished 17th century novel of the same name. Promising to fuse his left-of-centre take on dance music with a new found passion for experimental sound art, it’s the latest chapter in a fascinating artistic story. 

His podcast for us is a decidedly club-focussed mix, featuring the sort of warped synths and underlapping grooves you would expect of the man. There are multi-layered tracks of percussion, sound design and stringy rhythms to start, then things slip into long, draw out passages of tunnel vision techno before the drums begin to hit harder to carry you home. At times playful, at others deadly serious, it sums up the career of Efdemin perfectly.
