This is the recording of my DJ set at Berghain on sunday morning 6th of February 2011, between 8 and 12am. Deep respect to Stroboscopic Artefacts for having me as part of the line-up, the Berghain crew for being the perfect hosts and last but not least that massive pack of dancing nutters on the floor (especially the Belgian delegation present for the occasion). Thanks everyone, it was fun.

Hello!

Here is an excerpt from my opening set at Tresor on 09.03.24
I don't have many opportunities to open club nights and it's something I love as I can travel between different moods without rush & playing not too fast!

Hope you like it!

Alienata @ Live at Tresor (09.03.2024)

Musically yours,
Léo

"Compared to my last two mixes, which explored introspective travels with layered textures and evolving phases, this one goes straight for the dance floor. I wanted to channel something more extroverted and built for movement. It strips back to the essentials with a 4x4 pulse, raw body music, and a strong rhythmic drive that carries everything forward without holding back."

Olivia Mendez is a vinyl-only DJ, selector, and curator whose sets weave deep, minimalistic techno. Her sound is rooted in rhythm—shaped by her early years as a percussionist and dancer, and refined through a deep immersion in London’s underground scene between 2006 and 2011.

A passionate digger with a background in music journalism and event curation, Olivia approaches her sets as narrative journeys—sonorous, layered, and emotionally resonant. From Brooklyn to Kiev, she’s queered consciousness through sound, creating dancefloors that pulse with tension, release, and intent.

She is the founder of KONVENT, a FLINTA collective dedicated to reshaping feminist discourse through site-specific music and art interventions, and launched her own label, Dust in Grooves. Alongside Chami, she co-runs DIG Curated, a cross-disciplinary platform spotlighting underground sound, visual art, and community-driven projects.

Now based in Berlin, Olivia continues to explore the intersections of activism, art, and sound—smashing the patriarchy, one beat at a time.

Awakenings Podcast S351 - Olivia Mendez

@fadimohem is right at the heart of contemporary techno. He brings his own twist on the classic sound - deep, rhythmic and atmospheric. He's a Berghain resident whose first contact with the genre came at the hallowed club, and since then, he has blazed his own trail on the most influential labels in the scene, including his own Mohem imprint. This year, he plays twice at Dekmantel Festival, once as part of WSNWG Live and once on the Radar stage.

Ahead of that, he has put together an exclusive one-hour live set comprised only of unreleased music. It's a masterclass in control that embodies just what you get from Fadi in the club: deep techno planted firmly on the floor but always going somewhere. As dubbed out low ends, glitchy textures and more tripped out melodies come and go, the tension ramps up while both body and mind stay locked.

With Rødhåd behind the decks at Bassiani, the direction is clear: well curated techno in all its deepest shades. Over the course of his set, one of Berlin’s most distinctive artists creates a steady storyline. Hypnotizing tracks with cascading bass lines pick up pace step by step, mixed elegantly into escalation.

[The Podcast is an excerpt of first 3 hours from Rødhåd's all-night set at Bassiani]

Wata Igarashi at Rural Festival Japan 2019

Rural is always a special event for me. Playing in the Japanese mountains in front of my friends, it means a lot. Last year I was on the Sunday night, full of stars, in between Function and Alessandro Cortini. With a 3 hour slot, I had the chance to dive deep and do what I wanted. It was a really positive experience for me so I thought it would be nice to share the recording with you all. Thanks for listening and hope to see you on a dancefloor soon, Wata.

Here is some of the music in the set:

Ruralは、2013年玉川キャンプ村で500人限定だった頃から毎年参加させてもらっていて、大自然の中、多くの友人の前でプレイできる自分にとって本当にスペシャルな場所。昨年は、3日目夜、星空の下、FunctionとAlessandro Cortiniの間の３時間スロットで作りたかったストーリーを描けることができたので、是非シェアしたいと思いました。聴いてくれた皆様に感謝します。そしてまたぜひ近いうちにフロアで会いましょう。Wata
