Lost Tapes

Tape 4

Here's the 2,5 hour recording of my closing set at Illegal Romance this summer. I really enjoyed playing this and have really enjoyed listening back to this set. The vibe at these events are incredible and I think you can honestly hear that through this recording. It really shows what I like to convey in my sets lately and it's been a while since I've posted something by myself, so I thought it'd be a good time to post it :)

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

SAMA closing set at Psychedelic Romance, Amsterdam [27.07.25]

As always, a vinyl only session by Louis The 4th.

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ AUSPEX

Having cut his teeth over the last decade coming up through Brooklyn's warehouse scene, NYC-based Auspex has solidified himself as a regular fixture and contributor to its underground techno community, a DJ, producer, label boss and tireless organizer very much at home in the city's vibrant queer nightlife scene.
Having made regular appearances over the years at such legendary parties like The Bunker, Merge and Unter, he soon found himself at the helm of the transcendent party ALTÆR when Basement emerged onto the club-scape. Now six years running, ALTÆR has become known for its immersive and music-driven line-ups, pulling the together some of the world's best international techno and house talents. He's also made frequent appearances in Berlin at venues like RSO , Griessmuehle and most recently Berghain, as well as appearances at underground functions like Pornceptual, Gegen and STAUB.
Most recently, he launched his own techno imprint Templum to showcase his production work and some of the hottest and most prolific producers of hypnotic and raw techno working in the industry today. With a healthy and robust release calendar already in the pipeline, Templum is poised to become a major source of dance floor fire power in the months and years ahead.
Musically, Auspex conjures techno as a space of collective hypnosis—with sets that move with fluid precision and driving percussion through intergalactic expanses, leading dancers through spiraling grooves and sensory depth, shaping an experience that's equal parts body ritual and psychedelic voyage. As a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, his compositions are in infused with narrative tension and a rambunctious mischief, driving dance floors to bedlam and then back again.

This time around we’re more than pleased to welcome the Ukrainian artist to the series. 

With releases on BITE, Flash, Standard Deviation and performances across Berghain, Tresor, RSO and Nuits Sonores, GAEL continues to work within the scene with a style of Techno that is deeply expressive, electric and alive.

For this one, I’m bringing in GAEL, an artist whose sound fits the Renegade Sessions spirit perfectly. Raw, tense and straight to the point. No gloss, no compromise. There’s a certain weight and tension in GAEL’s music that I connect with naturally. It’s dark, it’s physical and stripped of anything unnecessary.
I first came across GAEL through the ‘Frozen White Horse’  release on BITE, which left a strong impression on me. So I was curious to hear what kind of mix would come out of this session.
What you get here is exactly what I hoped for. Driven selections that hit hard but still hold focus towards a deeper path.
This is proper Renegade Sessions material through and through."

GAEL | THE RENEGADE SESSIONS 048

✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #208 -- JON HESTER

ROD_A discovered his passion for electronic music in the early 2010s and has been a steady presence in Saarbrücken’s underground scene ever since. Starting out as a resident at Unsichtbar in 2013, he honed his craft behind the decks and developed a strong sense for the dance floor’s energy. In 2018, he launched the event series Adapter and became a resident at Mauerpfeiffer, before co-founding the label Grab The Groove with Morgenstern — a home for timeless techno from both new and established artists.

ROD_A’s guiding principle is simple: play what you love. His sets reflect that dedication — unfiltered, driving, and built from deep digging and pure instinct.

This mix was recorded live at Silodom Saarbrücken on Halloween, between 2 and 3am. A peak-time set full of intensity and atmosphere, it captures the raw energy of a night that kept the crowd locked in from start to finish.

BCCO Mix Series 713: ROD_A

Lisbon-born CRAVO @cravomusic has shaped his sound through study,
community and a steady respect for swing and syncopation.
Trained in audiovisual arts, his first steps in music happened in
2007 through reggae and dub while at Caldas da Rainha.
PeterSmiling and the I’n’High Sound System gave him stages
and a first set of original tracks. In 2010 he turned to techno,
pivoting to a tempo and palette of textures that were once offlimits.

In 2011 he formed -2 [menosdois] with Vasco Guerreiro. The
duo explored the rougher edges of the genre and created small
experiments that were the blueprint for what was to come. That
circle widened in 2017 with HAYES Collective, a platform
CRAVO helped shape alongside his friends VIL, Temudo,
Nørbak, Enkō and Autrane. Together, they built a catalogue
and a following who listen closely and affectionately to its
output, quickly becoming one of Portugal’s leading techno
imprints.

Today, his sets and music releases share a clear internal
thread. Call it a vibe if needed. There is soul and a forward pull
in all of his work and his tracks carry the weight of a broad
musical experience. As a solo artist he focuses on techno and
house lineages that value emotion without losing drive.
CRAVO’s releases are spread across a multitude of labels,
notably on Klockworks, SK_Eleven and HAYES, with new steps
under his label Carícia. Curation is also part of the work. In
2021 he joined Enkō and VIL to start SUMMA, an event series
now regular at Outra Cena in Lisbon. The room’s postapocalyptic
architectural mood sets a frame for forward thinking
techno with hints of the classic school. Slots usually run long,
often three or four hours, and upcoming national artists are
given space to build trust with the crowd. The result feels a little
like a cult, restrained but powerful.
