Reclaim Your City 577 | Zadig (Paris)Continually pushing the boundaries between plain DJ-friendly functionality and abstract-leaning tendencies, Parisian producer Zadig has carved a niche for himself at the forefront of the European techno scene thanks to his quality-driven approach and keenness to explore the uncharted. Boss of the ever future-facing record label Construct Re-Form, whose name says it all about his take on the genre, Zadig keeps on dishing out challenging opuses in sound, naturally inclined to break down and reinvent old mechanisms rather than phrase it like everyone else. His blends, extrapolating relatively classic 4x4 rhythms to seemingly incompatible territories, are both bold statements and question marks altogether. Brace yourself for a two-hour field trip across jagged industrial reliefs and more laid-back, thought-provoking environments.

Reclaim Your City 576 | Dold (Stockholm)One of Sweden’s most monitored prospects within the techno realm, Dold has been making waves thanks to a stream of boundary-pushing rippers for the likes of KEY, Float, MindTrip and his Arsenik label this past couple of years. Adding his playful spin to the gridlocked tech continuum, Dold - real name Patrik Eriksson - embarks us on a bumpy, unrelenting ride across jagged IDM scapes and electroid reliefs only he knows the path to. Enter a trip bound to have you headbanging to a never-ending assault of heavily trippin’ four-to-the-floor, arpeggiated zen-like cascades of sound and other nimble junglistic pleasures, perfect to keep everyone guessing what the next bar holds. Keeping it fresh no matter what. Soundcloud: bit.ly/dold_scFacebook: bit.ly/dold_fbInstagram: bit.ly/dold_igBandcamp: bit.ly/dold_bcResident Advisor: bit.ly/dold_ra
Reclaim Your City 575 | Windfuhr (Berlin)A rising name in Berlin’s ever crowded pool of talents, Eerste Communie resident Windfuhr has been developing his own idiosyncratic persona at the junction of heavy-traction 4x4 rhythms and deep, hypnotic folds of intricate melodies and exotica-laced electronics. Minimal in essence but maximal in effect, his compositions bridge the gap between stripped-back functionality and dreamy escapology, neatly coordinating the throbbing cavalcade of racy uptempo machine funk with layered, modular-like transmissions as his feverish drum programming leads the charge. No doubt Windfuhr’s name is one you’ll hear a lot more in 2024.Soundcloud: bit.ly/windfuhr_scFacebook: bit.ly/windfuhr_fbInstagram: bit.ly/windfuhr_igResident Advisor: bit.ly/windfuhr_ra
Reclaim Your City 574 | Lewis Fautzi (Barcelos)An habitué of seminal techno labels such as Rotterdamian outlet Mord Records and Spanish imprint PoleGroup, Portuguese producer Lewis Fautzi has been dishing out warehouse rippers one after the other this past decade. Now at the helm of his own structure, Faut Section, Fautzi keeps on serving up that fiery mix of no-nonsense industrial pound and mental techno ostinatos, ready to subjugate any crowd in its drop zone. Clearly not for the faint of heart, his blends combine the wildness of 909-powered trampling with untamed onslaughts of hypnotic synth furls and heavy-duty, aggro percussions gone rogue. Treat yourself to an absolute mind-boggler of a mix with this two-hour jaunt into Fautzi’s delectably murky sonic domain.

Reclaim Your City 573 | Sandrien (Amsterdam)A key exponent of Amsterdam’s techno scene, Sandrien definitely counts as one of the finest jockeys around. A gifted selector and just as skilled groove manipulator, she has been a constant in a world full of variables, quietly making it to the top of the game thanks to her impeccably crafted sets, both alone and alongside legends such as Ben Sims, DJ Nobu or Inigo Kennedy. Tirelessly pushing for new approaches to DJing and also production, Sandrien has been carving out a niche of her own, elegantly weaving the classic drive of 90s techno with an all-embracing, future-facing take on electronics, always eager to incorporate new tropes and ways to tell her musical story on the dance floor. Slip into a world full of off-kilter analogue magic and deep-diving tech-y escapism, and let yourself get carried away.

