Detroit Techno DJ Mixes

Dear Friends🚀🥁,

We wish you were here, there, or anywhere to celebrate with us 25 years of Cocoon.

On our birthday, the big 25, we have a special present which please share and enjoy with us.

Sven went boldly where no one had gone before and created Cocoon. And we have never stopped - until the world did.

The 30th April 1996 is where it all began. This has to be the right moment to present the very first bit of our, let’s say it, influential history.

We hope you love it as much as we do. Just click, then wish us a Happy 25th Birthday, press play, and of course, turn it up. We miss you
❤

We can’t imagine a better way to close out the year than to have one of our heroes and all time favorites on the Spandau20 mixtape series. 
There are few people that have inspired us as much as Surgeon @dynamic-tension, be it with his timeless, forward thinking productions or one of his out of this world live sets that he is so famous for 🎛️
Although it's been a tough year,  moments like this and many others in 2021 make us feel incredibly happy and inspire us to keep on pushing forward ⚡ 
Thanks to everyone (fans, artists, promoters, friends etc.)
who is supporting us on this journey, you are the best, and please enjoy the Surgeon Mix!

Dave Angel live at 909 Festival, Amsterdamse Bos - 28th May 2022

Perhaps best-loved for his dynamic take on techno in both his productions and his DJ sets — having been involved and around music for nearly 30 years, @DVS1 is an expert in his field, a true veteran of the scene whose roots extend beyond DJing into grassroots raves and event promotion in his native Minneapolis. 

These days, he continues to push his own limits, getting involved in and starting up projects that fuel his love of music, but also his love of the community he was raised in and helped build. His most recent venture, Aslice, is a software-based platform which proposes a fairer music ecoysystem for DJs and promoters is in its early days, but its concept is bringing up questions for both me and Zak. 

For episode 47, we're exploring the value of art, the definition of success, his own personal perceptions of his worth as an artist.

FWL 002 | Lonefront 

For the second instalment of our live mix series we have American producer and selector, providing an hour from a party in Minneapolis, Minnesota - where he is currently based. 

Lately, Lonefront has been working on developing alternative tuning systems and new approaches to programming sound. This mix contains fragments of these experiments, with deep driving bass and hypotonic rhythms effortlessly intertwined.

REC 005 w/ Steve Rachmad

The REC series compiles outstanding performances recorded in the club throughout the year, highlighting artists representing our love for electronic music.

A living legend is added to our REC series. Relive the memorable set of Steve Rachmad, the man with numerous aliases, including Sterac, recorded in our Room 01. As you would expect from the Dutch DJ and producer, his performance reflects more than two decades of clubbing and perfecting a sound that is often attributed to his adopted home of Detroit. ﻿

Two hours set of a languid ascension, filled with unsettling yet reassuring tracks all the way through. Add varied influences, some heavy groove, a big pinch of skill, and you get his trademark. There is no doubt why the artist has been performing for so many years, and this recording is further irrefutable evidence.

Reclaim Your City 519 | Efdemin (Berlin) 

Who better than DIAL stalwart Efdemin could wrap up the year on such a distinctly class-act type of note? Probably no one. He who’s become an absolute gem trader over the years through a string of epoch-making efforts, including the time-proof masterpiece that is “Decay” in 2014, drops by to grace us with a mesmeric Xmas tale by way of waving goodbye to 2022. Extruding elements of techno deepness out their usual cast to mingle them with that exploratory, jazz-inflected approach of his - subtly pairing the lingering beauty of stretched-out synths with that of free-flowing 4x4 grooves and haunting melodies, Efdemin entices us on a path of delectably focused and flavourful techno sensibility. An absolute pleasure and honour for us to round off 2022 in such good company.

Sandrien - Resident Advisor Podcast  / RA.416

In the history of germany's night clubbing there are a few spaces that are probably held in higher regard than Ultraschall. Munich's gone but not forgotten famous ULTRASCHALL (june 17.1994 - january 31.2003) used to be the Southern German metropolitan’s wildest and most open-minded venue for techno and other game forms of electronic music like House, Future Minimal and IDM. It finally became one of a few real German techno club legends till today. The driving force(s) behind all used to be Peter Wacher (Disko B records) also known as DJ Upstart, Captain Reality and David Süß, where the whole world league of Techno and House DJs used to play at this club. 

