“Kotti Island Disc” is a collaborative concept album which provides a foundation for the overall project “Kotti Island”, a multimedia exhibition at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin in January 2023. In collaboration with ten artists, various conceptual tracks were produced that are inspired by Kottbusser Tor. The multifaceted environment of “Kotti”, as it is locally known, offers an ideal surface upon which to play with and emphasize auditory details that can stimulate the way we imagine what this place means.

This exploration of Kottbusser Tor began with a series of field recordings made by the musician Cecilia Tosh, who is also the artistic director of “Kotti Island”. These field recordings, which create space in between extremes, form the basis of the album. They are collected snapshots, some of which have been sonically 
de-contextualised, while others directly reproduce what was recorded—sometimes interpreting, sometimes documenting. The result is a sample pack composed of ambient recordings (which have been barely edited), edited recordings (which have been re-worked), shorter loops (percussive to melodic elements and basses) and vocalists (newspaper articles, online reports, Wikipedia entries and the artist’s own texts).

The composition of each track was preceded by a meeting with Cecilia Tosh at Kottbusser Tor, where the space was analysed in both auditory and visual terms and the atmosphere was absorbed. Afterwards, each participating artist received an individual sample pack with the field recordings as well as video clips depicting everyday situations at Kottbusser Tor made by Juma Hamdo and Jaś Miszewski. While the sample pack was meant as an inspiration, each artist was also required to use at least one element from it when composing.

“Kotti Island Disc” includes ten musical interpretations that show Kotti as a diverse and lively place. The project is intended as an artistic snapshot of a place in a constant state of flux. It is, furthermore, an invitation to participate in an auditory journey through Kottbusser Tor accompanied by ten very different artists.

Aria Series 49th Episode is now out with a techno lesson from master Jamie Behan (Bastardo Electrico // KilleKill)


One of Irish techno’s most dedicated warriors, Jamie Behan has been an unrelenting figure at the centre of the electronic music in Ireland for over two decades and is widely acknowledged as the godfather of the techno scene in his home city of Cork through his long-running club night and label “Bastardo Electrico”.

Despite being known as an out and out techno heavyweight, Behan’s sound stretches across old school Chicago house, electro, old-school rave & further. 

Undoubtedly a “DJ’s DJ” who has been keeping it real in the international techno community without caving to any bulls*** he has brought his intense but eclectic and funky brand of techno to clubs & festivals such as Tresor, Griessmuehle, Corsica Studios, Meat Free, Dimensions Festival and many others around Europe and beyond in England, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Malta, Switzerland, Jordan, UAE, and Bahrain.

Having released both solo productions and collaborations on Bastardo Electrico, Killekill, Nice & Nasty, & Shelter Records, Behan is stepping up his production game with a debut solo EP forthcoming on Bastardo Electrico and a forthcoming collaborations with fellow Irish DJ & Producer Cailin alongside further colorations with DJ Flush under their “Cork Bangers” alias to be announced soon for Killekill and

SYNAPSECAST017 - INTERMEDIATE AS MONOTROPICAL

Santi Alonso, dj procedente de Zarréu, en el suroccidente asturiano y una de las piezas clave de @endeavourcollective descubrió su amor por la musica electrónica en 2016 y en este último año hemos podido verlo por las cabinas asturianas. 

Con un estilo claramente influenciado por el hip hop pero sin ceñirse a un género musical concreto, sus sesiones son propuestas polivalentes bastante difíciles de encasillar, oscilando entre techno y electro, llegando hasta sonidos más melódicos como el trance.