Reclaim Your City 571 | Rrose (London)Ho ho ho, the mystery-shrouded Rrose - named after Marcel Duchamp’s eponymous persona, punches in right on cue for Xmas with an absolute monster of a two-hour jaunt into their exquisitely twisted headspace. Having served up some of the finest techno slabs of the past decade through the likes of Sandwell District, Stroboscopic Artefacts and now their own dedicated imprint, Eaux, Rrose steps in the series with a bonkers mix of dusty techno hustle-and-bustle, neatly alternating sequences of pumping 4x4 aerobatics, searing, noise-adjacent outbursts and eerie melodies to hypnotic effect. A constant balancing act of raw power and haunting score, Rrose’s RYC mix takes us on a deep and fascinating trip into genre-unbound territories, where only abandon and wildness reign supreme.

Reclaim Your City 570 | HVL (Tbilisi)Undoubtedly one of today’s most gifted visionaries of the electronic scene, Bassiani’s beloved resident HVL has to be one of the best-kept secrets. But for how long? His sound sculptures, spanning everything ranging from kosmische-indebted downtempo to ethereal dub techno to murky, post-industrial ambient conjure up that dusty grain of Rephlex-era masterpieces and nu-age serenity, reeling off their soothing lineage across newly pollinated grounds. One for the ages, infused with that widescreen, cinematic grandiosity, HVL’s RYC mix is everything you could have wished for: the very definition of walking the surface of the moon on your own, floating away from a crater to the other with weightless agility, as the earth reveals its blue silhouette in the distance. A taste of infinity. Yes, we’re talking that kind of beautiful.

Reclaim Your City 569 | Albert van Abbe (Eindhoven)A leading figure of vanguard electronics for well over the past two decades, Albert van Abbe is the epitome of a tireless, innovation-craving trailblazer, continually seeking to open new windows for the sound he loves. From early hardcore blasts to institutional commissions, evidence says there’s no right or wrong way to explore one’s own continuum, just paths to clear and visions to have. Percolating that motto through two hours of absolutely mind-boggling rushes and U-turns, the Eindhoven-based sound builder treats us to an impeccably laid-down parade of hi-NRG old school shuffle, spiralling modular excavations and future-facing dance floor experiments halfway heavy-traction machine talk and synth-heavy sci-fi-ism. www.albertvanabbe.nlSoundcloud: bit.ly/albertvanabbe_scFacebook: bit.ly/albertvanabbe_fbInstagram: bit.ly/albertvanabbe_igBandcamp: bit.ly/albertvanabbe_bcResident Advisor: bit.ly/albertvanabbe_ra01.

Reclaim Your City 568 | Artefakt (Berlin)Ceaselessly pushing the boundaries between proper enslaving music for the mind and straight out incendiary floor dynamics bound to wreak havoc down the basement, Dutch production unit Artefakt counts as one of the country’s finest exponents of that sleek, hypnotic school of techno. Having carved out their niche as stalwarts of seminal Amsterdam-based imprint Delsin, the pair keep on dishing out their enveloping blends of silken analogue rhythms and elegant 4x4 digressions into a dreamy unknown, which the present RYC mix makes a perfect showcase of. A trance-inducing journey away from real-life hustle and across lushly-textured jungles of sound, where the martial pulse of 909s, squelchy acid tropes and magnetic deep tech elevation coalesce into a volatile mix of escapist endeavour and big-room punch from hell. Bend your mind.Soundcloud: bit.ly/artefakt_scFacebook: bit.ly/artefakt_fbInstagram: bit.ly/artefakt_igBandcamp: bit.ly/artefakt_bcResident Advisor: bit.ly/artefakt_ra
Reclaim Your City 567 | Kai van Dongen (London)Revving up towards wider recognition the past couple of years, South Africa-born / London-based producer Kai van Dongen has been dishing out peak-time bangers one after the other in recent memory, including top-of-the-range floor-destroying weaponry on labels as diverse as Truncate, 1Ø Pills Mate and New York Haunted. All about paced-up rhythmic onslaughts (that’s a euphemism), incisive breaks from hell and jaw-breaking angularity, clearly his blends are not made to be enjoyed with a scone in one hand and a teacup in the other, or else you’ll need some new tableware and shirt pronto. So what’s van Dongen’s style like for real? Fling a brick in the dishwasher and let it froth to death, that's an idea. Or just hop on board his RYC mix and feel the shockwave. Either way you’ll know for sure.Soundcloud: bit.ly/kaivandongen_scInstagram: bit.ly/kaivandongen_igBandcamp: bit.ly/kaivandongen_bcDiscogs: bit.ly/kaivandongen_dcResident Advisor: bit.ly/kaivandongen_ra

