Follow and Support @jast_djInterview :Virtual Underground : How has this JĀST story started ?JĀST : I started making music at seven, when I began to play the drums. The instrument has stuck with me and I think it helps me visualize the rythmic elements in my sets. For the past ten years I've felt drawn to electronic music more and more. It still took me years of listening to tracks and podcasts of other artists and going out in the Berlin scene to actually start getting behind the decks myself. For the past four years I've been DJing and lately I started to focus my attention more on groovy, percussive and hypnotive tracks, that can be layered on multiple decks.VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?JĀST : Especially with the groovy tracks I play in this set a lot of inspiration is drawn from the sounds of the city - this moment where you leave the club in the morning and every rythmic and arythmic sound around you unites and together they form music in your head, that is what I want to achieve with these multilayered sets. But the sound of the sets I play is always heavily influenced by my mood as well.VU : Could you tell us more about your music selection and mixing process ?JĀST : I try to dig my music up from different corners of the Internet and I like to go vinyl shopping as well- a lot of it is following the right labels/artists and not being afraid to spend a lot of time out there choosing the right tracks. While mixing I try to keep every song I play running for a long time and to mix it with different tracks, highlight different elements of the track, so the set gets a natural flow that is somehow more than the sum of the tracks I use.VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?JĀST : The set is recorded on a X:ONE43 and two Denon SC5000 and a CDJ900
Interview with ProOne79 @gioele-cantoni :Virtual Underground: How has this ProOne79 story started ?ProOne79: The idea of starting the ProOne79 project came up to my mind in 2005, but the first release under my artist name was in 2018. However, I have always been attracted by electronic music, synthesizers and drum machines. I bought my fist synth in the year 2000.Virtual Underground: Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?ProOne79: I generally draw my inspiration from new sounds, but sometimes i draw inspiration from past experiences or everyday life.Virtual Underground: Could you tell us more about your music selection and mixing process ?ProOne79: I like to mix my productions with other artist's music and create eclectic mixes that combine house, techno and their subgenres.Virtual Underground: Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?ProOne79: For this set i used Traktor connected to an S2 MKII controller
Interview with @nakanoblu :VIRTUAL UNDERGROUND : How did this NAKANO BLU story start?NAKANO BLU : I used to work as a drummer before moving to the Netherlands, but I was already producing trip-hop and downtempo music as 'Paul Wilbury'. Then the pandemic hit, so no more gigs unfortunately and I moved to Amsterdam where I got exposed to the music my friends were doing, more IDM, jungle and D'nB. That helped a lot in defining what I wanted to accomplish with NAKANO BLU. VU : Where do you generally get your inspiration from?NAKANO BLU : Mostly from going to the club and listening to my favourite producers play there. I also get a lot of ideas from other non-musical artforms, but that is more concept-wise.VU : Can you describe your music selection and mixing process?NAKANO BLU : I have changed quite a bit the last two years, but nowadays I try to find non-european roots in the electronic music I play. In Spain people listen mostly to reggaeton and latin pop so I try to incorporate that in my sets with experimental dembow and other latin electronic genres like baile funk or kuduro.VU : What software/hardware did you use for this set?NAKANO BLU : I recorded this on CDJs 2000 Nxs.2 and a DJM-900 mixer.VU : What is your craziest dream?NAKANO BLU : I don't really remember my dreams but I dream a lot I chase someone parkour style XD.Jokes aside, musically maybe my dream would be to just play at my favourite club and collaborate with my favourite artists, but who doesn't want that? hahalinks:https://nakanoblu.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/34Nv34AHWtVTQwuonomsLjhttps://www.instagram.com/nakanoblu/