"I will never, never forget so many great nights there. If you are listening carefully to this mix you can hear the people there scream." Psycho Thrill founder Claus Bachor "played here regularly d2000 magazine and Psycho Thrill club specials since 1995 like 'Detroit Pandemonium' 2gether with our buddies Roland Casper, Mick Wills, Derrick Thompson or Thomas Barnett alongside Ultraschall residents like DJ Hell, Lester Jones, Dominik Schuster or Acid Maria."

Starting with DJ Bone's "Black Lives" (Subject Detroit 001) the mix features a fast and hard driven - typical for this time on Techno floors - pandemonium of Detroit Techno or Planet Detroit rooted tracks by iO (Erdem Tunakan, Gerhard Potuznik, Herbert Gollini, Patrick Pulsinger), Twonz, Dark Comedy (Kenny Larkin), DJ Bone (Subject Detroit), Yanu, Ontoni, Kevin Saunderson (Reese Project / E-Dancer), Claude Young, DJ T-1000 (Alan Oldham), Convextion (Gerard Hanson), Model 500 (Juan Atkins), The Vision (Robert Hood), Anthony 'Shake' Shakir, Keith Tucker aka K-1, Jeff Mills (Millsart / X-101), Vapourspace (Mark Gage), Designer Music (Carl Craig), Vainqueur (René Löwe), LFO vers. F.U.S.E., K-Hand, Blake Baxter, X-102 (Underground Resistance), Plastikman (Richie Hawtin) amongst a few others ...

The three-hour live recording was fortunately backed up to three TDK-60 tapes and left to the "Psycho Thrill" crew thanks to 'Frau Gabi' (responsible for the light & visual animations at the  ULTRASCHALL). While the first tape was already digitized quickly by Emanuel Geller (SALZ MUSIC-Mastering)in 2000 and was also given as a free-give-away "Detroit Pandemonium (a tribute 2 Detroit)" mix CD to the Cologne Psycho Thill clubbers, the second and third tape temporarily disappeared into the turmoil of a divorce and a resultant move. Recently, a fortunate circumstance owed again, those these "lost recordings" will be ready soon either for the Soundcloud download here. So here's one more Psycho Thrill / ULTRASCHALL (Tanzdiebe) recording from 2003 ...

Music by Kraftwerk – Mixed by Billy Nasty

DVS1 came up as a raver in the Midwest, throwing techno parties for over 20 years and getting up to mischief, often next to huge stacks of speakers that still influence him to this day. He is now well-established as a vital DJ and resident at Berghain and Panorama Bar. 

This mix is something special and a side of DVS1 normally not heard or recorded! A true digger and passionate record collector running the eclectic Mistress Recordings and the more pure techno label HUSH. Here he crosses into house territory for a special dekmantel mix. 

Of the podcast we have here, he says, “This mix is two hours of a four hour rare “house” set recorded LIVE in Sept 2017 at an undisclosed location. I make it a point not to release many mixes and while most people know and follow me for my techno sets, this mix is for those who dig a little deeper and appreciate it all… Enjoy!" There is still a real sense of pace to the mix as it glides effortlessly though flurries of percussion into vocal numbers, cosmic curveballs and piano laced anthems. It’s a fascinating insight into a whole other side of one of techno’s foremost talents.

In a time when the techno world often can give the impression of “the harder, the better”, Voiski has a different approach. He is not afraid to admit he wants his music and DJ-sets to contain groove. Coming from an art school background (something that continuously keeps informing his work as a musician), he is one of the most analytical constructive artists on the scene, well aware of his own process, continuously examining it as he goes further.

A Guy Called Gerald - 25 September 2020

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
Selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
House music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
You're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
Desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
Our house and our house music. And in every house, you
Understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
Is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!
- Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers -
