VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Originally from Kyiv in Ukraine, Cook started with producing minimal techno under his first alias - Freeker5. With his first release as Yan Cook in 2011, his sound immediately got deeper and more atmospheric - leaving behind the pacey, dry sound design that he produced as Freeker5. Since, Yan Cook has been putting music out very regularly - often 5 or 6 releases a year. 

With a sound meant for darkly lit clubs, Yan Cook’s work proves to be useful in a variety of atmospheres within that world - small or large capacity, no matter which city.

VOLTAGE Podcast 23 - Yan Cook LIVE

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @insolate_official for its forty third episode of Amplify Series.

A veritable powerhouse of the Croatian techno scene Insolate has been
establishing a global presence as a DJ and producer for over 20 years
delivering as both a label boss at Out Of Place and the creative force
behind their electrifying TRAUM events.

Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at
first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows, she is making
her first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and
worldwide clubs.

Her list of clubs and partys she played is impressive and includes
Berghain, Rex, Tresor, Under Club, Club d’Anvers, Unter, Exit Festival,
Tomorrowland, ADE and Dimensions Festival. Amongst many European
clubs she played numerous tours in Colombia and recently added USA,
China and Argentina to the list.

As a producer, she's had a string of releases on highly respected labels
including Ellen Alien’s Bpitch, Ben Sims’s Symbolism and Machine, DJ
Deep's Deeply Rooted, Marcelus’s Singular and Developer’s Modularz -
supported and played by some of techno's finest including Laurent
Garnier, DVS1, Dax J and Ilario Alicante. Also she released the stellar
Obscure Object Of Desire EP on JoeFarr's new User Experience imprint, EP
for a Suara and beautiful EP for Proletarijat, label run by Sev Dah. She
also contributed to Ben Sim’s compilation Tribology among giants as
Planetary Assault Systems, Oscar Mulero, Steffi etc. and also made super
interesting collaboration with french producer Arnaud le Texier and
released EP with him for Prodigal Son.

In 2019. she announced her debut album. The album Order is Chaos was
released as a double vinyl and contains 10 tracks with extremely interesting collaborations with MATRIXXMAN and singer SARA RENAR.
DJ Mag (UK) described album as “exciting journey thru trans-dimensional
vocals, acid drenched sequences and floor obligated bangers.”

In 2021. she started Online Production Masterclass right after attending
1U4 Leadership Academy when everything went online during pandemic
and no one could access classrooms - so we all switched to the virtual
ones.

Insolate is also a major contributor to the Croatian techno scene, so much
so that she was in Ibiza to receive the award for "Dance Nation of the
Year" at the DJ Awards on behalf of her nation. Her and long-time partner
in crime Volster also run the event series TRAUM in her native Osijek.
TRAUM events have cemented their place in the clubbing calendar with
quality artists like Paula Temple, Antigone, Cassegrain, Janice, Etapp Kyle
and Milton Bradley, just to name a few. The success of the TRAUM nights
caught the attention of Red Bull Music Academy and Dimensions – both of
which they have hosted official events for.

Insolate being an international messenger of techno was recognised by
Ambassador award that gave her a title "Croatia’s ambassador overseas"
for 2017 and also 2019. when she won 4 awards for the best DJ, single of
the year, remix of the year and again, ambassador overseas.

As a DJ, Insolate is well known for her no-compromise, pure-bred techno
sets. It's clear to anyone who's seen her perform that she's an artist with
a lot of experience but also plenty of inspiration and ambition, and a deep
knowledge of techno. She is simply a natural presence in a DJ booth. If
you've seen her play, you will know exactly what this means.

Amplify Series 043 - Insolate

Keith’s own style of techno always has a strong emphasis on melodies and groove - it is made for dancing no doubt. Often the melody creates a rather ominous feeling for the listener, but with a certain melancholy to it. This is weighed up expertly with Keith focusing on the tracks being driven forward by strong percussion elements. His compositions contain a fresh vibe that immerses his audience as much as it does with his fellow producer and DJ colleagues.

We are kicking of the year with a podcast by the Manchester based duo Blasha & Allatt. They are co-founders and residents at Manchester’s infamous Meat Free, one of Manchester’s leading techno nights. During 2019 they powered through the club and festival circuit with notable appearances at London’s Printworks, Dimensions Festival, and of course their spiritual home The White Hotel. Their latest release is a remix of Blue Hour’s track ‘Mirimar’ which came out as part of a remix package alongside fellow heavy hitters Hector Oaks, D.Dan & Vladimir Dubyshkin. Their vinyl sets bring together a mixture of current beats and old school rhythms that provide plenty of energy for the dancefloor!

Recording of the set I did last weekend at the legendary Tresor in Berlin. Had a great time hanging out with the BCR and Tresor crew, all the friends that came over, a lot of them from Rotterdam and of course the amazing crowd. Other artists that were playing on the same night were Joseph McGeechan, Monya, Ad.Lib and Chris Page. Great sets all night long! Thanks everybody for a night to remember! Feel free to download and share the set as much as you like. Thanks for the support!
