A segment of my 3 hour set that was recorded live during the 2013 Ostgut Ton resident's night at Berghain.

Faki and Heil team up again for the third installment in their collaboration series. Well known for their high production values and unique ability to capture the kind of intense energy needed on the dancefloor, Vol. III sees the two masters on top form again.

A devilish combination of weighty break-beats, clattering old-school snares and static electricity, ‘Perception’ takes a spoken word sound-byte and twists it into a monstrous beast, filtering and snaking over 7 minutes. Perhaps their most intense club moment crafted together so far, Faki and Heil bring all their years of experience and love for their art to the table. A useful acapella version is included here too, for DJs who know!

A welcome return to some of the pair’s classic studio hardware, ‘Happy 808’ shows off masterful drum programming, coupled with a super-spacey mixdown, that elevates the 808 to new extremes. Using beautifully crafted distortion and reverb spaces, and coupled with a constantly moving arrangement, its hard to put this one down.

As Figure begins to move into the next chapter of its label history, label founder Len Faki has teamed up with young French talent Roman Poncet for the 54th release. Poncet's debut on the label dropped last year with the excellent 'Cerate' cutting a clear path for his precisely executed modern techno sound. 

Teaming up in the studio, Faki and Poncet have crafted 'Asua' - a mesmerising display of production skill and a testament to the duo's true understanding of hypnosis. Pushing from the start with its urgent bassline the track builds and morphs its intertwining elements, introducing subtle textures and suggestions of melody - a classic Figure late night ritual. 

Alongside, we have original tracks from both Len Faki and Roman themselves. Faki's thunderous and aptly titled 'Stripped' works his powerhouse percussion along with a textured dub-stab in this straight up club trip. 

Finally with 'Truck' Roman Poncet completes the EP, his rough synth stabs and metallic percussion driving this moody tension builder ever forward.

Adam Beyer is back on Drumcode with an impressive array of tracks that will get the senses tingling and shows us what Drumcode is all about. These 4 tracks are deep and almost melancholic in their approach to techno, using effects to really help enforce an ambience only Beyer can achieve within his productions. The under lying throbbing of the drums drives this EP into the forefront of the heads down Drumcode sound and have been heard in many of Beyer’s phenomenal sets throughout the year.

Transmit Recordings release number 054 comes from the Spanish gun Darkrow and includes two original slabs and a remix from Steve Mulder. “ The Gangstar” original is a tech house track, designed to groove, using rolling vocals, beautiful drum work and housey stabs, the Steve Mulder remix of it comes in a peak time, darker form, big room business and finally “Blue Glum” is a sweeter, organic tech house track with warm atmosphere and pitch bend fillers to finish off this great release.

Once again Paco Osuna's Mindshake Records is proud to welcome back Egbert who returns with Lachgas EP, the label's 49rd release and Egbert's 3rd full EP for the label. 

Egbert's special skills both as a producer and highly acclaimed Live Act have attracted the attention of big names from the electronic scene: Secret Cinema, Sven Väth, Paco Osuna, Gregor Tresher and Adam Beyer are just a few of the DJs and producers who have detected the genius beneath the fingers of this slick young Dutchman. 

Accompanying the original work is an artist who is also no stranger to the Mindshake family. Toronto's Carlo Lio returns to the Barcelona-based label on Remix duties to offer his blistering take on the EP's title track.
