Techstil @ Muumimaa - Borderland 2023

Wednesday night 23:00-01:00 by @techstil

Marcus comments on the mix: 
Inspired by the warm bassy soundsystem and the moomin-house itself, i decided to explore the trippy side of the house with a mix of swingy afro-house and tracks from old-school  heros like Delano Smith (who is currently fundraising for cancer treatment, link here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/delano-smith-rare-cancer-treatment-fundraiser )  Also revisiting Claptone’s 2012 release “Cream”, and mixing it with some new tracks from Giegling’s Map.ache. A few blast from the pasts with a deep Timo Maas remix of Moby’s Porcelain, and a recent tasteful remake of R.E.M’s Losing my religion. Last part of the set I got company behind the decks as my old b2b friend Bjornson came by for some action (AKA “Fathers with different lawyers”)… Also thanks Alex Esser for swinging by and putting on that epic Booka shade track… The last track - “2000 Freaks Come out” - was a tribute to Borderland, and especially Muumimaa, and it felt like the roof almost came back off the house… 😉 I had the most amazing time behind the decks seeing such vibrant energy on the dancefloor… thank you all for gifting such a vibrant dancefloor, and big thanks for the moomin-crew for gifting borderlands best sound and friendliest artist-hosting with a constant flow of good vibes and lovely drinks!

Schooled as a classical cellist, Techstil combines the hypnotic rhythm of techno with warm acoustic presence, and timeless geometrical melodies. Growing up with Kraftwerk he fell in love with analogue synthesizers at early age, and by 2006 he started DJ’ing in the underground clubs of Malmö. By 2008 he  followed the Basic Channel-beats to Berlin to participate in the evolution of the Berlin sound. After 4 years in Berlin he turned to a warmer slower sound, inspired by heavy base from Panorama bar, and never-ending weekends at Bar25... After many years in Helsinki, Finland he recently moved to Stockholm where he plays hypnotic deep house and dubby techno from labels like Sol Selectas, Giegling, Molt, Hypnus, Trolldans, Permanent Vacation and Diynamic
