Dive into the depths of this hypnotic ether, where the sounds of sirens beckon and the beats carry the pulse of the gods themselves. Mythos Podcast is more than just a podcast — it’s a journey through the mythical soundscapes of Deep, Raw & Hypnotic Techno: an odyssey of technoid adventure, created to beguile the senses and liberate the mind. But be warned — just as the Minotaur lurks in the labyrinth, an untamed force hides in the frequencies between the peaks of Mount Olympus.

Dive into the depths of this hypnotic ether — and welcome to Episode 4 of the Mythos Podcast series. My name is Marcel Cousteau, and this time we have a guest mix on our show. Our guest has been in the scene for a while and has released numerous tracks under various aliases. Keep an eye out for his future releases. But enough talk — please welcome to the show: Rey Alister.

DYSTOPIA is an exploration of the philosophical aspects of techno. In this first episode I provide some perspectives on how techno presents an image of dystopian society as well as delivers the coordinates for an abstract world of energy that lies beyond it. I then focus upon the music of Swedish techno producer Lakej as a perfect example of techno abstraction and have a detailed chat with him about his production methodology, musical philosophy, and also his motivations behind starting his own record label. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more episodes with other visionary artists!

"My sound is not about note, it's about envelope." So says Belgian techno innovator Carmelo Ponente in this second episode of DYSTOPIA, where our focus shifts squarely to the relationship between techno and the cosmos. The rigorous synergy between the two can be explained on the basis of their shared abstraction: the universe is the abstract space par excellence, a sphere of unlimited, yet unformed, potential, and techno is the musical equivalent, a sonic form stripped of organisational components and operating as a raw energetic structure. The episode focuses on the music of Carmelo Ponente as a great example of cosmic techno and he shares his insights about his musical philosophy, the ongoing evolution of his sound, as well as his upcoming projects.

DYSTOPIA 002: CARMELO PONENTE

SCAPE 25

"You can get deeply lost in the darkness if you let yourself merge with it and not fight it.” With this statement, Denise Rabe vividly encapsulates her musical philosophy. As this episode of DYSTOPIA exhibits, her sound is less a musical form than a collection of sounds generating a tense, haunting atmosphere. Rabe's methods and ideas show with total clarity how darkness, what our society incorrectly perceives as negative, is in fact an opening onto a radically liberated world of abstract forces. In this episode I seek to define the meaning of darkness in techno and Denise also shares her thoughts with us about Berghain, the role of gender within the techno scene, how her personal philosophy is expressed through her music, as well as the fortuitous synergy between her name and the spirit of her music. Enjoy the darkness!

Rey Alister started producing electronic music in the late 90s and created countless aliases for different styles he tried out. Since 2007 he mainly produced freaky Tech House under his alter ego Mentalic, but the part of Rey Alister grew more and more important as years went by. First releases under that name came in 2008 on Labrynth Records, appearences on M_Rec, Primitive State, Hidden Secrets, ORKS, Armatura and others followed. He always had a preference for melodies and music with a dreamy, melancholic and dystopic dark mood in particular, that's where he feels most comfortable. His tracks perfectly reflect his experiences and points of view. It's his way to process everyday life.
