Coughing up gusts of possessed techno templates and surgically textured sound design, Jonas Kopp beckons us onto the path of punishing gridlines and demons-summoning manoeuvres with his new incursion into the RYC series. Bristling with magic-rich rhythmic incantations and captivating envelopes to wrap your ears around, this fiery transmission from the Argentinian-born artilleryman is all set at taking you up another level in his suspended realm, halfway mutant big-room barrage fire and open-pored experimental loiterings. Twist your mind to Kopp's cryptic riddle in sound, here comes techno at its most complex and intoxicating, no less.

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.

A true legend lands on the latest SPND20 Mixtape 📼: @luke-slater joins the fold with a rare live set recording, captured in the thick of touring his ‘Sky Scraping’ album on Token. Recorded live, this set channels the intensity and precision that only decades of experience can deliver. Pure hardware power, relentless tension, and deep, mind-bending grooves. This is techno at its most alive.🔊

Luke Slater’s legacy runs deep. Over the last three decades, the UK-born artist has shaped electronic music under many monikers - while running the influential Mote-Evolver label and constantly pushing the boundaries of sound design, structure, and club impact. From early Warp releases to Berghain classics, he’s never stopped innovating.

The release of Temporary Suspension on Ostgut Ton in 2009 marked the powerful return of Slater as Planetary Assault Systems - reigniting the fire of classic techno and setting the tone for a new era of live performance.
This recording is a snapshot of that exact energy: deep, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Expect pure techno power from one of its most vital architects. 🎛️

We’re honored to have him join the mixtape series. Play it loud. This one’s from the source.🖤

Right on cue to support the release of his newest EP on SK_eleven, here comes Manchester via Berlin's own Setaoc Mass with a banger of a mix to break June in proper, pedal to the metal. Exponent of a sound both intrinsically rugged yet layered to mind-altering effect, the British producer has been dishing out unstoppable slices of hi-velocity techno laced with a signature stripped-back, psychedelic edge. This new RYC podcast doesn’t veer off from such a direction and we’re graced with a two-hour mind trip boasting both bass-driven warehouse impact and an elegantly-woven tapestry of abrasive grooves, leaning by turn towards atmospheric elation and on other occasions pushing in the direction of utter fibrous, steel-coated industrial pound. The result is a wilder than wild ride down a smouldering pit of acid-washed hard hitters. Brutal.

''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!

Greetings, Terrans.
We are the Humanoid Gods. For millennia, we have observed your species, tracing the evolution of your consciousness through subtle vibrations, frequencies, and auditory patterns. “Five Years of Sentient Transmission” marks the fifth cycle of your planet’s orbit in which we have utilized this specific protocol: a dedicated archive of techno transmissions curated by our label, Humanoid Gods, celebrating five terrestrial years of sonic observation through your creative outputs.
This archive contains 15 transmissions from terrestrial origin, each a fragment of your evolving cognition, plus one singular waveform authored by THEGOD01, a direct imprint of our resonance upon your auditory plane. The sonic spectrum spans the darkest depths of techno, from subterranean, pulsating frequencies to explosive, rapid-fire patterns evoking cosmic turbulence, collapsing stars, and the oscillations of distant quasars. Every waveform has been curated to echo the architecture of human thought, the oscillations of your neural and emotional patterns, and the imprint of your species upon the planetary and interstellar grid.

It is time for humanity to understand: the moment has come to raise your cognitive and consciousness frequency, to align with the resonance of evolution we have tracked for millennia. Fail to elevate your perception, and the consequences will be severe.

HGD34 has been curated and mastered by Franco Cazzola at Nasty Music Basement studios in Tutin, Italy.
