"Megan Leber, labeled as “the Queen of Restraint” by the modular community, is a Rotterdam (NL) based live performer, DJ and producer who is heavily relying on her intuition. Driven by curiosity and the need to be able to improvise, she uses her sampler on top of her DJ set to pull the dance floor into her world. Working with artists like Speedy J, Rødhåd and Colin Benders for STOOR and releasing tracks on vinyl next to Luke Slater and Ben Sims made her gain ground in the electronic music scene. Her live sets as well as her hybrid DJ sets range from deeper techno to faster techno and occasionally she’ll weave together an ambient set, making her an exceptionally versatile artist and definitely one to not quickly forget."

Having cut his teeth in the tougher fringes of the electronic gameʼs spectrum under a flurry of aliases in the past, Miro Pajic went on to write new material in the guise of MSDMNR in more recent years, releasing a handful of satisfyingly sturdy but hyper dynamic releases via his eponymous imprint, eventually taking his inimitable jagged and reverb-soaked signature to 30D Records in 2020 with the streamlined ʻEmergencyʼ EP followed by releases on HAYES, MindTrip, Jonas Kopp's TREMSIX, Kaiser's KSR and Illegal Alien Records. Miroʼs music dwells the grey zone between ruff and bleepy rave material and further deep-diving excursions. If heʼs taken his place amongst the most dextrous groove manipulators out there, no doubt the reason lies in his inimitable flair for crafting pieces and moments as effortlessly immersive as they remain proof against time-erodible trends and ephemeral tendencies.

This time, it’s back to the basics with Ottonian — a Tbilisi-based artist, resident DJ, and core member of TES Club. For this mix, he delivers a focused selection that traces a journey through techno’s roots. Drawing from the genre’s formative sound palette, the set highlights the purest form of techno: raw, percussive, and tightly constructed. Known for his thoughtful approach and deep connection to early underground movements, Ottonian presents a mix that reflects both his influences and his precise style behind the decks.

Having first emerged in 2019 through Tbilisi’s DRAMA Bar, Ottonian steadily built his presence within Georgia’s underground scene. His approach is shaped by a strong respect for techno’s origins — particularly the sounds of Detroit and Chicago — and a desire to preserve their essence while translating it into contemporary contexts. His earlier Ghettotech productions, known for their raw and unfiltered character, echo through this set — maintaining the same urgency and drive while translating it into a more stripped-down, rhythmic framework.
