We are thrilled to share a 90-minute excerpt of this exceptional set from 2021 that will always remain one of the most legendary moments on our dancefloor...

This Is Not Draaimolen Festival: DVS1 & Oscar Mulero (11.09.2021)

Imagine growing up near Berlin, getting into dance music, going to Berghain for the first time and getting your mind blown by techno. Then, ten years later, you become a resident DJ at the fabled club. Not many people—any people?—can claim this story, but for Fadi Mohem, what would be so many DJs' dreams became a reality. After getting his 2017 debut 12-inch Reckless in the hands of all the right people in Berlin, Mohem established a bold, bouncy techno sound with releases on Modeselektor's Seilscheibenpfeiler, Ben Klock's Klockworks and FJAAK's SPANDAU20, pretty much the cream of the crop of modern techno.

Now, this year, he's becoming one of Berghain's newest residents, alongside other exciting names like Sedef Adasï and Naty Seres (and Lakuti upstairs at Panorama Bar). As heard on his recent collaborative with Ben Klock, Mohem has modern techno down to a science, thanks to a combination of reverence for the old-school and clever rhythmic touches, like the irresistible snare pattern on "Prefix." His RA Podcast sounds like what you might expect from a new generation of Berghain resident: aerodynamic, heavy and, honestly a little midtempo compared to a lot of other young techno DJs. It's the sound the club has made world-famous, with cuts from Reeko, Heiko Laux and Truncate, plus some special moments from aya, DJ Deeon and Petar Dundov. It takes a certain kind of DJ to get to this hallowed place, and Fadi Mohem deserves it.

All the vinyl I've bought over last year and tbh I still still had another big pile of records to pay mite do a part 2 mix 

END OF YEAR MIX 2024

Mix #27 DJ SWISHERMAN

The Malta-born talent, DJ and producer Human Safari’s sound blends Hardgroove with the raw energy of tribal rhythms. His dynamic, genre-blurring sets have made waves within the scene, earning him spots behind the decks at events such as UNFOLD, Boiler Room and Glitch Festival. His dedication extends beyond the decks, with releases on ARTS and R&S Records.

Human Safari’s productions are built on a solid techno foundation, blending fast-paced rhythms, energetic percussion, and smooth saxophone and piano melodies to create a hypnotic groove. This mix is groovy, sultry, and tribal, with sonic elements that will keep you hooked from the beginning to the end. 

Tune in to experience it for yourself.

Cerebral journey through Umfang's (@umfang) psy world. The dawn of a new year at FR.

'For whatever reason I went turbo on the edits for this mix. I was excited by the prompt to do something more experimental and unstructured which led me to edit and re-contextualize some misfits from the last few years. I feel like I have hit a wall with my 15 year dj practice and just want to work on composition now. I have been playing around with making simple loop edits in Virtual DJ and arranging them in ableton'.

I have uploaded the recording of my set at Ratherlost last New Years Day to my Soundcloud. My connection with them goes back to the days of Reaktor where i was happy to be a resident for 5 years. In my opinion Ratherlost today is the top promotor when it comes to serious techno in Amsterdam and it was a huge honor to be back with them again. Expect some old, some new and some strange music from the likes of Chlär, OFF / Grid, Cravo, Malin Genie, DisX3, Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull, Yanamaste, Vilchezz, Pacou, Steve Rachmad among others!

Modern hypnotics from a new techno star.

It's a tale as old as time: techno DJ moves to Berlin to chase a dream. Philippa Pacho is part of the latest wave of talent to tread that familiar path. But don't let that fool you. She's one of the classiest artists around—no TikTok gimmicks here.

Pacho's formative years were spent in her native Stockholm, navigating a vibrant DIY party scene that included warehouse raves and illegal parties. She eventually took up a long-standing residency at beloved local club Under Bron and the experience, as she details in this week's Q&A, sharpened her technical skills, teaching her to handle every type of set—whether opening with patience, supporting a headliner or closing with finesse. She also played with countless touring DJs, from Answer Code Request to Antony Parasole, which ultimately inspired her move to Berlin.

That relocation has firmly paid off. It's a testament to Pacho's talent that you'll find her playing pretty much every big club and festival across Europe, from Berghain and Dekmantel to FOLD and Monument (we were exhausted just looking at her upcoming listings on RA). Other recent highlights include closing out Bassiani's tenth birthday, and back-to-backs with Fadi Mohem and Sandrien. 

Pacho's RA Podcast showcases her preference for classy, hypnotic techno, striking a balance between muscle and subtle groove. Her aptitude for what makes dance floors tick is also evident on her two labels—Phorum Records and positivesource (co-run with Blue Hour)—both of which mirror her DJ style, blending intensity with delicate textures. positivesource has released several standout records, including this year's "Psycho" by BLANKA and Phil Berg's "Psyckik" (which you'll hear on this mix). 

Spanning 70 minutes, RA.980 is a window into Pacho's thoroughly modern sound (the oldest track is from 2018). And yet it retains a refined, sweeping quality. Give it a spin and you'll soon twig why she's in demand on dance floors worldwide.

RA.980 Philippa Pacho

Originally from Finland, Carmen Electro's formative years were shaped by her experiences in America and across Europe, each destination leaving an indelible mark on her artistic identity.

Drawing inspiration from her diverse upbringing, Carmen's DJ sets pay homage to the rich legacy of techno. While she seamlessly navigates through various electronic music genres, it's techno that serves as the red thread tying everything together. Her electrifying performances are more than just DJ sets; they're transformative experiences designed to awaken the primitive dancer within us all. With an affinity for old-school raves, she effortlessly channels her boundless energy into every track, creating an atmosphere that touches on different emotions from deep to tribal, from ecstatic, to pounding. The most meaningful experiences in her artistic life have been connecting with people to whom dance was the only way to express their identity freely, against the environment or society's expectations.

Her fearless attitude towards DJing mirrors her approach to life itself. Carmen believes in living life to the fullest, embracing new experiences, and pushing the boundaries of comfort to foster personal and artistic growth. For her, vinyl isn't just a medium; it's a tool for self-expression and exploration, allowing her to connect with audiences on a deeper level.

Tipped as being one of Rotterdam’s best kept secrets in Techno, dj/producer ‘stranger’ moves in mysterious ways and has quickly proven to be one to watch. His first musical appearance in 2014 was quickly picked up by established names as Dave Clarke, Sven Vath and Marcel Dettmann, giving his career aswell as his own Self Reflektion label a major kick-start. While remaining in the background pushing forward talented artists and working on various projects such as the highly anticipated Paling Trax label, his dj-career is on the rise. His name can be found on the line-ups of some of the biggest clubs and events in techno such as Awakenings, Tresor and many others. This is not your average ‘unknown artist’…
