Up this week with a massive two hours of 909 kick-fuelled punishment and bleeps-splashed sonic enigma, leading British techno trader and Modwerks chief operator Ø [Phase] fires off the goodies in spectacular, unrelenting fashion. Known for his brutalist compositions that merge the precision of chiselled drum programming with deep-end, otherworldly abstraction, Ø [Phase] gets the sci-fi-informed vibes pouring down in torrents. A continuously morphing kaleidoscope of sound blazing with intense acid flashes and eschatologic cavalcades, this powerhouse mix most certainly encompasses all the distinct flavours that make Ø [Phase] so prodigiously singular.

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

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.

An increasingly potent driving force in today’s techno environment, Georgia has through its key clubs Bassiani, Khidi and Mtkvarze, helped Tbilisi and its surroundings shape into of the most intriguing and reliable hotspots for emerging DJs and producers. One of its most talented heralds and a surefire groove rider at that, Yanamaste graces us with a choice two hours of the entrancingly deep and bumpy 4x4 epics he’s been laying down for INNSIGNN, Lyree and Khidi in recent times. Paced-up and animal to the core, his vision sweeps an extra wide range of shades and reliefs, nimbly moving the cursor from classic Berlin-inspired blends to full-fledged magmatic trance, via Birmingham-style projections and a solid dose of folk-infused harmonics. Raw yet technical, organic with a hint of hypermodern hoodoo to it, Yanamaste’s sound is the definition of hardware techno with soul, cut to ram-raid and elevate in equal measure.

UVB [MIA MAO live] Mar 21, 2025

Right on cue to support the release of his newest EP on SK_eleven, here comes Manchester via Berlin's own Setaoc Mass with a banger of a mix to break June in proper, pedal to the metal. Exponent of a sound both intrinsically rugged yet layered to mind-altering effect, the British producer has been dishing out unstoppable slices of hi-velocity techno laced with a signature stripped-back, psychedelic edge. This new RYC podcast doesn’t veer off from such a direction and we’re graced with a two-hour mind trip boasting both bass-driven warehouse impact and an elegantly-woven tapestry of abrasive grooves, leaning by turn towards atmospheric elation and on other occasions pushing in the direction of utter fibrous, steel-coated industrial pound. The result is a wilder than wild ride down a smouldering pit of acid-washed hard hitters. Brutal.
