For the past fifteen years Argentinian-born, Barcelona-based producer Juan Pablo Pfirter has been pushing a sound by turns steely, dark and uplifting, true to the founding principles of the techno tetramorph but eager to throw his own vanguard, personal touch into the mix.

From the early days onward, whether expressing himself via DJing, producing or as a label owner, Pfirter has worked his magic with focus and style, gracing the likes of CLR, Figure, Mord and Stroboscopic Artefacts with choice singles whilst headlining some of the most respected electronic music bastions and events including Berghain, Tresor, Concrete, Awakenings and Time Warp. Ever since he embarked on his first European tour back in 2005, Juan Pablo has worked tirelessly at shaping one of the most idiosyncratic sounds in contemporary electronic music. It’s a sound which combines the heavy thump of stadium-sized kicks with textured organic relief and hypnotic sub-bass motifs a thousand listens couldn’t diminish.

2006 saw the birth of Pfirter Own imprint, MindTrip, which has become one of the brightest beacons in the ever-changing techno landscape.The label serves as both a vessel for his own output and that of his close friends and collaborators, including luminaries such as Jonas Kopp, Stanislav Tolkachev, Dold, Kashpitzky, Oliver Rosemann and Flug. In parallel, MindTrip has also flourished through its monthly podcast series, welcoming the likes of Antigone, The Lady Machine, TWR72, Nørbak, Jeroen Search and more exciting, singular artists, all invited to present an session of music that captures the spirit and values of MindTrip.

PWCCA - Pulser 3 (Dj set) 29/09/2023

Kostas aka AgainstMe is a Berlin-based Greek DJ, producer, and co-founder of SOCIETY 3000, as well as a core member of USM Recordings. His journey into electronic music began at just 17, when he started releasing music under a different alias, experimenting with a variety of electronic genres. However, it wasn’t until his first rave and techno parties on his home island of Lesvos in 2017 that he found his true musical identity, and AgainstMe was born.

The AgainstMe project draws inspiration from the struggle to align with one's inner voice, a journey Kostas deeply resonates with. Techno, with its hypnotic melodies, heavy drum patterns, and ritualistic energy, provided him with a revolutionary and unifying sound, something that stood in contrast to everything he had experienced before.

Since then, his sound has evolved, and his releases have gained international recognition. Notable works include the EP Tension Seeker on Warok Records, the album Synopsis on Subsist Records, and UNCERTAIN on Immaterial.Archives. His music has received support from influential platforms such as 6AM, Hate, Monument, Electronic Groove, and Beater, as well as from respected artists like DVS1, Umwelt, Sev Dah, Rodhad, Kangding Ray, K-Hand, Mikael Delta, Richie Hawtin, and Marco Bailey.

As a DJ, Kostas has performed at renowned venues and parties, including Tresor, RSO, Fuchs2, Qreclaim, Astron Bar, Six D.O.G.S, and SMUT Athens. His sets, much like his productions, are a hypnotic blend of driving rhythms and atmospheric depth, captivating audiences around the globe.

Looking ahead, Kostas is preparing to release new material on prestigious labels like SOMA Records, 47, Tar Hallow, Malor Records, Renegade Methodz, and Evilgroove Records, ensuring that his future in the techno scene looks exceptionally bright.

Here is the Podcast I made for @refraction_mcr

From @refraction_mcr

Fan of the hip hop culture from an early age, he was lucky to acquire his first turntables so he could play along with his favorite records. While he was searching for new sounds, he discovered a CD called “ Fuse presents Dave Clarke ” and, as he lived just a few minutes from the club, he got curious and listened to it. It was a true slap in his face that marked a turning point in his musical life. As he didn't know much about this kind of techno back then, he started browsing the catalog of different artists, then the different labels, and finally fell in love with this raw & textured sounds : « I’ll never forget the moment I came across « Badger Bite » from Surgeon ! »

Then, after discovering the FUSE, Carmelo slowly but surely fell in love with textures, distortions and raw sounds. After a long period of hesitation, he decided to bring his passion to life, creating tracks that are now released on different labels such as Newrhythmic Records, Solitär, TMM Recordings, Bahn Records, Subsist Records, Postdynamic Records, and many more, … And supported by artists such as Tommy Four Seven, Lewis Fautzi, Zadig, Lakej, Casual Treatment, Adriana Lopez, Dave Clarke to name a few.
His desire to return behind the decks was becoming stronger and stronger. In 2023, it was time for him to get back to his first love and he made podcasts for TMM Recordings, Dwarf Planet Series and shared the decks with Linear System, Eric Fetcher. 2024 is as just as exciting, as after playing in France for the second time and producing several other podcasts (Techno Cartel, Kompressor, …), he made his FUSE debut in May and played for a 2nd time in November !

His latest track is out on Lakej's label, Solitär, alongside Vertical Spectrum, Oliver Rosemann & Tiefton and his next EP will be out in December with a remix by the Polegroup artist Ribé !

Refractiøn podcast 021: Carmelo Ponente

Fernando Sanz aka @orbeartist has been steadfastly dedicated to the craft of beats and breaks since he was a young sprout of 14 years in the sun baked southern Spanish port city of Algeciras. Under the imprint Orbe Records, Sanz has cultivated his own thriving techno community as artist and label head. Since 2014 Orbe Records has been lashing the block rocking techno of Sanz’s comrades Eduardo De La Calle and Steve Stoll, but mostly of Sanz’s own prolific moniker, Orbe. As DJ and producer Orbe keeps the mood surreal and dreamy while deploying understated drum machine patterns to hammer the platonic solids that keep his beloved community in tact.

PARADOX PODCAST #186 -- KASHPITZKY

DJ y productor asturiano nacido en Oviedo. Tanto su sonido como DJ o sus producciones musicales se basan en un profundo respeto al sonido techno, sus influencias no entienden de modas, se apartan de ese camino y son otros los pilares musicales con los que ha formado su propio universo sonoro. 
La suma de todas esas percepciones, se empezaron a plasmar hace un par de años con su debut discográfico, nada mas y nada menos que en el sello Warm Up Recordings de Oscar Mulero, vio la luz su primer disco 'Origen Cero' en el cual nos muestra todo el espectro Techno que tiene interiorizado. La segunda referencia publicada fue para el sello Axis Records de Jeff Mills, “Futuristic Technology” en la que nos muestra sus raíces y sus influencias más dominantes, acercándonos a un viaje sonoro de otro mundo. Estos dos lanzamientos le dan a conocer y hacen que desde entonces haya publicado en sellos tan importantes como Semántica, Molecular Recordings, Edit Select, Illegal Allien, Faut Section, Legend1997 y muchos mas sellos en los que ha podido enseñarnos su visión del techno.

En la parte artística de cabina intenta realizar sets dinámicos, crear atmosferas y llevarnos a paisajes musicales de otros mundos como hace en su residencia en Lanna Club. 

Todo esto hace que nos encontremos con un artista que va marcando su propio camino, sin prisa por llegar, pero sin salirse de él.
