Based in Stockholm, Lakej emerges from a long heritage of Swedish techno.
After many years of explorations to refine his sound, he debuted on Adriana Lopez label Grey
Report with the solo EP Structural Cohesion. This debut presented a theme that would guide not
only his sound but also his concepts and titles to this current date resulting in his own label and
artistic platform: Solitär.

Since the debut his output has been steady on well established labels such as Semantica, NON
series, Faut Section, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, Soma and Kazerne (Mord).

Greek-born and Berlin-based, producer and DJ AgainstMe is a resident at SMUT Athens and a co-founder of the SOCIETY 3000 collective. His project is rooted in the ongoing quest to connect with one's inner voice. For him, techno — characterized by hypnotic melodies, pounding drum patterns, and a ritualistic intensity — offered a revolutionary and unifying sound that sharply contrasted with everything he had known before.

Since discovering his passion for techno in 2014 at just 16 years old, his sound has steadily evolved, and his releases have gained international recognition. His DJ sets, much like his productions, weave together driving rhythms and atmospheric textures, creating immersive experiences that captivate audiences around the globe.

This is a live recording from the Kinitra III Fundraiser at Tillatec in Amsterdam, held on Friday, May 16, 2025.

@manuabeca is an Argentinian-born, Berlin-based artist. His sets explore the space between hypnotic techno, deep melodic rhythms, and emotional intensity.

This particular mix was recorded live in Japan, during a reflective trip through Asia. It includes manu's unreleased material produced along the way and captures a moment of emotional clarity. manu abeca’s sound reflects both his sensibility as a producer and his instinct as a selector. The set is shaped by the solitude and movement of the journey.

manu recently released his first vinyl EP Eudaimonia on RAUM Records, which has already been supported by key artists in the scene including MARRØN, Claudio PRC, and Rene Wise, and he is currently working on several upcoming releases.

Welcome to the 13th episode of The Gekiga podcast. For today’s set, it’s my honor and pleasure to welcome my comrade, and homie NWHR. 

The term “prodigy” gets tossed around a lot, and in most cases it’s a meaningless descriptor, but with Franco there’s no doubt in my mind it not only applies but underestimates his talents. 

As a producer in his early twenties, his resume already puts guys twice his age to shame. Having dropped masterpieces on Bas Mooy’s MORD Records, ØM’s WARM-UP label, a double vinyl on the incredible Nachtstrom Schallplatten (where I had the honor to contribute the cover art), Illegal Alien Records, [R]3volution Records, Prophet Recordings, a collaborative LP with the underground icon Kolpos, and on and on and on. There’s no one who has accumulated the level of respect and appreciation from the best of the best in such a short time and at such a young age. 

Today’s set is a journey through dark, hypnotic textures and assertive rhythms that only Franco can deliver. To have such a sophisticated, defined artistic signature so early in his career is mind boggling and I’m here to support, witness, and cheer my brother every step of the way. 

This is techno with no compromise, no filler, no “crowd favorites.” If you’re with it, welcome to the tribe. If not, we don’t give a….

AgainstMe x Red Rooms | Clergy Podcast [5/10]

With a career spanning around 10 years already, Angioma is one of those examples of relentlessness and full dedication to the scene: label owner, event promoter and much more, he started the Room project many years ago in Barcelona but moved to Berlin in 2020, taking the concept to other cities in Europe such as Amsterdam, the German capital and more expected in the coming future. 

On the booth, he has only one objective: to set the dancefloor on fire with his blend of groove and hypnotism with a constant driving touch. Angioma is also a prolific producer with releases on Room Trax, Animal Farm, Made Of Concrete, Mind Medizin, and upcoming releases on industry staples like Soma and AMTK, and also Anaoh. His involvement and maturity despite his young age surely make Angioma an artist to watch.
