TECHNOBULL PODCAST SERIES

Originally from Sicily, Johannes discovered electronic music during his teenage years, drawn in by the pulse of the local underground scene. Captivated by hypnotic, repetitive rhythms, he took his first steps into DJing after buying his first mixer and turntables—an experience that soon evolved into a deeper exploration of sound. Between 2015 and 2017, he honed his craft in music production and audio engineering at Eufonica – Officina Studi Musicali in Ragusa.

After performing live at various venues—including Zo Centro Culture Contemporanee in Catania with his side project G.trax, focused on house music—Johannes ultimately found his true voice in techno: raw, driving, and minimal.

Fuelled by the gritty energy of Berlin, he’s constantly pushing the limits of rhythm and perception, building immersive sets that fuse groove, tension, depth, and experimentation.

Antonio Ferrara, aka BLACK CROW, is an Italian DJ and producer deeply rooted in the country’s underground electronic music scene. Originally from Foggia and based in Turin since 2013, he has earned a strong reputation through residencies at Movement and Genau Turin, where he has played alongside international heavyweights such as Adriana Lopez, Cleric, Klangkuenstler, Amotik, Flavia Laus, Stephanie Sykes, and more, notably as part of the OVER project by Movement.

He is the founder of SPIN CYCLE SESSION, a forward-thinking club series based in Turin, and also holds a residency at Synergia, one of the leading techno events in Southern Italy. His sets have brought him to the decks with artists like Kaiser, DJ Dextro, Zippo, Rebecca Delle Piane, Domenico Crisci, and DJ Plant Texture, among others.

BLACK CROW’s sound blends hypnotic loops, raw textures, and deep, driving rhythms — a signature style that has earned him releases on respected underground labels such as Ass3, Eram, Backrooms, TMM, Naked Lunch, Onchet, B55, LVMINAL, DMR, Trau-ma, ASR, DOLMA, Primitive State, Monark, and many more.

Exilles is the result of a unique alchemy between two minds, driven by a shared desire to deconstruct and reassemble raw, corrosive, and dreamlike sounds through a mystical and enigmatic lens. Performing strictly live, they conduct ritual-like sets with analog gear and modular synths, crafting dark, hypnotic atmospheres that blur the line between the senses.

Their sound explores the constant tension between opposites — light and darkness, black and white, awareness and abandon — creating a dynamic techno that keeps the listener in a state of balance and unrest.

After years of experience performing across the European techno scene under various aliases, they debuted as Exilles with an EP on Involve Records, followed by releases on A.R.T.S, Planet Rhythm, COUP, Grounded, Märked, and their own labe, Genau Recordings, which they co-founded. In April 2025, they also released a new EP with HATE Collective. Their live performances have taken them to iconic venues such as Griessmuehle, Alte Münze, Fabrik, Smolna, KFF19 Afterparty, among others.

Mesh Convergence @ Cadavra W/ Sinapsis

@manuabeca is an Argentinian-born, Berlin-based artist. His sets explore the space between hypnotic techno, deep melodic rhythms, and emotional intensity.

This particular mix was recorded live in Japan, during a reflective trip through Asia. It includes manu's unreleased material produced along the way and captures a moment of emotional clarity. manu abeca’s sound reflects both his sensibility as a producer and his instinct as a selector. The set is shaped by the solitude and movement of the journey.

manu recently released his first vinyl EP Eudaimonia on RAUM Records, which has already been supported by key artists in the scene including MARRØN, Claudio PRC, and Rene Wise, and he is currently working on several upcoming releases.

Paris-via-Berlin based DJ and producer Arkan onboards the series this week with two hours fully embracing his deep, hypnosis-inducing mindset and definite knack for shaping streamlined floor narratives. Responsible for a handful surgical transmissions on the likes of Figure and SK_Eleven, in addition to running his own imprints Autonome and Drawner, the French artist keeps carving out a niche for himself at the junction of purely pragmatic, gravity-defying grooves and a certain orientation for experimental-leaning submersion, tailored to maintain techno's intrinsic relevancy and boundary-pushing character when so much material feels stuck in the emulative loop and not caring one bit to opt out the lame-ass continuum. One to keep the adrenaline rushing badman-style, and all brains in the room just as duly, unflinchingly stimulated.

Reclaim Your City 656 | Arkan

Championing a sound both rugged and trance-inducing, Porto-based Brazilian producer Marcal clocks in this week with two hours blending future-proof warehouse rave material and claustrophobic 4x4 maneuvers. Hot on the heels of his latest ’Nature of the Future’ EP on Donato Dozzy and Neel’s imprint Spazio Disponibile, Marcal takes us on a mind-bending ride down raucous sine-scapes and brooding, verbed-out atmospheres, constantly pushing the envelope of techno as can be experienced these days. Resuming its course as a means for transcending our (currently much gloomy) zeitgeist, techno here gets back on its revolution-friendly tracks, finding its second breath as a metamorphic tool for blazing new paths and routes towards a better, more intelligently designed world. There goes a mix that summons the very finest of Marcal’s boundary-pushing vision and killer knack for crafting memorable and emancipatory floor narratives. Brace yourselves.

Adrian Skiba @Crackhouse  🇵🇱 (16.08.2025) opening set

"I think if you can imagine what you want to create, it means that someone has done it
already. I want to explore new textures, new sounds. It’s all about improvisation." So runs the creative mantra of Lidvall, an artist whose immersive and pulverising productions stands as among the most innovative in the contemporary techno scene. Hailing from St Petersburg and now living in Spain, Lidvall is one of the artists I had always wished to include in the DYSTOPIA series, owing to the outstanding quality and impressive consistency of his output. In this episode I frame his music with some thoughts on movement in aesthetics before we delve into an interview covering his musical methodology, his increasing embrace of dancefloor oriented productions, as well as some recent controversies he has encountered releasing his music on a very well known techno label. As always, the episode is capped with a 30 minute mix of his finest productions. Hope you all enjoy the episode, meeting Lidvall, and his incredible music.

“For this one, I’m highlighting an artist that i respect for keeping things pure and uncompromising. Decka for me is a real one with a sharp ear for proper techno.
This studio session is mixed straight from wax and you can hear it in the flow and in the crackles between the grooves. The whole session is stripped-back and loopy, heavy on locked repetition but always alive and energetic. The kind of techno music that I love to hear from a techno dj. Simple, raw and straight to the core of this genre. 
Enough said. Now I am leaving you in the hands of someone who knows exactly what to do with this music”
