Alexander Kulikov - October Dreams Pt 1 [SOMA688D]

1. Sunset
2. Night and Wind 
3. Stream
4. Stream (Luke Hess Remix)

Soma welcomes LA based Alexander Kulikov for a special release on the label, bringing the deep and dubbed out ‘October Dreams Pt.1’. The self professed ‘Dub Techno enthusiast’ has been involved in various musical activities in his time but has begun to focus more on the roots of his chosen sound throughout the last few years - bringing the traditional sound of Detroit & Berlin into his productions. This release (part 1 of 2) sees him delving into deep sonic experiments with ethereal soundscapes and atmospheres set to a backdrop of psycho-acoustic noise and static with the faintest of percussive elements helping to keep the rhythm. The release also features a special remix from one of Detroit’s best kept secrets as DeepLabs boss, Luke Hess turns in a perfectly crafted, Detroit inspired version of Stream.

As a rising artist from Munich with Polish-German roots, Alicea regularly performs at the iconic Club Rote Sonne in Munich and is a resident of the queer event series Garry Klein.

Bouncy rhythms, bangers and energetic sounds full of surprises. Alicea knows how to heat up the crowd and maintain the drive with her groovy and sexy vibes. Her versatile repertoire spans various interpretations of house-influenced Techno, as well as dark, hypnotic soundscapes. She founded her own label TELUR Records (https://soundcloud.com/telur-rec) and is actively involved in club culture and community work as a booker and event organizer.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘼: A fireworks of emotions! I was very excited before my first public DJ gig. It was at an event of my feminist collective called WUT. I had an opening slot, couldn't sleep well for days beforehand and initially didn't want to tell my friends about it because I was so nervous. Nevertheless, so many good friends showed up to support me. It was an incredible feeling to hear my favorite music on loud speakers - pure goosebumps! I could finally dance and party to my favorite tracks from now on.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How did you get into DJing and when did you start to produce?
𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘼: I love music and dancing! I was always the one at private parties who liked to play her favorite music on speakers or was listening to music nonstop in my daily life. Besides, club culture has been always a part of me and I love the community. That's my home! There are moments sometimes when I wish I had started DJing sooner. Without FLINTA* role models around me for so long, I had internalized the belief that DJing was somehow reserved for (straight) cis-men. I started producing in 2024 when I began experimenting with Ableton and released my first Dub Techno track 'Flowing Dream'. This year I started working on a new EP collaboration with my partner Schott.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Why founding an own label?
𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘼: To be honest, there are many producers and labels nowadays, and it's damn hard to bring your tracks to labels. That's why I decided together with my partner Schott that we'd create our own local label from Munich and push our sound, but also that of local artists. But you also have to be ready to invest money first. We're currently working on a VA release on vinyl that's supposed to come out at the end of the year.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Could you recommend some hidden spots in Munich?
𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘼: Munich has far more to offer than its reputation suggests! The club culture is like a family. Besides my favorite club Rote Sonne, I also recommend stopping by the queer restaurant & beer garden “Fesch” and then going dancing on Wednesdays at the queer event series Garry Klein. HOLEY is also a great event series with dresscode and darkroom. Highly recommendable! Munich has a huge queer scene, particularly in the Glockenbachviertel. So come visit!

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Any big plans for the near future?
𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘾𝙀𝘼: Currently, I'm on sick leave after a serious health diagnosis in July and am pausing my musical activities. I will hopefully be back again soon. Now I see my life from a completely different perspective. Gratitude is the key word. I have to reprioritize and figure out what's really important to me. I will continue working on the EP and push forward my event series, LUCID GLOW at Rote Sonne and HYPERDOSE for FLINTA* DJs  in Stuttgart. I want to continue supporting the queer community!

Listen, enjoy and never forget:

VESELKA PODCAST 094 | ALICEA

The set came about quite spontaneously. A B2B during primetime at Silodom. We had both prepared our tracks well, which allowed us to flow through the set without saying much. The drops and breaks were spot on, the timing was right.

Musically, it was a mix of proper techno and driving rhythms, with lots of energy but still feeling. We played on 4 CDJs and an Allen & Heath mixer. Simple, direct, no frills. Because the vibe felt so right, we recorded the set again in the studio afterwards. We are two good friends with a similar feel for music, which we think was also evident in the set.

Dancefloor Diaries 13 - Jonas Xenon B2B Idu Berg (Studio Session) [DD013]

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.

MAURER — HATE Podcast 452

FORMS is the new live techno project from Brian Sanhaji and Monoloc,
two artists who have shaped Frankfurt’s uncompromising sound for more than two decades.

