If there are any DJs I want to uplift here or else, it's the ones who I know have a deep knowledge of the histories and many sounds of 'dance music' -- not for want of being a know it all, but of gaining histories and contexts that would be otherwise lost in the algorithmic shuffle. Nashville-born, Montréal-based @esme3xtace is one of the best DJs of late I've heard make pure wormholes of techno, the kind that you can properly shut out the world and lose your body in. As someone who was also into this sound when I was their age, it gives me joy to see early-to-mid 20-somethings have the chances to share that kind of knowledge. Esme's mix feels like you're on cruise control, it's gone midnight and the air smells of petrichor, faint diesel, and distant flowers. Many shades of techno flow across each other like paint. You neither know nor care what tomorrow will bring.

Sciahri and his label Sublunar are thrilled to present "VEIL OF ECHOES," a new project that brings together both emerging and established talents from the label. This release showcases a fresh dimension of techno and electronic music, celebrating originality by combining timeless cuts from the past with cutting-edge sounds of the present and future.
The journey begins with "IIum" by Temudo, an entrancing track with hypnotic synths that seamlessly transitions into Troy's "Awakening," featuring an irresistible and cerebral groove. Neel takes over with "Follow Me," pushing the boundaries with intricate sound design crafted to move your body, followed by Marcal's "Ancient Swing," renowned for its unique sound and processed vocals. Kameliia's "Insolitam" then transports you to another dimension with its deeply immersive and mental vibes.
Kaiser kicks off the next phase with "Fearless Attitude," a powerful yet refined track, while Roll Dann continues the momentum with "Area 24," offering a softer yet penetrating synth line. On side D, Cirkle's "Mooree" showcases his talent for creating minimalistic yet razor-sharp tracks, leading into Juri Heidemann's "Roger," a mysterious piece with a groove designed to carry you to another realm. The project culminates with Kerrie's "Jump The Gun," featuring intricate synths and a mind-bending bassline.
With "VEIL OF ECHOES," Sublunar aims to share a visionary collection that encapsulates the essence of techno and electronic music, bridging past influences with future innovations.

DTMIX254 - Linear System [Puerto Viejo, COSTA RICA]

The inimitable self-titled album “Voices from the Lake” from Donato Dozzy and Neel. Now reimagined in a seamless, immersive live mix. Carefully crafted for the community, this tribute aims to bring this seminal ambient techno album’s hypnotic flow and aquatic depth into a new, breathing form.

Voices from the Lake - Voices from the Lake (Mixed Album)

Half of boundary-pushing production outfit Voices From The Lake and co-founder of Spazio Disponibile, Neel is an Italian producer with a keen ear for complex, enveloping sonics; his ample, elegant pieces of music sitting right at the junction of beatless abstraction and intricate webs of electronic pulsations. Boasting his works’ most dynamic side, Neel’s debut transmission on RYC ushers us into a smouldering pit of molten steel and glassy membranes. Playing with echoes and latency as he builds his own multi-sensory experience out of eclectic fragments, Neel transports us to a zone where movement and inertia rule in concerted harmony, and your suddenly weightless body feels eventually free from today’s iteratively chaotic burden. Uplifting.

DJ - Remixer - Producer 

For all booking and media requests and please send all promos/demos to johnnymackpromo@gmail.com 

Love wide range of music. House, Deep House, Electro, Tech House, Techno, Trance, Hip Hop, just to name a few.... Produce songs, remix songs and develop new sound. Keep an open mind and embrace music and all it has to offer. 

Bio? This is where I'm supposed to tell you about my world wide gigs and A list collaborations. To me, music has always been about the music and not myself. The dj is the conduit to bring or enhance that musical experience to you. For me it's always been about my passion for music and the way it makes us all feel. I have a simple philosophy that I love music and enjoy mixing and producing tunes and hope people enjoy them too. That's it!
 
Okay, guess I need to give you a little background.... Grew up in Chicago in the early 70's and 80's and was in the right place at the right time to see the birth of house music by some of Chicago's best innovators. I personally got started as a dj in the mid 80's and have appeared at multiple venues over the years, as well as featured on multiple radio shows around the world.  My love will always be vinyl and still believe newer dj's should learn the craft the "old fashioned" way however, will admit that I have been slowly moving towards a lot of the newer technology.
 

Hope you enjoy music as much as I do and happy to have all of you along for the ride. Thanks as always for the support, it's very appreciated!

About – Vincent Montoya
Vincent Montoya developed a great passion for techno music at a very early age. Growing up by the Baltic Sea, the rough and gentle sides of the sea are reflected in his track selection and mixing. He chooses his tracks carefully. He packs them with emotion, openness, sensitivity and skillful mixing into sets that capture the intimacy of the moment in front of an audience, in a club or at a festival. His mostly very long, rough and raw austerity and at the same time never-ending driving, pulsating, grooving and hypnotic textures reflect his open and creative understanding of techno as a musical style and as a lived culture. With the diversity of his tracks and his boundless understanding of art, he creates a fluid plasticity that diffuses boundaries and creates a new space without merely playing in it. At the same time, his more compressed and shorter sets don’t lack either impulsiveness nor creativity. Nevertheless, he always takes a step back and puts the sound in the foreground, which is gratefully accepted by the audience.
Vincent Montoya has over 20 years of professional DJ and event experience. This know-how is reflected in his excellent reputation and has already been successfully administered at his own events as well as been highly valued at numerous bookings for events, bars, clubs and festivals.

Vincent Montoya entwickelte sehr früh eine große Leidenschaft für Techno. Aufgewachsen an der Ostsee spiegeln sich Rauheit und Sanftmut des Meeres in Trackselection und Mixing wieder. Behutsam wählt er seine Tracks. Verpackt sie mit Emotionen, Offenheit, Sensibilität und einem gekonnten Mixing in Sets, die die Intimität des Moments von Publikum, Club und Festival einfängt. Seine zumeist sehr langen, von rauer wie schroffer Strenge und gleichsam von nie enden wollender treibender, pulsierender, groovender und hypnotischer Textur geprägten Sets spiegeln sein offenes und kreatives Verständnis für Techno als Musikstil sowie als gelebte Kultur wieder. Mit der Mannigfaltigkeit seiner Tracks und dem illimitierten Verständnis von Kunst schafft er eine fluide Plastizität, die Grenzen diffus und einen neuen Raum entstehen lässt, ohne ihn nur zu bespielen. Gleichwohl lassen seine komprimierteren und kurzen Sets nichts an Impulsivität und Kreativität vermissen. Dennoch nimmt er sich stets selbst zurück und stellt einzig den Sound in den Vordergrund, was dankend vom Publikum angenommen wird. Vincent Montoya prägen über 20 Jahre professionelle DJ–Tätigkeit und Eventerfahrung. Jenes Know-how spiegelt sich in seiner sehr guten Reputation wieder und kam bereits erfolgreich bei eigenen Veranstaltungen zum Tragen. Und werden in den zahlreichen Bookings für Events, Bars, Clubs und Festivals sehr geschätzt.
