Mala Junta w/ DJ TOOL 120623

I'm excited to announce my return to WIP with a new two-track techno EP.

The first track, "Collision," draws inspiration from the cosmic spectacle of planets and stars colliding—an intense burst of energy flowing through mind and soul.
With "Wanderlust," I've aimed to capture those magical final moments on the dancefloor after a long and winding musical journey.

If you've caught one of my recent sets, you might have already experienced the demo versions of these tracks.
Now, here are the final versions.
Hope you enjoy.

INTRINSIK RADIO EP.11 w. Hasvat Informant

Jeroen Search delivers Nautilus Lost, a forward-moving techno record built on precise, evolving structures and minimal repetitive rhythms.

Somewhere beneath the surface, where sunlight barely touches and time loses its shape, lies a world once known… now forgotten. Faded memories echo in the currents — glimpses of colors, whispers of movement, shadows of a life beneath the waves.

Dive into the unknown.
Reclaim the forgotten.
And awaken what sleeps beneath.

Jeroen Search - Nautilus Lost [RRR015]

Shockwave

The twenty fourth transmission from RYC comes courtesy of not one, but two artists we greatly admire. Joining forces on a split truly like no other, Japanese maestro Wata Igarashi and Munich’s own multi-faceted genius Polygonia step up with the magnetic ‘Cross Passage’ - a four-track journey at the junction of their respective universes, teleporting us straight to a propulsive, mind-expanding headspace as we’re invited to explore sonic territories still uncharted and harmonics yet unravelled.

The collaborative A-side begins with the dynamic title-track, ‘Cross Passage’, a proactively future-facing number packing the kind of utopian drive that used to define the original techno sound. A highly cinematic narrative boasting Detroit-style vision and epic breath, ‘Cross Passage’ builds bridges between hi-tech elation and organic integration, transcending mere functionality to push back and expand the limits of techno as a deep communication vessel between the individual and the mass. Firing off like a binary script gone astray, ‘Fibre Axis’ takes us on a further bumpy ride across shape-shifting interfaces and blurred-out digital scapes, via abrupt pixel landslides and fractured 3D renderings.

Side-B finds each producer dishing out a slice of his/her own musical idiom. Polygonia strikes first with the pulsating ‘Voltage Blues’ - a mesmeric roller cut from pure eerie synth algebra, boundary-pushing abstraction and surgical but experimental-leaning rhythmic assault. The result is a piece of cutting-edge techno hoodoo, ready to take on clubs with utmost abrasive swagger. Sniping a hail of rainbow-like analogue synth outpour, Wata Igarashi’s solo contribution ’The Tunnel Dreams’ rounds off the journey on a fiercely nonconformist note. Merging a hard-hitting main swing with 8-bit-esque audio pointillism and brooding bass undertones, the Japanese producer cuts a path of antigravitational abandon and relentless rush towards absolving euphoria, which shall leave all in the room levitating somewhere between sheer daze and love-thirsty XTC.

*Clad in the sleekest cover art courtesy of designer Atact, RYCL024 is pressed to red & white marbled vinyl for you, fancy platter collectors and picky audio-visual aesthetes alike.

Episode #61 of our Schimmer podcast series selected and mixed by AKO.

Ako is a head to toes vinyl maniac. Her experimental approach to techno is a mosaic of
oldschool gems from the 90s and deep dive into diverse styles such as trans; breakbeat;
dubstep; house. She’s patchworking different textures and looses the boundaries between
genres to perform a ride full of surprises and energetic charge. Her sound is built on
progressive melodies, echo if Detroit, funky twists, hard groove patterns, cold raw bangers
and a full on 909 power. Expect unexpected.

Schimmer Podcast #061 with Ako

Kage Terminal

ALXONE is the embodiment of Daniel J. Alexander TerraNova in his early years.
Before the calling was clear. Before the weight had language.
Trance was the first love.

This sound found him before he knew who he was becoming.
Before responsibility. Before fracture. Before redemption had a name.
It taught him how to feel time differently. How to disappear into motion and come back clearer.

ALXONE exists as that version of him.
Wide-eyed. Hungry. Alive.
Standing in the crowd when the lights went up and something holy cracked open without explanation.

Redemption City carries every era, but ALXONE is its ignition memory.
The pulse that formed the streets.
The rhythm that taught the city how to breathe before it knew why it mattered.

These tracks are not nostalgia.
They are preservation.

Each drop is the echo of a younger heart learning transcendence through sound.
Not running from pain. Not chasing escape.
Just moving, lifting, believing without words.

This is the sound that shaped the man before the man knew the mission.
The foundation beneath every later chapter.
The reminder that God often speaks first through beauty before truth has vocabulary.

ALXONE does not look back in regret.
It honors the beginning.

Redemption City rises on many frequencies.
But this one was first.
