We are back with our 8th artist who’s ready to give you some fast-paced, hard hitting techno straight from our very own capital city Brussels - of course we're talking about the young Jan Vercauteren. 

Vercauteren has been coming up really fast in the international techno scene with his tracks being played by the likes of SPFDJ, AnD, and Regal to name a few - which helps explain his quickly growing career. When he’s behind the decks, Vercauteren usually starts his sets at 145 BPM minimum and likes to take it up from there, known for saturated kicks and warped acid lines destined for warehouses and large-capacity parties.

Every episode ends with a question pointed towards our community. Want to get involved? Then join our 'Voltage Community' on Facebook or follow our Instagram account (voltage.festival).

Based in Brussels, Altinbas has been at the forefront of techno production and mixing for the past few years. His acute knowledge of sound design allows him to create layered elements rich enough to allow for minimalism without losing the track’s body. Since his first record release in 2015, his style - naturally - has changed. Almost tribal-like leads evolve over the span of his records, distancing himself from percussion-based arrangements from before to allow for deep and tunneling atmospheres. These records, especially Layers of Compassion on Non-Series’ White sublabel, embody these qualities to create truly hypnotic club music that has found its way in many top selector sets all over the world. 

Altinbas also has a close working relationship with Amsterdam based FLOAT records, being the second artist besides labelhead TWR72 to release on the imprint and continuing to contribute to their boundary-pushing catalogue.

For our 20th edition we were able to bring you an artist who’s really been making huge moves in the scene both on his own and with the incredible HAYES Collective from Portugal. Temudo actually started out in drum n bass which explains certain choices of aesthetic in his techno.

Having studied music and being a mixing and mastering engineer himself, Temudo blends the musical and technical approaches in order to control powerful sound designs often through controlled saturation. Sequenced textures give a lot of groove to his pacey tracks and it’s for this reason he’s been able to score a lot of very interesting record deals with some of the scene’s most sought-after labels. Klockworks, Soma, and MORD have all had the chance to work with him and that’s only this year.

Having started out in the early 2010’s, Mario Campo quickly joined the famous Pole Group after a string of big releases that saw him rise up in the Spanish scene. His music remains highly immersive and almost atmospheric, but where his music seemed to have more of a dub roundness to it a few years back, his productions nowadays have reduced in sonic depth but gained in impact. 

Kwartz has been able to differentiate himself while being highly complementary to the contemporary scene by combining his cloudy style with Spanish club efficiency to make weapons on wax.

EBM, industrial, wave, drone, it’s all in there and it’s done magnificently well by Jerome Tcherneyan and Barkosina Hanusova. A couple collaboration dating back to about 2016, the two met in the London scene and almost instantly started recording together to start their project on impulse, something that seems to drive their sound through every release since. 

With increasing acclaim through each record, the two sent a message with their album on the Italian VEYL recordings ‘Suicide Disco’ that really imposed their sound internationally with tracks like ‘Face to Face’ and ‘I’m Still a Pill’ which are classics at this point.

Since then, her career brought her to play worldwide, carrying the message of “One world, one race, one love, one rave”.

A leading figure in the rise of Portuguese techno over the past couple of years, Nørbak has quickly made a big name for himself on a very international level. A producer first and DJ second, his records show an in-depth understanding of digital sound design and his sets are very complementary to these tracks. 

With a list of top labels for his releases including Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, Soma, Mord, Modularz, and so many more - he’s been able to display his intimidatingly stormy and anxious style through parties all over Europe and beyond. One of the founding members of the highly acclaimed Hayes Collective alongside others, including Temudo who we had the pleasure of having on earlier, Nørbak has been very active not only making records, but participating in the curation of his collective concept as well that has been taking underground techno by storm lately with artists like Quelza, VIL, CRAVO, Fresko and many others.

We’ve invited many artists and introduced them to you over the course of this podcast, so we thought it would only be appropriate to introduce you to the creators of the project for a b2b of considerable strength and funk : Kairos and Dress.

Originally from Ypres in the north of Belgium, Michiel Demeulemeester (known as Kairos) has been mixing for the better part of his adult life. Consistently navigating between genres since his beginnings, he bases his selection on mood rather than style and this has led him to play varied sets across his country. 

Moving on to the other deck, there is Dress. The Dress project started a few years ago to regroup multiple ideas being spread thin over multiple aliases under a singular name for my productions and DJ sets. The productions are characterized by employing resampling and sound destruction using a mix of field recordings and synthesis for moody ambiances and sometimes driving cuts. 

Together, Kairos and Dress created Umtzi Bumtzi, which is a small event collective / DJ duo based in Ghent playing around Belgium for more light hearted and vibey music to take down the tone a little bit.

Joining us for podcast 39 straight from New York is Holden Federico. Involving himself in music in various ways from a young age, the Philadelphia-native’s interest in production has led him to a single release on Setaoc Mass’s SK_Eleven that has made quite the impression. 

With a sharp, distinctive style, Federico glues timeless 90s techno influences with effective sound design to make club music that’s often melodically guided.

With his debut record out on SK and another one coming up very soon on the same imprint, Federico wasted no time with DJ gigs, throwing himself in the international scene alongside top-tier artists for a career that’s only getting started.

VOLTAGE Podcast 39 - Holden Federico

VOLTAGE Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast series, broadcasting both upcoming and well-established artists within the techno scene. Every episode features a lengthy set surrounded by a spoken in- & outro. The full story, including an in-depth interview and handwritten tracklist by each artist, can be found on our website: voltageimprint.com/en/podcast

Hitting the scene hard in 2016 with his debut 4-tracker for Rotterdam’s Common Thread Records, Identified Patient’s sonic personality was born through downtempo saturation, club/wave fusion, and fuzzy acid. It comes as no surprise that his influences reach as far and wide as they do; Identified Patient is one of the rare artists whose sound can be recognised immediately, leading him to being very highly in-demand on the international market.

Identified Patient has the digging and aesthetic qualities of an artist’s artist while maintaining an understanding of music that makes him a hit even among newcomers to our music, and with a career that blasts through every coming year, we are proud to host him as our final artist on VOLTAGE Podcast.

Mystery turns into tension & nervousness, as the B-side opener 'Rhombus' rumbles with hypnotism, then gives us a small breather at the halfway point before moving on to what seems to be a never-ending groove.

VOLTAGE Podcast 03 - A. Brehme

Four live streams at four undisclosed locations at our festival site. The iconic Transfo, a former and now unused electricity plant.

For the occasion, we will be descending into the abyss of Transfo. Underneath the big power generators lies a huge cellar where hundreds of workers maintained these machines. They’ve been unused and undisclosed for many years and will now, for the first time, be exposed to the public.

VOLTAGE Stream - Hadone
