Up next in the series is another member of the talented HAYES crew from Portugal: CRAVO. Due to infectious distinct high tempo groove with dissonant synth sequences, he quickly rose as one of the true pushers of the new wave of groovy techno. This resulted in various releases: TWR72's OOM Records, Fixon's ANAOH and his biggest release to date on the mighty Klockworks together with VIL. The next hour is the definition of the CRAVO sound, so get ready to sweat!

VOLTAGE Podcast 17 - Reka Zalan

Up this week with a choice two-hour guide tour across his post-apocalyptic headspace, Hayes Collective alum Nørbak treats us to a deluge of fractured beats, 909-powered uppercuts and radioactive grooves from the crypt. Hazardous to the fullest, this hectic new set from the Portuguese producer flings us into orbit through an ever impeccable selection and matching jockeying skillset, pulling no punches in his quest to obliterate down to the very last bit of inhibition in you. Resistance is futile, Nørbak is on your heels and he’s up to no good*. *The good kind of no good.

Exium@Tresor DJ Set Part 2/ 18.10.2013

Alberto Tolo DJ and Producer from Padua, has been approaching the world of djing since the early 2000s.
In 2007 he began his parallel career as a producer that led him to sign two EPs for Dubfire label Sci+ Tec. After a long search for a sound that really belonged to him, he landed in the hardgroove scene producing and recording podcasts for some Berlin collectives.
In 2022 ALT was born, his independent label, to propose his idea of techno represented by distorted and rare sounds called ironically by Tolo himself "boring sounds", a true hallmark of his productions.
He continues to follow the activity of producer along with the dj on playing in different clubs and European events always returning with great pleasure to mix for Italian realities.

TAKAAKI ITOH | DREAMING FESTIVAL 2025

Roter Nebel

The closing track resolves the arc with a straightforward, driving pulse. Clean, functional drums and a focused implementation of their past influences, while minimal motifs circle in and out. It’s a track shaped by reduction—no excess, no ornament, just momentum. A return to form with renewed intention.

The Storm Is Over

As FOLD was building its reputation as a new 24 hour London club, behind the scenes a community was growing. A core crowd was emerging, being brought together weekend after weekend, building and solidifying close bonds on the dark sweaty dance floor. Lasha Jorjoliani aka Voicedrone and James Newmarch the venue’s co-creator and technical wiz respectively became the driving force for UNFOLD; a haven made for this fiercely loyal and diverse crowd.
 
UNFOLD places the DJ booth in the middle of the dancefloor, encouraging eye contact and immersion. Fuelled by fiery, energetic techno this format champions a connection and togetherness that at times feels closer to a ritualistic gathering than a rave. As daylight fades the frenzied crowd becomes one, hungry for the infamous b2b sets Voicedrone and James close with. Their high-energy styles compliment each other and produce a uniquely signature sound that is impossible not to move to. 

Surrounded by their community this lethal duo create a powerful and cathartic closing that is truly the spirit of UNFOLD.