FORMS – EMPHAZE
A sonic triptych built for dark rooms and focused minds.
With EMPHAZE, FORMS present a tightly sculpted three-track EP that explores the raw architecture of modern techno,uncompromising, immersive, and physically direct.
Each track reveals a different facet of the duo's sound while staying true to their shared aesthetic: minimal structure, detailed execution, and relentless drive.
Emphaze unfolds gradually through pulsing sub bass, washed-out textures, and subtle modulations. The result is a hypnotic, tension-filled piece,perfectly suited for the late hours. Tibanna follows with a precision-built, mechanical groove, dry, focused, and relentlessly pushing forward.
Surrender in Depth closes the EP in a meditative low-end framework, where tonal shifts and rhythmic layering sustain a deep, restrained momentum.
EMPHAZE captures the essence of FORMS: reduced, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in the moment. Techno without ornaments - just structure, pressure, and pulse.

Live at the WORK Warehouse: ANNĒ (Sep. 1st, 2025)

Embarking on a whirlwind romance with dance music in his mid-late teens, DJ Sensible’s foray into the world of clubland saw him absorbing the sound of the late ‘90s. He then began to understand a passion for turntablism and controllerism, their place within the music-making process, and the limitless technical possibilities within electronic music. 

Throughout the years, Sensible has continued to refine and develop his arsenal of skills and techniques, aided by implementing various controllers - further diversifying his live performance  routines and productions. As a result, he has begun to make a name for himself in the globa  Techno community, with esteemed labels and events now vying for his work.  

Releases on Saytek’s Cubism Records, Pig&Dan’s ELEVATE and The Acid Mind print have propelled DJ Sensible into the electronic fore, with the former 2 securing A #1 spot on Beatport’s Raw Techno chart  and the latter also cracking the top 10 while also hitting tracksource No.1.techno track.

Outside of the studio, Sensible has been present throughout clubland and rave culture since the turn of the millennium. He has played everywhere from illegal warehouse raves to club shows and festivals across Europe, including Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Thailand, Spain and the UK. 

Having supported some of the biggest names in the industry, DJ Sensible continues to set a precedent with pioneering live and hybrid Techno performances. With an ever-increasing pipeline of shows and releases on the horizon, 2022 and beyond looks to be full of opportunities for Sensible to share his unique artistic offering with the world.

ZUZANAH invites: DJ SENSIBLE

Tradição em movimento. Cultura. Exploração ousada e respeitosa. Neosamba. Conectado às raízes. Um playground para o criador. Deixe a criança interior brincar. Inspiração, sem medo. Mesmo que você me deixe por outra pessoa, eu cresço, prospero e crio. Música e a sétima arte. E juntos, dançamos.

Tantša Records apresenta Neosamba [TNTS011], de LuizFribs. Unindo o violino a live performances de techno pulsante, LuizFribs tem se destacado como um dos nomes promissores da nova geração de produtores do underground brasileiro, acumulando suporte de uma lista crescente de artistas como Amelie Lens, Kobosil, Parfait, Perc, Regal e SPFDJ. Seu som característico vai do techno groovado e percussivo ao hard techno voltado para as raves, fortemente influenciado pela música dos anos 90 e 2000, mas também inspirado nos ritmos tradicionais brasileiros e no funky house. Alguns dos seus trabalhos mais notáveis já foram lançados por selos como Agora, Etruria Beat, No Mercy e Gomboc.

O EP marca o primeiro lançamento completo de LuizFribs fora do Hard Techno. Em Neosamba, ele apresenta um techno acelerado repleto de grooves do samba brasileiro. Em Playground, o artista surpreende ao trazer a cultura do funk das favelas para o techno groovado. Em You Left Me For Someone Else, Luiz explora uma atmosfera hipnótica conduzida por grooves percussivos. Já em Septima, Fribs entrega um techno raw, explorando a arte dos polirritmos musicais.

Following on from last year’s success of Beatport chart toppers and sets at
packed shows and festivals, PAX return to the revered Gorgon City REALM imprint for 2020 with new single Remedy: https://realm.ffm.to/remedy

PAX - Remedy

A firm Drumcode favourite, Mark Reeve is back with his latest techno opus.

Weaving his vitalising, biting techno through the seminal imprint since 2012, Reeve has since become a permanent fixture within Adam Beyer’s camp. He saw demand for his knockout ‘Run Back’ EP being matched and surpassed by his ‘Far Away’ EP, which bagged the number one spot on Beatport’s techno chart. Staunch DC fans will also be familiar with Reeve’s output on the label’s A-Sides compilation series, and clubbers hot on the tails of Drumcode events will have caught him centre stage across a string of showcases, including the inaugural Drumcode Festival.

Reeve’s music invariably endorses an arresting sonic aesthetic, with intense melodies often driving in those eye-closing moments. The title track ‘Distance’ is an atmospheric opening gambit set to sonically massage the senses with uplifting pads and a radiant melody. ‘Serum’, a track recently road-tested by Beyer at a special event in collaboration with Cercle, soars and captivates as it progresses with a low-end rumble and intricate keys. ‘Fix Me’ is a vigorous techno workout that’s intent on energising a clubroom rammed with sweat-soaked dancers. Closing off the EP, ‘Filmwave’ rides a killer groove into a pit of punchy, powerful kicks.