Cutting his lane at the fringe of iron-fisted industrial percussion and intricate dub mind-games, Translate has us diving deep into claustrophobic environments and across mesmerizing layers of FX-soaked dementia. Stormy and highly energetic, his style combines the ruthlessness of uptempo tech assault and eerie, post-apocalyptic audio scenarios. Fierce and uncompromising thru and thru, there goes techno at its most brutally corrosive.

Reclaim Your City 565 | Laura van Hal (Nijmegen)Having started making waves the past few years, Nijmegen-based rising DJ and producer Laura van Hal has been getting accolades from some of the best in the game including Freddy K and DVS1, and deservedly so. Fresh off her latest release on German label Synergie, Laura drops by the series with two hours of music true to the high-intensity momentums and implacable dynamics she’s been laying down throughout her sets. Hypnotic yet clearly headed for the jugular, her buildups conjure up the rugged pulsations of tribal blends with the heavy-traction precision of Birmingham-style dubs and deeper folds of ambient-oid techno. There you go for a massive, hectic workout, so ready the gym outfit and towels for you’re going to sweat buckets as your mind elevates to higher spheres of consciousness.

Reclaim Your City 564 | Tripeo (Nijmegen)A true staple of the Dutch scene and beyond for the past fifteen years, Darko Esser alias Tripeo has constantly been at the forefront of what techno can bring to the table in terms of both innovation and raw power. Responsible for memorable platters on the likes of Clone Records, Curle, Cultivated Electronics, Rekids, Bassiani and his own imprint, Wolfskuil, amongst many others, Darko has always been ahead of the curve, not just in being an absolute technical beast or through his extensive knowledge of music - which reaches way out the niche realm of techno/electronics, but in beckoning techno onto uncharted routes just like the Detroit sound paved the way for a bolder, time-transcending approach. It’s with great honour that we welcome him in the series, this time under the Tripeo moniker, for two hours of absolute batshit 4x4 frenzy. A no-miss.

Either solo-flying or going B2B as No Life Signal with fellow ://aboutblank resident THNTS, the German DJ champions a sound both intensely trippy and cutting-edge to the core.

Bathed in a thick gravy of rust-gnawed, post-industrial murk but schooled to the polyamorous horizons of '90s trip-hop, BoC-ian emotional landslides, kosmische-y jazz and claustrophobic Detroit weaponry, Bassil's mix take us for a most immersive ride down that lush and tormented headspace of his.

Astutely swinging the pendulum between reverb-soaked atmospherism and gut-churning bass assault, Angioma and BLANKA have us riding stormy sine waves and exhilarating distortions effortlessly.

