Live recording from K S R Label Night x WAYS at Evo, Trani on August 30th, 2025.

Kaiser B2B Matrixxman @ K S R x WAYS @ Evo, Trani - 30.08.2025

Here is the interview!

ACTANT: Can you tell me about your artist name PWCCA?

PWCCA: PWCCA is the Welsh name for a demonic creature or spirit, playful but dangerous. It was my evolution as a musician, a shift from my old AKA to a more defined and technically advanced sound. I also chose it because I like its written aesthetic.

ACTANT: PWCCA was born in 2019, but you produced earlier under the name Dr Cyanide. Can you tell me about the transition between the two?

PWCCA: It was the evolution that arose with the improvement of my production techniques and my ideas, although in reality, and logically, they still have some connection, since they are two AKA to produce the same style of music.

ACTANT: Why do you make music?

PWCCA: For me, it's a way of expression, entertainment and escape, I always wanted to create tools to be able to use in own DJ sets, to be able to listen to my music in the hands of great DJs… although it is true that today in my performances as a DJ, my music is what I use the least, since when I perform in Live format obviously, everything that sounds is mine, but a great motivation long ago was this.

ACTANT: The sound of your productions is  haunting, rough, extremely repetitious. What is the attraction of these sounds for you?

PWCCA: In techno music, I've always loved repetition. In fact, I think it's part of its essence. I like creating dense, dark, and dirty sounds. They particularly immerse me in an intense mental journey. Today, I don't want to give rise to frivolous sounds in my work, at least that's what I try to convey or capture.

ACTANT: As a record label, Hardtools seems to embrace a dark aesthetic, pointing at an interest in death, spirits, ghosts, and so forth. Do these realms hold a power that can be utilised in music?

PWCCA: For me, darkness, death, the universe or all of this that no one knows about, inspires me when creating my sound, I don't like to link my sound or the sound of different artists of the label, with colors or images that are not serious or more "Fun" I think that over time, I have become more strict with those things hehe, it doesn't mean that techno is this, but in my case it is what inspires me the most.

ACTANT: Where do you see techno evolving in the future? Will real, dark techno continue to expand as society continues to erode?

PWCCA: Techno will likely continue to expand because it taps into a collective sense of restlessness. It's a search for refuge, often logically linked to having fun. Many young artists will take over and maintain the essence, while others who seemed authentic will sell out to the highest bidder without flinching. It has always happened and will always continue to happen; it's part of the game.

ACTANT: What makes Spain such a powerful force in techno?

PWCCA: I think there are and have been great techno artists in Spain, influenced by the right sources. Many artists who have forged a unique and remarkable sound, known worldwide, highly influential people like Oscar Mulero, supporting national material. I think the different artists who re-emerge have a great source of inspiration without having to look too far. But only in a few cases is one a prophet in his own land...

ACTANT: Finally, who are your favorite artists and labels right now?

PWCCA: I like listening to old artists like Wünsch, Mulero, Surgeon, Regis, Portion Reform (R&F), Mugon… but today we also have a wave of brutal producers like Kike Pravda, Lakej, Lewis Fautzi, Pyramidal Decode, KØLPØS, Ribé, Endplate, Oliver Rosemann, Stanislav Tolkachev, among many others. There are great Labels like Mord, Semántica, Pole Group or Warm Up, and others, offering great stuff, but I think that a large part of the scene is also supported by labels of less “prestigious” since there are many tracks edited in these, which are used by world-class DJs.

🎧 Selector L14 | Alejandro López
es un DJ y artista emergente radicado en Envigado, Colombia. Su camino en la cultura techno comenzó en Pereira, primero como raver, donde descubrió su afinidad por sonidos hipnóticos, corrosivos y potentes, capaces de llevar al oyente a un estado de trance y liberación.

Su estilo se define por la profundidad del deep y el hypnotic, la energía cruda del raw y el impulso rítmico del driving, generando experiencias sonoras que invitan a fluir, soltar y habitar el presente. En cada set construye un viaje donde la música no solo se escucha, sino que se siente como un canal de conexión con el entorno y con uno mismo.

💬 Escucha, vibra y dime qué te transmite. Busco retroalimentación para seguir evolucionando en cada mezcla.