by @iounphoto by www.facebook.com/reflexologiquephotosInterview :Virtual Underground: How did the story of iOÛN begin?iOÛN: The story of iOÛN began almost 3 years ago. First of all passionate about rock and alternative music, it was impregnated with the electro culture both in France (especially in Brittany) but also during its experiences abroad (England, Poland) in clubs and festivals (I am especially at the base a spectator who likes to vibrate thanks to the music).Two of my friends of studies create the association Armen Crew several years ago, that I will join in 2019 first as a volunteer then as a DJ.VU: What are your main inspirations?iOÛN: My inspirations are wide and diverse, I love rock (I also play in a band), alternative music and electronic music and especially the rhythmic sections of the latter. As far as electro is concerned, I'm very attracted by the incisive and percussive sounds of the Prodigy, Djedjotronic, Voiron or Helena Hauff for example.I like to propose sets that will not be only with the same style of sounds all along, I like to vary and bring different phases and ambiances in my sets (mainly electro often coupled with techno, pieces a little bit calmer, also indus or even more broken pieces), to vary the intensities to finally, simply make my audience travel in a journey at the same time dancing, sometimes dark and especially energetic.VU: Can you tell us about your selection and mixing process of the tracks?iOÛN: I do my digging mainly via Youtube by subscribing to many channels that perpetually suggest me new ideas of sound (and also discovery of new artists) and also via Bandcamp which is according to me a great platform to digest and pay the artists.So I pick in my last finds that I buy on Bandcamp but not only, the CD format occupies an important place in my purchases (I don't like to limit myself only to the digital format). Fortunately, there are still some record shops that offer an interesting range of CDs in this genre that is electro in the broad sense (new or second hand).Then I build my sets so that the intensity and the tempo increase in the duration.For the mixing, I use a rather simple and raw technique, I go to the essential while remaining in rhythm (it is the most important for me, it is necessary to stall well! and then I simply make my EQ transfers and I do not loop).VU: What software/hardware did you use for this set?iOÛN: I still use the same equipment as when I started, namely :- A pair of Numark NDX 400 (MP3 + CD)- A Mixars UNO desk- A Reloop Tape recorderLet's say I'm a bit old school but it suits me very well and it makes me work a lot on the rhythmic approach. I don't like to be assisted by a computer software (having two spectrums to manage annoys me more than anything else), once again I prefer to go to the essential and concentrate on the structures of the pieces (by ear) to know when to send the continuation.VU: What are your next projects?iOÛN: I'm planning to start a mix duo with a long time friend in parallel to my band and solo projects and that we start working on it. For the future, I plan to continue to invest myself with Armen Crew (my second family!) to organize events and play for people, it's very exciting for me. I'm also open to all kinds of proposals like online podcasts or participating in events.
Interview :
Virtual Underground: How has this all started for you? Ekin: My first experience with music started when I discovered my sister’s old cassette player. She was listening to Limp Bizkit. I remember my first song was to Take a look around. Then I discovered other types of metal and started playing bass guitar. I was never into fancy solos. I always liked the idea of being the supporting pillar of the band and improved myself in every genre in bass. Even admitted to Berklee for a 5 week bass performance program. Before pandemic I was playing regularly with my band in a local metal bar called Dorock. Being the youngest member of the band and my tendency to use distortion earned me my nickname Basstard. Then in Berlin, Berghain to be precise, I was drawn to the vast world of techno and the limitless possibilities of sound design. That's when I started experimenting with my first controller.
Virtual Underground: Where do you generally draw your inspiration from? Ekin: Music is how I express myself. I always felt myself full of emotions that I don't know how to let out. I had a turbulent childhood and preferred music over people. I was very good with maths and physics and could see the pattern in a song effortlessly unlike relationships. They were very complicated for me and emotions were like randomized functions that ruined every equation in my head. In my sets and compositions I try to reflect my way of seeing the world and how it's cynical, confusing and dark.
Virtual Underground: Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? Ekin: I like the productions from the 2000s and 1990s. I work as an electronics engineer and while working I dive in the vast archives and select the tunes that intrigues me. I list them according to bpm and key. In this set I acted extra ruthless and selected some hard hitting tracks from C mantle, Headless horseman and Martyn Hare and tried to build a dystopian and intimidating atmosphere.
Virtual Underground: Which software/hardware did you use for this set? Ekin: I used Traktor Pro 2 software and Traktor S5 controller.
Virtual Underground: Could you tell us more about snatchers? Ekin: Snatchers is our İstanbul based imprint/label/collective for electronic music and more sound disciplines. It is a place for young musicians to grow and share their works founded by @omeerata. It is a non-profit organization as we say in snatchers we are in it for the music :)
Virtual Underground: Any next plans? Ekin:I started learning Ableton and hopefully I will release my own tracks soon. Also I started digging records from 1990s and my ultimate goal is to expand my musical arsenal :)

Interview : Virtual Underground : How has this Neo Sapiens story started ? Neo Sapiens : I have always been passionate about music. I have been writing songs since chilhood hoping one day I would form a band. However, since I was not so open about my dreams and wasn’t surrounded by musicians, I could never find enough people with the same taste in music to form a band. Finding out about DAW’s was a game changer for me. I started experimenting every night without anything in mind till sunrise. I learned and started DJ-ing at Sintetik club in Baku and soon became a resident of the club. I came up with the name “Neo Sapiens” while I was drunk and complaining about my communication problems to my close friend. Neo Sapiens is a new species of primates that communicates through music rather than verbal language :)
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? Neo Sapiens : Inspiration can come from everything but usually it comes from the inside when there are no distractions around me. There is almost always some music playing inside my head. The less mental or physical distractions there are, the more connected I feel to music. That is why I like being alone and doing nothing, staying up late with my music.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? Neo Sapiens : I would consider my mixing style dynamic. I like sudden changes and surprises during my sets. I like to mix different sounds and genres and make it fit the set. For me, the art of DJ-ing is about taking a trip to different dimensions of music without making listeners uncomfortable.
VU : What are you working on right now ? Neo Sapiens : I am currently working on music production. I already have some tracks ready and will be released soon. At the same time I am a member and a resident of @taflab which is an event organizing team in Baku and we are currently in the process of starting a label for Titanium event and podcast series which represents the heavier side of tafLAB.

Interview Virtual Underground : How has this NGC 21 story started ? NGC 21 : It all started with my passion for music creation, audio and electronic music. Me and a friend of mine decided to make a summer tour in Europe on 2018 and I ended up living in Berlin. I just started absorbing the most I could from the music scene here and this set is a result from these last 2 years.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? NGC 21 : Listening to good music with nice people around - going to clubs
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? NGC 21 : I like to select tracks that grab my feeling and attention, and try to play them in a very free way when I'm performing, trying to act as a passage between the music and the people.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? NGC 21 : For this set I used Rekordbox with a DDJ-RB mixer
VU : What are you working on right now ? NGC 21 : Right now Im working on some new tracks I've been producing over this last year. Some more hard Techno, some with more atmospheric moods.

My story is just beginning. I started by falling in love with a fast pace with all my dark soul. Music is always with me. I listened to a lot of interesting information and mixes and studied each of their steps. Then I experimented with mixing 3-4 tracks at once, and I take only what I like into a set of tracks. I think that you should always work at the DJ's desk. I'm not afraid to experiment with periuding performances on stage. The constant creative process in extreme conditions is a new good experience. Inspiration is always with me, you can draw it all the time wherever I am.

Interview with the artist :
Virtual Underground : How has this SRVNT story started? SRVNT : My love for music and djing started a long time ago influenced by my older brother, who had his equipment at home, and who taught me how to mix using turntables. The learning process with the beauty of the vinyl made me feel a strong connection with the idea of mixing different tracks and make them sound cool together. Years later, I attended a techno party and, although I already knew a little about techno, that night I felt a strong connection with it and with the environment, and I felt the need to start playing it.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from? SRVNT : As a DJ, it mainly comes from listening and discovering music continuously, -either techno or other genres in electronic music- following my favorite artists, their sets, their releases… Also, my closest friends who feel music the same way as me can inspire me too.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? SRVNT : I made a playlist with around 40-50 tracks based on the kind of sound I like the most, and how I wanted the set to be, but this can change as they are influenced by my mood in that period too, it depends, sometimes I feel better playing more kind of deep techno in lower bpms or vice versa. Generally, I like to start with some dark ambient to get into the mood and little by little playing heavier tracks, mixed as I felt they should be in that moment, and finishing with a tune that could stay in your head afterwards.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set? SRVNT : I recorded the set at Pirate Studios in Manchester equipped with 3x CDJs 2000nxs2 and DJM900nxs.
VU : What are you working on right now? SRVNT : I have started to produce recently, and I feel motivated with it, but it is too soon to talk about results.

