_techno(part III)

Here is the interview!

ACTANT: Can you tell me about your artist name PWCCA?

PWCCA: PWCCA is the Welsh name for a demonic creature or spirit, playful but dangerous. It was my evolution as a musician, a shift from my old AKA to a more defined and technically advanced sound. I also chose it because I like its written aesthetic.

ACTANT: PWCCA was born in 2019, but you produced earlier under the name Dr Cyanide. Can you tell me about the transition between the two?

PWCCA: It was the evolution that arose with the improvement of my production techniques and my ideas, although in reality, and logically, they still have some connection, since they are two AKA to produce the same style of music.

ACTANT: Why do you make music?

PWCCA: For me, it's a way of expression, entertainment and escape, I always wanted to create tools to be able to use in own DJ sets, to be able to listen to my music in the hands of great DJs… although it is true that today in my performances as a DJ, my music is what I use the least, since when I perform in Live format obviously, everything that sounds is mine, but a great motivation long ago was this.

ACTANT: The sound of your productions is  haunting, rough, extremely repetitious. What is the attraction of these sounds for you?

PWCCA: In techno music, I've always loved repetition. In fact, I think it's part of its essence. I like creating dense, dark, and dirty sounds. They particularly immerse me in an intense mental journey. Today, I don't want to give rise to frivolous sounds in my work, at least that's what I try to convey or capture.

ACTANT: As a record label, Hardtools seems to embrace a dark aesthetic, pointing at an interest in death, spirits, ghosts, and so forth. Do these realms hold a power that can be utilised in music?

PWCCA: For me, darkness, death, the universe or all of this that no one knows about, inspires me when creating my sound, I don't like to link my sound or the sound of different artists of the label, with colors or images that are not serious or more "Fun" I think that over time, I have become more strict with those things hehe, it doesn't mean that techno is this, but in my case it is what inspires me the most.

ACTANT: Where do you see techno evolving in the future? Will real, dark techno continue to expand as society continues to erode?

PWCCA: Techno will likely continue to expand because it taps into a collective sense of restlessness. It's a search for refuge, often logically linked to having fun. Many young artists will take over and maintain the essence, while others who seemed authentic will sell out to the highest bidder without flinching. It has always happened and will always continue to happen; it's part of the game.

ACTANT: What makes Spain such a powerful force in techno?

PWCCA: I think there are and have been great techno artists in Spain, influenced by the right sources. Many artists who have forged a unique and remarkable sound, known worldwide, highly influential people like Oscar Mulero, supporting national material. I think the different artists who re-emerge have a great source of inspiration without having to look too far. But only in a few cases is one a prophet in his own land...

ACTANT: Finally, who are your favorite artists and labels right now?

PWCCA: I like listening to old artists like Wünsch, Mulero, Surgeon, Regis, Portion Reform (R&F), Mugon… but today we also have a wave of brutal producers like Kike Pravda, Lakej, Lewis Fautzi, Pyramidal Decode, KØLPØS, Ribé, Endplate, Oliver Rosemann, Stanislav Tolkachev, among many others. There are great Labels like Mord, Semántica, Pole Group or Warm Up, and others, offering great stuff, but I think that a large part of the scene is also supported by labels of less “prestigious” since there are many tracks edited in these, which are used by world-class DJs.

Function & Nastia Reigel — HATE Podcast 454

Taking over the decks this week with two hours of unflinching groove engineering, Tresor resident DJ and Unrush boss Mareena pulls out the big guns. All in layered atmospheric finesse, streamlined rhythmic architecture and nimble transitions, Mareena's mix vouches for her impeccable mixing skillset and pristine curation. Blending hi-impact, big room-focussed wares and clever detours into further experimental-leaning territories, the German artist captures a compelling snapshot of her current musical headspace, combining the finest of hi-tech dubs with vanguard electronics and stripped-down floor destroyers bound to wreak havoc all the way from the basement to the rooftop. Seismic drop, beware.

“For this week's session I’m highlighting Mode_1. 
An artist whose style and approach to Techno fits perfectly within the world of this series. His sound is clean, modern and well produced, built on pure rhythm and driving momentum. A producer with a deep understanding of how to control energy without overcomplicating things and I think the same stands for his Djiing style. 
This studio session carries exactly that mindset. Tight and minimal but full of movement, It’s refined but never polished to the point of losing its grit. Simply put it’s just the essential elements working perfectly together.
In a sea of noise and ego driven personas, he keeps his voice clear and his vision aimed to authenticity.”

Hugo Rolan - The Vault Radio Show - October 1, 2025

Patrick Siech begun spinning records in southern Sweden in the late ‘90s, making a name for himself as a club promoter and skilled DJ. Twenty-five years later, his close connection and avid respect for the dance floor and its multitude of inhabitants is still at the very core of Patrick’s enterprise both as a DJ and a producer. To connect with the crowd at an almost primal tribal level, to create a vibe of togetherness and exclusiveness, to hypnotize and unite all the individuals in the dance floor into one single collective mind. These are the goals of Patrick Siech. Witnesses from countless secluded afterhours parties can testify to his success, as can thousands of dancers in prestigious clubs and venues like Berghain, Tresor or Awakenings. Once the connection is made, the capacity or prestige of the venue is nothing – the vibe is everything.

Salomón es originario de Armenia y reside en Medellín. Es cofundador de Synapsis Collective y Sequence Lab. Desde joven exploró distintos géneros de la música electrónica, pero fue en 2017 cuando descubrió su verdadera conexión con el techno, cautivado por sus frecuencias y profundidad sonora.

Su pasión lo llevó a organizar eventos desde 2018, buscando fortalecer la escena, la cultura y la comunidad en torno a este género. Tras colaborar con varios colectivos, en 2023 dio vida a Synapsis, proyecto con el que ha contribuido activamente al crecimiento de la música electrónica en Colombia.

Como DJ, inició su trayectoria en 2019, puliendo una identidad basada en el hypnotic, deep y experimental techno, complementado con breaks y ambient. Con una cuidada selección musical y una gran intuición para leer al público, busca generar sensaciones de introspección, libertad y conexión entre cuerpo y mente.

Su propuesta explora las vertientes más crudas y viscerales del techno, construyendo sets dinámicos e inmersivos, donde las texturas experimentales se entrelazan con un groove firme que sostiene la experiencia sonora.
