We can’t imagine a better way to close out the year than to have one of our heroes and all time favorites on the Spandau20 mixtape series. 
There are few people that have inspired us as much as Surgeon @dynamic-tension, be it with his timeless, forward thinking productions or one of his out of this world live sets that he is so famous for 🎛️
Although it's been a tough year,  moments like this and many others in 2021 make us feel incredibly happy and inspire us to keep on pushing forward ⚡ 
Thanks to everyone (fans, artists, promoters, friends etc.)
who is supporting us on this journey, you are the best, and please enjoy the Surgeon Mix!

SPND20 Mixtape by Surgeon

Come early, stay late – is what we usually recommend, especially when it comes to all-nighters like these. Our 22nd podcast is a recording of the b2b all-nighter of fleika & Wrong Assessment, good pals who reunited in Ankali's booth at Archiv Teknologi in November 2022.  It's a full-night run, captured from the very moment the floor has started filling up, till the last track played, worth experiencing in its whole. So start early, and listen till the end.

Equally comfortable playing peak time club sets or deeper introspective selections, Emily Jeanne has found her own niche sitting at the borders of many sounds and never steering too far in any one direction. Expect cutting edge sounds ranging from more floor focussed techno music to the outer limits of experimental drone/ambient and everything in between.

Recording of CEM b2b DJ Nobu at Draaimolen Festival 2022

CEM b2b DJ Nobu at Draaimolen Festival 2022

"Live improvised hardware connects so directly to the fundamental rawness of electronic music." UK techno lynchpin Surgeon reflects on his connection to machines and making music on the fly.

Surgeon, also known as Anthony Child, has been one of techno's most influential and consistently brilliant artists since the mid-'90s. For the last decade, he has spent most of his creative resources on developing his abilities as a live performer, in his usual techno environment as well as more abstract settings. As Child reinforces in this live Dekmantel Exchange with Aaron Coultate, his live performance practice is at the heart of his creativity. "There was literally one day I woke up and realized that having the computer—DJing, as it were—was getting in the way of taking this form of performing further," he says. "That was determining the structure of what I was doing. And to be truly freeform and improvisational I had to be free of this imposed structure."

This archived conversation comes on the heels of Surgeon's most recent LP, Crash Recoil, which RA music critic Kiana Mickles hailed as "one of his best albums ever." To get an inside look into this risk taking artist's production process and approach to dance floor composition, listen to the episode in full.

Locked Groove Transmission #07: FRDM

Spencer @ Locked Groove (May 2023)

Back with the newest podcast for June and this time, it's a special b2b from RNR's founder, DAIYAH and longtime Berghain resident, Fiedel.

Enjoy this set recorded back at NY's Holo in early 2023. Major thanks to the venue for letting us come by to use the space and mix on its incredible sound system.

Bios Below...

Fiedel:
Contrast. Objection. Antithesis. This is how you might start an attempt to describe the world. A seemingly chaos of shapes and thoughts that don’t belong to each other. An overall image to be found in life and in music. But that’s not Fiedel’s view of the world. Where others make distinctions, he sees connections, where others find emptiness, he finds rooms full of opportunities.

Finding those harmonies, connections and contexts marks out his musical work. The synthesis of apparently opposing music, the interaction and the mix of styles and moods, without loosing the storyline, that makes out the characteristic Fiedel sound.

After the wall came down, the way was open to access a fresh scene, and with it came a whole spectrum of new and old music to discover. In the beginning of the 1990s, he started DJing in public as a regular at the Monday events at Subversiv. Shortly after he began his collaboration with his befriended Errorsmith under the name of MMM. They released several productions and play live shows. Since 2000 he is resident at OstGut and later on at Berghain. ...

You can say one thing about Fiedel: he is no techno or house stereotype pattern, that you can put randomly on a every evening or club. He is lead by his history, the history of the music and the feeling of the moment to build something new and to capture this very moment. Let it be the straight dark techno of today, banging acid of the 80ies or an electro funk record, Fiedel surprises. He undermines and overrides expectations and refrains to limit the music for any reason. He lets the music speak for itself, through himself.

DAIYAH:

DAIYAH, founder of RNR (Rumble N the Ramble) is a dynamic force in the New York techno scene and beyond. Her sets, often described as unexpected, unhinged, and wild, draw inspiration from the harder industrial sounds while blending that with the unbridled genre, experimental. DAIYAH has brought her heavy and fresh sound across multiple cities in North America and Europe. Her party, RNR since its inception has hosted some highly coveted talent and is known for its stellar lineups that provide a consistent vibe all night long.

Her roots started in house music back in 2017 when she achieved two residencies in New York City playing as a duo. In 2019, DAIYAH went solo and took with her an unwavering and growing passion for techno music. Having played all od the major parties and venues in New York while going back and forth to Europe in between, she is known in the community for her captivating sets that roar out to the audience immersing them in space where chaos of the best kind can thrive.
DAIYAH has a knack for creating stories that generate seamless impact and facilitate an unparalleled atmosphere. Through her meticulously curated selections, she illustrates dedication for her craft. Her goal is to search through the most sensual and deepest bowels of the sound to make a space that immerses you in the moment.

Whether its one of her multifaceted sets or her multi-sensory events, you’re in for a journey where sound is celebrated in a way that encourages freedom of expression. DAIYAH is a kindred spirit to the underground and thrives on feeding off the intimacy created with her crowds.


You can catch both Fiedel and DAIYAH this weekend at Basement. DAIYAH will be playing on the 23rd and Fiedel will be playing on the 24th for BOUND’s annual pride party. 

Enjoy!
