A word from Jessie Granqvist : 

Our own musical universe
We travelled on the silk road 
Life was an experiment
We went to space hand in hand
Floating on waves of music 
Side by side
The holes went deep
We found ourselves in weird, evil places
You always turned the darkness into comedy or beauty
We played music for the zombies
We danced with the devils
We turned them into friends
Never went to sleep
Forever young
Just a boy but like a professor, a mad professor
Just a boy but already a legend
A musical genius and a dear friend
I meet you in music all the time
But I still miss you
This is the sound of our time

Plasma Disco was the alias my friend Alfred (aka Timpleton) and I used when we played and made music together. We got the name from one of our favorite tracks, Samuli Kemppi – Plasma Disco. This mix includes some of our demos as Plasma Disco, as well as unreleased music from Alfred’s unreleased album - Geology That I found on a lost hard drive as well as music we played during our era and tracks that I found later on that I want to play for Alfred.

Brace yourselves for a breakneck ride this month as our longtime friends and distributor Clone hijack RYC frequencies with a massive takeover for the whole month of October. Breaking this four-part installment in, Amsterdam’s Afra cuts in with two-hours of old-school Detroit electro vibrations, hi-velocity breaks and future-facing floor narratives beckoning us onto a whole distinct dimension entirely. All in finessed vortical dynamics and rapid-fire bass deluge, the Dutch DJ pulls out an absolute charge of a chiseled and finely-curated mix, locked-and-loaded on having ravers lose their mind to this effervescing fusion of frantic sci-fi-like atmosphere and proper nuclear propulsion. Buckle your belt.

Ben Sims Presents: Run It Red 021125

Championing a sound both entrancingly serene and deep-diving, Blazej Malinowski joins us for a two-hour journey across dubbed-out psychedelic folds and straightforward cinematic crescendos he holds the secret to. Through a string of hypnotic releases for the likes of Semantica, The Gods Planet, Kvalia and his own imprint, Inner Tension, the Polish DJ and producer has been minting a sound signature both impeccably fuel-efficient and immersive to the full. Seeking the meditative thrill of sensory entanglement through contrasting dynamic forces and melodic chiaroscuros, Malinowski treats us to a rivetingly evocative outpour of shape-shifting techno epics and sunken, reverb-drenched atmospherics spiraling in and out of focus. Expect a deluge of mazy, claustrophobic 4x4 corridors and further unhindered panoramas of layered, swelling synthesis. Wild.

Sunday Session 1 - YAX

@mamasnake has long been an artist we hold in the highest regard, and we throughly awaited a moment worthy of her presence in Prague. That moment arrived during our October gathering at Ankali alongside Transmissions crew. 

Taking over the main room after a live performance, Mama Snake delivered an electrifying journey through high-energy techno and razor-sharp trance that sent the entire dance-floor, including us, completely over the edge. A masterclass in control and selection from the first track, proving who’s the queen of the dance floor.

Spirit Taker Mix

The first edition of Soundit festival combined thriving local talent with international heavyweights. Happy to release some of the recordings from those days alongside the Refuge Worldwide family.

If you want to trace the beginnings of DJ Pete's status in Techno culture, you have to go back a very long way. He emerged as a DJ in the pioneering days of the Berlin scene during the late 80s and joined Hard Wax in 1991, which now makes him the longest serving staff member of the legendary record store. As a producer he made his name with the first release on Chain Reaction in 1995, a sub-label of the Basic Channel imprint, together with René Löwe aka Vainqueur as Scion. Scion also released the first commercially available CD ever produced with the then newly developed software Ableton Live in 2002 and later continued their collaboration as Substance & Vainqueur on the label Scion Versions. Substance, the acclaimed alias DJ Pete uses for his own productions has a back catalogue of highly influential solo efforts and an impressive string of acclaimed remixes for pivotal Techno artists like Juan Atkins, Regis, Kessell, Orphx, Robert Hood, Rhythm & Sound, Monolake or Shed, among many others. DJ Pete earned similar respect behind the decks, combining highly individual yet refined mixing skills with both his vast encyclopedic knowledge of Techno history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds that carry the potential to push all boundaries. Beyond that his energetic sets also incorporate elements of pure Techno, the Hard Wax tradition and powerful House tracks. His seemingly unlimited scope is informed by frequent Dynamic Tension nights at Tresor in the late 90s with Surgeon and his residency at Berghain since its opening, as well as countless successful gigs at the most crucial nights of the scene's international circuit. He is also known to merge Techno with Dubstep and selecting Reggae, particularly while working the mighty Killasan sound system as core DJ member of the seminal Wax Treatment events. DJ Pete's lauded signature style also benefits from his numerous experiences as part of the cherished live acts TR-101 (an improvisational live act in collaboration with Sleeparchive), Scion (either with or without vocalist Paul St. Hilaire), and gigs with many other likeminded DJ innovators. A typical DJ Pete performance is always delivering an array of programming, sequencing, layering and live effects that goes well beyond a mere presentation of tracks. True to Techno's original claim, innovations in sound and technology are intuitively employed to achieve a floor sensation that manages to involve the crowd on as many levels as possible.

Slam - Static Form EP 
[@SOMA 507D] 

Slam open the new year on a high after a hugely successful 2017, one that has taken them around the world showcasing the sound of Soma. The new EP, Static Form, continues the duo’s foray into tougher club sounds yet retains the depth and precision that they are known for. 

Opener Solace is a hypnotic journey, set to the backdrop of subtle, ominous pads and a jacking drum track. Fractions & Static Form continue the tripped out vibe of the EP but set their sights firmly at more peak time orientated sounds. Closing out with Disconnect, Slam unleash huge swelling synth hooks and sub heavy drums to power this monster.
