Radio Drama 38 | Deniro

Nadia Struiwigh immediately turned heads with her debut album, Lenticular, on CPU Records. It wasn't her first record, but it was an auspicious release at an auspicious time for a label that was at the centre of a revival of early '90s IDM and electro styles. You could use those terms to describe Dutch producer Struiwigh's music, but you'd have to also mention ambient—just check out her last album, Pax Aurora, for Rotterdam powerhouse Nous'klaer Audio—and techno, which is the subject of her new RA Podcast.

Those familiar with Struiwigh only through her records might be surprised by this mix, which is over two hours of alternately atmospheric and pummeling techno. It highlights the versatility and potential of the genre, as well as Struiwigh's own outlook on it. She was a techno DJ before she started making the softer, weirder stuff, and she can recognize the music's innate emotional qualities, even at its most functional. As she says below, her intention is to "glue the best of both worlds" to create a "rare energy" with her DJing and production.

Awakenings Podcast S222 - .VRIL

For the last two decades Shinedoe has been doing exactly what her name symbolises. Through her various endeavours the Amsterdam-born and raised artist has been on a mission to move people through music, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually too.

Since starting DJing at the age of 19 she's been driven by the deep and soulful sounds of Detroit and Chicago, and pioneering artists like Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson.

She took matters into her own hands by starting her Inmotion parties back in 2001 and refined her skills as a DJ in the process. The party was renamed to Intacto a few years later, coinciding with the launch of her co-run label of the same name which served as a platform for much of her own releases including three of her long players. Other labels came knocking too; the likes of Ibadan and Cocoon also housed her characteristically powerful grooves, and later down the line, a new platform of her own: Music That Moves. 

The label, launched in 2018, perfectly sums up her outlook as a whole. A place for her own productions, she's been able to immortalise her long-term musical vision which seeks to show the sensual, soulful side of techno - the latest example being her Freedom Riders LP which came out in October. 

Her mix for us showcases exactly that. Percussive and pacy, it's a collection of shimmering techno, electro and breaks (inclusive of her own productions) that's fluid and effortless from the get-go.

REC 005 w/ Steve Rachmad

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

A living legend is added to our REC series. Relive the memorable set of Steve Rachmad, the man with numerous aliases, including Sterac, recorded in our Room 01. As you would expect from the Dutch DJ and producer, his performance reflects more than two decades of clubbing and perfecting a sound that is often attributed to his adopted home of Detroit. ﻿

Two hours set of a languid ascension, filled with unsettling yet reassuring tracks all the way through. Add varied influences, some heavy groove, a big pinch of skill, and you get his trademark. There is no doubt why the artist has been performing for so many years, and this recording is further irrefutable evidence.

Steve Rachmad — Recorded live at Fuse Brussels (28/05/22)

Here's almost 5 hours of me and DJ Pete having a load of fun playing whatever we want at the Globus floor of Tresor in Berlin on 15th October 2022 as part of the '30 Years of Surgeon' night. Enjoy!

Reclaim Your City 519 | Efdemin (Berlin) 

Who better than DIAL stalwart Efdemin could wrap up the year on such a distinctly class-act type of note? Probably no one. He who’s become an absolute gem trader over the years through a string of epoch-making efforts, including the time-proof masterpiece that is “Decay” in 2014, drops by to grace us with a mesmeric Xmas tale by way of waving goodbye to 2022. Extruding elements of techno deepness out their usual cast to mingle them with that exploratory, jazz-inflected approach of his - subtly pairing the lingering beauty of stretched-out synths with that of free-flowing 4x4 grooves and haunting melodies, Efdemin entices us on a path of delectably focused and flavourful techno sensibility. An absolute pleasure and honour for us to round off 2022 in such good company.

Reclaim Your City  

Reclaim Your City 519 | Efdemin

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun, and so it is that we’ve already raced up to podcast number 200. We’ve managed to call upon a suitably large name for the honour; someone who has very much shaped the techno scene over the course of the last 20 years and continues to excite people every time he plays. That man is Surgeon. As a performer, Birmingham’s Anthony Childs was one of the first men to embrace and exploit the possibilities of Ableton Live and Final Scratch. His mastery of that technology made his sets even more improvised and innovative, and over the years he has never compromised his vision. He plays with a sense of devastation and destruction that explores the very outer edges of what is possible, while always keeping the dance floor absolutely locked in. It’s been the same since he founded his hometown’s first techno club, House of God, at the start of the 90s. 

As a producer—whether solo or in celebrated collaborations with Regis as British Murder Boys or Ben Sims as Frequency 7—he seems to be getting better with age. Right from his first EP on Karl O’Connor’s Downwards in 1994, surgeon has had a hard hitting, linear style that remains to this day. Recent years saw him return to a primitive rave style and incorporate the gritty industrial influences of his youth. But in 2018 he evolved again and served up what many consider to be his best album in years. Luminosity Device features a more rhythmic, playful sense of drum programming next to his meticulously crafted synths and enthralling sense of urgency and future paranoia. The nuance in his tracks is now as intriguing as the visceral power of the kicks, and it all adds up to an album that works as well on headphones, at home, as it does on the dance floor. It’s proper techno by a proper techno head. 

And so is the mix he has put together for us. Over 1 hour 45 minutes, the man calls upon plenty of pivotal names from Juan Atkins and Oscar Mulero to Donato Dozzy and James Ruskin. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way, so that zoned out passages of dubbed out drums are followed by intergalactic space battles and moments of synth laden intensity. It’s a testament to Surgeon’s skills that he can take you to such far ranging corners of the techno world without ever getting lost.
