INFO:
A natural fit for the Token label and now a regular contributor, Nørbak presents his new release ‘Flauta’ on the Belgian imprint. Keeping things driving and dense, his productions boast a raw intensity, continuing to describe spacious rooms with roaring atmospheres. 

The title track serves as a firm introduction to the project; ‘Flauta’ is a typical Nørbak A1. Claps on the kick, thick sound design on all levels, and tribal percussion make for an imposing first track. Finding groove in the chaos is never difficult for the Portuguese artist, his seamless blend of functional and mental techno make for quite a recognizable sound with reliable effect. On the other hand, his followup ‘Despida’ sharpens the tone and focuses its elements. Proving he can do just as much damage with a more minimal approach, Nørbak drops the claps for shakers and whips up a distorted stab as the main driver of the track. Despite the versatility of his records, there is something very homogenous about the tonality of his drums and synths - they seem electric, and ‘Despida’ truly nails that aesthetic. Moving on to the B side, we have yet another facade of the project. While ‘Golpe’ has a classic foundation, Nørbak’s flamboyant sound design guides the track’s arrangement, making anything but a loop. The record’s structure makes for clear accents that insist on a pulsating atmosphere. This moves perfectly into the EP’s conclusion. ‘Camarada’ resembles more ‘Despida’ in the minimal construction, retaining a lot of the squelching lead textures. Mastering the question/answer style of techno, Nørbak is able to capitalize on the tonality of his sonic experiments to create swing on the dance floor. Obscure, quick, and elusive, Nørbak wraps up ‘Flauta’ with restraint and efficiency.

@slv-berlin | A Different Space EP 
[SOMA495D]

SLV marks a return to Soma with his latest single, ‘A Different Space EP’. As usual, the anonymous producer deliver his trademark style of hard hitting percussive tracks built around interesting melodies and sequences.

After the ambient opener, A Different Space, Hook kicks off the EP at pace. SLV’s pumping kicks and low end create the groundwork for shuffling percussive elements and rasping hi hats tied nicely together by an infections and warping synth line. Keeping up the high tempo, Tars goes full pelt with a solid repetitive beat which proves to be an effective dance floor cut. Closing out this latest release, Radiance has a more haunting feel as unnerving, hardly recognisable vocals and tweeted out synth element move around another stomping and heavy handed beat.

SLV once again proves his credentials as one of the most exciting producers moving up the Techno ranks.

NoizCode is a Rhode Island–based live electronic performer known for sculpting dense, hypnotic techno that blurs the line between precision and chaos. His sets are a physical experience—built from pounding percussion, evolving synth textures, and raw improvisation that keeps every performance unpredictable.

Emerging from the New England underground, NoizCode has developed a reputation for hardware-driven sets that reject pre-recorded comfort in favor of live construction. Drawing from industrial, raw, and experimental influences, his sound merges relentless rhythm with atmospheric grit, creating moments that feel both mechanical and human.

While his roots lie in dark, high-energy techno, NoizCode also explores brooding ambient environments under the same moniker—soundscapes that contrast his more visceral club work. Recent performances have placed him alongside regional live acts pushing the boundaries of improvised electronic performance.

For those seeking the intensity of unfiltered live techno, NoizCode’s sets offer a singular journey into sound and control.

Now an established force in contemporary Techno, Mike Bierbach, better known under his stage name Rødhåd is someone who has seriously put in the work. Having cut his teeth DJing as a relatively unnoted (but well loved by those in the know) local in Berlin for 10 years, one could argue that by the time success knocked on his door, he was more than ready for playing the international stage. It was during these 10 years of obscurity when he refined his craft to become the singular DJ he is now. 

Launching his party-series-turned-label Dystopian in 2009 was what truly tipped the ball over for Rødhåd. In a time where the Berlin scene was heavily oversaturated by fluffy, miscellaneous dance music, he & his peers set out to form a platform for real techno. The reception to this was raucous. 

Although he has lauded productions and remixes to his name, DJing is his true forte. Before abandoning his day job as a draftsman in construction “The Red” (as some call him due to his gingered, bearded appearance) was known for playing very long sets in Berlin’s most notorious hideaways. 

With an album, several EPs & remixes for a multitude of different artists under his belt, Rødhåd the producer has received equal praise as Rødhåd the DJ. Dystopian has hosted most of his releases, but in 2018 he founded a new label WSNWG that serves as a home for collaborative productions, excavated in sessions at his East-Berlin studio with his peers such as Lucy, Alex.Do, & Antigone.