Reclaim Your City 557 | Franz Jäger (Stockholm)Affiliate of the ever trustworthy Hayes Collective, as well as the SYXT connection, Stockholm operator Franz Jäger steps in our weekly mix series with two hours of utterly cinematic techno for the heads. Busting the invisible frontier between floor-focussed functionality and inward-gazing meanderings, the Swedish producer has us abseiling down a much fascinating decorum of mazy architectures and suffocating ambiences. Behind a curtain of iron-hard austerity and industrial-informed punch, a luxuriant jungle of minutely crafted sound design reveals itself, mysterious and enveloping as it gets. Make yourself at home, for Jäger certainly knows how to treat his guests with bespoke care and distinction.

Responsible for an array of quality efforts for the likes of Clergy and Nachtstrom Schallplatten over the years, Fahad has consistently laid down non-formulaic techno with a truly honest and singular approach.

Moving lithely from jagged floor sweepers to clean-cut, reverb-soaked weaponry, via full-fledged industrial tramplers and hair-raising mentalisers, the sound of Linear System is as elusive as his persona. Putting you off the scent with every bar, the faceless producer and jockey likes busting assumed protocoles and unimaginative stasis, and his sets are testimonies to very much this: techno’s oblique power of rebellion. LS’ RYC drop provides the wares for riotous get-together and an absolute belter of a two-hour ride. Night and day, in the wee morning or at night, stakes are you’re in for a gratifying helluva trip.

Blazing his own lane outside normative boxes and freak-controlled categories of sound, Hester much rather indulges in hybridising and upcycling so-called tropes to freshen our vision and expand our horizons.

Reclaim Your City 490 | Samuli Kemppi (Helsinki)
Though relatively small in size, the Finnish scene has provided the internationale of techno with some key players over the years, including our next RYC show guest, Samuli Kemppi. Having stacked some impressive releases for the likes of Ostgut-Ton, Mote Evolver, Nonplus, M_Rec and more, the Helsinki-based sound architect’s name has become synonymous with top-of-the-range deep and hi-impact 4x4 DJ wares. Dwelling the subliminal frontier betwixt pitch-dark ambiences, laser-precise rhythmic mastery and an ever-astoundingly minute care for sound design, Samuli’s trenchantly hypnotic style sure lacks no floor-enslaving potency as his new mix for us attests to. Surrender to the Scandinavian wizard’s entrancing masterclass.

Reclaim Your City 489 | Amotik (Berlin)
Berlin’s hard-hitting maestro Amotik, real name Anil Chawla, is our guest this week for a two-hour leg of unremittingly rough-on-the-heart sonic aggression. At the helm of his own eponymous record label, Chawla has been serving up some of the most corrosive, jaw-breaking, knee-buckling material in the field of industrial techno, one you can definitely rely on when in need for a full mental reset, but also some of the most intriguing beatless, ambient-friendly gems at times. More regularly dishing out trampling kicks by the dozen, and as many snare uppercuts in near subliminal fashion so much your ears are filled to the brim with that thick and oily assembly-line thunder, Amotik drags us by the feet straight into the furnace. Burn like candles under the red-hot sun.

Silky-smooth yet hi-octane, introspective yet all-in on the powerhouse dynamics, his epic-sized blends cross-pollinate a wide spectrum of ambiences and emotions. Enter a realm of constant ambiguity, relentlessly doing the splits between verbed-out psychoactivity and forward-dashing, alien-engineered grooves that utterly feel and sound like they were built somewhere in a galaxy far, far away.

Roaming the confines of dub techno and genre-bending abstraction, Jeroen’s sound makes for a highly dynamic pulsar of textured magnetism and deeper-than-deep, inward-gazing developments.

Lock in now for two hours of JS's own massive, mostly unheard material.

Unflinchingly innovative and clinical in his approach towards both DJing and production, Sigha clocks in our series with two-hours spanning most of the variegated post-modernist flavours he’s come to advocate, fusing an enduring taste for reconfigured dubstep tropes, a stripped-down, melancholic 4x4 syntax and above all, that alchemical mixing science that attests to the power of music as a shapeless drive belt for the most fathomless kind of human emotion.

