In 2003 a concept was born out of heavy influence from minimal techno producers of the time, archives of vinyl fresh for mix-mode sessions, Der Kontraktor started as a moniker for DJing and ran until 2007.  It was the beginning of a style embodied with flavor and a feel for the music that is everlasting.  Those that know the creation from this time and place, know the capabilities of the one who was experimenting with mixing fresh cuts of vinyl wax.  Now 20 years later, it is time to present the resurrection with new sounds and added experience!

FIXVTIØN Mix Series returns after a short hiatus to remind us of the things we’re grateful for: community, connection, and the artists who continue to push techno forward. For Episode 002, we’re proud to feature Los Angeles powerhouse Materielle.

Materielle is a LA-based techno artist weaving synth-driven basslines, hypnotic textures, and Detroit-inspired rhythms. With releases on Northern Parallels, Split Checks, and Hddn Symbls, her sound is both raw and refined, carrying the spirit of the underground while carving her own unmistakable lane.

Beyond the studio, she runs her own event series Materialism, and has played for pillars of the LA scene including 6AM, Dirty Epic, Re/Form, and Compound. Her three-deck blends and intentional curation make her a vital voice in American techno and a dedicated builder of community around it.

Dial into a set that captures the intensity of the underground while honoring the connections that keep our scene alive.

Stream. Share. Feel.
