For this month’s DETECT, we are delighted to welcome Gloria Rose (@grmck). 

Gloria Rose. A name as unassuming as the humble stature that makes up the person. But take care - a leopard’s prey rarely knows it’s the target before it’s being stripped apart. 

For the artist has been steadily turning into a tour-de-force both here in London and increasingly on the continent too. Sultry techno & alluring grooves lure those in their midst into a false sense of security, before she pounces, snaring her target with a level of drive & prowess that instantly commands the dance floor. At that point all you can do is enjoy the ride, powerless, at her mercy, the only destination is her own. 

Consider yourself warned if you choose to blink. 

Gloria Rose has recorded an exclusive mix for our DETECT series, which is available to listen to now.

The 170th guest of KHIDI’s podcast series is VSK. Since his earliest youth, he has had a deep passion for electronic music. After being introduced to the world of DJing at the age of 16, he became familiar with various forms of techno. His style ranges from a sound that is often tough and dark, with strong industrial influences, to a deeper and more mental approach—both still easily recognizable as coming from the same creative mind

Episode 34 of Structure Series Invites we have - Pratiek.

Originally from Mumbai, Pratiek is a DJ and producer whose journey started in his hometown’s rave circuit but took a deeper turn through London’s underground scene — where he found his sound rooted in stripped-back, percussive techno.

With two EPs out on UK label Ecstasy State and a contribution to a VA on Italy’s Rubrika, he’s been steadily carving his path — blending cultural depth with raw, hypnotic grooves.

His sets balance steady rhythm with subtle tension, always focused on flow, space, and energy. Whether in a dark room or open-air setting, Pratiek delivers with intention — no filler, just pure movement.

Alongside producing and playing, he’s also been active behind the scenes as an event organiser — previously part of the team at GrooveOn London, curating intimate underground nights across the city.

As always, show your love and support to the artist involved.

Mosai @ UNFOLD 104

At the peak of our longest event to date on Saturday, January 18th 2025, a NYC-based selector stepped into the booth at Masada to tell a story: a journey of tension and release, brimming with emotion and passion, a romance that lingered in our memories long after. We are beyond thrilled to mark the 100th instalment of CLOSERcast with none other than Holden Federico’s live recording of his 3-hour Masada set, to immerse ourselves into that beautiful, graceful and moving experience once more.

Philly-born, New York-based producer and DJ Holden Federico is dedicated to reimagining techno by pushing its core elements to bold new extremes. His productions carry a driving low-end energy, rich thematic layers, and dub-infused detailing, all underpinned by grit and soul. As a DJ, he weaves together diverse textures, thoughtful pacing, and a deep respect for techno’s roots, shaping a modern dancefloor experience that balances the physical with the emotional.

OPH is a French-born DJ and producer based in Berlin, recognized for his dedication to vinyl and his deep connection to the city’s techno culture. His journey began in Lyon, where he was active as a music journalist and ran a webzine focused on the local scene.