Virtual Underground : How has this RAMKKA story started ? RAMKKA : I have been djing now for about 15 years but when I started producing at the beginning of this year I decided I finally needed to create an alias for myself as my own name isn't one that is going to stick out or be memorable. I chose a few different names and I kept coming back to RAMKKA so I ended up sticking with that one.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? RAMKKA : From listening to some of my favourites DJs live sets, podcasts and their new releases. I find DJs that play the same brand of techno as myself and I work my way through their mixes to find new tracks and to find new ways of making my sets more unique each time I turn on the decks. I find watching Oscar Mulero play to be my biggest inspiration at the minute.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? RAMKKA : When recording a mix I generally create a set of around 20 - 25 tracks, choose a track I want to start the set with and then start recording. After that I just decide while playing which track I feel is going to fit the mix best next.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? RAMKKA : For this mix I used a Pioneer DDJ-400 and Rekordbox. I am uprgading my controller soon but I will be sticking with Rekordbox as I find it the most intuitive software for djing.
VU : What are you working on right now ? RAMKKA : I'm currently working on my third EP with my first already out on Truc Records and my second to release on Nomad Species in October. I also have a number of podcasts lined up for the coming months so I'm keeping myself busy but I'm always looking for new and interesting projects.

Virtual Underground : How has this Atdlb story started? Atdlb : It all started when my friends and I founded a collective called La North in which we organize after-hours underground events in Montréal. I discovered the nightlife here and in Europe and completely fell in love with techno music.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from? Atdlb : My past experiences, travels, my entourage…
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? Atdlb : I like dark and melancholic sounds, I’m into pretty fast music at the moment so I try to dig in for never heard before tracks before doing a mix, but I pretty much go with the flow and play whatever song that touches my feelings.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set? Atdlb : For this set I used Pioneer Ddj 800.

Interview :
Virtual Underground : How has this Ømen story started? Ømen : It started as a hobby and side-project, as I felt the need for a creative outlet to cope with London’s fast-paced lifestyle and have always been passionate about music. I used to play in various bands as a drummer, but electronic music always fascinated, particularly the more experimental and underground scenes. After co-founding MASS, a London based Techno night, my focus and drive to produce and play Techno crystallised.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from? Ømen : My inspiration tends to come from being mindful of my life experiences, the emotions they evoke, being curious, and always trying to push my limits. Lately, I find myself listening to a lot of raw, aggressive, and occasionally melodic/melancholic tracks. I also have incredibly talented friends that produce great music that I often try to incorporate in my storytelling. Having grown up in Bali, Indonesia, I draw inspiration from the rhythms, mystical prayers, and percussive elements emanating from my youth, while also reflecting the brutal and industrial reality of currently living in a major European capital.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? Ømen : I am constantly creating a mind-map of tracks that would go well together as I listen to music daily. However, when it comes to designing a mix or a set, it reflects the mood that I am generally in during that period. Drawing from my ‘mind-map’, I tend to already have a blue-print of how it will start and how it will end, but the rest is relatively spontaneous.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set? Ømen : My mixing set up consists of two Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3 (still using CD’s), Allen & Heath Xone 23 mixer, and studio monitors. For music production, I use Ableton and occasional external instruments such as synths or drum machines.

Virtual Underground : How has this "Ain't no mercy" story started ? Ain't No Mercy : First of all i want to say you thank, it’s my first interview.

Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? Ain't No Mercy : I think my inspiration comes from love of music.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? Ain't No Mercy : For me it’s a great pleasure, when i play music and create selection. I think it makes me feel alive.But now I’ve frequent contact to Record box because i use it to record my sets.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Ain't No Mercy : As i already said, i am using a record box. I used it now as well.

Edward Symphony was born in 1999, from an early age he acquires a great interest in the arts and focuses part of his time in the world of cinema and other branches of the audiovisual, so much so that he begins to produce small videotapes and phonographic material for what would be his first steps in this world. In his adolescence he is greatly influenced by the RAVE culture and thanks to this he discovers the existence of totally new music, which motivates him to experience in the creation process. He claims to have fallen totally in love with the stage after being behind a booth in a small club in his city in 2018, which generates for several months thoughts of revolutionizing the idea that not only in these places you can enjoy such music. Then, he has decided to create a collective called NOISE, with purpose to create events in unconventional places intended for people to enjoy comforting experiences that lead them not only to dance, but to feel and remember at fast rhythms and few lights
Interview :
Virtual Underground : How has this Edward Symphony story started ? Edward Symphony : The figure of Edward Symphony begins to be part of an audiovisual project, since I was very young, I was very impressed to make movies with a small camera. After all this, at 16 years of age I created sound effects for these "home movies", from that day on I began to think that I could create music for other types of spaces, and in 2018 I saw myself for the first time behind a mixer playing on bar in my city.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? Edward Symphony : This is a very complex question, since when creating phonographic material I take inspiration from the feelings I have, normally my style of representing music is based on melancholy, although I also draw a lot of attention to crispy and heavy sounds.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? Edward Symphony : I like to play very high, from 134 bpm to in many cases 150 bpm, my purpose is to make people who dance to my music free themselves from the stress they accumulate day by day and lose themselves between the rhythms.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Edward Symphony : I love traktor :3
Virtual Underground : How does the underground scene in your city looks like? Edward Symphony : Unfortunately it is small, but nevertheless it is constantly growing, we do everything we can from our small collective called NOISE.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ? Edward Symphony : I have been working on my first EP for several months, I hope to have it ready soon, and regarding NOISE, we hope to start doing a small national tour and support Colombian talent.

