@fadimohem is right at the heart of contemporary techno. He brings his own twist on the classic sound - deep, rhythmic and atmospheric. He's a Berghain resident whose first contact with the genre came at the hallowed club, and since then, he has blazed his own trail on the most influential labels in the scene, including his own Mohem imprint. This year, he plays twice at Dekmantel Festival, once as part of WSNWG Live and once on the Radar stage.

Ahead of that, he has put together an exclusive one-hour live set comprised only of unreleased music. It's a masterclass in control that embodies just what you get from Fadi in the club: deep techno planted firmly on the floor but always going somewhere. As dubbed out low ends, glitchy textures and more tripped out melodies come and go, the tension ramps up while both body and mind stay locked.

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

RA.1003 XDB

“Misty Secrets“ is a window into the playful and organic world of French but Tbilisi-based producer Ina Kacz. Across five immersive, intricately woven tracks, she cultivates a vibrant sonic garden where percussive patterns, rich organic layers, and colourful textures intertwine.
The EP opens with “Whispers”, a mysterious initiation filled with ritualistic beats and abstract voices, as if calling the listener deeper into the undergrowth. The path quickens with “Last Night’s Dream”, a driving, mysterious chase, and reaches its most physical moment in “Dive In”, where rhythmic energy commands movement. Without breaking its stride, the EP turns to a more diffused light: “Unveiled Mysteries” wraps the beat in textured swells, while “Desert” moves under a soft, hazy surface, carrying a quiet sense of pressure beneath.
Prismatic, trippy, and rich with subtle shifts, the EP moves as a single organism, breathing differently in each track.

@veralogdanidi

To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is the debut album by Vera Logdanidi — the culmination of nearly two decades of musical evolution. Her journey began in the world of drum & bass and jungle, gradually expanding into deep explorations of house, dub techno, and techno. Over the years, Vera has performed on leading stages across Ukraine and internationally, while also mentoring a new generation of DJs and producers, hosting radio shows, and supporting the scene through her label and community work.
This album was written during a time of deep upheaval. The outbreak of full-scale war forced Vera to leave behind a well-established life and begin again on the international stage. While the music often feels dreamy and introspective, To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is a profoundly personal record — a sonic refuge shaped by grief, uncertainty, and resilience.
The album doesn't follow formulas; it’s driven by intuition, texture, and a genuine connection to sound. It's rich, emotional, and occasionally unexpected. The tracks form the core of Vera’s current live set, which has resonated at major festivals such as Draaimolen or Strichka — captivating audiences with its depth and subtle, immersive energy.
The cover art, created in close collaboration with Vera’s longtime visual team, is a real photograph — not a digital effect. It captures the tension between anxiety and hope: a glance back, and a step forward into the unknown. This visual metaphor reflects the emotional landscape of the album — the fragility of what’s been lost, and the courage to embrace what lies ahead.
This release also marks a new chapter for Rhythm Büro Records — one that moves towards music that is more personal, intimate, and unconstrained by expectations.
To All That We Lose And All We Fight For is released alongside another important Rhythm Büro release: RB011 — Your Curves EP by Na Nich. Ukrainian producer Oleksandr Pavlenko, formerly known as Sunchase, returns to his roots in broken beats and bass music, blending them with house and techno sensibilities. The four-track EP ranges from deep grooves to melancholic late-night moods — a compelling counterpoint to Vera’s album and a testament to the label’s evolving identity.
