MYRA b2b LAURA VAN HAL | ANTIDOTE, DE FIK GARDEN | 06.07.25

OPH is a French-born DJ and producer based in Berlin, recognized for his dedication to vinyl and his deep connection to the city’s techno culture. His journey began in Lyon, where he was active as a music journalist and ran a webzine focused on the local scene. In 2014 he moved to Berlin, a decisive step that allowed him to immerse himself in the city’s clubs and to start playing regularly.

Over the years, OPH has shaped his sound through record digging and a broad musical background, channeling these influences into sets that balance intensity and emotion. This approach has brought him to play acclaimed closing sets at Berghain and RSO.

Beyond his solo work, he performs alongside his close friend Chami in their Face 2 Face project. Together they have played at iconic venues such as Berghain, Bassiani and Womb in Japan.

In recent years, OPH has also turned to music production, adding a new layer to his artistic journey and opening the way for future projects that reflect his ever evolving vision.

GANNEIN Invited by Pygments | A 4-Hour Afterparty Opening  | Recorded Live at Glazart, Paris FR

An extended opening session, weaving exclusive unreleased productions with a raw, textured selection to construct the night's foundation.

This recording documents that process in real time: four hours of reading the room's energy and guiding its momentum from the first arrivals into the depth of the afterparty. The set unfolds across four decks, concluding its final thirty minutes on a condensed setup as the main room was reconfigured for the exterior stage. The recording is complete, capturing the full narrative save for the final ten minutes, which were ceded to facilitate this technical transition.

An authentic document of a night's evolution.

Thank you again for the invite,

Gannein

TRS045 - The Renegade Sessions Welcomes Connor Wall

The Australian artist is emerging from Naarm’s underground with a sound and style that demands your attention. 
Releases on Treatment, Float, Phorum and WSNWG show his ability to balance the past of the genre with the future.

“For this one, I’m bringing forward someone I believe is going to leave a mark on our beloved scene.
Connor Wall is an artist with a deep and minimalistic vibe that, as I’ve said in the past, is a style that gives me real pleasure to hear when it’s done right. His sound is dark but also very groovy and it carries the most important element to me - substance.
This session shows those strengths clearly. Stripped-down and focused to the bone without ever losing interest. The kind of sound that’s full of character to my ears.
I’m highlighting him because this is the kind of talent I want people to hear. Real techno music with real depth.”

SK_eleven celebrates a decade of sonic exploration with a 13-track compilation showcasing its signature tension, technical discipline, and stylistic spectrum. 

Reuniting a tight circle of artists whose contributions have helped shape the label, the release offers an unrelenting sequence of pressure, mental twists, and textural collisions; a multifaceted snapshot of techno’s enduring capacity to evolve, disturb, and seduce.


The compilation resists uniformity. Instead, it thrives on contrast: tension versus release, density against spaciousness, rhythm in all its permutations. From high-energy metallic openers and dub-inflected body rollers, to disorienting, delay-heavy experiments and stripped-back percussive tools, each contribution reveals a unique grip on groove and detail. Some tracks move like engineered machines: sharp, robotic, and syncopated to surgical precision. Others embrace sensuality and unpredictability, exploring spatial motion, layered harmonic friction, and states of controlled chaos.


Each piece acts as a structural component in a larger sonic architecture, where tension is built, collapsed, and rebuilt. Friction becomes a form of choreography. Across the record, a shifting palette of emotional mechanisms takes form; granular and magnetic, haunting and quietly forceful, restrained, then disruptive.


More than a retrospective,  SK_eleven’s first compilation becomes a collective gesture toward techno’s unresolved possibilities:  its ability to hold contradiction, remain in flux, and mutate without conclusion.

FrenzyPodcast #213 - Ketch

We welcome Colombian techno master Adriana Lopez to Warm Up with this brilliant EP, five tracks that expose her own approach to techno sound, apart from temporary tendencies, with a character that is scientific and abstract and therefore timeless by definition.

This EP is a well-crafted combination of roughness and distortion with introspection and calm. It escalates from the glitchy pulses of the title track of the EP to the beatless and self-defining Quietly, with three sound missiles in the middle.