Virtual Underground : How has this Human Experiments story started ?
Human Experiments : I don’t really know how and when it started to be fair, music has always been part of my life and i was introduced to electronic quite young. I guess I started taking a real interest in djing when I first went to nightclubs. Learning how to mix was quite a logical next step for me. And then naturally from a certain point, the will to express my own idea of music started to emerge and that’s why I learned to produce. Besides, playing your own material in front of an audience is always more satisfying.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
Human Experiments : I produce techno but my inspirations are quite eclectic : rhythmic noise, industrial, EBM, basically all of this kind of subgenres in which experimentation and the search for an extreme sound experience has a primary role. I'm also very receptive to cinematic music notably when it’s made of orchestral sonorities and aggressive rhythms, it always grabs me when it’s wisely mixed up with techno.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?
Human Experiments : I’d say this set follows the pattern of what I usually do : Combine hard and cinematic techno materials with more accessible and danceable ones, always with a punk note. Regarding the mixing process itself I try not to just play tracks after tracks but to create synergies between them. So tracklist and running order selection is quite important.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?
Human Experiments : CDJ nexus 2000 and DJM 900.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ?
Human Experiments : I’m not gonna lie I don’t have much time to produce, but some tracks of mine will be released soon on various labels, maybe with a press on vinyl format. On the long run I'd love to work on a live project.

Virtual Underground : How has this BRÄLLE story started ? BRÄLLE : Began back in 2017 on the heels of my touring days winding down. I spent the previous 10 years touring with another band, and I needed to do something on my own, completely outside my comfort zone.
Virtual Underground : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? BRÄLLE : This is a difficult question to summarize, but the one thing that’s stayed true through all my musical experiences is to draw inspiration from outside your own scene. Shoegaze, Ambient, Black Metal, Goth Rock, or Synth Pop all play their own role in my songwriting process.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? BRÄLLE : This mix took a second to really find my stride, as is usually the case. You play with tone and groove a lot in the beginning until finally finding your path. I think of it like walking in the dark when you turn off the lights, it takes a second until your eyes adjust in the darkness before knowing where you should go.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? BRÄLLE : This was recorded on my cd’s at home into Logic X, where I add various atmospheric layers on-the-fly as the mix progresses.
Virtual Underground : What about the scene in Brooklyn? BRÄLLE : The scene in Brooklyn is healthy and exciting for a newcomer. There is a lot of impressive local talent, innovating after-hour crews and a solid stream of underground acts every weekend. It is certainly the best scene within North America.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ? BRÄLLE : My next plans are to focus more on live performance and Dj’ing within my scene and work on releasing the mountain of tracks that I have finished. I tend to stockpile my creations until I get lost in them. Lots more to come!

Interview : Virtual Underground : How has this Melissa D'Lima story started ? Melissa D'Lima : I started Djing just under a year ago. I was in love with techno music and I decided to teach myself how to DJ for fun. I quickly found my style was the harder and more extreme forms of techno. I was lucky and got a chance to play quite early on. After that, more things came along such as podcasts and through this more people got to see my stuff. Naturally I wanted to have my own productions and so a bit later on I spent time working on producing . I got to work with some really nice labels that represent my style well. I was really lucky for the chances that I got in the start and I am really grateful for them.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ? Melissa D'Lima : really I draw a lot of inspiration. from other artists. there are some people that I think are really instrumental to me and how I developed. WNDRLST, Nico Moreno, Axel Picodot, ØRGIE, Veta.M and many more, I was influenced by them and their music always helped me. I really like the underground scene and going out and being part of it like that, also inspires me so much.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? Melissa D'Lima : for me track selection is my favourite part and I spend really a lot of time and detail on it. I like to mix tracks that are similar and always I like to have different sections of the set. For example I can start with industrial, and then move to hard techno and later gabber or other hardcore genres. In terms of actual mixing, I like to give enough time to each track to showcase its main parts. but also I like things to be moving fast, to go with the high BPM. I pay a lot of attention to little things really .
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Melissa D'Lima : this set I recorded with Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 · Pioneer DJM-900NXS2
VU : What are your next plans ? Melissa D'Lima : my next plans are to continue to play out as much as I can. in particular I really hope to continue to have my close relationship with jaded. I have been really happy with all of my times there so far and I feel they helped me so much, especially to define exactly my style. I also look to play in more countries and experience the scenes they have there. I am lucky to say I will be starting in Belgium on NYE and also in January, Spain. also I am putting more time into production, I think I know now precisely what I want to produce. I will put my first EP out in the new year. I hope to continue to release on the more independent and underground labels.
Virtual Underground presenting Lorenzo Papini @lorenzo_papini
Interview :
Virtual Underground : How has this Lorenzo Papini story started ? Lorenzo Papini : My story has started around one year and and half ago. I’ve always loved digging into Techno and (a bit later) Industrial Techno and I’ve dedicated most of my recent life on looking and listening to a lot of new music every day just as pure passion. This, alongside the various techno and (more recently) industrial techno scene in London, also helped me to build my own prospective of Industrial Techno. So at some point, also thanks to some friends who pushed me in this direction and taught me how to DJ, I felt the need to start and share with people my own idea of music.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? Lorenzo Papini : I mainly draw my inspiration from the Industrial Techno scene itself and among my favourite DJs/Producers I can surely name Axel Picodot, Paramod and OGUZ even tho it’s very difficult to make a narrow selection of artists at the moment. I also follow with big interest Gabber and Hardtechno waves.
Virtual Underground :Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? Lorenzo Papini : I see my vision of Industrial Techno as a journey through the darkest and fastest side of 4/4 techno with acid, acidcore, gabber, hardtechno and hardcore influences and my music selection has based on this idea. When I record a podcast I see it as an escalation from Techno to Hardcore with a lot of different influences in between and doing so I try to offer a 360 degree vision of my sound.
Virtual Underground :Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Lorenzo Papini : I used an Allen & Heat Xone 92 mixer, an Allen & Heath Xone K2 MIDI controller and a MacBook Pro to run Traktor Pro 3.0.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ? Lorenzo Papini : My next most important plan is surely contributing to the scene with my first releases and regarding it I have a 3 tracks EP ready to go out on January. I’m already working on new projects and my goal would be to release 8/10 tracks by the end of 2020. Looking ahead I also have other plans in mind but right now I feel all my focus need to be on producing even tho I won’t stop releasing podcast as it’s something I really love to do!
Presenting dille @dille114
Interview :
Virtual Underground : How has this dille story started ? Dille : It started in 2017, one year after my first techno rave. I was fascinated by discovering this kind of music that I haven’t known before. The motivation to do it by myself came through some friends that were also DJing and have let me use their turntables. So I started to collect own records and quickly got me my own gear.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? Dille : From hearing music all day long, I guess. It´s very pleasing for me to find new Artists/Labels that are making great music.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your mixing process ? Dille : That´s hard to tell! Podcasts, for example, don´t always reflect how I would play in a club setting. It takes it´s time to get in the right mood and even then I´m not always happy with the result and delete it.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Dille : 2x Pioneer CDJ-2000 NXS & 1x Allen&Heath XONE 92
Virtual Underground :What are your next plans ? Dille : About 4/5 months ago I started to learn producing and it makes a lot of fun. So my only plan is to reach a level that I´m happy with but that will take a lot of time, I guess.
Tracklist: Noneoftheabove - Signs of demonic possession (d_b 666 remix) Koszmar - Sad Nebula Hadone - Hate After Midnight (Manni Dee Remix) Mickey Nox - RIOT Shield REMY-X - Raw Acid Line I Hate Models - Prey for Lust (Cleric Remix) Falhaber - Synergy Axel Picodot - Acid Train Tripped - Nipples (Flick it) Oguz - Dancing With The Devil (Axel Picodot Remix) Brecc - Delusional World (ILLNURSE Remix) 6ejou - Techno Des Cimetières

