Sequence Podcast 026 - Di² @ Annex / Open Ground

The 59th episode of Schimmer's podcast series was recorded by Berlin-based DJ and promoter Reka Zalan.

Reka is known for hypnotic depths and percussive drives — always tuned to atmosphere and often drawn to the gloomier sides of Techno. Her sets, whether digital or vinyl, move forward, outward, and inward, balancing tension and flow. Deeply rooted in Berlin’s scene, she’s a local Tresor resident, Hard Wax staffer, part of Coppi collective, and former ://elements co-host. Before immersing herself fully into club life, she worked at the Berlin Music Commission. Driven by curiosity and connection, Reka loves building bridges through sound and shared moments.

Schimmer Podcast #059 with Reka Zalan

For our 31st podcast, we're excited to share a part of a fantastic mix recently recorded at Lux Frágil in Lisbon by Portuguese DJ and producer Fresko (@fresk0). We really like this one, as it’s a smooth and slower-paced blend of deep atmospheres, tribalistic percussive rhythms and sci-fi-esque bleeps and basslines.

V:SONNTAG !

Eine Leipziger DJ, die mit ihrem hypnotischen, fokussierten Sound längst über die Grenzen ihrer Heimatstadt hinaus bekannt geworden ist. Während sie in Leipzig eng mit der lokalen Szene rund um das inzwischen geschlossene, aber legendäre Institut für Zukunft und die Neue Welle verbunden ist, hat sie auch auf renommierten Bühnen wie ://about:blank, Tresor und Berghain gespielt.

Als Gründerin des Focus: Podcast und Mitglied des Nebula-Kollektivs prägt sie eine ästhetische Handschrift, die zwischen trippiger Tiefe, dunkler Energie und minimal-grooviger Leichtigkeit oszilliert. Ihr Anspruch ist es, Sets mit klarer Dramaturgie zu gestalten, die das Publikum auf eine Reise mitnehmen – mit einem roten Faden, der von den ersten bis zu den letzten Klängen durchgezogen ist.

Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erregte ihr legendäres Closing im Tresor, bei dem sie trotz Nervosität und angeschlagener Gesundheit die Nacht bis in den Mittag hinein prägte. Die Intensität dieser Erfahrung und die enge Verbundenheit zu ihrem Umfeld unterstreichen, wie sehr V:SONNTAG Musik nicht nur als Performance, sondern als kollektives Erlebnis versteht.

Ihre „geheime Waffe“ ist die sorgfältige Vorbereitung: Jedes Set wird von ihr akribisch durchdacht, um den Flow bewusst zu formen und die Energie im Raum Schritt für Schritt zu steigern. Dabei kombiniert sie gerne dunkle, hypnotische Klänge mit melodischen Elementen, die im Verlauf für überraschende Wendungen sorgen.

V:SONNTAG !

A Leipzig-based DJ, V:SONNTAG has long made a name for herself beyond the borders of her hometown with her hypnotic and focused sound. While deeply connected to the local scene surrounding the now-closed but legendary Institut für Zukunft and Neue Welle, she has also performed at renowned venues such as ://about:blank, Tresor, and Berghain.

As the founder of the Focus: Podcast and a member of the Nebula collective, she shapes an aesthetic signature that oscillates between trippy depth, dark energy, and minimal, groovy lightness. Her ambition is to create sets with a clear dramaturgy that take the audience on a journey – with a red thread running from the very first to the very last sound.

Her legendary Tresor closing gained particular attention, where despite nervousness and feeling unwell, she shaped the night until well into the following day. The intensity of this experience and her close connection to those around her highlight how much V:SONNTAG understands music not only as performance, but as a collective experience.

Her “secret weapon” is meticulous preparation: every set is carefully thought out to deliberately shape the flow and gradually build up the energy in the room. In doing so, she loves to combine dark, hypnotic sounds with melodic elements that create surprising twists along the way.

quartal. podcast with V:SONNTAG

Perhaps most known for his work as half of techno outfit Cassegrain, Istanbul native Hüseyin Evirgen has been active as solo artist since 2016 and making a name in his own right. His early classical training has taken a broader form in more recent years, a mashup of inspirations with strong mathematical current where simple ideas culminate in more complex and exponential compositions. Under the name Magna Pia, and adjunct label Arcing Seas his hulking techno has taken shape, and the imprint’s proven a platform for the publishing of his own work, Cassegrain’s and that of a small number of his close collaborators. His driving beats offer powerful and provocative moments mixed in with a clever spin on ambient that’s recognizable from a mile off, and constantly pushing what’s possible in sound to new and unforeseen heights. His 2019 album Daiauna was a return to roots record that incorporated his earlier training as piano player with the fluid electronics developed since, foraging too from his keen instinct for primal rhythms and high-brow symbolism. In the end it’s deeply physical, and proof of techno’s staying power as a medium for dance and social change. Bassiani Podcast 27 covers all these bases and more, an honest and striking addition to a body of work in constant flux. 4/4 magic from a true master.