Negative Publicity is the first of those, minimal in the number of components but maximal in the effect provided. She works with the structure through subtle, almost imperceptible changes, enough to make the six minutes feel like a breeze.

No Fear comes next, again using just the necessary pieces to form the ammunition required for the mission: the right dose of distortion, the relentless sequences, the rhythmic tension…

Going Further is the third danceable exercise: metallic and merciless, deeply rooted in the finest UK tradition, pure pressure and machine funk mashed together.

New York based dub king Brendon Moeller was so kind to make this amazing hypnotic podcast for our beloved BALANS series. Brendon has been making waves in the EDM scene for almost 20 years now and is well known for his Beat Pharmacy and Echologist monnikers. And with his imprint Steadfast he delivers the highest quality dancefloor music around nowadays. A new album is due in april on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe label, but first he will drop an Echologist remix on Wolfskuil Ltd by the end of march!

As always we had a small Q&A with the South African master:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

I have done a remix for Wolfskuil artist Roger Gerressen and for ESHU on their recently launched imprint with the same name.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

Eat well, exercise, sleep and only smoke good weed and stick with beer!

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

Once upon a Thursday afternoon, a middle-aged man decided to embark on a creative mission. That mission would be to lay down approximately 60 minutes of groovy psychedelic electronic music that would take the listeners on a journey that would enable them to transcend time and space.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

The mix is the first mix I completed incorporating a modified korg monotribe. It was done in my home studio using ableton and a UC-33e controller. Recorded in one take, no rehearsing.

05.Were do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

I have an album dropping on EDLX in April and will be touring Europe all of April and May. The first single from the album features mixes by Tommy Four Seven and Jonas Kopp.

Thank you Brendon! Enjoy the podcast everyone!

BALANS012 - Brendon Moeller

We have a very special guest for this episode. Man of the moment and one of the artists that sets the course for techno as we speak, Shifted, is on duty for episode 19. Noone knows exactly who is behind this mysterious monnniker, all we know he is no newcomer to the electronic arena. His debutalbum 'Crossed Paths' on Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label, is a stunning collection of tracks: rich in textures and with an almost physical ambiance. He made this podcast especially for his appearance at the first edition of BALANS at Melkweg on friday the 6th of july. Enjoy the darkness and make sure you don't miss him in Amsterdam!

As always, we had our Q&A with the mystery man:

01.What is you relationship with Balans?

No relationship to mention really, i'm just a fan of both the label, which is putting out consistently great music and of Darko as a producer.

02.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you would like to share with us night folks?

Try to eat well, not drink to much and enjoy life. Stress is the cause of so much ill health, I think if you have a healthy mind then your body follows.

03.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

I just wanted to do something more aimed at the Dancefloor. the intro and the outro also have some processed field recordings that i added on top to make it a little more interesting.

04.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

Usually i'm playing vinyl, but i just recently moved to Berlin and as a result have no Technics here at the moment. I put this together in Ableton Live.

05.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

I have a collaboration with Edit Select that just came out on Semantica, I'm also working on a full EP for them. Aside from that theres remixes for Mike Parker, DJ Skirt & Planetary Assault Systems coming soon. And i'm working on a new Pacific Blue 12" and something for Avian.. No doubt there will be another EP for Mote Evolver this year as well.

Up next is one of our favorite Dutch technojocks: Sandrien! She has been making waves for years in Holland and way beyond with her nononsense take on quality house and techno.

I know Darko for a while now and just released my EP on Wolfskuil. I've played at his parties and he played at mine. Really like what he's doing as an artist and with his labels, so happy to have a release on his label. 

2.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you  
would like to share with us night folks?

I like to work out, I cycle a lot and go to the gym. Besides that I try to eat healthy. It helps me to stay focussed and feel good.

3.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

At the moment I'm reorganizing my record collection and I found some records I wanted to play again. So it turned out a deep techno mix with some of the older tracks and some new stuff.  

4.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

I used 2 Technics SL-1210MK2 and an Allen & Heath Mixer.

5.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?


The 30th of march I will be doing the next Imprint party at Trouw with Surgeon. Besides that I will be playing at nice parties in Holland and abroad. And at the moment I'm working on new tracks in my new studio.
