Paula Koski plays one hour of deep and hypnotic techno.

Rinse France Podcast

Paula Koski  - 30 Mars 2024

Sam Coates took to techno like a diligent pupil, falling in love with the genre through labels like CLR in the late '00s. It didn't take long for the student to surpass his proverbial teachers. Almost immediately, the Manchester native was putting out pitch-perfect, functional techno records with everything intricately balanced. The requisite move to Berlin only sealed his fate as a future techno luminary, and by now, based in Kyiv, he's one of techno's most reliable, yet exciting, workhorses. Setaoc Mass records (and those on his label, SK_eleven) are minimalist but colossal, deceptively simple but not easy to pull off. 

We've praised him in these pages for his "sense of economy—how to get the hardest impact out of just a few elements," and that's the idea behind his RA Podcast as well. Put together from records old and new, and intricately layered, Coates's mix is like a time-travelling wormhole connecting disparate eras from techno, and highlighting the genre's most timeless attributes: mechanistic rhythms, careful pacing, rudimentary melodies made out of the strangest sounds and, of course, the power of the bass drop. It's hard to imagine anything that sounds more capital-T techno than this mix, which is a high compliment. It's easy to hear why his records and DJ sets are only more in demand from techno heads across the geographical and generational spectrum.

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the Belgian dj & producer Border One  (Token Records). 

Hailing from Belgium, Border One has amassed an irrefutable reputation in his home country and beyond since the release of his first 12-inch record in 2015. 
Between a fascination for sound discovery through the use of his modular synthesizer and his loyalty to the classic club rhythms, Border One’s style serves as a swiss-army knife for promoters and DJ’s on an international level.
With a self description expressing a priority to make the crowd move, his music does not fall short of its intention. 
Forward thinking in its conception rendered highly functional in its implementation, Border One’s music finds middle ground in an increasingly polarized musical climate for the genre; whether it be through his selection as a DJ or his technicality as a producer. 
Considering this, his release catalogue seems only appropriate. 
He has released EP’s on Knowledge Imprint, Setaoc Masse’s SK-X, his own Border One Records, Freddy K’s KEY vinyl imprint, and the infamous Token Records to name a few.
Today we are thrilled to present this powerful journey through his sound! 🔥🔥🔥

GREEN WAVES I JAMAICA SUK I 088

@jamaicasuk - DJing quintessentially and producing for over a decade, Jamaica has found rising prominence for her unique brand of seamless mixing and driving, psychedelic-meets-gritty techno. Jamaica’s work has always been built on discipline, deep sonic exploration, and a passionate connection to the scene. Hailing from San Francisco and based in Berlin, she quickly became a fixture of the German capital’s scene as well as building a vast network of underground communities across Europe and internationally. She's centered her craft in the studio and behind the decks on the art of contrast - grimy industrial edge with meditative, consciousness-expanding dream worlds with no-holds-barred runaway energy. Jamaica’s voice always finds a timeless balance between the rawness of 90's techno traditions and boundary-pushing modern techniques.

In our 215th edition of the voxnox podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to STERAC B2B Bastienne. The set was originally recorded on 03.03.2024 at the Daycare event at Bret. 

STERAC, a musical persona of Steve, thrives on Planet Rachmad. Unlike his other aliases which explore dub, disco, or house music, STERAC is dedicated to the darker, deeper realms of techno.

Over the years, Bastienne has crafted her unique DJ sound through continual exploration and enjoyment of diverse sounds. As a versatile performer, she seizes every chance to lead club-goers on an engaging musical journey. Whether performing solo, delivering groovy, rhythmic techno sets, or teaming up with her friend VUUR for lively back-to-back house sets, Bastienne immerses herself fully.

Active since the turn of the millennium, Wisconsin-born / Berlin-based DJ and producer Dustin Zahn has been trading some of the most consistently powerful techno blends over the past twenty years.

Throughout an endless flow of grade-A heaters for some of the scene's most highly-regarded imprints, including Blueprint, Rekids and his own record label, Enemy, Zahn has been sculpting a body of work both ebulliently intense and future-facing, never quite resting on his laurels but throwing all of his nerve and energy into staying relevant in the age of disposability. Ageless, boundless.
