Portal Episode 53 by Markus Suckut

Ron Albrecht joins for DifferentSound Podcast #242.

Ron Albrecht began his musical career in the early nineties. His first trips to Berlin clubs like "Tresor", "Bunker" and "E-Werk" made him switch from being a regular music consumer to discovering the field of performing and DJ-ing. Obligatory visits of Germany’s possibly most popular record shops back then, such as the "Hardwax" in Berlin and "Container Records" in Hamburg, led Ron Albrecht to finding his very own style. Inspired by national and international scene experts like Tanith, Rok, Kid Paul and Jeff Mills, just to name a few, it was time to come out into the open for the first time in 1993. Over the years he played his music in almost every club in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, but he didn't stop there. Performances at music festivals such as the Fusion (2000, 2006, 2013), SMS (2005, 2006) and Melt (2000) as well as appearances in many well known clubs, e.g. Tresor Berlin, Ultraschall Munich, Phonodrome and Waagenbau Hamburg, Muna Bad Klosterlausnitz and most recently Berghain Berlin, maintain his musical career. While his sets of modern sounds always make for variety, it is important to artist to always enrich his music by refering to the origins of techno and house. Between 1997 and 2002 Ron Albrecht additionally worked as a producer together with his associate Thomas Kuffner, releasing several records under the labels "Sind Records" and "ElektronikParlament". He also worked as co-operator of the "EasytraxxRecordstores" in Schwerin from 1995 to 2006. Above all, his name is still closely connected to the old-established GERBEREI club in Schwerin, which the co-founder, organizer and resident ran from 1994 until its closing in 2013. "Brothers in Mind", a DJ and producer collaboration, is another one of Ron Albrechts projects which he puts into practice together with his longtime friend Stefan Rein. Their newest musical output can be found under their label PURE - "Tatort"

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Berlin Techno scene : INLAND (Counterchange Recordings/Figure).

Known for his explorative techno and ambient productions, he’s released numerous EPs on his home label Counterchange, appeared on Ostgut Ton, Figure, Infrastructure, and released his debut LP on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON.

Working closely alongside US artist Function between 2014 and 2017, the pair released the comeback record for Function's Infrastructure label, with their now-legendary 'Odeon / Rhyl' EP and went on to compile the heavyweight 'Facticity' compilation, also teaming up on the soaring 'Colwyn Bay' in 2016. 

In 2020 Inland presented a 4 x 12'' box-set compilation and DJ mix entitled 'Stream State', featuring music from contemporaries like Efdemin, Peter Van Hoesen, Joel Mull, DJ Skull, Mark Broom and many more. This was closely followed by the full-length LP, 'Potential Current' (COUTER016), and 2 acclaimed EPs of up-temp, peak-time tracks in 2022, 'Namsan' and the BRETT offshoot label (BRETT001), igniting some of Davenport's most frenetic work to date.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

TW PODCAST 084 - Squaric

My next guest on Yax Invites is In Amber Clad.

In Amber Clad is the newfound project of Manchester-based DJ/producer Leon, exploring a deep, emotive strain of electronic music shaped by texture, tension, and abstraction. With hypnotic rhythms and experimental undertones, the project strikes a balance between club functionality and introspective listening, designed to provoke feeling as much as movement. Still in its early stages but already sitting on a bank of unreleased work, In Amber Clad marks the beginning of a focused exploration into sound as both emotional outlet and immersive experience.

"This mix ventures into music by some of my current favourite artists combined with some all time favourite tracks. With layers of driven, texture, and tension-led sounds, this is a pretty solid reflection of the sound I love to push within a DJ'ing context - full credit to these amazing producers for their work".
