Klubska Scena Mix - Angela Kochinatz (Melodic Techno)

ҐАНДЗЯ

Don't be fooled by the pretty synth pads at the start of this track--this one gets noisy pretty fast...and it only gets crazier from there!  Please fasten your seatbelts and return your tray to its upright and locked position, because there could be turbulence on this journey!  

Sometimes, I have a very specific idea for what I think I want to make (not that I ever really get close to that original target, but it's at least pointing me in a particular direction.)  For today's Interbay track post, I have to admit that I didn't have any sort of road map or compass--I just sort of found pieces and parts that I took a blow torch to weld everything together.  

I started by looking through my virtual instruments for something I haven't used before--or haven't used in awhile.  Taiko Drums.  Sure...why not.  And why not throw some reverb and echo to really make those drums sound massive?  

After that, I added the pretty pads (later, I'd move them to the start of the track.)  I thought I would use the Moog Mariana for a bassline--but instead I came up with a bouncy riff that is somewhere between a bassline and a lead--and I really liked how that riff played off the Taiko Drums and the pad, but in different and intriguing ways.  

Add a very straight forward but impactful kick loop and an anciently simple synth, that I through a wavery and inconsistent bit of processing on that synth to make it more and more complex...and that's basically the track.  

...at least it is, until the acid rock freak out happens.    

Adding a busy and energetic drum track from the time before click tracks and machine tempos to a modern electronic track is always going to be a bit awkward.  Rather than try to correct all of the timing conflicts, I just decided to run with the live drums in control for a bit.  The same source that gave me the drums also provided some guitar sounds (that I chopped and processed), and the vocal hook.  

"I use the juju of my ancestors" is a very evocative phrase.  I can't say that its meaning speaks to me, but it sure sounds good repeated in this track.  

I had planned on using more of the vocal--but, instead, I kept it simple.  Shock! Horror! I actually edited myself for a change!!!  Hard to believe after yesterday's 9+ minute track, but occasionally I can push myself away from the banquet table and say "that's enough for now."  However, the parts that I worked on and decided not to use have been saved separately and stuck into The Vault.  Who knows?  Perhaps a completely separate track might someday emerge from what was left on the laboratory floor when today's track was created.  

All this at a pretty fast for electronic dance music tempo--with parts of the mix that is just daring your speakers to consume itself trying to reproduce it for you...it is definitely an adventure--one I hope you're up for!  

As always, I hope you give today's track a listen--and it would be so helpful if you gave it a like, a repost, a share, add it to a playlist, and/or leave a comment on it.  Most of all, I hope you follow this page for more Interbay tracks, a new never-before-heard track gets posted every single day (so far!)  By following along, you'll get to experience something new and unexpected daily!  (And, as ever, a follow earns a follow back.)

Dig the wall of sound that is "Juju of My Ancestors" and always remember to kick out the jams srekcufrehtom!!!

TKOSZK is a techno project initiated by Tokyo-based producer TAKEO SUZUKI. The project combines the power of hard techno with the stoic aesthetics of minimal techno in pursuit of a deeper, more experimental sound. The sound is constructed with repetitive sequences, heavy kicks, and meticulously placed noise, providing a physical experience that takes the listener into a concrete labyrinth.


In the 90s, he began his career as a beatmaker and DJ under the names DJ TKO and TAKEO SUZUKI in the club jazz unit "O.M.U.", releasing CDs on the Nippon Columbia Triad label. He then released a completely self-produced album on the German label 99.

After leaving O.M.U., he took a break from music. Around 2020, he resumed his music career, and has been actively releasing experimental electronic music, techno, psychill music, and other music, mainly ambient, on bandcamp.

Meet AïDA, the Canadian DJ, based in Berlin, where she moved to find a new challenge for her journey in Music and explore her aptitude deeper.

AïDA’s journey as a DJ began in Toronto a decade ago, as she decided to conquer a new continent and her creativity to make a 180-degree career change to pursue something that she held a passion for a long time. She graduated from the Broadcasting Program where she learned a lot about audio, composing, mixing and mastering, engineering, sound design, live broadcast production. She has been actively learning the craft from various schools and mentors, from Ontario’s Off Centre Vinyl School to European ProDJ and DJ Academy, constantly evolving and refining her sound.

In 2018, AïDA became a MISS UKRAINIAN CANADA Finalist in the Canada-wide Social Contest and Talent Show, winning two Titles - Miss Talent and Miss Creativity for her live DJ Performance. AïDA is also a DJ coach and a mentor, she started her DJ School in Toronto, and now running her DJ Craft Programs in Berlin.

Her experience includes residencies in lounges and clubs, hotels, private and corporate events, activations, countrywide and local show performances, sports events, radio broadcast sessions across Canada, Germany and European countries.

AïDA’s music draws on a blend of groovy and bright soundscapes, balanced with rich organic overtones, evolving into layers of subtle melody and rhythmic pulsation to create a new conceptual story.

Music has always been the deepest part of my life. Growing up in Istanbul, I developed an early connection with organic sounds and powerful basslines. Over time, this connection evolved into a journey- not just as a listener, but as a guide through sound. I express my musical flow through different projects and distinct styles.

   Since 2016, I’ve performed at countless events in countries such as Turkey, Colombia, Guatemala, as well as Ukraine, Mexico and Peru.

   In 2020, I founded Cosmix Crew, through which I organized the Multiverse Online Psychedelic Festival, bringing together artists from all around the world.

   In 2023, I created Vibe House on the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala - more than just a club, it became a sacred meeting point for freedom, connection, and nature-driven music.

   Between 2021 and 2024, I toured throughout South and Central America. The ancestral cultures, ritualistic energy, and nature-infused environments of these lands deeply transformed my sound and spirit. 

   For now i am based in Istanbul while continuing to travel and perform internationally, sharing a musical vision that is rooted in connection, depth, and freedom.
