Keepsakes, the alias of British-New Zealand producer and DJ James Barrett, has been a strong and distinctive voice in techno since rising to fame through his Stygian Concrete Works and Weapons Grade Manic EPs back in 2014. Since then he has showcased his powerful and menacing, yet often cheeky and playful, productions on influential labels including HAVEN, South London Analogue Material, Perc Trax, MORD, and Mindcut.

He told us what inspired him to record this podcast for us and how his pandemic yea worked out so far:
"The past year has been a very challenging time for the entire international techno scene, but out of this situation a lot of amazing music has been made - this mix is very much a tribute to that. It's mostly made up of new and unreleased music from myself, Haven affiliates, and artists I love that was created after the pandemic hit in March 2020. Usually, when I record a mix I pull together all the vinyls I've recently purchased, hit record, and start mixing - but for this one, I really wanted to showcase the hard work and passion so many producers have put into their music despite clubs being closed. Consider it a preview of what to expect from us all when the world opens up again over the next year or so."

OECUS Podcast #268 with MESSIAHWAITS

Raised in Seoul, S.Korea and spent a great deal of time in Berlin, Germany, where he honed his production skills and started to produce his own music. 

Approaching music as an art form rather than falling into genres and stereotypes, Messiahwaits takes his audience on a musical journey filled with droning atmospheres, repetitive jacking rhythms and a dark, disturbed aura that never fails to send the dance floor into a frenzy.

He's part of Voxnox Berlin and resident at renowned PAL nightclub in Hamburg. As a producer, Lifka has shown his versatility with outstanding releases on Voxnox Records, EXHALE, Space Trax and many more.

Beginning life as an FTP project after the pair became friends at a mutual concert in Vittoria. Envisioned partly an experiment and part of the soundtrack to a modern day remake of cruising set in Dubai. The duo's music is akin to the mutated screech of the werewolf... in a darkroom.

Twenty-fourth guest of the clubs podcast series is a duo from Spain - NX1, founders of Nexe Records

KHIDI Podcast NR.24: NX1

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

Alva demands commitment. Her fast-paced style turns dancefloors into a high-energy workout area. While hammering beats with a ravey feel fill up the room, she stretches the borders between your body and mind. Well-thought build-ups, diverse sound spectrums and fast precise mixing characterize her energetic sets. Her contemporary outtake on techno makes you want her to keep ongoing.

In 2018, the young, ambitious DJ became a resident at the Berlin-founded collective "ISMUS".
ISMUS organized sold-out, 36+ hour techno raves at the famous Berlin club Griessmuehle. Besides Griessmuehle, Alva has earned her stripes within the Berlin clubbing scene by playing almost every electronic music institution in the city imaginable. Her sound has echoed through Tresor, About Blank, and as highlight Säule (Berghain/Panorama Bar) in December 2019. Outside of Berlin, her name has appeared on many event posters throughout Germany and the rest of Europe like Das Werk (​AUT​), Corsica Studios (UK), and Schron (PL).

Apart from the bigger institutions, Alva has a lot of affinity with the local underground and activistic side of the club scene. She has closed the huge illegal warehouse rave of Bipolar and played the infamous underground club nights Mala Junta in Berlin and Endurance in Copenhagen. Further, she played multiple demonstrations for the perseverance of Berlin’s club culture like ISMUS’ 1st of May rave and the ‘Wem gehört die Stadt’-parade.
