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

olesia is a Russian-born, London-based queer DJ who goes in HARD. Think slamming techno that jumps from clean kickdrums to gnarlier beats of the early 90s, with the occasional jaw-grinding vocal thrown in at just the right time. Having played across the UK capital for Lobsterfest, Unfold, Riposte, Find Me In The Dark, Boudica and Inferno, she's navigated fluctuating crowds and various club settings, allowing her to expand her skill and ultimately hold the dancefloor in the palm of her hand. 

Co-founder of Technomate, she uses the platform as an event, educational, and podcast platform to champion and showcase international FLINTA (female, lesbian, inter, non-binary, trans and asexual / agender) artists. While Technomate garners an online presence via a residency on Threads radio and standalone podcast series, olesia curates each aspect of TM8 to nurture London's techno scene for the better. Whether she's organizing discussions with established artists as part of the TM8 .edu series or booking the next round of inspiring and emerging artists for TM8 parties, olesia is a true talent contributing significant value to club culture in 2022.

TM8 Q: When did you go to a club or a rave for the first time? 

A: "As soon as I turned 18, I went to the most popular club in my small city wearing a full sequin top, stiletto heels and my little asymmetrical bob. At this point I’ve never heard of techno music before so we were all bopping along to the most popular tracks on the radio at the time and had an absolute blast. It was a very different time for me."

Ukrainian-Australian artist Katia Val delivers TM8 #35, blending breakbeat, acid and lush techno into a potent hour of pleasure. The Paris-based producer and DJ is on a roll at the moment and her experience is mounting at the minute — she’s played at @about-blank-berlin, @etandetsted, @anomalieartclubberlin, Hangar FL and shared milestone mixes for @hoerberlin, @redlightradio, @possessiontechno and @rawppl. When it comes to producing, Katia leans toward several genres, making vibrant tones ripe and ready for a club soundsystem. On her Technomate podcast, Katia shows us what she’s all about in this bright session of psychedelic sounds.

Katia Val | TM8 #35

OLHA is a Ukraine-born DJ & performance artist, based between Kyiv and Berlin. 
She is a co-founder of Kyiv-based event series, platform for talent and community called DRIFT KYIV. She is also a resident of Kyiv Trance Mission parties.

Being an acute observer and perceiving the reality through narratives for alternative histories and possible scenarios of our futures, she is carefully arranging her sets, transforming them into catalysts for emotional elevation, euphoric exaltation and liberation. Diving into the memories of hardcore rave mystery she soundtracks magnetic, fast paced and intense fairytale magic blasting with emotions, melancholy, romance and subtle nostalgia. Her musical language is filled with sublime melodies, industrial loudness, hard & raw magnetism and explosive, transcendental ripples, which liberate and inspire bliss.

TM8 Q: Track - memory?
A: "LSG - Netherworld 2005 (Oliver Prime remix) - I will never forget the feeling of playing this for my Berlin debut early this year, it’s one of my favourite tracks of all time and this was a very special set to me. It was also the first time meeting friends that I had only spoken to through socials beforehand, it was incredibly wholesome to see them come to support and dance with me."

Following her insane set for us over the summer at TM8 Party #06, we are delighted to feature HØLEIGH on our podcast series. A prolific name on Manchester's techno circuit, HØLEIGH builds her sets with exquisitely-selected grooves, rumbling basslines and a touch of trance. Having made her well-due debut on @hoerberlin in October and played for parties like Teletech and @ismusberlin several times over, HØLEIGH’s schedule continues to grow by the minute. On her one-hour power pod, the Mancunian delivers a speedy, psy-flavoured mix packed with huge drums and tripped-out melodies, finishing on an ambient note. A talent to watch, 100%.

Morph #13 Ida Engelhardt

In times of #Corona people have to keep touching each other without really physically touching each other, by staying #connected in their hearts and minds. This is possible and necessary in order to strengthen the cohesion within the population and to show #solidarity among each other. Through small gestures of attention, helpfulness, encouragement, contact, encouraging words and especially #sharing #music, we can help each other to overcome this unprecedented state of emergency and to remain an #inclusive and #supportive #community.

Our goal is to create a new #opportunity for #DJs from all over the world to share their music without borders and stay #connected #digitally. Moreover the artists will share their personal opinion about the #quarantine situation, explain how it affects them and how they try to deal with it.

Even if it is no longer possible for us to be together physically for an indefinite period of time and to live out our joy and love for music in #clubs and at #festivals, we can still #participate in each other’s lives through an online connection and stand this through together. Although states have #locked their #borders to each other, we shouldn’t create borders in our heads. Now is the time to get rid of all the borders in our minds and tear down the walls in our hearts - we’re in this #together.

Our 17th guest on board is the French producer and Union Trance Mission label owner DJ REIZ
