Drone & Modular Techno

Ciao tutti, 
For this episode of my NTS radio show, I am in Asia / Japan all month and invited the Tokyo based painter of sophisticated techno, Haruka. 
For this hour we go deep within and hop of the slow groovy train of time and space for a beautiful reflective journey with a pallet of feels and kinda right on point with the eclipse season & our cosmic skies as Pluto goes direct and marks the end of its stay in Capricorn, prompting reflections on transformations since 2008.  

Hope you enjoy ! ❣️

NTS RADIO GiGi FM Presents Haruka October 2024

We are releasing the recording of the closing set at the indoor stage on the second day of rural 2024 by Qmico, an organic deep techno DJ who has been active in the Tokyo scene for many years. Slowly and steadily building up her energy, she moved patiently through stages to a big release, and the crowd watched her set with ecstatic expressions. Packed with experimental sound effects, the tracks take the audience on an epic techno space trip through a diverse mix of styles.

都内のシーンで活躍を続けてきた有機的なスタイルのディープテクノDJ、Qmicoによる二日目のIndoorステージのクロージングセットを公開します。ゆっくりと着実にエネルギーを蓄えながら、段階的に大きな解放へと向かい、クラウドは恍惚な表情で彼女のセットを見届けました。実験的な音響効果が詰め込まれた楽曲たちが多様なミックスで繰り広げられる壮大なテクノ宇宙旅行へと案内します。

Ten years of On Board Music—it speaks for itself. We’ve been collaborating with them almost since the beginning, watching them grow steadily while staying true to their values—thoughtful curation, long-term relationships, and a real commitment to the artists they work with. Reaching a decade in this industry without compromising is something worth celebrating.

For their anniversary compilation, they brought together a group of artists who reflect that spirit. Among them is Jin Synth, whose track Self Navigation adds a spacious, introspective layer to the release. We first met Jin at Mostra Festival a few years ago and have been following her work since—whether through her releases, her live performances, or the way she approaches sound as something deeply hands-on. She also contributed a guest mix to our series, offering another glimpse into her precise, layered style.

In this conversation with Theresa Bäumel, Jin shares more about her background in sound art, her process of building custom instruments, and how she stays grounded in a constantly shifting scene.

Shoal @ GIMIC - 03 May 2025

Next up in our mix series is Shoal, a Dutch producer and DJ who recently relocated to Prague. Known for his hypnotic, emotionally layered sound, Shoal crafts deep, transportive journeys through trippy textures, modular synthesizers, and rolling rhythms. A core member of the ISOTOOP collective, he’s performed at leading underground spots like De School, Tresor, and Ratherlost. His releases on labels like Tikita, Harmony Recordings, Monument, our own Ute.Rec, and most recently Animalia, continue to expand and refine his unique sonic voice within the scene.

In this mix, Shoal delivers a 1.5-hour live set full of acid-dripping techno, spacey atmospheres, and heads-down minimalism. It’s a slow-burning, carefully building mix that captures the raw live sounds and subtle depth that define his sound. A live-set working just as much the mind as the body.

Ute Mix Series #105 | Shoal (live)

Konsudd is the super group made up of two of electronic music’s finest: Konduku and Aa Sudd. Combining forces like two celestial bodies spiraling into one another to form a galaxy, their individual sounds coalesce into a universe of half tempo electronics teleported directly from the future.

Captured live at the legendary Positive Education Festival, this mix is a testament to the alchemical power of collaboration. It unfolds as a deep trip through fractured rhythms and glistening, crystalline textures. Deconstructed kicks echo through shifting sonic architecture, interwoven with shimmering synth pads that hum with otherworldly energy. Here, rhythmic complexity and futuristic sound design converge to create something meticulously crafted, yet breathing with an organic, unpredictable life.

Dive in now to the future-forged sonics of Konsudd.

Recorded closing set at Volnost. 24 May 2025

Focused on dramatic narratives and deep immersions, Sonhan creates
highly psychedelic sound experiences. His attention to emotional detail and
rich textures allows him to shape the atmosphere of any dance floor.

Inspired by a fascination for storytelling through aesthetics and bold
approaches to contemporary dance music, Sonhan carefully curates his
music selection and transitions to deliver dynamic and immersive
experiences. By shifting between dimensions and emotions, he
demonstrates that mind-bending art can be a science in its own right.

This philosophy also drives his work as the co-organizer and curator of
the 'Metropolis' event series in Brussels, where each edition
emphasizes high-quality sound and immersive experiences.

Fresh off the release of his outstanding album ‘Berlin’ we welcome Felix K - a true purveyor of sophisticated, deep electronic music. His work explores the fringes of techno, jungle, dub, and ambient, building immersive sound worlds that defy easy categorization. Known for his meticulous approach to production and his ability to weave complex narratives through sound, Felix K has carved out a unique space for himself in the global underground scene.

For this marathon journey, Felix K delivers a masterclass in patience and precision, guiding listeners through a three-hour odyssey that is as introspective as it is rhythmically compelling. The mix is a testament to his expansive musical knowledge and his ability to connect seemingly disparate genres into a cohesive, flowing narrative.

In his own words: "The mix was recorded in my studio in Berlin. Beginning with slower Dub Techno, it slips into the early, minimalist 85/170 Drum-and-Bass era, showcasing plenty of those formative highlights before closing with authentic Amen Breaks combining with a sound design that actually anticipates the vibe of some of today’s darker techno productions."

World Autism Awareness Day is upon us, and we are thankful to have a talented group of artists come together for the sake of giving back to the special people in our lives. 100% of the proceeds from this project will go towards raising awareness for the community via Music for Autism. Thank you all for the support! 

"When you go to your stereo and turn on the tunes and all is working well with the speaker wire, then the sound is sweet, crisp and clear. You hear what the artist and producer intended for you to hear — and it’s a good and pleasant thing. 

However, if your speaker wire has a short in it, if it’s frazzled by a fray, then things might not go so well, and a clear connection could be lost. 

There are moments when that frayed wire may be in the perfectly placed position to still allow really solid sound to pass through. In that moment, the music is coming through loud and clear and you get to enjoy the groove. 

But then something shifts — even just a little, and suddenly that worn wire produces static (and maybe even sparks). The music’s still there, but with it is another competing noise — a sharp and crepitating noise — a noise that’s taken something pleasant and made it painful. 

All of a sudden something shifts again, and everything has gone from simple static to overwhelming and excruciating white noise. In the chaotic cacophony you find yourself reaching for the volume control in order to mute the mess because it hurts. 

Then things shift once more and the frayed wire is now in a position where nothing’s getting through. The connection has been lost and all is silent. The stereo itself is still making a melody, but that melody is trapped inside the machine and unknown to anyone on the outside."