As a true master of the tempo and buildup, Norman sure knows when to ease off the accelerator and when to rev up the engines. Generous when the mind begs for more spacious headspace to wander in, tightening the bolts with clockmaker precision when the room screams punishment. An absolute belter of a vinyl-only masterclass, from a faultless legend behind the decks.

Reclaim Your City 429 | Vincent Neumann (Leipzig)
At the controls of this week's Rinse transmission is a DJ we particularly look up to. Hailing out of Leipzig, Vincent Neumann is the epitome of a skilled jockey, clinical on the momentum and transition but by no means standoffish or emotionless. Far from that, his sets deploy the most infectious arsenal of incendiary wares, spanning the whole spectrum of electronics with panache and poise. Psychotherapist by trade, Neumann's acute understanding of the dancer's psyche sure shines bright through this helluva hectic treat. To those who've been lucky enough to attend one of his seminal ten-hour sets this will ring a most emotional bell, to those who're yet to experience it, we're certain the present mix will offer an ideal point of entry into his ever-tasteful selections and supreme knack for groove manipulation. Top-shelf material.

A staple contributor to some of today's finest techno outlets including MORD, Modularz, Klockworks and more, Lisbon’s Temudo has earnt his stripes as a most reliable purveyor of non-formulaic hard-hitters and sharp-minded club material. Constantly pushing the boundaries of techno as a genre and means of expression, the Portuguese DJ and producer has been forging his own - high - standard of functional yet self-determined music, which his RYC mix showcases in all its raw, quintessential power.

No new face to our show, Stockholm-based jockey Lego returns to the series with two-hours of her own crowd-pulling hypnotech blends, geared to overwhelm and entrance all at once. Expert in 4x4 ballistic, which she enjoys fusing with magma-hot tides of acid bass and jaw-breaking kick drums from the depths, the Swedish DJ here again flaunts the shape-shifting quality of her mixing, tied with an undeniable knack for creating truly vibrant dancefloor momentums.

Taking over the waves of our radio show this week is Madrid-based DJ and producer Tadeo - up with a choice two-hour voyage across angle-shifting mental techno scapes and further off-piste meanderings. Championing a vanguard sound ID that doesn't take anything for granted, the cyclicaltracks boss weaves his pulsating compositions with layers of intricately built textures and an otherworldly arsenal of FX to keep things effervescently stimulating from the first minute onward - which the present mix sure nails with raging presence and boundary-pushing bravura.

Reclaim Your City 425 | Eric Fetcher (Barcelona)
Our guest this week is French DJ and producer Eric Fetcher. Best known for his fine mental dash and intricate modular assemblies which have been featured on the likes of Granulart, Pole Group, Tsunami Records and KEY, the Barcelona-based hypnotist laid down for us a two-hour shy mind-boggler of a - vinyl-only - mix. A true Rorschach test of gridlocked machine funk interwoven with tuff-as-nail hardware bursts and more atmospheric flights, this one will keep you guessing as to what the next bar may bring to the table. Slave mode activated.

Reclaim Your City 424 | Ctrls (Copenhagen)
Up next with an idiosyncratically hypnotic, massive-as-usual delivery is Token mainstay and Copenhagen-based floor destroyer Ctrls. Initially schooled to the feverish sound of rattling jungle drums and amen breaks under the Pyro alias, Troels Baunbæk-Knudsen has vamped up his sound from stem to stern, laying the foundation to a techno body of work both inherently raw and inch-perfectly executed. A true surgeon of the groove, the Danish producer boasts his clinical skills and mind-bending mixing hoodoo in compelling style throughout. Get in the loop!

