TECHNOABI Amphetamine

Exploring a mix of both new and classic tracks, I recorded this hard techno set that captures the intense, driving energy I love. Lately, I’ve been diving more into acid techno, but this was a great return to a sound that’s close to my heart. With BPMs locked between 150-155, this set pushes a relentless, underground vibe from start to finish. Hope you enjoy the ride as much as I enjoyed creating it! 

Let me know what you think, and stay tuned for more deep and hard-hitting sounds.

Hard Techno DJ Set

Hard Techno / Schranz Vibes

Today was my day off, so I dove into some hard techno and schranz to unwind and sharpen my skills.

This live mix is a blend of past and present, keeping it raw and relentless at 150–158 BPM. I streamed it live from home on Instagram, pushing the energy into the digital void.

Instagram limited the first part of the set to an hour, but I kept the momentum going with a second part, clocking in at 1h17min.

Funny story—I forgot to hit record at the start of the session. Thankfully, my wife saved the day and reminded me to capture the rest. So, the first few minutes of the opening track are missing here, but you can catch them on my Instagram profile.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

HARD TECHNO DJ SET - TECHNO TUESDAY #01

Digging through my drive, I stumbled upon this hard techno and schranz DJ set, recorded back in December 2008. It’s a back-to-back session with my brother that life gave me and one of my dearest friends, Andrézão aka CODÉ.

CODÉ and I met during university while I was studying Social Communication. From the moment we connected, I introduced him to the underground scene — the rawest, most intense sounds of the underground — and of course, he fell in love with it right away!

From that point on, we hit countless parties, clubs, and raves, always showing up to support our friends behind the decks and to vibe with the sickest international DJs that came through.

Our love for hard techno grew so deep that we started digging tracks from our friends’ releases, downloading fresh drops from the web, and honing our mixing skills. At BPMs ranging from 150 to 155, out of that passion, a few sets of ours were born.

This particular B2B session captures that vibe perfectly — packed with the tracks we loved and the energy we lived for.

Hope you all enjoy it!

Cåäk vs CODÉ @ Hard Techno Set - December 2008

From São Paulo, Brazil.
Living in Perth, Western Australia.

Carlos Simionato aka Caak, was born in São Paulo City, Brazil.

He had his first contact with dance music in the 90s, through radio programs, and shortly after, started attending matinees at some clubs in the city.

As a result, he had the opportunity to promote some prominent clubs in the city at that time, started attending club nights, and thus began to be increasingly enchanted by electronic music and also by the DJ's mixing.

In the late 90s, along with his best friends, he started attending the first rave parties that began to emerge and arrive in Brazil. At the same time, he stopped attending clubs that played more commercial electronic music, only frequenting clubs that were more focused on the underground style in the São Paulo scene and that embraced the LGBT audience more, such as Hells Club, Sound Factory, Overnight, Lov.e, and A Lôca.

He saw and experienced the RAVE movement and growth in São Paulo, attending renowned and legendary parties such as Oribapu, Naga Naja, Xxxperience, Avonts, Groove Nation, Rave Patrol, SPGroove, Techno Route, Circuito, Technopride, Fuel Techno, Fervo, Techneura, among others.

In this underground rave movement, Caak first came into contact with the more psychedelic music, PsyTrance. But soon after discovering Techno and its subgenres, such as Acid Techno and Hard Techno, his true passion and love for these styles exploded.

In 2007, Caak decided to buy his turntables along with some vinyl records, started studying and practicing the art of DJing, playing at home as a hobby and at some parties among friends.

In 2012, he took an official DJ course at DJBAN, an electronic music center focused on courses, training, music production, and equipment. With this, he gained more theoretical and practical knowledge of how DJing works.

In 2013, the year he decided to do an exchange program in Australia, Caak had the opportunity to play for the first time in Melbourne. Always looking for the most underground techno parties, organized by local crews, such as Bunker and Tekno Mulisha.

During this time, due to the high cost of bringing his equipment to Australia, Caak ended up acquiring a Traktor S4 to continue playing. Delving into the features of this controller and making the most of it for his constant practices.

Now residing in Perth, Western Australia, Caak has been given the opportunity to showcase all his knowledge and love for underground electronic music over all these years, playing at some beach raves in Fremantle.

Balancing his time between studies, work in the hospitality industry, and doing what he loves most, playing techno!
