Function - HATE Podcast 326

Portuguese techno buff Cisco Ferreira got his start way back in the late 80s as Space Opera alongside cult electronic figure C.J. Bolland, The brief collaboration set the stage for his own releases, and later those signed off as The Advent, a name he coined for the work he produced shoulder to shoulder with Colin McBean (aka Mr. G). The alliance ended a few years later, but Cisco forged ahead, developing a tenacious brand of techno that has stood the test of time, with more recent LPs distributed by the likes of Tresor, Mord and Klockworks (and a stream of releases published under self-run imprint Kombination Research). The Detroit-aficionado offers tireless, clobbering compositions, scratchy textures, and punishing mechanical rhythms to which Bassiani Podcast 172 is no stranger. This is a veteran studio mix packed with peak-hour frequencies, driving loops and a whole lot of renegade energy, enough to last for many more decades to come.

Bassiani invites The Advent / Podcast #172

[ ANCIENT METHODS ]

Ancient Methods, founder of the Persephonic Sirens Label, has cemented his status as a steadfast presence within the electronic music scene for nearly two decades. His venture embodies an unyielding and resolute passion for otherworldly, multifaceted music, underpinned by his distinctive "pitch black techno war funk." Firmly grounded in the conviction that innovation arises from dismantling barriers, his DJ sets, live performances, and productions are a perpetual force of nonconformist renewal, devoid of ingratiation to fleeting vogues. His performances and collaborations with Regis, Orphx, and Cindytalk have taken him to stages worldwide, from ADE to Tresor.

Ancient Methods | Artaphine Series 109

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to give back to the community that shaped me. What it means to create something for the culture, not just within it. I wanted to contribute in a different way this time. Something that lives beyond the party. Something that holds space for the artists who’ve impacted me on a deeper level. That’s how the FIXVTIØN mix series came to life. And I couldn’t think of a more meaningful way to start than with Headless Horseman.

His music has been a constant force in my life for years. Guiding me, influencing my sound, expanding my understanding of what Techno can feel like. From the first time I experienced his work, it left an imprint on me that’s never faded. To have him as the debut of this project is surreal. It’s full circle. It’s an honor.

With that being said, I’m excited to unveil the first installment of FIXVTIØN’s mix series. A new platform dedicated to pushing forward-thinking Techno and resisting the over-saturation of formulaic sounds.

Now live. Listen loud.

Track list:

1) Foreshadow / Carrier
2) Therma / Takaaki Itoh
3) Shadows Of Tomorrow / Lewis Fautzi

7) Blocked / Lakej
8) Dirty Water / Peppe Amore
9) Angstgegner / Bas Mooy
10) Reflection Of You / Mesh Convergence
11) Process / Arnaud Le Texier

FIXVTIØN Mix Series 001 — Headless Horseman

Next on our mix series is @ancient-methods, a cornerstone of the industrial techno movement, whose sound is a testament to the power of texture and unyielding percussive density.

This latest transmission, captured at the Khidi night at Human, is no exception. It's a relentless excavation of the genre's darkest corners—a journey defined by his signature pummeling kicks, clangorous metallic echoes, and the cold, physical energy that has come to define his sound.

Human Mix 059 - Ancient Methods

Recording of Philippa Pacho's set at the UFO I stage during Dekmantel Festival 2025.

Philippa Pacho at UFO I - Dekmantel Festival 2025

Eutierria an omen to nature, Gister's biggest source of inspiration.

It means; "a good and positive feeling of oneness with the earth and its life forces. ‘eu’ comes from the Greek word for “good” and tierra means Earth.

Eutierria refers to secular experiences but echoes the “oceanic” feeling identified in various world religious traditions. When it occurs, your perception of the boundaries between yourself and all else, the thoughts and feelings setting you off from the rest of the cosmos, seem to evaporate. The distinction between you and nature breaks down. You become one with the universe. A reassuring sense of harmony and connection with the world infuses your consciousness. It’s an experience that matches up with the knowledge of your own dependence on and connection to the world.

Recording of Phase Fatale's live set at Dekmantel Festival 2018. 

Phase Fatale: "Hot on the heels of my first proper Ostgut Ton EP, this live performance took place during a heatwave night where it was even sweatier inside the metal silo of UFO II. We needed ice buckets with fans to keep the gear cool enough on slabs of concrete. But it all went off without a hitch and was a proper purging for me always to perform live.“
