Locked and loaded, here comes the next salvo in RYC’s line of action. Going by the name “Heimat” - the German word for “homeland”, this eighteenth number in our catalogue breaks in a new series that will set the focus on exciting new names with a vision. Zeitgeisty by nature, the approach chosen for these VAs is to document state-of-the-art productions from lesser known and emerging figures, whose skills and talent we firmly believe in. An extension of our creed that techno is there to push boundaries and not reiterate the same bland assertions over and over, ad nauseam, “Heimat” shall form a shelter for top-of-the-range material and that exclusively, regardless of the producer’s fame, level of fashionability and/or market-friendliness.

Summoned on that debut platter are names you may have heard through our channels already, and some you haven’t. Drawing first blood, Brazilian talent Marcal gets the wrecking-ball swinging at fierce rate. Engineering an inch-perfect balance between Amazonian suavity and cutting-edge industrialism, the Goiânia-based whiz treats us to a mind-altering maelstrom of rainforest techno, leaving no room for improvisation whether on the rhythmic side or in terms of sound design. An absolute crusher. Another Brazilian completes the A-side, in the person of Nicolas Vogler. His track “Lost in Paradiso” is everything a mental techno pumper should be: nose-diving drum assaults, pools of lavish textures to sink your brain within, spiralling synth motifs. Epic, truly.

Mysterious on-the-rise producer Hurdslenk takes over the flip with a mammoth of a fast-paced churner, designed at nothing but sweeping legs by the dozen. True to the early 00s hi-NRG strain of techno, Hurdslenk fractures his way into the system with a proper bomb of a tune, hovering the cursor halfway Birmingham-style sonic aggression and made in Rotterdam warehouse-obliteration. Final word goes to mould.audio’s Ruben Ganev, an artist who knows all too well how to fly you off to the zone with a mere kick and surgically processed machine hoodoo with a purpose. Laser-precise and full-bodied, “Scattered” is the paragon of a masterful hypnotic ride, steering us smack-dab the middle of a weirdly claustrophobic dream with the right amount of daze-inducing envelopes and fuel-efficient percussive power.

“Heimat” comes pressed to a 100% orange transparent vinyl, and clad in a pristine, matt varnished package to please your eyes and ears in equal measure.

Highly driven by the brutal energy of the ‘90s techno movement, Louis The 4th is constantly associate to the term « club culture activist » which is a focal point of his artistic project. « Who cares about what I look like under my covered face ? » as he used to answer when someone asked why he hides him. This is his way to make room for music rather than his image as people
like Underground Resistance did decades ago.

He has gained the « interesting and emerging artist » status thanks to his releases on some well-known labels as Planet Rhythm or TAR Hallow. His effective, deep and driving way of creating sounds managed to establish itself among the techno fauna and his work is regularly played here and there, from Berghain to KHIDI via the Tresor.

As a vinyl-only DJ, Louis The 4th built an important passion for digging to be able to present
surprising and qualitative selectas. His fast and chirurgical mixing skills give an extra energy to
his sets which he loves to compare to an « experience » more than just casual club sets.

His passion for digging is also found through his label ‘Intra Records’ which is for him, another
way of understanding the scene and of expressing himself. Created and launched two years ago,Intra Records can count now on several successful releases with respected artists as RUIZ
OSC1, Ketch, Marsch, Müzmin or Justine Perry to name a few.

Set the Mood with ZAZU!

What would ZAZU play if she were to open a party? Over the next hour, she reveals exactly how her ideal opening set would sound. She begins with a stunning, half-ambient track featuring a mysterious voice—an ideal way to set the tone. From there, she shows that hypnotic, dark tracks can firmly establish the mood, keeping the energy steady enough to warm up the crowd without losing momentum. This is how a great opening set should be.

ZAZU, an Amsterdam-based DJ, is renowned for her deep, hypnotic sound that fuses atmospheric and minimalist techno with experimental layers. Her sets take listeners on a journey through evolving soundscapes, driven by rich, groovy basslines. With smooth transitions, ZAZU steadily builds energy, drawing the crowd deeper into her unique vibe. Each performance becomes a personal experience, turning the space into an engaging and immersive atmosphere.

In her vision of a perfect opening set, ZAZU starts with deep, mellow tracks that immediately pull the audience in, setting the mood for what’s to come. As the set progresses, she introduces hypnotic tracks that gradually build energy, drawing everyone further into the rhythm until the crowd is fully dancing and lost in the music. Throughout the set, she keeps the energy balanced, and as it nears the end, she slows things down with an ambient track—signaling that the musical journey is concluding. For ZAZU, this is the essence of a perfect opening set: a seamless flow of music that transports the listener, creating a sense of derealization where time and space melt away into sound.
