2023 - DJ sets - promising

Shaleen at HÖR - Jan 18 2022

A gift from us to you. ☆  For our final mix of 2023, we’re kicking off our TM8 Live series, where we share a selection of recorded sets from our events. First up, we’ve got a propulsive session from Radical Softness (@radicalsoftness). The Berlin-based DJ played for us in July and rallied the walls of Unit 58, taking us on an emotional ride through groovy, classic techno up to more modern, industrial tones. A resident of @rawmantique collective, they’re a regular fixture on the Berlin scene, so it felt extra special to have Radical Softness debut in London with us last summer.

DJ HEARTSTRING | HÖR - Jul 19 / 2022

Episode 61th of our podcast series is provided by Radical Softness. Berlin based and immersed into the queer techno scene for years, Radical Softness’s project name comes from the movement with the same name, which advocates the open disclosure of all forms of emotions, whether positive or negative. Radical softness is an artistic and aesthetic methodology in which vulnerability and presence become the starting point for encountering the Other.
They are similarly activist and try to share it with their music. Their storytelling sets combine uplifting tracks, fast paced, and raw punchy old school rhythms while often surprising the crowd. 
Expect high energy throughout the hour which has us definitely moving! Listen to the sound of Radical Softness here, enjoy!

RAIDER OF THE RAVE [015] - MZPERX

When it comes to the sound of modern-day techno—fast, melodic and polyglot, working in genres like trance and gabber—it's hard to find an artist more clearly representative than Anetha. The French DJ encompasses all these influences with style, landing on a lithe sound that's both heavy and nimble, earning her a first residency at Paris party Blocaus (and, currently, Awakenings and Fuse, among others) and appearances on labels like Work Them and Oaks.

What really sets Anetha apart, though, is her commitment to developing and uplifting the artists around her. She launched her own label, Mama Told Ya, in 2019 with a unique and heartwarming concept: each release would highlight an artist, often young or new to the game, and feature one collaboration with Anetha herself. It's a move that turns the usual label-artist dynamic on its head, making each new record a fully-fledged collaboration, and lending her own gravitas to the artist she features. And a year later she started an agency—or what she calls a "creative engine"—to help those artists in a more holistic way.

Her RA Podcast is a perfect way to start 2023: with energy and verve, and a perfect balance of light and dark. This is techno at its most creative, dark and discombobulated beats cut through with glowing vocal samples from some of the most recognizable songs of the past five years. If you wanted to explain to someone what techno sounds like in 2023, you'd do well to start here.

Vault Sessions #125 - Albert Zhirnov

We are super hyped to present the 050th edition featuring a super special set by Linear System , his sound is as elusive as his persona, his skills and output have snowballed over the last couple years, elevating him to somewhere among the best producers in the genre. 

It is a great pleasure to start the year with such an artist! 
Enjoy this journey!

HÖR - Jan 6 / 2023

It was a pleasure to show a different side of my DJ sets at my last session for @hoerberlin last friday 🐉

Awesome to see how well it worked to start with some deep dubby vibes and evolve into the banging groover atmosphere which I love so much to dance to 😍

Polygonia | HÖR - Jan 13 / 2023

@radicalsoftness, a name which, at first sight, seems controversial and yet has a very much deeper meaning. Being a somewhat radical person when it comes to vouching for values such as the right of self expression, establishment of safer spaces and FLINTA visibility in the scene. On the other hand being a radical person stands and falls with the softest part of any human – the inner self. 

On the musical side of the coin, Radical Softness immediately evokes a sense of warmth and force at the same time, which again represents the artistic direction of the name itself. 
Powerful rhythmic patterns go hand in hand with mellow synths – together on a mission to invite dancers to reach the subconscious in an almost therapeutic way. 
Radical Softness introduces repetition to you as the means to escape daily sorrows, to feel again and gain a few hours of freedom from a seemingly fast-paced and cold outside world.

Radical Softness’ desire to be a DJ already subconsciously began in 2013 when they started working at a local bar, where they quickly became the one in charge of the music playlists. This marks the beginning of following a path down the rabbit hole into a new universe and into digging through artists entire discographies. 
Their move to Berlin in 2015 further shaped their vision of music. By that time Radical Softness was already asking people in their circle to show them how to DJ, but never felt welcome enough to actually dive head first into the blue. 

In 2019 the switch luckily flicked, they stepped behind the decks, quickly gained recognition, especially through them well-received sets on HÖR Berlin and combined their deep music collection with the ability to quickly grasp how DJing works from the core. And yet, what we hear right now is just the beginning of what Radical Softness has to offer.

LDS (DJ-Set) for Tm8 @ FOLD, London (2.11.24)

Throwback to @britneyspeed closing @rso_berlin for our debut event in the German capital last summer. The Denmark-based producer and DJ blessed the floor with an all-vinyl closing set, gliding through bouncy techno, squishy acid, vintage trance and lots more. Take us back ! (◕ᴗ◕✿)♡

Revisiting Nina Pixina's (@ninapixina) cerebral opening set for our party in November at FOLD. The Transylvanian, London-based artist warmed up the space with hypnotic moods, shapeshifting  melodies and the more shadowy elements of techno; a perfect start to the night.

Nina has been a TM8 regular since we started out, and we've watched their journey as a DJ evolve over the years. We were so happy to invite Nina to play for us and enjoy their presence and energy from the DJ booth rather than the dancefloor.

Listen back to S3BA’s (@s_e_ba) set, recorded live from our last event at FOLD. The trans*disciplinary musician, artist, co-parent of MYTO and resident DJ for the Makaan record label and community played a beautiful set for us, shaped by spiralling melodies, wavey basslines and plenty of playful touches throughout.

Sevyn0000’s (@sevyn0000) set from our FOLD event in May is now available to listen back to in full. The New York-based producer and DJ shared a textured set with us that night, layered with psychedelic rhythms, spacious sound design and crunchy percussion. From the glitchy intro to the shadowy final track, we were hooked.