Virtual Underground : How has this Ace Acid story started ? Ace Acid : It started about a year ago. I have been producing and DJ'ing all types of music for a long time, but since a year I have really been getting into techno production. Right now I'm studying electronic music production, and I'm still learning every day.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? Ace Acid : Honestly I dont know haha. I jump into the studio, and start my process and think of what type of track I want to make, do some sound design and see what happens. DJ-wise I draw my inspiration from my favourite DJ's Kobosil and Dax J.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your mixing process ? Ace Acid : When I schedule a podcast I look for the sound I wanna go for, and most of the time I would look for new music to add. When theres time I put a lot of tracks that would work in a playlist and hop in the DJ-booth.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Ace Acid : For this set I used the Pioneer-XDJ-RX2.
Virtual Underground : What are you next plans? Ace Acid : My next plans are stepping up my music production level and keep on releasing podcasts!

Interview :
Virtual Underground: How has this Opäk story started ? Opäk : I made acoustic music since was young. I play drums and I did a conservatory before starting to play blues / rock / punk with my friends! Then when I went to university, these projects ended, we were all in different cities. I made new friends, all techno fan. I did my first techno nights.... During one, when i was in party in front of "I hate models" at his beginnings, I knew that this was somehow the new essence of punk. So after started with playing with my first little pioneer mixing table and a computer, the Opäk project was born.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? Opäk : I find my inspiration in all the music that has nourished me from my childhood to here. From rock to metal, from blues to stoner, from EBM to Techno, from Techno to Acid, from industrial to hardcore. I often define myself as a "Industrial Techno " artist but in the end, I think the richness is to open up my influences as much as possible! if I have to name names that I have listened to a lot I will say The Doors, Rage Against The Machine, Official Motörhead, The Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson then in techno I Hate Models, RVDE, Gijensu, Ancient Methods, Phase Fatale, Tommy Four Seven, Ansome, Ayarcana, Myler, TWAN and many other artists in the same genre.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your mixing process ? Opäk : For me the role of the DJ is like that of the sculptor, he must shape the atmosphere and take people on his journey. As a story it is important to have a beginning, a middle and a logical end, so the selection is made in such a way as to respect this narrative scheme! Then of course the best is to perceive only slightly the transitions between the tracks and that they bring a new breath to the set.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Opäk : I used CDJs and a DJM900 and then I equalized the mix on bleachton so that the audio quality and the feeling was pleasant, simply ahaha
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ? Opäk : What I prefer for the moment is the "show and concert" part I like to perform in search of people, their opinions, emotions. This is the area where I am most comfortable and very beautiful dates like the pulse festival, Entente nocturne arrive. I also created my own label: Askorn Records, which I intend to develop, and finally I am working hard to improve and work to release my first EP which should arrive in 2020.

Virtual Underground : How has this Clinical Hates story started ? Clinical Hates : In 2018 There was one event on khidi, where were my favourite artists, especially SNTS which is the best artist for me right now and was for a long time also. After i listened to him there was like many changes in me, i found new inspiration and decided to make different music from other techno tracks, this is how i decided to make project with name of Clinical Hates.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? Clinical Hates : My inspiration comes from my mind, my thoughts and my fantasy, my workplace, my dreams and from every single step which i see in everyday life.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your mixing process ? Clinical Hates : I will not argue for a long time about it, I do not think it is necessary, this is a very pleasant process.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? Clinical Hates : I used Traktor program to record a set, which am still working on.
Virtual Underground : Any plans in the near future ? Clinical Hates : I certainly have good plans for the future, Personal development as the most important, i will not talk about future, i just don't like to talk about it.

