We're thrilled to invite @annemusicofficial for our podcast series, an artist that's firmly involved in the revival of the hardgroove sound thanks to her razor-sharp mixing and tight productions. With a handful of releases on iconic labels like Soma, Symbolism, Hardgroove, Mutual Rytm and Out Of Place, the Greek artist is undoubtedly one of the most promising producers to emerge in recent years. Well, this podcast is a testament of all that as she cooks up a one hour selection of mostly unreleased tracks, all produced by herself. It's a hard-hitting marathon that brings us back to the 90's, combining raw techno with relentless grooves and subtle seductive Detroit influences.

Live recording of Axel Karakasis' performance from the mésalliance x proper rave event at STK 47 - Warehouse in Krakow (PL) on April 27, 2024.

Axel Karakasis is the most recognizable Greek name in the Techno scene. His career is marked by several classic themes and a series of appearances that have established him as an international DJ. 

The rise to his present status did not happen overnight, but goes back to the 80s and the 90s, when Techno made its first appearance. Fascinated by this new wave, Axel’s courtship with electronic music saw a very different light… 

By the late 90s, he was already known through various DJ residencies in Athens, as well as through his regular events with his team “Bubbles” –to be remembered to this date by many! This was when the techno wiz-kid earned his place among the top Greek DJs and appeared in numerous events in the biggest clubs of the Greek capital! He soon became the most wanted Greek Techno DJ, playing regularly in the biggest venues in Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Crete and all over his native Greece. 

Being a restless spirit led Axel to new avenues in music production. He always wanted to play unique music in his sets. That’s what drove him to get into the studio and begin his own productions. In 2000, he had his first release on Pornographic Recordings and this was only the beginning, as a string of classic releases followed in the likes of Intec Records, MB Elektronics, Primate, etc. to establish himself in a genre he referred to as “Groovy Techno”! With his very own mark on discography, Axel’s international career took off. Confirming his status as the most sought after Greek Techno DJ of his time, Axel headlines events in some of the best clubs in the world, such as the Rex Club (Paris), Womb (Tokyo), Turnmills (London), tours regularly countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Korea, Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Holland and Malta, to name a few, and has appeared in top festivals like Awakenings (Netherlands) Rabac Festival (Croatia), Apokalypsa (Czech Republic), etc.: he keeps exciting crowds all over the world!

At present, Axel releases his music in top record labels, like Kombination Research, Planet Rhythm, Tronic and others, whereas his tracks have featured in well known compilations and mix CDs, such as Extreme Euphoria (Ministry of Sound), Cream Ibiza, I Love Techno, and many many more. However, his work wouldn’t be complete without his own imprint! In his first venture, he was the co-founder of Omega Audio Recordings, which received rave reviews and support by top DJs world-wide, as well as being a platform for new talents to see the spotlight. In September 2007, Axel decided to channel all his energy into his very own brainchild, Remain Records, which is gradually transforming into a brand encompassing both vinyl (Remain Records) and digital (Remain Records and Remain Limited) releases by Axel, The Advent & Industrialyzer, Marco Bailey, Cristian Varela, Alexander Kowalski, A.Paul as well as newer talent. 

Axel’s strong reputation is based on his consistency towards the genre that established him. Always faithful to techno, Axel Karakasis delivers all-fresh, brand-new sounds that evolve. Having earned strong support by clubbers and his peers worldwide, Axel keeps challenging the clubland with his releases and his full of energy DJ sets.

Dive deep into @SymmetricSpace Mixtape 004 by @florian-meindl

SYMMETRIC SPACE//MIXTAPE #004// FLORIAN MEINDL

"A Techno set by Stigmata is characterized by a raw, industrial, and hypnotic atmosphere. Known for its driving, dark, and minimalist sound, Stigmata blends classic elements of early German Techno with modern influences. The sets often feature powerful, repetitive beats, dark synthesizer tones, and an intense energy that can transport listeners into a trance-like state. Stigmata’s sets are especially suited for underground clubs or festivals that focus on uncompromising, purist Techno".

Stigmata started his career as a producer in the early 80s, influenced by bands like Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, and artist Isao Tomita. Using his first audio tools, an Atari 1040ST, he began experimenting with tracks and met musicians like Toni Rios, Marco Cannata, and Tommy Bingel. His early releases were on labels like Harthouse and Eye-Q. In 1994, he met Chris Liebing, and from that point on, André influenced every Liebing release. Together, they launched SOAP Records, with André using pseudonyms like "Noosa Heads" and "E.H.R."
Besides his work with Liebing, André collaborated with artists like Monika Kruse, Moguai, and Gayle San. In 1998, they intensified their partnership, leading to the creation of the AUDIO, CLR, and CLAU labels. André’s passion for horror films and mysticism shaped the STIGMATA project, which played a key role in modern techno’s evolution.
In 2001, André won the "Best Producer Award" at the German Dance Awards. In 2018, he returned with a new techno album under the Stigmata alias, and in 2022 and 2024, he released music on various labels e.g. Flash Recordings, Adroit & IMF.
