For my first visit in San Francisco, I had the immense pleasure of playing at Endzeit party in collaboration with Club Moniker & hyper k in a new warehouse space, with an amazing sound system and a great vibe making it a memorable night.
Hope you enjoy it !

At the peak of our longest event to date on Saturday, January 18th 2025, a NYC-based selector stepped into the booth at Masada to tell a story: a journey of tension and release, brimming with emotion and passion, a romance that lingered in our memories long after. We are beyond thrilled to mark the 100th instalment of CLOSERcast with none other than Holden Federico’s live recording of his 3-hour Masada set, to immerse ourselves into that beautiful, graceful and moving experience once more.

Philly-born, New York-based producer and DJ Holden Federico is dedicated to reimagining techno by pushing its core elements to bold new extremes. His productions carry a driving low-end energy, rich thematic layers, and dub-infused detailing, all underpinned by grit and soul. As a DJ, he weaves together diverse textures, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for techno’s roots, shaping a modern dancefloor experience that balances the physical with the emotional.

CLOSERcast #100 - HOLDEN FEDERICO

Live at The Church of Holy Trinity, Toronto - Sept 12 2025

Vault Sessions #266 - Measure Divide

Bringing this month of Clone-ruled brilliance to a closure, legendary German act The Exaltics treat us to a face-melting avalanche of abrasive kick-n-snare-heavy assault and future-proof sound engineering. Championing that no-surrender electro pulse and the same acid-soaked dystopian atmospheres that innervate their whole discography, the two-hour set here presented showcases the uncompromising nature of The Exaltics sound: both rugged to the core and infinitely complex in its musical phrasing. The result is a highly corrosive and equally dynamic mosaic of paced-up fragments, polychromatic ambiences and that signature in-your-face punch wrapped in a post-apocalyptic cinematic envelope. Steel yourself for liftoff.

Reclaim Your City 667 | The Exaltics

Long-awaited debut from Non Series affiliate Feral. Four deep, atmospheric cuts showcasing his distinctive signature sound.

Feral - Memory Folds Inward [non069]

Just a few years in, Hannover native Bennet’s been fast rising up the ranks of his peer group with a fresh take on driving rhythms. From Germany to Australia, and over his short career, this new-gen mixer has kept crowds on their toes with sets that blend infectious percussions and unfiltered emotion. Rooted in the pulse of the underground, his sound bridges the warmth of classic grooves with the precision and tension of modern beats. Riffing on endless combinations of vinyl treasures that radiate euphoria, he seams together tracks in blissful lockstep, astutely conjuring up dynamic sets that thoroughly capture the raw intensity of the dancefloor in all its primal energy. So too he delivers his straight-up cuts as part of his residency at Hamburg’s Queerpool. With bookings at parties like London’s Adonis, Berlin’s Multisex, and Haze and Horst in Brussels, Bennet’s painted a broad canvas and honed his dubbed-up beats to perfection; and through a focus on the clubfloor as collective space for unity, joy and liberation, his sound is leaving its mark. Bassiani Podcast 284 is a cutting-edge blend of effervescent jams and peak-time bangers, 100 minutes of soulful house from a breakout talent.
