CTLCAST

With clubs in hibernation and dancefloors feeling like a fading dream, we gathered some of our favorite artists. United in our self-deception we set out to create DELUSIONS. Eight tracks to vivify our urge to return into the crowd.

In light of recents events surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine the artists and us have decided to donate all bandcamp generated revenue to Caritas Ukraine. We stand with the victims of this senseless violence.

Neon Graveyard is an anonymous Electronic Music Producer, DJ and WAHN Label Co- Founder joining the ranks from Cologne. The yellow-masked maniac established his sound as a blend of heavily distorted, rumbling basslines and a raw, percussive drum foundation, creating an atmosphere of restless agony and euphoric misery.

Seren.a is an electronic sound artist from Düsseldorf and co-founder of the queer all-female collective Get Over It. As a heavy hardware synth enthusiast she orchestrates her own soundscapes that help her heal from wounds the heteronormative world left upon her.

BORGBORG is a producer and DJ from Germany exploring the boundaries between sound and sex. Combining kybernetic sounds of field recordings, ritual industrial beats and pitch black poems, her music embarks a journey of kinky pleasures and darkest secrets.

N.GREZI combines all available sonic resources to push his nostalgia-infused Hard Techno from Zagreb, Croatia. Taking pleasure in surprising his audience it is not uncommon for him to extensively utilize retro video game samples to unleash on the dancefloor.

ESR_ is a young Cologne-based DJ and producer with an affection for nasty sound design. His music portrays dystopian landscapes painted by ecstatic experiences on the interface of sexuality and music.

Klaus.Froebel founder of the Bunker.Reborn collective is a DJ and producer operating in the sphere of Industrial Techno Body Music. His musical narratives thrive through rhythmic, body-heavy basslines surrounded by whipping snares and searing hi-hats.

Anodized is a DJ/Producer based in Düsseldorf and co-founder of the label systemctl. He idolizes kitsch and loves digital sounds.

Hidonash is a Germany based musician, DJ and co-founder of system ctl. As a musician he explores uncanny valleys between stomping industrial and vocal synthesis. His work lays out both archaic and futuristic motives and directs them furiously in a series of unsettling ceremonies.

DELUSIONS

Now he is finally pushing his robo-romantic productions to the masses.   His style is heavily influenced by a sophisticated balance of body music roughness and italo-flavoured smoothness. The set takes you on a nostalgic yet futuristic journey from dystopian electro to rough body music all garnished with a clear 80s obsession and a love for glamorous Italo.

@holdkedveset entry is sharp edged, noisy and menacing. His curation consists mostly of modular sounds, striking stomping percussion and atmospheric synths.

His fully saturated hour of mixing is not for the faint of heart, offering unrelenting tracks one after the other.

CTLCAST014 // HOLDKEDVESET

system ctl member @hugo_dirac celebrates his swift return to the CTLCAST series with a raw and furious journey through dark electronic body music and techno. His set combines familiar sounds from @gesaffelstein, Blawan (@ternesc) and Adam X with more modern body music from artists like @alenskanner and @yearsofdenial, all spiced up with a pinch of @pinkmanrecords influence.

CTLCAST015 // Hugo Dirac

CTLCAST returns. After a break, we're back with a new look and planning to keep this series going. Stoked to kick things off with a driving set by @harezimprovised!

Influenced by both 90s loop techno and modern soundscapes, Harez stands for a minimalist yet atmospheric approach to electronic music. This mix represents the former Golzheim resident's current definition of techno and aims to take the listener on a red eye flight: At times clear, at times rough and dark, but always consistent.

This weeks addition to CTLCAST is contributed by Anodized.  

His set showcases warm harmonies and lush grooves while pushing through the mix relentlessly. Passing cosmic spheres and aerial plains the listener ascends into his trancy universe.
