Felix Felix Benedikt, alias Alpha Tracks, is a producer based in Vienna, Austria. At the beginning of the millennium, he received his basic musical education under the wings of Erdem Tunakan at Cheap Records and started DJing. From 2012 till 2018 Benedikt worked at TONGUES, a Viennese record store with an in-house studio, where
2016 the project Alpha Tracks was born. The first release on Erdem Tunakan's reactivated
label Morbid has had a strong international resonance.

The music of Alpha Tracks is mainly produced live on analog machines, often with different guest musicians, focussing less on technical fetishism than on live dynamics of studio collaborations. The result is a sound that refers to the rave era of the early nineties. Alpha Tracks blithely ignores tempo limits or taste doctrines. Aesthetic taboos or even fragments of often maligned genres, are not picked up as a retro fetish but are folded into the contemporary oeuvre with playful
Viennese charm.

SYNOID BROADCAST 005 // ALPHA TRACKS

Since its emergence the project the has been often labelled as „pitch black techno war funk“ (quoted after an early Boomkat review) and closely associated to what later on would be tagged as the „industrial techno“ – movement. This is possibly due to the radical machine aesthetics Ancient Methods has developed into an unmistakable trademark sound, since more than a decade. However the mechanical framework is – no more, no less – a physical ambassador for a deeper content, there is a profound human emotionality enclosed in the rhythmic shell.

SYNOID BROADCAST 007 // ANCIENT METHODS

Vendex is a dj and producer born in Barcelona. He began to mix at the age of 14 to 15 years and began to produce in 2016 various genres and subgenres of electronic music. He is now focused on techno, specifically in the Dark, Industrial, Acid and Hard Techno.
During the summers he grew up in Ibiza, since he has family on the island, thanks to this he had at his disposal many artists and genres with different influences.

Today he has found his way, the path of Techno, with a philosophy that envelops him in a cloak of darkness.
Influenced by the literature of Dante Alighieri in his work the Divine Comedy, as well as everything related to alchemy, Vendex comes with the intention of creating a path to an inner journey wrapped in dark melodies, blunt and sharp bass that defy the natural , reaching supernatural sounds that touch or even reach what would be the sound of the underworld.

SYNOID PREMIERE // Nendza - Roter Drache [In Ewigen Linien]

Studying in a musical primary school and learning to play musical instruments (three years of piano and 8 years of flute) both played a very important role in developing his musical competence.

In 1998 being a producer was a part of his life and, though with elementary equipment he only reached elementary music, he devoted almost his whole life to this.

After 2005 his work as a producer seemed to become mature and as proof of this, all the famous artists started to spin his pieces. From now on he was unstoppable.

Over the past decade, he has grown into one of the most defining figures of the Hard Techno scene, and he become a pioneer and reformer of the Hard Techno sound.

The Berlin based producer @alivemaex unveils his track “Eiskalt” today, presenting an exciting sound composition of New Electronic Wave. Narrowed by his attention & love for details, perfectionism and passion, the track reflects its own meticulousness playing gently with the harmonisation of its own parts.

Evolving from dark-marching EBM-percussions the track is stepping forward, opening up its emotional deepness when the singers voice is transposing a sad but nothing than beautiful new wave vocal “Eiskalt! … Ich fühl mich so einsam, so einsam und eiskalt!”, fully setting its full, wished atmosphere by the growling bassline and the gentle euphoric guitar riffs leading into a break of the loop of sadness before pushing the way out into more energy. 

“The track is about being alone and the feeling of being stuck in a deep loop. It describes the icy chills that race through one's feelings and emotions. For me, the track is a reflection of these intense emotional states.” - ALIVEMAEX

The track HALFMOON started as a collaboration with Lorenzo Mancino in his home studio and was later finished in IN FURCHT’s studio. After testing it in clubs, including the Weltspieleclub in Hannover, the track was completely deconstructed and rebuilt to make it more danceable and club-ready. HALFMOON explores intense emotions tied to old, painful memories, with lyrics written and performed solely by Lorenzo Mancino. Interestingly, the main vocal line that appears in the middle of the track was entirely freestyled and kept in its raw form after recording, giving it an authentic and unpolished feel.

For the 161st edition of the SYNOID Podcast, @hybral takes us back to our last Weekeder in October through layered and evolving soundscapes in their opening set. Hybral begins with deep, rolling sub-frequencies and adds textured percussion and dystopian atmospheres, creating intricate details that unfold over time. "For me, it’s all about the progression—the journey of crafting a mood and setting the tone for the night."

This set reflects Hybral’s love for opening sets, where the gradual progression from ambient, slower raw techno, and broken beats builds toward the intense energy of industrial sounds. The focus is on tension—not as simple build-and-release, but as an unrelenting, hypnotic rise that plays with the audience’s expectations. „I enjoy playing with the audience’s expectation of release, withholding it while the intensity continues to rise. It creates an obsessive and controlling energy, a subtle power play between the DJ and the audience. "

Enjoy the memories of our last weekender with Hybral’s dark, textured soundscapes and let the shifting nuances guide you through this deeply atmospheric set.

SYNOID PODCAST 162 || AFRA

For the 162nd edition of the SYNOID Podcast, @aframusic presents a carefully curated all-vinyl set that embodies her love for storytelling through music. "I am passionate about creating a diverse and dynamic set—I don’t like to stick to just one style of music. For me, it’s all about storytelling through the music I select and play. Each set has a clear beginning, a journey to work toward, and a meaningful end." Her raw, gritty approach to mixing vinyl adds character and authenticity to the experience.

Preparing for this set, Afra focused on the context and energy of the moment. "Playing exclusively with vinyl means I need to plan carefully what I want to bring and play. For me, preparation is all about understanding the context—the venue, the size of the room, the DJs playing before or after me, and even the mood I’m in. I try to keep all of these elements in mind as I put together a set." This time, she’s bringing a mix of newer releases and timeless classics that capture the essence of raw, gritty techno. "My track selection is intended to create a shared journey, where the music becomes a catalyst for connection, freedom, and a deeper immersion into the energy of the dancefloor."

They aroused much interest even outside the continent becoming one of the most requested live acts of the techno scene. First three releases on their label "Nine Times Nine" and their appearance on Planet Rhythm special "303" vinyl release were immediately sold out after few hours. Live is what they are whether in or out of the studio, they are spontaneous. Improvisation with hardware is the key element of their performance and is impossible to replicate.

Gijensu is the Stockholm duo consisting of Anton Abrahamsson and Oscar Strand.
 
Their mutual love for the harder, faster and rougher side of techno brought them together in their hometown where the lack of musical brutality is palpable to say the least.
 
Influenced by the aggressive and colorful sounds of the previous decades, combined with a vision of creating something new, Gijensu strives to explore, develop and invent.

Hadone is one of the most interesting new artists in techno, making his way up in quick ascent. Recently he’s been added to the Possession family as a resident alongside heavy hitting releases on esteemed labels such as Monnom Black and KAOS. He’s already set several clubs across the globe alight in the last few months not only as Hadone but also alongside Shlomo with their Vipa Diva project.

90s Techno remains his main influence, to which he adds his own touch that we all know. This combination gives us a simple and melancholic result that defines his musical identity, creating his own unique style.
