“Sometimes I catch myself wishing for a life that isn’t mine—drawn into the dreams and stories of others, forgetting they carry their own struggles too. ‘Nostalgia di un futuro mai avuto’ is my way of stepping back. It reminds me that we all carry memories—some beautiful, some painful. We can’t relive or rewrite them, but there’s peace in knowing we’ve lived them at all.”


EP Title: Nostalgia di un futuro mai avuto 
Artist: Human Trax
Label: Solenoid Records
Genre: House
Release Date: 25th of July

MOTZ Premiere: Human Trax - Nostalgia di un futuro mai avuto [Solenoid Records]

DJ Fresh formerly known as Erta Ale  joining our Mixed Feelings series with a tied up set list. 
Expect nothing but Freshness ! 
Somewhere between cinematic breaks, 90‘ Rave euphoria and stabbin’ Acid House.
The DJ, producer, live performer and founder of Solenoid Records been pushing electronics ever since.
Don’t hesitate on checking out his label for likeminded productions.

DJ Fresh : 
This mix represents the consolidation of a new stylistic phase for me as a DJ, marking a return to a more house-oriented sound while integrating and emphasizing the influence that 90s music has had on my musical language over the past five years.

Not Operated is a Berlin-based techno artist and veteran of the international scene, active since 2007. 

A classically trained musician and hardware-only producer, he has released music under various aliases on his own labels Solenoid Records and S-Limited, as well as on respected imprints including Twirl, Exploited, The Hindie Corporation (Bogotá) and Bullfinch.

His sound has taken him to renowned venues such as About Blank, OXI, Sysiphos and Renate in Berlin, AND Club and Modular in South Africa, Radion and Church in Amsterdam, and Micro in Sofia, among others. 

He has also appeared frequently on influential radio platforms like HÖR, Red Light Radio, and Rinse FM.
