Friends,

Greetings to all of you out there for another edition of the ESOA Podcast.
"Rhythim is Rhythim - Nude Photo" released on "Transmat" is an ultimate classic from 87' and another really great track with the "Detroit" seal of approval. 
My guest today was, if you like, in charge of it.
Everyone should know Thomas Barnett, but surely also some of his aliases like Groove Slave, Subterfuge or Four313, a project in collaboration with Blake Baxter.
Today, well over 30 years later, Thomas is still active and can look back on a countless series of productions and releases.
In '96 he was to found his own label "Visillusion" but over the years he has also released on a number of international labels. Here are a few examples Transmat, Novamute, Psychothrill, Submerge, Warp, Prime and many more.
But his productions are not only known for the club, also for commercials and movies.
I am very happy to finally present a first guest from Detroit.
I hope you enjoy his exclusive set, here is ESOA Podcast 033 by Thomas Barnett.

Stay faithful and stay healthy.

Cheers.

A part from the All Nighter I did the 30th November 2019,
De School was by far my favourite place to play as TALISMANN...The people, the sound, the CLUB!

We are thrilled to share a 90-minute excerpt of this exceptional set from 2021 that will always remain one of the most legendary moments on our dancefloor...

REC 25 w/ Nørbak

One of today's driving minds behind textural and barrier-breaking soundscapes, Nørbak fully delivered on that promise in April. Guiding us through layers of gritty textures, deep basslines, and unconventional rhythms, he masterfully creates a dynamic conversation between each element, maintaining control at every turn. The result keeps us on edge, making it a perfect addition to our recorded live at Fuse series.

Modern hypnotics from a new techno star.

It's a tale as old as time: techno DJ moves to Berlin to chase a dream. Philippa Pacho is part of the latest wave of talent to tread that familiar path. But don't let that fool you. She's one of the classiest artists around—no TikTok gimmicks here.

Pacho's formative years were spent in her native Stockholm, navigating a vibrant DIY party scene that included warehouse raves and illegal parties. She eventually took up a long-standing residency at beloved local club Under Bron and the experience, as she details in this week's Q&A, sharpened her technical skills, teaching her to handle every type of set—whether opening with patience, supporting a headliner or closing with finesse. She also played with countless touring DJs, from Answer Code Request to Antony Parasole, which ultimately inspired her move to Berlin.

That relocation has firmly paid off. It's a testament to Pacho's talent that you'll find her playing pretty much every big club and festival across Europe, from Berghain and Dekmantel to FOLD and Monument (we were exhausted just looking at her upcoming listings on RA). Other recent highlights include closing out Bassiani's tenth birthday, and back-to-backs with Fadi Mohem and Sandrien. 

Pacho's RA Podcast showcases her preference for classy, hypnotic techno, striking a balance between muscle and subtle groove. Her aptitude for what makes dance floors tick is also evident on her two labels—Phorum Records and positivesource (co-run with Blue Hour)—both of which mirror her DJ style, blending intensity with delicate textures. positivesource has released several standout records, including this year's "Psycho" by BLANKA and Phil Berg's "Psyckik" (which you'll hear on this mix). 

Spanning 70 minutes, RA.980 is a window into Pacho's thoroughly modern sound (the oldest track is from 2018). And yet it retains a refined, sweeping quality. Give it a spin and you'll soon twig why she's in demand on dance floors worldwide.

SHDW is the phantom moniker of Marco Bläsi, a Stuttgart native with a penchant for racing percussions and big room sounds. 2014 saw the beginning of his long-term partnership with like-minded techno dealer Obscure Shape (Luigi Urban), with whom he co-ran the party series and label spin-off From Another Mind. Ten years later and Bläsi has set out on his own journey, building on a decade-long legacy of sounds with just himself, ‘his music, decks, and a mixer’. Following on from his previous label, he founded Mutual Rytm in 2022, an outlet and creative platform focused on putting out the type of expansive techno SHDW’s come to be known for. His signature style a blend of intelligently superimposed and shuffling basslines, blink of an eye beats that elicit movement and social bonds. Unerring prime time techno, Bläsi’s path forward is looking promising, with a surge of Mutual Rytm releases and worldwide dates, the next ten years look set to further build on what he’s achieved since he started out. Bassiani Podcast 267 is a true to type episode from this master of the genre, a sleek and contemporary spate of rumbling kicks, dizzying effects and hedonic vibrations, a chugging and groovy 65 minute edition with SHDW’s fingerprints all over it.
