Technoslave_69 joins for DifferentSound Podcast #173.

Born and raised in the deserts of Cairo, Egypt, Technoslave69 grew up in a very conservative culture. In the search of freedom he relocated to Amsterdam where his musical career as an artist began to blossom. For him, techno has never just been a matter of musical taste; rather, it's a form of protest against the limitations on self-expression. Technoslave69's energetic and club-focused sound symbolizes his own journey towards liberation and his desire to inspire others.

DifferentSound invites Technoslave_69 / Podcast #173

Hold on tight, off the bench come Bangalore duo Audio Units, inbound for two hours of big-room pyrotechnics and gravity-defying manoeuvres. Mix in fevered drum gusts smacking the oomph-o-metre askew, mind-expanding, sci-fi-indebted momentums and a surgical ear for chiseling cutting-edge textures out the deepest deep, and you pretty much get a solid reflection of Audio Unit’s compelling sonic DNA. Hopscotching their way across weatherbeaten 4x4 landscapes, through Bauhausian brutalism and climactic dub divagations, this is techno cut in the silkiest cloth, and primed for total floor obliteration.

The title track of Harvey McKay’s ‘DV8’ EP on Rekids Special Projects starts with driving, shuffling drums shot through with jazz-inflected chord stabs. It’s techno with an authentic soul feel yet perfectly suited to work the dancefloor and sets the tone for the rest of the tracks.

Up next, ‘Footstep’ sees the Scottish McKay fuse an evocative vocal with organ riffs and more powerful and raw drum work before ‘Rasta Woman’, where the Soma, Cocoon, UNCAGE, and Bedrock artist once again pushes his drum machines by blending hard-hitting rhythms with earworm vocal snippets, closing out a club-ready release brimming with attitude.

“With so much focus on playing it safe with music these days, with this release, I felt I really needed to push myself to innovate and create new fusions of styles, cultures, and musical influences in techno, as I feel that's what keeps the scene alive in the long run.” - Harvey McKay.

Spandau20, an imprint named after the Western Berlin district and focused on artists from the area, delivers techno in all diverse forms – from warehouse and electronic peak time beats to breaks and IDM, balancing the old and new school sounds flawlessly. With a focus on vinyl releases, for the collectors, Spandau20 has lately also focused on its label nights, with showcases at Fabric, Bassiani and many others.

The label’s 10th release features 10 tracks that epitomise the musical diversity of Spandau20 and the progressive musical mindset of its roster, calling on the label favourites and Spandau natives to deliver brand new and exciting music. This special release even features one track that all artists have worked on together: ‘Come Closer’, a swarming, slithering beginning featured as the VA’s opener. Its barely coherent female vocal echoing amidst a cacophony of demon-like effects.

The chilling ambience captured at the offset transcends into the first full length track by Elli Acula, ‘Floating Eyes’, a cur characterised by an authoritative, pounding bass featuring calculated percussive rolls and metallic overtones to make for a face-scrunching opener to this devilish collection of works. FJAAK follow for the first of twin cameo appearances, partnering up with fellow live supremo and hardware aficionado KiNK. On ‘Overbridge’ the trio deliver a cavernous, rolling number driven by a deep thrumming bass in addition to a razor-edged lead synth, and pulsating technopattern. Dajusch is known for incorporating his years of classical study in with his immersive musical style – and with his VA effort the Berlin native neatly showcases this. Easing the energy slightly, ‘Move’ escalates from its warm, melodic intro into rumbling goliath of a beat comprising a looping, slew of gassy harmonics. 

The momentum of the release shifts considerably with the introduction of acutely versatile producer, DJ and sound artist Claus. The artist from Spandau leans his track ‘Bloomscroll’ towards sparse, dubby sonics in which he intricately ties together to form churning, burgeoning soundscape. FJAAK jolt proceedings back into the techno groove with their signature blend of arresting sub-bass and reverberating rhythms, which come thick, fast and heavy on ‘Jackfruit’. The abstract wonder of Anna Z’s broken-beat like stylings is fully explored on ‘Icy Liq’. It’s outlandish and amorphous in its execution, causing a clattering percussive chaos that’s choicely pieced together by the modular-extraordinaire. Nikk stealthy moves into breaks territory with his track ‘Down In The Shadows’, packing a trap-like snare with an acid-flecked melody and dawn-breaking, dream-like textures. The penultimate track on the VA is ‘Tufted’. J.Manuel expertly employs a chorus of robot-like sonics that course through a short-circuiting low-end to produce a pacy, inescapable journey via a whirling, merciless beat. He is joined by the legendary producer Tobi Neumann for their menacingly ambient number titled ‘Fennec.’ In parts a nod to UK dubstep, the duo concocts a fierce admixture of styles bolstering tribal-like components with industrialised overtones and methodically crafted drum-fills.
