Dwelling the fringe between breaksy techno and the full-blown industrial sound, Madrid-born Berlin-based DJ and producer Kwartz goes clutch in the money-time with two straight hours of shadow-clad madness. With releases for Pole Group, 47, MORD and Semantica in his arsenal, it's safe to say the Spaniard knows how to treat a crowd to a brutal gut-churn via ever mind-bending selections and proper masterful tempo sovereignty. Buckle your belt, neck-snapping ride ahead.

Breaking the week in with the sound and the fury, Mould Audio boss Ruben Ganev pops by our podcast series with a couple hours of his signature deep-diving, skull-crushing wares. Merging a surgical and aggressive approach to programming with reverb-soaked, oceanfloor-like ambiences, the Sofia-based aesthete heaves us under the dark umbrella of his sunken imaginarium; lushly adorned with propulsive warehouse grooves, left-of-centre divagations and abysmal chasms to gladly let yourself get engulfed in. Neptunian techno at its finest.

Taking the helm of our podcast series this week, please welcome Brazilian producer Nicolas Vogler. Stepping up with a stormy two hours percolating the finest of hallucinated 4x4 synergies, deep-diving rave artillery and bass-powered cavalcades all geared up to knock your mind and senses askew at once, the NCLS head exec and SYXT/Mutual Rytm affiliate flies us off onto an unknown destination, halfway massive warehouse pound and more clinical, detail-oriented sound design. Lock in, blast out.

A surefire provider in Amsterdam’s well-furnished techno community, Hitam has been making a name for himself with some choice platters for the likes of SYXT, Hayes and Room Trax over the last couple of years. Championing a sound as ebulliently driving as it invites us to dip our toes into further hazy sonic grounds, the Dutch producer swings the pendulum betwixt racing 909-fuelled horsepower and more subdued, fearsome climates. As ever clinical in his approach and deadly in his execution, Hitam has us tripping out to a hefty-handed two hours of relentless tech rage and hypnotic sound design laced into one smouldering hodgepodge of whelming, non-stop gusty sonics. Not for the faint-hearted.

Shpongle, No Turn Un-Stoned (from Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland), edited with sliding stretch and various effects, with a little lo-fi vibe and new contrasts...

original track : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3umE1EOirOE

lyrics : I am I am
I am I am
I am I am
I am I am
Like a madman groping in a dark room
Seek the light to burn away the gloom
I’ve lost my mind but my feelings are true
Everything I do, I offer to you
Now I’ve found you
We can make our own luck
Devour me first, or I shall eat you up
Come close your eyes, wake yourself from these dreams
Reality is ripping at the seams
Ripping at the seams
Ripping at the seams
Ripping at the seams
Come close your eyes at last and wake yourself from evil dreams
Come drown with me in love’s deep and shoreless sea
Together we’ll escape so take my hand and let us fly to Shpongleland
Together we will float away away
Float away
I plunge along into the boundless ocean of you
The ocean of you
Come drown with me in love’s deep and shoreless sea
We wander in and out of our heads, no turn unstoned, all words unsaid
Together we will float away away
Float away

Hailing from the Netherlands, Flits has made a name for himself over the last couple of years thanks to a series of hard-boiled, uptempo-paced records that bridge the gap between straight out industrial grooves and Birmingham-style traction. True to the powerhouse approach that’s come to define his releases for Molekül, Antidote and his own eponymous platform, Flits steps in the series with a two-hour orgy of mechanistic brutality and sweeping step moves ready to buckle all knees in the vicinity. A no-miss for all lovers of heavy-duty tech business, blast this one out accordingly. Loud and heavy.

A rising name in Berlin’s ever crowded pool of talents, Eerste Communie resident Windfuhr has been developing his own idiosyncratic persona at the junction of heavy-traction 4x4 rhythms and deep, hypnotic folds of intricate melodies and exotica-laced electronics. Minimal in essence but maximal in effect, his compositions bridge the gap between stripped-back functionality and dreamy escapology, neatly coordinating the throbbing cavalcade of racy uptempo machine funk with layered, modular-like transmissions as his feverish drum programming leads the charge. No doubt Windfuhr’s name is one you’ll hear a lot more in 2024.

Hailing from Tbilisi, Georgia, Uväll epitomizes his hometown's fearless approach towards quality club music. Pushing sounds that transcend the mere scope of techno per se, Uväll's blends stretch from no-nonsense gridlocked firepower onto off-piste digressions into brooding atmospherics and further heavy-duty experimentality. The resulting effort is nothing short of wild and entrancing, casting its net far and deep into techno’s wide spectrum of potentialities and tweaking them to eleven. A mind-bending missile of a mix, riding at breakneck speed from brutalist pound to zero-G elevation with untamed snazz and jazz. Harness the storm.

010 - MAASYM

(interview below)
Maasym, originally from near Frankfurt/Main and now based in Hamburg, stands for hypnotic, atmospheric techno with refined sound design. He has been active in the scene since 2015, founded his own label Vorm last year and has released on renowned labels such as Token Records, Illegal Alien, Flash Recordings and Planet Rhythm. His style is characterised in particular by the organic, raw sound that he consciously incorporates into his productions.

INTERVIEW
You founded your own label ‘Vorm’ last year. Was there a specific moment or thought that gave the go-ahead for this project?

There wasn't a specific moment for the starting shot, rather a thought. Many of the tracks that were being played and released at the time often sounded very similar to me and also a bit uncreative. I got a bit bored with the scene at the end of 2023, beginning of 2024 and came up with the idea of launching a new label and releasing tracks in the subgenre that I play or listen to a lot myself. I also wanted to give something to the scene and push artists who work hard, are creative and have their own style. But also, of course, to be able to decide for myself what to do with the music I produce. I then decided to kick things off with a record release.

Is there a track of yours that has a special emotional meaning for you?

My track ‘Intermediate Direction’ has a special meaning for me. I started making music in my teenage bedroom when there were no masterclasses or private courses. I sat in front of Ableton and my synthesiser for hours, trying to make my tracks sound like the music I was listening to. One label that I really loved back then (2016) was ‘Token’. Accordingly, the track means a lot to me and I am very happy that I got the chance to release on ‘Token’. Personally, it's still one of my favourite tracks.

Is there any other art form, apart from music, that inspires or excites you?

I listen to a lot of techno & hip-hop/rap, but I'm also a big rock and heavy metal fan. In general, this organic sound from the 70s, 80s or even 90s totally inspires me. There's a lot of life in it and it can often be very ‘rough’ and ‘dirty’. I always try to get this ‘life’ into my tracks when I record my patches or sequences. It doesn't always have to be perfectly produced. Sometimes it's more about the vibe that you feel at that moment when you're making music. Even if the sound is a bit too filtered or creaky.

Initially schooled to the feverish sound of rattling jungle drums and amen breaks under the Pyro alias, Troels Baunbæk-Knudsen has vamped up his sound from stem to stern, laying the foundation to a techno body of work both inherently raw and inch-perfectly executed.
