We are thrilled to share a 90-minute excerpt of this exceptional set from 2021 that will always remain one of the most legendary moments on our dancefloor...

Wata Igarashi B2b Kangding Ray - Dantz Point Athens (Greece)

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.

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

REC 25 w/ Nørbak

One of today's driving minds behind textural and barrier-breaking soundscapes, Nørbak fully delivered on that promise in April. Guiding us through layers of gritty textures, deep basslines, and unconventional rhythms, he masterfully creates a dynamic conversation between each element, maintaining control at every turn. The result keeps us on edge, making it a perfect addition to our recorded live at Fuse series.

REC31 w/ Kr!z

Kr!z’s set on December 6th was a raw current of techno’s purest form: unvarnished, methodical, and deeply intentional. Under his Token Records banner, he gave us 120 minutes of stripped-back, high-impact techno, sealing off one of December’s best nights. Relive this standout moment above.

BLANKA - Openground 25.01.25

Recorded live at Danza Futura 2025, this set captures the full force of Temudo’s unique sound: sharp, minimal, driving — yet deeply emotional. As one of the most vital figures in Portugal’s techno scene and co-founder of Hayes Collective, Temudo delivered an unforgettable journey through pulsating rhythms, dense textures, and immersive sound design.

Let yourself be transported back to the forest, where nature and machine merge, and the dancefloor becomes a ritual.
