IAR382 - Kevin Villa - Echoes from the 9th Floor

The Berlin-based DJ and producer Bidoben’s sound merges the spiritual with the physical. Drawing on a lifelong relationship with music, beginning with instruments in his youth and evolving into textured electronic production; his work channels rhythm, emotion, and tension in equal measure.

With releases on Clergy, Truncate, and most recently Sublunar, Bidoben’s output leans into the hypnotic side of techno: deep, percussive and full of layered detail. His brand new EP “Torment” showcases this perfectly, moving from high-impact floor tools to more introspective sonic sketches, all rooted in a desire to evoke something beyond the surface.

Inspired by nature, film and the metaphysical, Bidoben brings a cinematic, almost meditative quality to the booth; crafting sets that are immersive, driving, and emotionally resonant.

For #258, he delivers a journey that blends precision with pulse. Techno designed to move both the body and the mind.

Vault Sessions #258 - Bidoben

Rooted in techno’s pulse and aimed squarely at the dancefloor, USAW’s sound is as hypnotic as it is groovy. Decorated with shimmering melodic textures, they deliver performances that are emotional yet explosive. Their philosophy is simple: create a singular experience without ever losing the beat. 

Already no strangers to iconic stages like Berlin’s Tresor, they bring the same dynamic energy to this week’s podcast: a high-octane set recorded live at Slate in Milan on April 4th.

For #259, USAW locks into a rolling momentum. Raw, radiant, and built to move.

Tune in through our Soundcloud as always.

Vault Sessions #260 - GLASKIN

Release date (vinyl & digital): 12th of September 2025

TRACKLIST:
A1: Flashback
A2: W9Y
B1: Ascender
B2: Break Nation

INFO:

Unmistakable are the sonic experiments of Spanish alchemist ORBE; with this fresh release on Token. ORBE’s iconically viscous textures and impactful percussion weasel their way into ‘Ascender’ for a deeper release on Kr!z’s label. Thick, brooding atmospheres drive these tracks into stories of pursuit and escape throughout its four tracks.  

A slick, pulsating low end in ‘Flashback’ stands out as a first impression for an imposing EP. Electric leads zip by for maximum psychosis; he’s known for his uncompromising dissonance and drive. A staple of the Spanish scene, ORBE bites down hard on deep and hypnotic techno to resonate through concrete warehouses. This jagged edge to club music continues through ‘W9Y’ - a more drum-forward cut with noisy transitions and breathable synthwork. Sharper stabs occupy this space as opposed to the track’s predecessor and tension is maintained with a lingering pad in the background. A meditative conclusion for the A side, ORBE quickly shifts his attention in the titletrack ‘Ascender’. Emphasizing tone and tune on the kick, the lead comes with confrontation. Rolling through shifting hats, the producer brings boiling tension through minimal arrangement and the weight of his sound design - a skillset only the most seasoned artists can claim. To close things out, ‘Break Nation’ does just that - cutting off the traditional four/four rhythm and instead presenting itself as a bass stepper. With ORBE’s classic unison packed synths, this dweller presents a whole other perspective on ‘Ascender’. A hybrid of influences and yet still destined for the techno dancefloor, this breath of fresh air serves as deep dive into the subconscious for an eyes-closed experience.

TRUNCATE9 Preview

After being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's in Los Angeles, a teenage David Flores was hooked. He started DJing across Southern California on the DIY warehouse, backyard, desert, and rave circuit. His style then was as varied as the local scene - a myriad of sounds ranging from house to acid to techno to hardcore. After a few years solely DJing, he began releasing original music under the monikers David F & Audio Injection, which landed him on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & LA label Droid Recordings. His association with Droid Behavior began in 2003 as resident at the now defunct yet infamous and internationally acclaimed Interface event series alongside Drumcell and Raiz. He currently runs a new event series together with Drumcell and Oktaform named “Observe”.

In early 2011, he started the project Truncate to focus on the deeper, raw side of techno. His Truncate releases early on gained critical acclaim from world class underground talent such as Modeselektor, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Eats Everything, Joris Voorn, and many more. Since then, he has provided remixes for artists across the musical spectrum including Kink, Slam, Loco Dice, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Ellen Alien, Miss Kittin, Carl Cox & Nicole Moudaber. He has also released original works on 50 Weapons, Ultramajic, Blueprint, Ei8ht, Figure and of course his own imprint Truncate. He has also collaborated with Jimmy Edgar, Chambray and most recently started a new project with Ben Sims as ‘Assailants’ which they’ve released on their own imprint ‘Obscurity Is Infinite’.

A rigorous international tour schedule has since followed, including stops and regular appearances at the most prestigious venues and events, including Berghain in Berlin, Fabric in London, Concrete in Paris, The Movement Festival in Detroit, Womb in Tokyo, Dimensions Festival in Croatia, Awakenings in Amsterdam, Output in New York, and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is still no slowing down for David. He continues to shape an evolving sound and to champion the Los Angeles underground.
