✈ We are delighted to welcome American DJ and Producer from Chicago/Minneapolis, currently based in Berlin: JON HESTER.

Hailing from the Midwest US, Jon Hester is an embodiment of the movements, sounds, and attitude that have continued to push techno and house forward. His energy and enthusiasm brought him all the way from beginnings in Chicago and Minneapolis to his present home base of Berlin.

With music released on Rekids, Klockworks, Deeply Rooted, and performances worldwide at clubbing institutions such as Berghain Berlin, Rex Club Paris, fabric London, and Vent Tokyo, he is equally keen for the fresh intensity of newer clubs dotting South America and South Africa. Jon continues building on the very expression he connected with more than 25 years ago via his label, Participation, an outlet for his own output as well as collaborative efforts with fellow artists in the global techno and house community. The collaborations are realized through a reciprocal exchange of sketches between artists, with artwork consisting of a simple one-line drawing from Hester himself – underscoring the directness, honesty, and immediacy of the music presented.

Participation launched in October 2023 with a solo EP from Hester, followed by collaborations with Panorama Bar favorite Cassy, Madrid Techno figurehead Tadeo, Tokyo's legendary DJ Shufflemaster, Swedish mainstay Joel Mull, UK phenomenon The Advent, Icelandic icon Exos, American live act Lady Starlight, and Uruguayan upstart William Arist. With more projects in the works, Participation will continue to inspire, surprise, and delight listeners around the globe, with the impressive depth and breadth of Hester’s tastes and abilities on full display.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

PARADOX PODCAST #208 -- JON HESTER

Avant.OCS creates raw, hypnotic techno that balances intensity and depth. His mixes flow as carefully built journeys where heavy low-end grooves meet fine textures, and tribal rhythms meet spacious atmospheres. As founder and resident of OECUS, he’s helped shape the collective into a respected name in forward-thinking techno, curating over 400 podcasts and releases that emphasise community, discovery, and strong sonic identity. His own productions, including the concept-driven Prototype series, explore contrast and tension, turning subtle evolution into powerful movement.

This mix showcases a deep, atmospheric sound that still carries punch and drive. Built with patience and precision, it focuses on texture and flow rather than peaks, with a few unreleased tracks that hint at where his sound is heading next.

BCCO Mix Series 714: Avant.OCS

Herald of a sound both punishingly jagged and haunted by the long heritage of Dutch industrial music, U.F.F. boss and Axis alum Kole Leijen aka DJ Surgeles steps in with a two hour mix reflecting his hard-boiled headspace, sprawling steely uptempo landscapes and further rapid-fire bursts of enslaving machine funk. Running the hoodoo down with masterly precision and undeniable flair, Kole amps up the pressure through a chiselled montage of titanium-coated big room wares, kaleidoscopic hi-tech motifs and abstract-leaning analogue techno stunts. Prime yourself for a wild ride across metamorphic, future-proof atmospheres and whirring fractals of sound.

KHIDI Podcast 177: Hertz Collision

Lisbon-born CRAVO @cravomusic has shaped his sound through study,
community and a steady respect for swing and syncopation.
Trained in audiovisual arts, his first steps in music happened in
2007 through reggae and dub while at Caldas da Rainha.
PeterSmiling and the I’n’High Sound System gave him stages
and a first set of original tracks. In 2010 he turned to techno,
pivoting to a tempo and palette of textures that were once offlimits.

In 2011 he formed -2 [menosdois] with Vasco Guerreiro. The
duo explored the rougher edges of the genre and created small
experiments that were the blueprint for what was to come. That
circle widened in 2017 with HAYES Collective, a platform
CRAVO helped shape alongside his friends VIL, Temudo,
Nørbak, Enkō and Autrane. Together, they built a catalogue
and a following who listen closely and affectionately to its
output, quickly becoming one of Portugal’s leading techno
imprints.

Today, his sets and music releases share a clear internal
thread. Call it a vibe if needed. There is soul and a forward pull
in all of his work and his tracks carry the weight of a broad
musical experience. As a solo artist he focuses on techno and
house lineages that value emotion without losing drive.
CRAVO’s releases are spread across a multitude of labels,
notably on Klockworks, SK_Eleven and HAYES, with new steps
under his label Carícia. Curation is also part of the work. In
2021 he joined Enkō and VIL to start SUMMA, an event series
now regular at Outra Cena in Lisbon. The room’s postapocalyptic
architectural mood sets a frame for forward thinking
techno with hints of the classic school. Slots usually run long,
often three or four hours, and upcoming national artists are
given space to build trust with the crowd. The result feels a little
like a cult, restrained but powerful.

UNDER CLUB 004 | PERT

Blazej Malinowski’s Sensory Pressure LP unfolds across seven deep techno trips, starting with dreamy, rhythmic atmospheres and moving into trance-tinged pads, hypnotic 303 lines and melancholic grooves. The release shifts from sci-fi textures to intricate sequencing, ending with a flexible, elastic DJ tool. It’s a coherent journey that highlights Malinowski’s precise and imaginative sound design.

Preview: Blazej Malinowski - Sensory Pressure [WU107d]

Phonoholic (Original Mix)

“Network” expands the futuristic minimal vibe - its steady pulse intertwined with metallic details evokes the feeling of wandering through a digital labyrinth. 

Part of “Abstract Texture" EP. A tribute to the sounds that shaped techno and a statement of how it can resonate today - dark, minimal, and powerfully evocative. “Abstract Texture” is a four-track EP that pulls the listener into a dark, minimalist techno realm inspired by the aesthetics of the ’90s, yet sharpened with a modern edge. Raw, hypnotic rhythms blend with carefully sculpted atmospheres, creating an intense and deeply immersive experience.
