EPM Podcast 163 comes from Dutch DJ/producer, Ritzi Lee (aka Steve Liem). As a party-goer in the halcyon days of Amsterdam clubbing in the 90s and someone who witnessed legendary clubs like RoXY and iT in full swing, Ritzi Lee’s love of techno is rooted in its origins. This has been perfectly captured by this recent DJ + 909 drum machine set at Freedom Festival in Medellin, Columbia which Steve peppers with his own off the cuff TR-909 live jams. Featuring the likes of Chris Liebing, Kr!z, Damon Wild, Luigi Madonna, PRSPCTV aka XENTRIX Jonas Kopp, Orbe, Deetron, The Advent, Mark Broom and numerous self-productions, Ritzi delivers a pulsating DJ and live hybrid set with the crowd of Columbia's Freedom Festival in the palm of his hand!

Ritzi Lee’s ‘Momentum’ releases via Symbolism on 24th March.

EPM podcast #163 - Ritzi Lee

EPM Podcast 164 comes from Detroit man DJ Rolando. Having made his name as The Aztec Mystic on Underground Resistance and as Los Hermanos (on his own eponymous label) alongside Gerald Mitchell, he now runs his second label venture R3 (Roland Rocha Records) and exclusively releases his own music on the imprint. This mix captures then man in techno funk heaven as he brings together tracks from Steve Rachmad, Rennie Foster, R.M.K., Jeran Fortis, Ribe & Roll Dann, Mark Broom, The Exaltics, Elisa Bee, Mr G & Duncan Forbes, Klint and of course some hot up and coming floor bombs from the man himself!

Rolando grew up in south west Detroit, a Hispanic district, and was heavily influenced by his cultural Latin rhythms and percussion. Inspired from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music and became well known and respected within the community. It was later when he heard Jeff Mills in 1985 as ‘The Wizard’ that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined Underground Resistance in 1994. 

In 1999 'Knights of the Jaguar', although not Rolando's first release on UR, turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming a classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Oakenfold and Gilles Peterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on nearly 25 years later inspiring audiences from all genres. Rolando continues to work internationally as a DJ and still preaches the word of techno to enthusiastic crowds the world over. 

‘Where You From Foo’ is out now on R3 Records.

EPM podcast #164 - Rolando

EPM Podcast 167 comes from head ‘hydro-tripper’ Black Eyes. Hailing originally from Manchester, in the industrial north of England, Black Eyes has effortlessly relocated to the similarly gritty streets of Berlin, where his raw, trademark sound blends perfectly with the sodium lit concrete environment. His deep, multi-layered techno sound can not only be heard on his own label, Lost Control 2097 but also on his 7 year NTS radio residency and now Balamii radio. But for a man who cites Omar S and Young Marco amongst his key influences, DJing is where you will find him at his best. EPM Podcast 167 captures an emerging global talent coming into his own sound which is perfectly captured here amongst tracks from Rick Wade, Jon Dixon, Paul Johnson, Soulphiction, Glenn Davis, Technoir and a cut from his debut solo EP. 

Whilst excelling as a producer of self-described “Hydro-Trip” which is deep and trippy house, Black Eyes is at heart primarily a DJ, and always will be. His sound is heavily influenced by Detroit producers Mike Huckaby, Walt J, Omar S and Norm Talley as well European DJs like Young Marco and MCDE with their unique mixing styles. These influences shine through both in his sets and in the releases from his own label, LOST CONTROL 2097, most notably heard over a 7 year residency with the infamous NTS radio, more recently Balamii radio, and at the now legendary parties he ran at The White Hotel in Manchester. 

Since moving to Berlin in 2022, he has released Planet People - Terra Firma with Reedale Rise. This is their deep techno + house side project and their debut record is available via Rush Hour. His solo EP ‘Hydro-Trip vol 1’ is out this August on Lost Control 2097 with a remix from Rolando of Los Hermanos / Underground Resistance fame. 