Reclaim Your City 423 | Decka (Bristol, Berlin)
Hailing from Bristol via Berlin, Decka holds the musical heritage of both his home cities pulsating through complex, cross-pollinated rhythmic structures and an ever sharp sound design that you’ll indulge losing yourself within completely. Blurring the lines between classically sequenced techno, richly textured dubs and more mischievous electroid off-road sorties, the British jockey and producer's RYC transmission hypnotizes as much as it entrances, making a point of showcasing the profound beauty that lies in subtle details and painstakingly textured sonic tableaux.

Reclaim Your City 422 | Linn Elisabet (Stockholm, Berlin)
Storming our weekly radio transmission with poise and panache is Acts Of Rebellion's chief architect Linn Elisabet, dispensing a thoroughly eclectic, deftly assembled mix that fills the gaps betwixt gridlocked analogue pulsations, multi-layered atmospheric soundscaping and vaporous, body-conscious spirituality. The result is a most immersive journey across textures and shapes, surface and depth; bringing emotional heft and ecstatic weightlessness face to face in a grandiose, soul-fulfilling symphony of sorts.

Expert exchanger of no-holds-barred, Medusean wares for big-room setups, Portuguese producer Luís Gonçalves aka Lewis Fautzi skips by the series with a continually climactic reel of full-fledged industrial dementia and outstanding momentum control. Schooled to the muscular UK and Spanish techno sound, which he's come to digest and reshape under his own high-flying standards, the Faut Section exec and PoleGroup affiliate proves yet again his stupendous ability at steering dancers into momentary oblivion with a groove for only breadcrumb trail.

Reclaim Your City 420 | A.Morgan (Manchester, UK)
Resident jockey and curator of Manchester's widely lauded Rhythm Theory parties, local techno merchant A.Morgan punches in the RYC series with two-hours of his own iron-hard warehouse blends that bang, whip and swash in equal measure. Tapping in the same solid arsenal of sharp and clinical 4x4 engineering that's innervated his output for NewRhythmic Records, Prodigal Son and Abyss, the British producer fires off a hail of harnessed brutality as we like. Beware, storm of bullets inbound.

Reclaim Your City 419 | Comrade Winston (Amsterdam)
Though a relatively well-kept secret on the international scene just yet, the name of Comrade Winston shall ring a bell to the habitués of Reaktor Events and Operator Radio, where the Amsterdam-based jockey holds a residency. A dexterous dealer of high-octane techno, which he likes to weave along fibrous jacking house, 90s strain breaks and further all-terrain body music to keep everyone pumped up on the dancefloor from start to finish, the Dutch groove manipulator goes all in with a vinyl-only delivery and shunts the engine to straight out outrageous levels of no-nonsense face-meltingness.

Reclaim Your City 418 | Mary Yuzovskaya (New York, Berlin)
Storming the waves of our Rinse show this week is Berlin-via-Brooklyn based Russian expat Mary Yuzovskaya. After grinding her teeth spinning wax in the Russian underground around the turn of the millennium, Mary chose to settle in Brooklyn, quickly making a name for herself as a deadeye, intuitive jockey seeking nothing but perfection in her craft behind the decks. Now hailing from Berlin, out of where she operates her own 2017-born imprint Monday Off, Mary made us the honour to lay down a two-hour vinyl-only scan of her typically hypnotic, depths-plumbing techno wares. A clinically-arranged, droning machines-filled analogue mayhem that sure lacks no grit thru and thru, this one’s designed and implemented to wreak havoc across the systems in good ol’ hard, dubby fashion.

A steadfast explorer of uncharted sonic territories, pushing forth both the roomily melancholic and harder, steely sides of techno music through consistently surgical productions, British-born / Berlin-based artist Ed Davenport alias Inland, boss of Counterchange, breezes in with a special two-hour safari merging the rugged with the sleek, the malleable and the iron-hard. Drawn towards the art world as a result of his own musical investigations, Davenport’s delivery follows the same principles; it eases us in a world astride, half-way all-terrain functionality and immersive abstraction all at once. An invitation to expand your mind.

