Techno

The musical intent of the Grenoble-based artist Binary Digit is rooted in an undefined style that sits at the crossroads between acid techno, braindance and electro. This results in a melodious whole together, with a touch of melancholy.
Through the use of magnetic tapes, outdated software and synthesizers, Binary Digit allows these diverse musical influences to melt into unique and overpowering sounds that never fail to arouse deep emotions.
After several albums released on Opal Tapes and Stochastic Releases, contributions on various compilations, and EPs dropped by Dream Ticket or Zeitnot, in 2021 Binary Digit launches his label Postal Code Records. Its first release, From Berriat To Pitteurs is the product of a brilliant collaboration with the Belgian producer Victor Ziegler - enough to make us crave to discover the exciting upcoming projects that the label has in store for us.

Which artist has influenced you the most?

- It's hard to pick one, but to narrow it down roughly I'll pick "AFX" on "Analord 9".


What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Some releases from mine as well as other artists are to be expected soon on my tape label Postal Code Records. I also got a few singles coming on some cool labels, stay tuned !


Which artists/labels are more relevant to you now?

- I could say labels like WeMe, Clone, Stilleben or many that have a consistent output over decades. It's to hard to pick just a few favorites =/


What inspires you now to create music?

- Computers, boredom and sleep deprivation.

Strange But Dance Music #153: Binary Digit

Sardinian born Aritmia Sonora is now based in Amsterdam, exploring the intersections of experimental electronic music and bass culture. While his passion for field recordings carries his creativity back and forth from his studio to landscapes overseas, the Dutch city lights are made for digging fresh wax and building community. Niccolò is also curating Decadance, a platform which recently debuted as a record label, by announcing the release of “Rizoma Granulare”, out on March the 31st.

Camion Bazar : THE SPLIT - 03 Mai 2025

DJ MELL G (@djmellg) is one of the most authentic artists to emerge from the electronic music realm in recent years. The Hamburg-based DJ, producer, and founder of the label JUICY GANG RECORDS has found her sound in the shades of electro, breakbeat, techno, and EBM, mutating these textures to form her own surgically precise signature. 

A string of career-defining B2Bs with Helena Hauff, DJ Stingray 313 are just a handful of highlights in her trajectory so far. DJ MELL G's debut album 'ISSUES', released in 2023 on her label JUICY GANG RECORDS, showcased her most steely and personal collection to date. It received critical acclaim from Resident Advisor and support from Vogue.

This mix features a selection of upcoming new bangers that haven't been released by her or her label yet, making it a must-listen. Moving from acid techno to UK bass and wrapping up with bass-heavy electro, it highlights the sounds that define her unique style.

PURE Guest.081 DJ MELL G

On June 27, 2025, a long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records—their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback.

Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of BLOKK).

Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk—a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection—a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing.

In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole.

From the opening crawl of C4 (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of MOTHERJAM via the intense peaks of BLOKK, 707, and classic acid track 3D it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

In the space of two short years Shlømo has quickly established himself alongside the likes of Marcelus, Bambounou, Francois X and the Antinote Records crew as a key figure in Paris’ current techno generation. Having established his own Taapion Records label in 2013 and built a roster around a core of local producers including Roman Poncet, PVNV and Antigone, in addition to enlisting Stephen Brown, Conforce and Sterac as remixers for the label’s releases so far.

For its fifth release, Bright Sounds - run by fellow Parisian Kennedy Smith - revisits last year’s Rechaïm ‎EP (BSRX003), with a trio of remixers offering their own takes on Shlømo’s established deep and expansive sound.

First up is the aforementioned 50 Weapons artist Bambounou, who offers a dynamic groove-based version of the title track that bounces along an elastic kick drum with cut-up fragments of the original’s atmospheric pads providing further impetus.  Label owner Kennedy Smith takes on Theory Is The Worst by bringing its dub textures to the for while filling the track’s empty spaces with intricate drum patterns.

Finally, Italian techno pioneer Donato Dozzy turns Grounded Queen into a classic Dozzy slow-burning techno trip, with his trademark layered sound complimenting the track’s subtle rhythmic backbone.

LAD027 DJ Tennis - Divisions / Chirality - preview

https://www.facebook.com/lifeanddeathforever
https://www.facebook.com/tennisdj

“You know it's true, don't you?" You know it's true, sometimes emotions can be darn unsettling and disturbing – as they flow deep down our consciousness uncovering fears, thoughts and feelings. Yes, if we're focused too much on our personal hedonistic euphorias, sometimes we lose that... It gets lost; You know it's true. You may know it's true.

Manfredi Romano aka Dj Tennis shapes this treasure, a release that is decisively out of the box; a small cathedral made of subtle shades and unusual EQ's, where ideas seduce and frighten.

That's “Divisions”, led by Danish singer and guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg. Who's words and voice are carefully crafted as a precious, poisoning weapon of concern and bewilderment; as it is “Chirality” a deep, insistent, gelid voyage. Which distinctively in this round, We find ourselves not only with Tennis' masterful production skills but also the astounding addition of Sophie Trudeau's string work – she's been the driving force behind the string sections of legendary Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You Black Emperor, one of the most dark, cinematic and unsettling rock acts of the last decades – which really ads a poignant and visionary mood and emotions we rarely encounter and by that we can rarely breathe.

The original edits have been respectfully and creatively revisited by techno pioneer Roman Flügel, who masterfully rubs “Divisions”; turning it into a sensual, devious, laid down affaire. Lastly, closing the ride , the legendary English duo Plaid - true masters and innovators within the Intelligent Dance Music field- grace “Chirality” with their very own touch made of alien sounds, mutant rhythm architectures, warm dynamics and heartbreaking melodic caresses that iconically represents their visions.