Virtual Underground : How has this noimage story started ? noimage : The story began in 2018 when I started producing tracks inspired by ben and Jeff Mills, then I discovered the world of hard techno and started producing at 145-150 bpm exactly and then started to DJ and save tracks.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? noimage : I really like to watch when people dance to my music, especially when cool DJs play it like my friend Nastya Zimens, she really charges me with energy and when I listen to new works by different artists I catch their vibes and produce something of my own with that inspiration.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? noimage : djm 800 cdj850 and some disgusting monitors that were in the studio.
Virtual Underground : Any plans in the near future ? noimage : my work on FALSIVE RECORDS label is coming out soon ;)

Virtual Underground : How has this She!k story started ? She!k : I used to play techno and acid through the nineties on vinyl whilst studying Architecture at University. I gave it up after work and family took over, but eventually I got some cheap controllers to mess around with Traktor. I enjoyed layering loops and adding different kicks etc. with Ableton. After a while I was more into creating the textures and percussion to play over the top of tracks. I started to get modular gear after watching a live set by Surgeon. She!k grew out of that really.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from? Recently, I have been really intrigued by artists recording very organic sounds, like trickling water and converting the sample into midi notes for drums or other notes. It could also be some new gear, or hearing an interesting track which might trigger some curiosity... Sometimes watching a film makes me want to emulate the same atmosphere.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your sound selection and mixing process ? She!k : A lot of it is intuitive. Whilst I'm getting better at pre-planning drum patterns and which sounds or voices I want to blend together, I always forget, particularly with drum patterns... I'm also really prone to adding too much, so I have to keep reminding myself to keep it simple. I enjoy blending contrasting textures so one bass line might carry some filthy distortion with a really clean glassy bleep cutting through, or vice versa. I suppose I always start from somewhere small. I used a clouds module at the beginning of this recording. It's a granular sampler / synth module and is brilliant for creating atmosphere. Then the mix can emerge from there. I am also into quite raspy synths at the moment, so I've been letting them loose recently. I really love the long atmospheric mixes from Rrose and Lucy so a lot of my recent recordings follow that hypnotic, textural path. I really love the hard, industrial and aggressive stuff too, but it's not easy to move between these styles...
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? She!k : No software, although I sometimes sample reaktor if I've managed to find an interesting ensemble... I use a Pioneer Toraiz SP16 for the main percussion patterns as well as a few other sampled klangs etc. I really like the playability of this sampler despite its limitations. A lot of the sound I have in my library is field recorded from building sites. I always take my zoom recorder when I'm visiting projects in case someone is angle grinding or shot firing something. All the synth voices are from my modular. I have 4 main synth voices as well 2 percussion modules; a basimilus and a clever cv controlled sampler called Transients which I use for background layers. I also have a 303 module, but I'm not so into the acid sound at the moment. These are all controlled by a nerdeq sequencer, which is a fantastic stacker sequencer. I have several modulation modules which I use to model different aspects of the voices. All the voices are mixed on a mackie 1642 vlz desk. I have a geiger counter distortion module, trshmstr filter, a 2hp reverb and a erica synths dsp delay.
Virtual Underground : What are your next plans ? She!k : Get more live exposure... I'm starting to make better contacts for that, but it's taken ages. I want to add more variety in the drum patterns when I play a set. I always seem to stick with one... I also really need to finish at least one of the tracks I've started...

Virtual Uderground : How has this SÆLEM story started . SÆLEM : It all started in the middle of the Parisian warehouses where I started discovering tracks then I got some gear and started mixing and producing. It's only been 6 months since I started really learning, right now I just want to improve.
Virtual Uderground : Where do you draw your inspiration from? SÆLEM : I am lucky to live in Paris where many international DJs come and where there are excellent schedules every weekend. I can therefore listen to a great diversity of artists and atmospheres. I also have a very good record shop haha big up Techno Import.
Virtual Uderground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? SÆLEM : It's very compulsive. I am constantly digging whether it is in vinyl, on soundcloud in sets. I select tracks with particular atmospheres above all. Once my selection is made, I try to make pairs between harmonically compatible tracks and I build my sets that way.
Virtual Uderground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set? SÆLEM : I used a DDJ-1000 and rekordbox pioneer with 1 turntable. I did a combination of digital and vinyl.
Virtual Uderground : What are your next plans ? SÆLEM : Currently I just released a new track that is in the mix and available for free download. I will continue to make some individual releases before producing my first EP for 2020 which will serve as a demo for labels.

Virtual Underground : How has this cmnd:Z story started ? cmnd:Z : After meeting in music school and working together for several years to reach a specific style of sound, Parth and David decided to start this collaboration in the spring of 2018.
Virtual Underground : Where do you draw your inspiration from ? cmnd:Z : Most of our inspiration is drawn from the parties we attend to the people we meet. Lots of artists showcased through the various LBGQT+ and POC collectives that Brooklyn has to offer, have shown us that the underground isn't dead and that it is indeed well and striving.
Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ? cmnd:Z : Our sound is primarily comprised of industrial to rave essentials. Our BPM can range anywhere from 130 and above. When we dig for music, we try not to focus on any particular style, but more so of how we can incorporate it into our set.
Virtual Underground : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ? cmnd:Z : This set was recorded with traktor DJ software and a traktor S4 DJ controller.
Virtual Underground : Any plans in the near future ? cmnd:Z : Our upcoming plans include getting our 2nd EP completed and released as well as playing a wide selection of shows.

Presenting Gus, Utrecht Based Techno Producer & DJ , follow him on Soundcloud @gus_techno
Virtual Underground : What things and people inspire you most ? Gus : When i started mixing my focus was mainly on the dark techno scene in cologne. Artists like In2AUX, Eugen Kunz, Robust, PRODX, Lukas Freudenberger, Cortechs and Steve Shadenwere examples for how i want my music to sound. The last years there has been kind of a shift in modern Techno. The Industrial sound is getting bigger and so is my taste more going the industrial way. Although i still love the Cologne's dark techno scene and still follow their progress i now get my inspiration from artists like WNDRLST, DYEN, Tyrant, Incident Prism and Nico Moreno. I'm still partying a lot aswell, this gives me inspiration about how i could mix tracks and what sound i like to make in my productions. This how i keep developing and renewing my skills.

