English:
Ancient Methods was born from the union of Conrad Protzmann and Michael Wollenhaupt, two Germans dedicated to produce techno without any kind of complexes who also sign their solo works as Baeks and Trias. Eventually, and after the departure of Wollenhaupt, Protzmann decides to stay with the solo project.

His career, based on the release of several EPs, most of them on his own label of the same name, begins to atomize with collaborations on other publishing platforms such as Sonic Groove, RSB, Fondation Sonore, aufnahme + wiedergabe or Hands Productions.

KOMPRESSOR w/ Carmelo Ponente @ GIMIC - 30 November 2024

Taking the helm of our next podcast iteration, Madrid-based DJ and producer Psyk jumps in with a beast of a two-hour jaunt into frantic techno hyperspace. Having dished out some highly magnetic floor wares for the likes of Tresor, Mote Evolver or Modularz and his own imprint, Non Series, Psyk sure knows how to steer crowds into some sort of super-conscious euphoria. Expert provider of big-room ready dynamics and paranoid narratives, Psyk flings us into orbit with his impeccably laid-down assembly of industrial-minded rhythms and murky, oomph-loaded grooves hatching out of the dark like alien eggs from a drifting Nostromo.

Ancient Methods b2b Phase Fatale @ 3 YEARS of PAX-ROMANA | 2024.06.30

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Dutch Techno scene : SANDRIEN.

Amsterdam’s Sandrien is known for her versatile take on techno. From deep and atmospheric to high-energy breaks and acid; her dynamic track selection has made her a dance floor favourite in her hometown and beyond. With over twenty years in the game, there are hardly any iconic clubs and festivals Sandrien has not played. She has graced the stages of Lowlands Festival, Awakenings, Dekmantel and Draaimolen in The Netherlands, Norway’s Monument, Rainbow Disco Club in Japan and the club booths of Berlin’s Berghain, Bassiani in Tbilisi, Basement NY, Tunnel Pereira and Womb in Tokyo.

In Amsterdam, she used to be a resident of De School and its predecessor Trouw. The latter was home to Sandrien’s own techno club nights ‘Imprint’, through which she hosted a variety of national and international artists including Ben Sims, DVS1, Marcel Dettman, Oscar Mulero, Peter van Hoesen and Rødhåd. In addition, she was one of the founders of the city’s long-running LGBTQIA+ event series IsBurning.

For years, Sandrien spent her weekdays working in Amsterdam’s renowned record stores Rush Hour and Killacutz. This speaks to the imagination of her incredible record collection and musical knowledge. Her extensive library is precisely why she’s a champion of playing longer DJ sets, during which she always manages to build a solid bridge between old-school techno, and adventurous fresh sounds. Sandrien’s experience and ability to adapt to any setting also shows in her love for playing back-to-back with other artists, including DJ Nobu, Ben Sims and Philippa Pacho.

Occasionally, she likes to give the more house-leaning part of her collection a spin; high energy and acidic basslines woven together by the same solid groove her techno sets are known for.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #181 -- SANDRIEN

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to welcome DJ & Gare Porto Boss : AMULADOR

Amulador is a moving entity. Always circumspect, he activates the mechanism and dives into the unknown. Away from the hype and from the enlightened figure that is associated to DJs, he rather focus the spotlight into the columns, delivering risky and nonconformist music, capturing the most abstract and pulsating edges of today's electronic music. He combines high-speed trips with different perspectives, that can be melodic and subtle or rhythmic and scathing. Deviant walks through peculiar landscapes are marked with mirages of expectation, opening doors to cinematic fantasy. Amulador makes his name through the quiet shadows, initiating a musical continuum without precedent.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #190 -- AMULADOR

Taking over the RYC waves this week, Tokyo’s finest Mari Sakurai punches in with a helluva 2-hour treat by way of introduction. Working her way in the gap betwixt post-industrial opacity and heavy-duty brutalism, Mari has been slowly but surely making a name for herself with uncompromising sets spanning everything from cool-handed big room pound to mazy abstraction and other bursts of mind-altering sonics from way deep. Known for cutting a path of destruction with every of her mixes, her RYC offering doesn’t depart from such intentions, and we’re invited to a smorgasbord of claustrophobic hi-tech onslaughts and a string of purely exhilarating, apex-seeking momentums. Hi-voltage shockwave due for impact imminently.

