“For this one, I’m highlighting an artist that i respect for keeping things pure and uncompromising. Decka for me is a real one with a sharp ear for proper techno.
This studio session is mixed straight from wax and you can hear it in the flow and in the crackles between the grooves. The whole session is stripped-back and loopy, heavy on locked repetition but always alive and energetic. The kind of techno music that I love to hear from a techno dj. Simple, raw and straight to the core of this genre. 
Enough said. Now I am leaving you in the hands of someone who knows exactly what to do with this music”

DECKA | THE RENEGADE SESSIONS 043

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.

Nadia Struiwigh is the 456th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.

'Tresor has been a true anchor in my journey. After three years as a resident, the club has challenged me, shaped me, and given me the freedom to explore the full spectrum of my sound, even after many years in the scene. It’s a place where I’ve grown both as a musician and as a person. That’s why I dedicate this set to Tresor.

This recording channels the intensity of my recent releases (Blueprint – X1 SHIFT and The Third Room – Wind Whisper) and captures the side of me that lives and breathes techno. At the same time, it marks a moment before I turn a part of my focus back toward my electronica side, with my fifth album on the horizon, set to be released on my own imprint, Distorted Waves.'

PWCCA Pulser DJ set (12-09-2025)

Person X (Sandro Loladze) – a Georgian artist and member of the 11th collective, whose work is distinguished by deep, hypnotic, and dark atmospheres. His sets are built on the refined energy of minimalism and shadowy textures, where the interplay of tension and release creates a unique musical experience.

His musical approach is grounded in meticulous attention to detail and the careful shaping of sound. Each performance becomes an experimental space where layers gradually unfold, guiding the listener into new dimensions. Person X’s style sets him apart on the contemporary electronic music scene as an artist capable of creating entirely new atmospheres while simultaneously establishing his own distinct and independent voice.

When techno is on your DNA you never need additional translation, this is the case with Hugo Rolan, hailing from the north of Spain, more precisely Asturias, he has been exposed to techno and futuristic sounds since his teenage years, and now he's a well seasoned forty something adult.
He’s been primarily a dj for two decades, staying hidden in the local underground scene while working on a standard dayjob. In his spare time he’s been learning production skills, diving deep inside music creation software and hardware, training hard and silently until he felt the moment of going public.
The waiting has been worth it, and in 2022 his first solo work has been published in one of the most renowned techno labels around, Warm Up Recordings, curated by Oscar Mulero, a very interesting debut album full of techno.
The second reference of his discography is published on one of the most important labels in the world, Axis Records, owned by Jeff Mills. A work that brings us closer to his creativity and gives us an idea of where he is headed, their sound is routed.
The third reference arrives at the end of the same year on the Incense Records label, an exercise in techno in 4 tracks focused on the dance floor.
For this year 2023, he will publish his new works in important labels of the European scene, collaboration in several podcasts and he looks at the club circuit inside and outside his country, without a doubt a good moment to bring his work closer to the Techno-loving public.
A real example of a real techno lover living in the real world, loving music slowly and carefully until the right moment puts him on the desired spot.