Presenting Wanton @robin-van-genechten DJ and producer from Geel, Belgium.
Virtual Underground : What things and people inspire you most?
Wanton : The person that inspired me the most is my mentor from my first education Staf Verbeeck. Not only did he show us the passion and all his tricks in recording and mixing bands and music, he showed me how to be someone in the music world. The most humble and helpful person I have ever met. He taught me that you should do it because of the passion and not for fame or money. Do it because you love it. His story inspired me a lot. The next person would be Ignace Dhont. In addition to the first education, I did a second education in Utrecht Holland, named Sound Education, where he was my teacher. Next to all the amazing people I met and spoke to in the music industry, he focused on making us strong in our mindset. From lesson one he gave us speeches about believing in our ourselves. He brainwashed me into a positive guy with a strong mindset. And for me that was the best thing he could teach me, because it made me inspire other people to go for their dreams and believe in theirselves. Next to those 2 guys I get inspired by all the people around me. My friends and people I meet during my journey.

Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? Stygian : I always try to set the tone from the first sound of my mix, I always start with a hard sound that turns around 135/140BPM, which leaves me some room afterwards to increase the pace and intensity of the mix. I don't really have a Tempo limit, only the atmosphere matters to me.

Virtual Underground : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process? HS : At the moment I'm still very busy searching for my own style! But what's online now can be described as fast and hard techno with lots of melodies in it, usually 145 to 155 bpm with an occasional peak of 160 bpm. The last week I'm a bit more busy with 134/140 dark industrial!

VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process?
Khalmo : Music selection is quite a challenge, probably even more than the mixing itself, i always make a plan, sorting out track by styles and speed, then make another selection before i begin playing. I just simply work with phrase mixing, i like to introduce a new track in a very smooth way, blending them into each other, sometimes it sounds very fun keeping up both if it works out that fine. Mixing gives me pleasure and very relaxing for me. Main styles like to spin are techno, hardcore and dnb (breakbeats are definitely great to work with and sometimes very challenging).

I went to techno parties on a regular base, experiencing the performances of great artists like: Paula Temple, Rebekah, SNTS, Perc, etc. I used to listen to all of these artists on spotify back in the day. Now that I started producing techno music, I discovered the greatness of the underground techno scene. There are many underground techno artists, producing high quality industrial techno. This definitely inspires me the most in producing my music.

Presenting Orbs @orbs1999, a young techno-duo based in the Netherlands.
Virtual Underground : What things inspires most your work?
Orbs : We like a lot of different styles and are mostly inspired by the significant energy that we get from techno. So that’s what we try to do with Orbs. A variation of dark, melodic and up-tempo vibes, creating a special energy for others. For this podcast we used some darker, minimal techno with punchy kicks, acid and a lot of energy in it as we always strive to. Most of our work so far is a fast, happy and bouncy type of techno. Some artists that inspire us are AIROD, Randomer, AnD, Héctor Oaks among others. We think they also try to keep a variation in their sets/work and are always trying to create something new or different.

Presenting Niccolò Baldacci aka Feverwax @feverwax
This set was recorded last week at Disagio Club in Florence, Italy.
Virtual Underground How has this FeverWax story started? Niccolò Baldacci : Born in Florence since I was young I start to be really in love with techno music especially with artist such Dave Clarke and Joey Beltram. Growing up I decided to move to London where I start to improve my music knowledge getting in touch with more Industrial and Acid sounds.

Virtual Underground : Could you tell us more about your track selection and mixing process? STX : When it comes to my mixing process, my goal is to create intense moments throughout the set. It is something I really value because it excites the physical part of the music, which is dancing. The harder the music, the harder the people dance. Regarding track selection when DJing, I don't fully plan my sets. I just take into consideration the venue, the time slot im playing and what I want to express.

Presenting @balrogtechno a hard-hitting techno producer and DJ from the UK.
Hailing from the Yorkshire Dales just outside of Leeds, Balrog has supplanted himself in the darker and heavier side of the genre with a focus on heavy unrelenting drums, driving bass and obscure distorted vocals.
Virtual Underground : What inspires your work? Balrog: I think I’m inspired most by the varied genres of music I listen to. Obviously i listen to a lot of techno but I love Chicago house, DnB, Disco, Rock, Metal. It all influences my productions. Also I love to sample films or elements of films, as is probably apparent from my artist name I’m a huge Lord Of The Rings fan and it often creeps in to my work. One of my latest releases on Yucatech Recordings “I See You” is a classic example.

How has this TC555 story started? Some day tilman brought some of his equipment to my flat and both of us instantly felt this connection.. we wouldn't have to prepare anything, it just worked.
What inspires your work? Our sets are inspired by the music and sounds we are confronted with every day // TC555
Could you tell us about your selection and mixing process? Every new session we try to work differently, this creates completely new sounds again and again.
What software/hardware do you use? When we play together we use ableton and traktor with some korg synthesizers a MIDI keyboard and the machine jam / mikro.
What about your next plans? Making new tracks, using more analog gear, and organising events that connect techno and art

Virtual Underground : From where do you draw you r inspiration Tek!Now! : Inspirations: i listen to all style of music.... but inspirations in my heart & life... every day... one moment....one emotion.... one sound ! no method to make mixing... no preparation, no tracklist.... all is make with feelings of the moment.
Link to Interview : https://www.facebook.com/virtualundergroundtechno/posts/825053217848095
"... I do make tracks without a reference track as well. I think about what I want people to hear or feel when they listen to a track, and I try to create a track which embodies those emotions. Emotion is always tricky. For me they’re extremely transient. I’ll feel angry one day and start a track, but then the next day I won’t feel the same way so the track stays unfinished. There are emotions about certain topics that linger because they’re complicated. For example, how I feel about my country. That’s something that has been around for years. I wouldn’t say it’s bottled up because I do talk about it all the time, but it’s something that I can’t sum up in a sentence. Those kinds of emotions are good sources of inspiration, I think."

The second one is the documentary movie about rabbits spreading between the Berlin Wall during the time of NRD/DDR. After it felt in 1990 the amount of rabbits became a food for local people.