About Vertical Spectrum:

VS is the latest project of a Polish producer from Silesia, whose stage activity began in 2000. Over time, his musical variations and constant passion, which he showed under various
alter egos, also playing live acts, led to the creation of Vertical Spectrum, under which name the first official EP was released in 2015. After several subsequent releases, he received an offer to record the first vinyl for the German Nachtstrom Schallplatten, associating the top names of the techno scene, and for which he has so far released 5 vinyls, including 1 album. The result was collaboration with many legendary names, culminating in remixes of techno aces such as Alexander Kowalski, Patrik Skoog, Abstract Division, Developer and Samuli Kemppi, as well as proposals for further productions for prestigious labels - Dynamic Reflection, Tsunami Records, owned by the Spanish legend Christian Wunsch, or Granulard Records, under the banner of 1/2 of the Exium duo. As a result, in 2018 he received proposals to work with Pole Group, under the leadership of Oscar Mulero himself.

2021 is another milestone in his career, which resulted in releases for the world's leading techno labels, such as:

- Warm Up (Oscar Mulero)
- Semantica (Svreca)
- Mord (Bas Mooy)
- Faut Section (Lewis Fautzi)
- Edit Select (Edit Select)

2025 began with a newly released album for Mord Records and more releases for the above-mentioned labels are on the way, in the summer another LP will be released in the form of a triple vinyl on Nachtstrom Schallplatten and a long-awaited album for the undisputed pioneer of world techno, about which soon

Smoke Machine Podcast 085 Ancient Methods

<< For event or podcast bookings please send me a DM. I mix Techno because I love the sound, and I certainly would share that with anyone interested. I've been doing this for 33 years now simply so that I could always be as hands-on with the Techno I love, experiment with it, and enjoy it in as many ways as possible. >>


♫ ♫ ♫ ♫


Techno, Art, and Technology. 


I've been involved in Techno since early 1993, and spent a lot of time between 92' and 01' driving from Boston to NYC (and back) chasing a specific sound, and as it turned out was able to be a part of some pretty memorable Techno events. Many warehouse parties hosted by Sonic Groove, Mental Unity / Electronik Underground, and others throughout those decades. 


After 2001 the Techno scene pretty much collapsed for a few years in NYC, due to issues related to the Sept 11th attacks, such as artists having issues obtaining a US visas, the world economy, pointless wars, and a collectively paranoid government. Boston (my home) never really had a well established Techno scene before 2012 or so. 


My first, honest introduction to underground Techno began in 1993, Manchester N.H. Thanks to N.E.A.U. ("New England Acid Underground", circa 1993-95) which then became N.E.W. ("New England Works", circa 1995-2001) which focused on pure, underground Techno sound & experience by hosting many epic, outlaw warehouse parties, and formed a solid base for a diverse group of people, from various backgrounds, many of which I had grown close to in those years. 


This collectively represented what I felt was my "home base" at the time, fulfilling my strict preferences within electronic music, and of course the quality of the people, & the Techno experience. A good link with the Sonic Groove crew down in NYC between 1993 and 2000 had been forged through great events rooted in a "music & human experience first" approach and purpose. I learned a lot about music, DJing & the beauty of pure Techno's hands-on approach, adaptability, & re-usablity. 


Pure Techno is a powerful, "language agnostic" form of communication and connection via a shared emotional journey that's tethered to the art of sound. Without any single person needing to say a word, a true collective experience is often realized. 


I'll never forget that early Manchester, NH scene, or all of the people involved that helped to establish it each in their own way, nor will I forget all of the amazing people in New York City who welcomed us, shared with us some unbelievable sounds, hosted some of the most memorable events, and hosted such a dizzying array of talented artists from around the globe. 


I'm still plugged into Techno today, of course, & it's health is better than ever. But established collectives are harder to come by in Boston, & many from NYC have moved on to Europe where they can make a living and thrive in it's long-established Techno scenes. 


Thankfully one of the most active and Techno focused groups has been doing great things in the Boston area over the last six or seven years or so (INFRA Boston), and doing more than I can recall being done in the last 30 years for sure. It is good to know that after so many decades, Techno is still breaking new ground in places like Boston.


I've been quite active in releasing recorded sets of my own, of online live-streams, home mixes, mixes inspired by friends, by shared experiences over three-plus decades. 


I started DJing thirty two years ago because I feel in love with pure Techno. That motivation is as strong toda. y