[LC2097-004] Black Eyes - Hydro-Trip Vol.1 (inc. Rolando Remix) is released 18 August.

EPM Podcast #174 - Skov Bowden

EPM Podcast 177 comes from Quenum. A lover of music in all its forms, Quenum has an established 30-year career and has gained the respect of techno pioneers as well as the following of the younger generation. From his work as part of Access 58 in the late 90s to setting up Cadenza Records with Luciano in 2001, Quenum has gone on to release on the likes of Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric and Get Physical. Here for the EPM Podcast he brings his years of techno know how together for a restrained minimal mix that features the likes of Helmut Dubnitzky & Jackspot, Vin Sol & Matrixxman, Paul Woolford, Detroit Grand PuBahs, Damien Almira, D.A.V.E. the Drummer, Ed Davenport and more.

When Quenum settled in London in the 90s he started working with Paulo Nascimento, a studio musician and sound engineer. In 1997 they released their first EP on Pacific Records - that is how Access 58 was born. They performed live and played DJ gigs at all the legendary London clubs, such as The End and the Velvet Rooms, for Carl Cox’s Ultimate Base nights. Access 58 collaborated with major artists of the 90s, such as The Advent and Umek and released over 30 EPs on various labels including their own (also called Access 58). 

In 2001 Quenum moved to Switzerland, where he soon met another talented artist with whom he would make history, Luciano. Together, in Luciano’s studio in the Swiss mountains, they composed “Orange Mistake” – recognized as one of the anthems of techno music. But when they approached various labels to release it, no one was interested. That’s how they started their own label, Cadenza. Soon after Luciano moved to Berlin, becoming the label’s boss. From his base in Geneva, QUENUM continued playing all the big clubs in the US and Europe – especially with Cadenza in Panorama Bar where they invited Apollonia, Thomas Melchior, Loco Dice – riding the wave of interest that “Orange Mistake” generated. 

In the next decade he continued producing groovy techno released on all the top labels (incl. Transmat, Crosstown Rebels, Cocoon, Fabric, Get Physical) and playing clubs all over the world. His love for the groove was nurtured in his music-filled Afro-Caribbean home. 

Now you will find QUENUM playing all over the world. From 2013 to 2019 Quenum worked in partnership with Cesare vs Disorder. Together as Azimute they toured Asia, Australia and South America. They released Azimute on Serialism and ran their label nights in Brazil, London and Berlin. 

QUENUM is known as one of the friendliest faces in techno, which explains why he loves collaborating with his brothers-and-sisters-in-arms. For QUENUM, each collaboration is an opportunity to learn and share his passion with friends. His latest collaboration ‘My Definition of Groove’ features Detroit Grand PuBah Paris The Black Fu and is out now on Engineroom.

EPM Podcast #177 - Quenum

EPM Podcast 178 comes from HI ROSIE. The up and coming French producer has been catching ears with his sensitive yet propulsive productions that are gracing labels such as Laurent Garnier’s Cod3 QR, Miley Serious’ 99 cts records, Bad Tips, and more. Here the Lyon based producer brings his twisted bass sound to the EPM podcast, fusing tracks from Ayesha, NKC, BAMBII feat Aluna, DJ Polo, Nick León feat. DJ Babatr, Hemdi and Bianca Oblivion all topped off with a dash of unreleased HI ROSIE productions.

DJ and producer HI ROSIE, spotted by Laurent Garnier and endorsed by major artists on the world scene such as Tzusing and Sinjin Hawke, produces music rooted in furious, contemporary bass music, where the boundaries of the genre are shaken to the core. Under the aegis of a minimalism where it is not a question of adding but rather of removing to finish, its essence lies in a rejection of overproduction and a race to the essential. A quest for the simple and the effective. 

Between raw FM synthesis, lyrical vocals, romantic orchestral instruments and deconstructed rhythms, the artist offers us two distinct aesthetics in his music: one where the energy of the club and the dance is at the centre, and the other, much more sensitive and romantic.
