ROIRO Mix Series

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Paàl

Paàl is one of Voitax’s founders, an avid vinyl collector and tireless DJ. Those who have experienced his sets will know his uncanny ability to adapt and move with the crowd. This is an artist who is comfortable drawing out long transitions between deeper movements, as he is rapidly cutting between high-energy, dancefloor bombs. At peak moments, tracks are mixed within minutes and somehow, before you know it, a whole variety of rhythmic electronics has been transformed into drum machine workouts, while not limiting himself to any genre. This is his relentless sound: wild and boundless – one that is also showcased with flair in his studio productions.

Following on from a string of remixes and V/A appearances, his debut EP, ‘Fitz Roy’ was released on Voitax in 2018 – featuring complex sound design, metallic broken beats and frenzied, peak-time dancefloor tracks. The EP was widely supported globally.

Two years later, comes his second solo six-track EP, 'Soothing Songs For A Cultured Affair' on Midnight Shift Records. Awashed with a palate of dark and broken sounds, yet with touches of warmth and humor, it burrows deep into the mind of the artist. Paàl’s penchant for thunderous, rumbling low ends sets the precedent for the EP, with glimpses of the artist’s knack for melodies and harmonies.

As you could guess from his ever-growing analog studio setup, Paàl’s has an undying passion for hardware – drum machines, synths and pedals tracked through a mixing desk, raw and unedited. Imperfections intrinsic to this process are essential to him – warm, organic and, at times, lo-fi and grainy.
His first DJ gigs were at DIY raves held in air hangars and derelict structures left over from the fallout of the DDR. Having quickly garnered a name for himself, and fuelled by a relentless drive, Paàl and his friends Christoph, Martin, and Marcus turned their attention towards setting up a record label they called Voitax Records – and the rest, as they say, is history. The label has since become synonymous with off-kilter electronics, attested by its global support.

Establishing himself as a meticulous selector, Paàl eclectic vinyl-only DJ sets span multiple tempos and genres and have seen him touring Asia, South America and Europe, including a stint in the seminal Berlin institution, Berghain. Expect to hear more from this talent.

Enjoy!

Never Sleep present Paula Temple 'Live from the Mill".

Recorded live in the UK's oldest rave capital Preston in the beautiful summer of 1995. One of Paula Temple's earliest gigs, this mix was recorded at a rave in Preston 27 years ago when she was 18 years old.

Vinyl only at the time, this mixtape embodies the style she is consistently known for, a mix of raw relentless techno and rave.
In 1995 making mixtapes was the only way to go, so Paula would make mixtapes to give to her friends at clubs around the North of England such as Bugged Out (Manchester), The Orbit (Morley) and Voodoo (Liverpool).

Paula submitted this mixtape to MUZIK magazine to spend a day with techno artist Dave Angel.
Triumphantly she spent the day with Dave in his studio, was featured in the magazine and was just a young girl chasing her dream.

When we asked for this possible collaboration she dug deep and found a forgotten tape from long ago that had been lost but recently found, Archivio has brought it back to life for you to hear the younger Paula Temple's passion for the underground.

All proceeds go the amazing www.womenonweb.org charity which supports women rights across the globe and provides abortion care for the most in need.

We are truly honored to put out a small testament in time and help those in the future.

RYC 342 Rune Bagge

Reclaim Your City 342 | Rune Bagge

British-New Zealand producer and DJ Keepsakes has always had his focus on introducing crowds to previously unheard music. Out of a realisation that New Zealand was woefully deficient of the experimental, hard techno he favoured, his co-run party series Haven was born. Haven soon developed a loyal community and, in 2018, expanded to the already revered vinyl-focused record label now based in Berlin. Becoming familiar with his unbeatable bold techno, we had to invite him to come and play at UNFOLD 008. 

For this next episode of DETECT, we’re sharing the recording of his set that afternoon, which took stock of Haven’s stellar achievements and adventurous ethos for a blistering blast-off into the stratosphere.

DETECT [010] - Keepsakes

ROIRO is a mystic and energetic techno label.
Run by Golpe Mortal, KOSEI and the2$.
Established at Tokyo in 2022.
