Ancient Methods LIVE HÖR BERLIN 07.05.2021

Héctor Oaks needs little introduction, the acclaimed techno wunderkind and friend of Bassiani has taken the club scene by storm in recent years with his unflinching and witty sounds. Not for nothing either, few DJs deliver such Herculean sets without so much as a dip in momentum. For the hundredth instalment of our Podcast series we’re releasing a very special recording of a set at Horoom’s NYE 2018 party played under his Cadency alias. We’re no stranger to parties but this one sticks out in our memory, one of the best, if not the best.

Since rolling his musical sleeves up in 2006, the name Voiski has exponentially grown in renown; his endless quest for new sounds manifested across a number of releases and self-started labels like Silicate and Super 95. Add to that a cosmically ordained taste for collaboration that has seen him join forces with names as diverse as Vril, Antigone and Svengalisghost and you have one of the most prolific and exciting names to have come out of France in the last decade. There’s a touch of classic loop techno, noughties electro and a newfound affection for Persian mysticism in his work, eagerly cross-bred to make his inimitable ‘post-trance’ sound. You’ll get a stem-winding taste of it here: Bassiani Podcast 151 is brazen four-to-the-floor techno spliced with shimmering synths, Voiski at his very prime.

Bassiani invites Voiski / Podcast #151

Razing the boundaries between post-punk-minded industrialism, dusty hardware hoodoo and noise-adjacent explorations of electronics’ wilder end, Canadian outfit Orphx has been dishing out some of the finest slabs in recent times when it comes to bringing along that steely, sedition-inducing warehouse ruckus in town. Showering hazardously riotous brainwaves upon crowds of unsuspecting ravers as they subjugate your eardrums to a tempest of rough-edged sines, warlike percussions and filthy analogue whorls, Orphx know no rest in putting your senses to the test throughout a vortical parade of foaming, rumble-ready techno madness. Lock in, zone out.

KHIDI Podcast NR.27: Ancient Methods

We are delighted to celebrate our 5th anniversary with the German producer Ancient Methods (Persephonic Sirens / [aufnahme + wiedergabe].

Ancient Methods is the project of Michael Wollenhaupt.

Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ - movement. 
This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. 
However the mechanical framework is - no more, no less - a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.
The project is pictorially associated with „The Fall Of Jericho“-picture, that adorned the first releases of the eponymous „Ancient Methods“ label. 
The wall-breaking image is metaphorical not only for the sound of the project. 
Bringing formerly rather dissociated musical subcultures closer to each other has been an integral and fertile part of Michael Wollenhaupt’s work. 
The results are not only well documented by releases on labels like aufnahme + wiedergabe, HANDS and Hospital Productions. 

As a prolific remixer he worked among many others for the post-punkers of Soft Moon, synth-pop greats Wolfsheim, industrial-legends Bourbonese Qualk, synth-wave icon Beta Evers and beat-scientist Powell. 
The project has also been playing genre- crossing festivals like Maschinenfest, Wave-Positive Education - to name a few.
The genre-crossing qualities of the projects not only become obvious in his productions or during the live shows (the latter supported by Wahiba Khadri on drums and guitar) but also during Ancient Methods’ DJ-sets. 
Michael is dragging his obvious influences such as wave, EBM, industrial but also classical, liturgical, psychedelic and folk music into the techno frame to drop them on the dance floors and hereby delivering an intimate, rather introverted euphoria. 

Under the Room 506 moniker some of his DJ-edits (e.g. for Killian Camera or Deutsch Nepal received vinyl releases due to public demand).
Throughout the years Wollenhaupt has been collaborating with Regis to form Ugandan Methods, with Orphx as Eschaton, with Cindytalk as In The Mouth Of The Wolf, and Prurient taking the project to new levels.
The border crossing is furthermore elaborated with a monthly radio show on Berlin Community Radio and the launch of a new label from Ancient Methods, Persephonic Sirens, which aim is to support new and like-minded artists.

We could not be more honored to host one of our favorite artists on the series.
Enjoy the ride!
