Esquerda, Direita

CucaRafa - Cima Deles

As our #014, we present Answer Code Request, the Berlin-based artist who has established himself as one of techno's most innovative voices. With releases on renowned labels such as Ostgut Ton, MDR, and Monkeytown Records, and a celebrated residency at Berghain, ACR's hybrid sound—melding intricate breaks, pad-driven harmonies, and industrial textures—has solidified his place at the forefront of the scene.

ACR’s set begins on a mystical note, drawing listeners into a deep sonic journey interspersed with fragmented sounds. From the start, his signature style is unmistakable, immediately captivating and immersive. The rhythms gradually become more danceable as lush pads dissolve into the background, giving way to groovy, dub-influenced, and house-tinged elements. Halfway through, ACR shifts gears, seamlessly transitioning into more techno-driven beats that evolve into energetic house bangers.

A fitting soundtrack for the colder months—warm, dynamic and fascinating.

Sous Music is thrilled to welcome Ackermann as he kicks off 2025 with his first full EP release on the label. 
The Stuttgart-based DJ and producer initially made a strong impression on Sous with his remix contribution for Anja Schneider’s Reworks & Remixes VA in 2024, showcasing his distinctive sound and production skills.

Now returning with a full release, Ackermann delivers a powerful EP that highlights his versatility and signature style, characterized by cut-up vocals and a clear focus on the dancefloor. The release features two driving, high-energy techno tracks that showcase his trademark sound, alongside a third track with a more housy, groove-driven approach, offering a fresh dimension to his artistry.

Ackermann - Night Is a Buzz

Black Mirror Park is a DJ, producer, and live act based in Berlin. With over a decade of experience, he has been a key figure in several cultural and musical collectives in the city. His productions have landed on labels like Planet Rhythm, Different Sound, and KONFLKT, while his performances have taken him to some of Europe’s most respected techno venues, including Fusion Festival’s Turmbühne, Grelle Forelle in Vienna, Tresor Berlin, and Leipzig’s Institut für Zukunft. His collaborative live project with O/Y has seen the duo perform at Sisyphos’ 16th Birthday, a self-curated two-floor event at Südpol Hamburg, and a tour of Switzerland in 2024.

This mix takes a step back from high-intensity layering, instead reconnecting with his musical roots and adapting them to a modern, uptempo setting. Introspective sounds, melodic elements, and a touch of eeriness come together in a mix that allows each track to breathe and stand on its own.

Still hot off his Talking Drum EP for Liberta Records Deepchild makes his solo debut for Safe Space with Burned Flags and Ancient Rites. Resisting the notion that the current moment calls for depoliticising the dancefloor, Deepchilds work and continued artistic thesis speaks to transformation through and despite global trauma. Burned Flags and Ancient Rites offers 3, titular rust-tinged, splintered techno cuts, refracting and sharpening the artists early Berlin based work of smeared aesthetics and haunted machinery. Resisting business techno sheen, Ackermann adds a skeletal, muscular remix of techno primitivism to an ep of quiet resistance… In Deepchilds own words The only way that dance music might ever be deemed apolitical, would be if its historical roots foundations were obliterated and razed to rubble. At this moment, these (particularly Black, Brown, Latin, Queer) historical threads feel more crucial to explore than ever - even as they are actively erased at large by ethno-nationalist interest. Im confounded by any insistence that club spaces and music should remain neutral or dissociated from the very real call to action to engage at this time. Im cognizant that during these fractured times most of us are utterly exhausted and genuinely divided - terrified of using words like genocide or fascism to name what we see unfolding around in the Middle East and America. Yet we must be willing to lean into our own shared trauma, legitimate grief and boiling rage at this injustice. What have we have communally allowed to pass to lead us to this moment of polycrisis.? We must be willing to name the unnamable and we must resist. I still believe that club spaces can seed the possibility for genuine change, and its my hope that bold political discource can be fortified by the dance.
