Wake & Rave / Special Guest | Podcast #50 | Essence pres. We Call It Voight-Kampff

#50 podcast will belong to a person who has had a huge impact on me, directing my taste in music thanks to, for example, technosoul events. Once a member of the technosoul collective, operating on the stage for over two decades, a resident of the Sopot club sfinks700, a member of the Up to date Festival team and an original vinyl record selector - I invite you to listen to Essence pres. We Call It Voight - Kampff.

A few words from the artist:
"Being a DJ for almost 20 years somehow never took “the usual way” - I never started producing my own music. It was only around the time when my son was born and I “retired” from regular DJing and promoting that I bought my first piece of gear. I decided to take on a new alias, being an obvious reference to the book/movie “Blade Runner” (although the idea came from the cult “Dj Kicks” from Stacey Pullen). 

The idea to present my music to people has come up very recently, however - I felt live PA’s are not my cup of tea. I have decided to bring the best of both worlds and play a DJ set consisting entirely of my own music (including a few tracks produced together with Szmer). I picked a number of tracks produced between 2018 and 2021 (as well as did a few new ones from scratch) and spent a few nights polishing them. I couldn’t pick a better place, as Sfinks/Sfinks700 was the place I was raised at. 

It’s hard to express how happy I was playing my “debut”. I definitely could have done better - the main challenge was my lack of experience with CDJs. Nevertheless - I am very pleased to be able to share this recording with a wider audience. Enjoy!"

Wake & Rave / Syreny | Podcast #06 | L Ʌ V Σ N

Sensual introduction, with a touch of eroticism in the background - this is how I interpret the story of L Ʌ V Σ N aka Marta Nowaczyńska, the pearl of Gdynia, who has just recorded a sea -> maritime story for us.

Her first release was an EP for French Carcères Records published in 2018. It initiated her performances abroad, which later turned out to be a breakthrough in her Polish career. She is currently a resident of "The Meaning of Rave" - a collective active in Poznań and Wrocław. She had the opportunity to play alongside artists, such as KRTM, Trym, DYEN, MSKD or Sluhg, at parties for the "Demain Kollectiv" or "Ismus". Her latest EP for the Turkish C O U P has been appreciated by artists, such as Paula Temple, Rebekah, ArchivOne, Stephanie Sykes, Sophia Saze and Ascorbite.

Bound to techno, Marta has never deviated from her attachment to melody; her productions and sets are characterized by a strong but melodic style. She is inspired by producers, such as Arca or Holly Herndon who draw and seek samples in the infinite depths of the Internet. Her works often confront delicacy and aggression which meet in a digital collage. L Ʌ V Σ N strives to create a multi-dimensional and intense techno based on feelings of nostalgia. Reaching for various samples, her works contain elements of noisy industrial sounds and trance, as well as acid and rave.

I invite you to listen to the one hour story of the Gdynia mermaid.

Eve Schwarz is a Frankfurt-based DJ who definitely stands out for her love of industrial music. Her performance at the November Syren event alongside Croatian Insolate made a huge impression on us, so we invited Eve to record over an hour-long podcast for wake and rave.

Although a large dose of unpredictability and experimental challenge emphasizes its diverse artistic appearance. After residing in her hometown of Frankfurt and organizing several events alongside Anthony Rother, Eve moved to Berlin with a focus on developing behind the scenes and developing her own musical output. Places such as Arena Club, about blank, Tresor.Berlin (OFFICIAL) gave her the opportunity to enter the world of electronic music.

Wake & Rave / Special Guest | Podcast #30 | GEM

Gem - was infected with the love of electronics by his older brother who brought home Model 500 or CJ Bolland records. He recalls how at the end of the 90s, in a tiny apartment in Warsaw's Ochota, they listened to "I wanna be there" on a common tower and since then he has been in love with electronics, and Detroit has a special place in his heart.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, he has also been actively involved in promoting. He took his first steps as an organizer in such bands as Pro Audio and Horry Tone. With the line-up of Underground Perception, he held a residence in Warsaw's Tomba Tomba and M25, mentioned by all electronic music fanatics in Poland. During their activity, they invited to Warsaw such figures as three pioneers from Detroit Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, and the creator of minimal techno Robert Hood. It can also boast of its original project called Pølygon.

Michał was also a member of the Technosoul collective, which had a huge impact on the electronic music scene and shaping the awareness of listeners not only in Warsaw, but also throughout Poland. Together with Technosoul, they have organized countless events and bookings such as James Ruskin, Regis, Surgeon, Shifted or Rrose. He also started his original project Polygon.

