Thanks to RA (and especially Jordan) for making this happen! I really value having the opportunity to communicate my research back to the community.

la mission is proud of our comrade and friend. woohoo! get lubed by his ideas!

Wouldn't the chaotic nature of the Berlin scene be at least in part influenced by comparatively less government regulations though? I'm nowhere near an expert but German friends have told me that it's very easy to host a party there and not be bothered by the police (especially given the abundance of old disused buildings). I'd be hosting similar parties in Australia if I knew I could do it without being harrassed by cops.

Each year, we select artists to curate a second afterhours stage that leans away from dancefloor-oriented music and more into calming, atmospheric tones. @Mozghan and @darkentriesrecords did a remarkable job executing on the concept. The pair kicked off the stage on Saturday evening with a moody, cosmic journey of their own.

DPC @ Future Classic - Oct 1st 2022 (Bday Set)

Furtive sets the scene for the beloved techno operator Clarisa Kimskii on Black Friday in Philadelphia's off-grid DIY venue Bounce House. A co-organizer and resident of Bounce House, Furtive deftly navigates the two opening hours through ever-thickening fog, shaking off any hints of holiday torpor with bouncy fun and increasing techno psychedelia before Clarisa pushes everyone over the edge and into the wormhole.

BIO:
California-bred Robert Yang, also known as Bézier, is an American DJ and producer.

While best known for being one of the earliest members of the queer San Francisco musical collective Honey Soundsystem, Yang also produces under multiple aliases and heads three blooming labels, Bodyzone, m-i-v (short for mémoire involontaire), and Piece of Work. Bézier cut his teeth in the San Francisco scene for a decade, and now firmly planted in Berlin, where he continues to expand his sound and vision into a cohesive yet dynamic mosaic.

Bézier’s productions walk the line between soft and hard, emotive and gritty. From their early interest in braindance and IDM to their dance-forward proclivities, Bézier’s influences are wide-ranging, resulting in music that is as carefree as it is relentless. A master of synth work, Bézier employs a range of analog synthesizers to create highly textured tracks that recall a retro-futuristic soundscape. The atmosphere of these releases, often cinematic, bring to mind motorbikes zipping through alleyways or neon sunsets dripping with a kind of dystopian euphoria.

Bezier Guest Mix on Mechanical Breakdown on KEXP

We're back with another guest mix from Los Angeles artist Santiago Salazar. Listen in your car on that freeway drive and turn this up [swerveFM] based in San Diego, CA. This is EP.005

Low-key techno evangelist Santiago Salazar goes back as a DJ to the early '90s, when he spun in his native East Los Angeles, California. During the early 2000s, he relocated to Detroit, Michigan, where he fell in with the city's revered Underground Resistance collective. His time in the Motor City entailed activity with UR's Los Hermanos and Galaxy 2 Galaxy. In 2006, he returned to the West Coast and started the labels Major People and Ican and co-founded Historia y Violencia with Juan Mendez (Silent Servant). In 2015, after numerous 12" releases, Salazar finally issued a debut album, Chicanismo -- an unsurprisingly impressive and singular set of machine soul -- for the Pittsburgh-based Love What You Feel label.

Though very much part of the lo-fi techno movement of recent years, Florian Kupfer’s past includes six years as a soprano choir boy. As such it is no surprise there is a real sense of enchanting grace to his work, which most often comes on LIES, but also on Russian Torrent Versions and Wille Burns’ W.T. Records. Whether mechanical and menacing or sombre and heartbreaking, his grainy grooves always manage to cast a spell on the dance floor. 

The mix he serves up here makes scant use of drums, especially early on where lingering piano solos, looming ambience and foreboding acoustic guitars add up to something incredibly powerful despite being so sparse. Grinding drums and malfunctioning synths eventually take over and work to soundtrack a desolate industrial space where all traces of humanity have long gone. It’s bleak but beautiful, much like everything to which Kupfer puts his name.