Virtual Underground : What motivates you to do your music? The Euphoretic : To make music inspires my listeners who are waiting for my podcasts, it really is an incentive for me, and thanks to music I can fully realize myself in it, because cockroaches are in everyone's head ))
Virtual Underground : what are the artists that inspire your work? The Euphoretic : If you take the music of my countrymen may distinguish in it : slow life programm, Nikita Zabelin,Vladimir Dubushkin, AL-90 , Locked Club ,Poima,Spekulant,PTU,Sirius C ,Stanislav Tolkachev,Nocow and other ) from Europeans I can point to: Bjarki, ArchivOne, Dax J, I Hate Models, YYYY and Sleeparchive

Podcast #53 - WNDRLST (@wndrlstt) [NL]
Interview with WNDRLST:
Virtual Underground: How have you discovered Techno music? WNDRLST: I think I'm going to give a very common answer and say that one of my friends dragged me into it about 3 years ago (and still super glad he did today). I've always been interested in Electronic music but eventually got convinced to attend a techno festival in summer 2015 and pretty much fell in love with it since then. It wasn’t a hard techno party but it didn’t take me long to attend the more darker scene too which definitely is the scene I love the most. I’ve been DJ’ing and producing as a hobby for roughly 10 years now (on and off) and eventually started messing around creating my first techno loops. After 2 years of experimenting trying to create my own sounds I finally found the confidence to release tracks and sets as I am a perfectionist kind of guy and wish to show nothing less than the best I can possibly deliver.
VU: What motivates you to do your music? WNDRLST: The strive to learn to create new sounds every time I open my producing software. I’ve definitely got artists that inspire me and as much as I love their sound I do want to develop my own style and have people recognise it eventually and sort of ‘claim’ my own role in the scene. As of currently I am definitely more confident with producing than I am with DJ’ing so I suppose the ultimate motivation at this point would be to have one of my tracks played by a big artist on some massive event/gig.
VU Any artists that inspire your work? WNDRLST: Rebekah, Paula Temple, Dax J, Ansome, Perc, Ghost in the Machine - there are too many to list here, as long as its dark and industrial I’ll find bits and pieces in their tracks that draw my attention.
VU: How do you find your tracks? WNDRLST: Some of my friends DJ/Produce, we share tracks quite often and if not that, I’d plan in an evening to browse Soundcloud and usually end up with a good tracklist by the end of the evening.
VU: What software/hardware do you use? WNDRLST: Currently FL Studio 20 - picking up my first hardware piece soon, so after that a mixture of Ableton Live/FL Studio.
VU: Anything to add? WNDRLST:Firstly, thanks for the opportunity and a thank you to whoever have listened to the mix - greatly appreciated. I’ve also just released my first EP named “Path of Destruction” including 4 dark techno tracks which you’ll be able to find on my Soundcloud profile. Currently no gigs planned although I am attending a couple of competitions which could potentially lead to claiming a spot in a line-up somewhere, therefore I would like to ask for any of you to give me a follow or drop me some feedback in general - constantly willing to improve.
Thanks WNDRLST for this amazing set!

I think it was around ’95 when I was 12 years old. That really opened my eyes to all the various electronic music out there. I really got to love some drum&bass tunes (eg. Bassface Sascha, Tech Itch Recordings, Ed Rush) as well as classic jungle stuff. Also my brother who is 2 years older started listening to some electronic music in the late 90’s like garage, Tech-house, prog house, Techno. Through him I also heard various kinds of electronic music.

VU: How do you find your tracks? StO: I listen to a lot of mixes, I am following the new releases of my favorite labels and obviously I am following a lot of artists on Soundcloud.

Right now I am working on a mix of my productions only but unfortunately I do not have too much time to spare these days.

He started as a dj in raves and free parties and began production a few years ago, then founded his own label Grabaciones Autobombo. Yunclas has since then released several works on this label as well as an album on NEN Records, and also participated in many compilations.
His music is influenced by very different things such as industrial, dark ambient, or kraut rock, although with techno always as a central point of reference.
Sumof (@sssumofff) is the alias of Cloves, a brazilian DJ who has a past as label owner and DJ of Dark Ambient and Industrial from 2005 to 2009. Natural from Goiânia, now living in São Paulo, he's still focused on exploring the obscure aspects of underground electronic music, from Industrial to EBM and Techno, creating a deep mind trip with his mixes.
Prophän (@prophan303) is a Moroccan techno artist from Rabat, and founder of "Mindless" crew whose main goal is to bring the techno scene where it is almost inexistant. Prophän's music is a cross between modern minimalistic techno and old school banging face eaters largely inspired by the UK and birmingham sound as showcased in this mix which contains a few unreleased tracks. His first release is expected to come on the swedish imprint Corseque records in a few weeks along with other talented artists like Hemka, WarinD , or Mike Wall (Rip).

Tom, a born and raised Bochumer, and Sebastian, who moved to Bochum for university. They met at SAE Bochum and soon realized that their taste for music production was identical. Only a few months after the name was born, they became residents at Canvas, a local Bochum party series, and shared the decks with big names like TWR72 and Remco Beekwilder.

Orphée is an aspiring french producer&DJ based in Montreal that focuses on the darker corners of techno.
To me electronic music sonically mirrors the society we live in: more urban, more digital, more painted by concrete, metallic sounds. Sometimes aggressive, sometimes softer. My take on this music is exactly that, pleasing the ear by putting together the sounds that we hear everyday in a creative and yet coherent way...' - Orphee

Markus Kovacs started Djing in 1997 on two belt-drive turntables. The Presswerk Munich, recordstore, DJ-booking and events, managed his first performances in Germany and Austria under his former artistname "Project2504". He played on techno-events, like the open air festival in Schwaz (Aut), at the "Temple Club (Reactor) Munich "Potempkin Club III" and the Club "Marrakesch" at Kunstpark Ost (Munich).
After ten years living at Berlin, where he was influenced by the electro-techno styles, he went back to Munich. Now the digital era opened doors and he switched to work with Traktor Scratch. Sometimes to combine vinyls and digital track or to play with different loops on three decks. He´s next back on stage at the Kult Beat event at the Tante Erna - Optimolwerke Podcast #10 will be soon available in private mode on www.thevirtualunderground.com and then shared publicly on soundcloud.