Despite almost eighteen years of experience, his love for music, parties and DJing has not faded, which can be heard during his performances, which invariably remain raw, sincere and energetic. Currently closely associated with the Warsaw club 999, where he regularly plays their 50-hour marathons. The question of what sets he likes best is answered simply - long.

Wake & Rave / Special Guest | Podcast #30 | GEM

Wake & Rave / Syreny | Podcast #31 | Sabine Hoffmann

It's time to announce the next podcast, which will belong to the artist Sabine Hoffmann, born and raised in the city of Berlin, who graduated in sound engineering. From today, it will join the ranks of our podcast sirens.

She discovered her love for vinyl at the turn of 2000, and since then she has been constantly honing her skills in turning black vinyls. It is impressive that regardless of her style, you will always find Sabine playing only vinyl sets as she prefers the warmth of analog sounds and the classic feel of turntables. Sabine is known in her hometown from the series "Frauengedeck", in which she invites only women to play.

Since 2016, Sabine has been working in the well-known OYE music store in Berlin. She also hosts a monthly live broadcast of "Frauengedeck", which is broadcast from the store where he works.

Wake & Rave / Special Guest | Podcast #36 | Hior

2020 ends with # 36 with a podcast from Berlin based artist Hior.

Born in 1974 in Athens, Hior Chronik, has always been surrounded by music. As a child, he would listen to classical music and jazz on the radio and would write down his favourite tracks in his little notebook. But it was his work as a radio producer at the JazzFm station in Athens and as an editor of several music magazines that really accelerated his development as an artist, and led to him finding his true calling. 

Hior started to experiment with melodies and rhythms and so the first minimalist ambient piano patterns were born, which were later combined with electronica and vocals. “It was a process to discover my hidden charisma” he states. He is part of the roster of 7K! Label, Ki Records and Kitchen Label. He is also the piano player of Christian Lofflerʼs Ensemble.

Wake & Rave / Syreny | Podcast #38 | Insolate

We are very pleased to host Insolate, with had the pleasure to perform for us on 02/11/19 in the Wrocław at the next edition of syreny.

A veritable powerhouse of the Croatian techno scene Insolate has been establishing a global presence as a DJ and producer for over 20 years delivering as both a label boss at Out of Place and the creative force behind their electrifying TRAUM events.

Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows, she is making her first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and worldwide clubs.

Her list of clubs and partys she played is impressive and includes Berghain, Rex, Tresor, Under Club, Club d’Anvers, Unter, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland, ADE and Dimensions Festival. Amongst many European clubs she played numerous tours in Colombia and recently added USA, China and Argentina to the list.

As a producer, she's had a string of releases on highly respected labels including DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted, Marcelus’s Singular and Developer’s Modularz - supported and played by some of techno's finest including Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Dax J and Ilario Alicante. Also she released the stellar Obscure Object Of Desire EP on JoeFarr's new User Experience imprint, EP for a Suara and beautiful EP for Proletarijat, label run by Sev Dah. She also contributed to Ben Sim’s compilation Tribology among giants as Planetary Assault Systems, Oscar Mulero, Steffi etc. and also made super interesting collaboration with french producer Arnaud le Texier and released EP with him for Prodigal Son.

In 2019. she released her debut album “Order is Chaos” as a double vinyl with extremely interesting collaborations with MATRIXXMAN and singer SARA RENAR. DJ Mag (UK) described album as “exciting journey thru trans-dimensional vocals, acid drenched sequences and floor obligated bangers.”

Insolate is also a major contributor to the Croatian techno scene, so much so that she was in Ibiza to receive the award for "Dance Nation of the Year" at the DJ Awards on behalf of her nation. Her and long-time partner in crime Volster also run the event series TRAUM in her native Osijek. TRAUM events have cemented their place in the clubbing calendar with quality artists like Paula Temple, Antigone, Etapp Kyle, just to name a few. The success of the TRAUM nights caught the attention of Red Bull Music Academy and Dimensions – both of which they have hosted official events for.

As a DJ, Insolate is well known for her no-compromise, pure-bred techno sets. It's clear to anyone who's seen her perform that she's an artist with a lot of experience but also plenty of inspiration and ambition, and a deep knowledge of techno. She is simply a natural presence in a DJ booth. If you've seen her play, you will know exactly what this means.
