VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Hailing originally from Milan, Italy, the young Alarico has been popping up left and right internationally on various flyers and record releases, both of them hinting at a great career in the making. Part of a new freshman class of artists working on raw, deep, and quick techno, his productions often result in psychotic effect. Fast, swinging hats chase a rolling synth line made only more erratic by confronting stabs.

In an era where emulating vintage sound is the trend, Alarico takes the best of the past and extracts the cheapness before looking forward, creating records of very reliable effect that have been employed by the world’s top selectors. Taking all of this into account, it would only make sense to have him release on HAYES collective, do a 14-track mental breakdown of a record on Diffuse Reality, do his first contribution to Token, or deliver probably his most successful release yet on Amsterdam’s OOM Records.

In episode #204, welcome to another production talent - Red Rooms! Enjoy !

[BIO]:
Red Rooms (Dominik) started producing electronic music and DJing back in 2003 on his first pair of Reloop turntables his father gifted to him on his 16th birthday. Since that day it was all about electronic music. On his almost 20 year long musical journey he played and produced various electronic genres which influence his sound to the present day. In 2017 Red Rooms came to life with a clear focus on minimalistic, hypnotic, groovy, sometimes trippy techno inspired by tracks and sets from artists such as Rodhad, Exium, Dasha Rush, Truncate, TWR72 just to name a few.

Reclaim Your City 506 | Alarico (Bergamo)

Boss of Katana Records, also known as one half of Italian duo Funk Assault, Bergamo-based operator Alarico steps in the series with two hours of hi-octane state of siege. Pulling out all the stops on his way to peak-time bliss, Alarico multiplies frantic angle-shifts and radical U-turns, nervously oscillating between raging uptempo whorls and fractured dystopian ambiences to weave his own compelling narrative that thinks and ticks outside the main genre’s box. Proper flawless and highly selective slice of mind-razing machine wares.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 506 | Alarico

Over the past few years, somewhat mysteriously, @volster has gradually become one of the most noted fresh figures of the Croatian electronic scene. Leaving his signature through production, DJing, event organisation and successfully running a label imprint, Secesson Records.
The main subculture Marko was positively exposed to in the 90’s was techno, a style he has been practicing for almost two decades now. As he was performing within and outside the Croatian borders, Volster started experimenting and developing his signature textured sound leading him signing and publishing his work across his own imprint to labels like @edit-select, @bcco, @vakum-records, @anaohrecords, @northallsenrecords, etc...
Parallel to this musical chapter of his life, Volster launched a series of TRAUM events in his hometown, bringing a new style of techno and club life, very characteristic in majority of Europe, to the local audience. To this day Volster has performed across the Europe ranging from clubs in Berlin, Barcelona, Budapest to several festivals... that brought him to his most notable appearance and debut performance at the infamous club Berghain - Panorama Bar on September 2019.