Engineering a rough ’n tough mix of high-in-vitamin breaks, hefty kicks on gut-churn mode, rattling drums and sudden flights of acid-drenched swirls out a computer-controlled Orwellian future, the London-based maestro’s maiden instalment of 2021 hurls us by the scruff of the neck straight into an all-engulfing, blazing furnace of prime rave sounds. Here comes the real Advent.

Reclaim Your City 415 | Ben Sims (London)
To say that we’re chuffed to have absolute UK techno mastermind Ben Sims as our final delivery man of the year would be an understatement. Over the years, the British DJ and producer has been pushing back the limits of dance music as we know it, cutting new paths for rhythmic innovation and higher grades of popular satisfaction without giving in to the advances of brainless market sound and overhyped trends. Expect a 2 hour and a half salvo of purely hectic, bone-bruising 4-to-the-floor that’ll help lift spirits and get booties groovin’ true-school style in these complicated times. No frills 90s-bred madness inbound.

Reclaim Your City 414 | IORI (Tokyo)
A skilful architect of layered, atmospheric techno, Okinawa-born / Tokyo-based producer IORI has landed some particularly powerful platters over the past decade, including top-of-the-range records for the likes of Phonica, Prologue, Field Records, Semantica, Mule Musiq and more. Clocking in with a strikingly deep, surgically executed delivery that blurs the lines between abstract functionality and asphyxiating oneirism, IORI rushes us headlong into a brooding, dim-lit tunnel of sound where each bar cuts like a razor. Cold-headed, clinical, all-round hypnotic two-hour jaunt from a master at the top of his game.

A pure product of Rotterdam’s evergreen underground scene, Rotterdam Electronix main operator Lenson has been pushing some of the most intriguing big-room grooves for the past five years with relentless commitment. Taking over this week’s instalment, our local hardware fetishist draws a vinyl-only delight of a two-hour set, deftly threading his way across jagged techno valleys, Styx-like rivers of acid and further EBM-friendly, industrial-infused deltas of hardline rave sound that’ll have your teeth chattering in excitement.

A true-school craftsman of the beat, Roman serves up a bespoke slice of brainy dance music that’ll fire up all, from old techno buffs to the younger generation of ravers. Mint.

Reclaim Your City 411 | Ryan James Ford (Berlin)
Responsible for an array of choice slabs on the likes of Clone Basement and Dub Series, MDR, Answer Code Request Rec., TRIP and his own imprint SHUT, Canadian-born / Berlin-based DJ and producer Ryan James Ford has been trading extra-solid 4x4 wares for the past half decade with a consistency one can only marvel at. Cross-pollinating strains of dub, industrial, atmospheric techno and more abstract rhythmic forms, RJF keeps on expanding techno’s faux-dogmatic firepower towards broader, open-source horizons, all the while breathing fresh air across a scene too often inclined to rest upon its stagnant bed of hard-earned laurels.

Reclaim Your City 410 | Tensal (Asturias, Spain)
Coming through this week, Spanish groove manipulator Tensal graces us with two hours of feverish 4x4 programming, hypnotic dub excursions and racing electro belters. Staying true to his evocatively widescreen vision and cerebral, sci-fi-imbued approach towards narrative building - lithely oscillating betwixt strains of pulsating, verbed-out techno, steely industrial folds and eerie melodies out the smokiest purgatory, Héctor Sandoval treats us to an implacably well-oiled, raging maelstrom of a mix. Smashing.

Reclaim Your City 409 | Pastram (Geneva)
Surfing the crest from jagged EBM tropes to Italo-tinged industrial via rawboned techno from hell, Motel Campo resident DJ Pastram steps up this week’s as our booty-shaking / mind-bending goods provider. Laying down a two-hour vinyl-only mix of black mess incantatory hoodoo and rough-hewn electronics passed through the grinder, the Swiss jockey plunges us in a smouldering pit of synth-strewn ritualism and untamed psychedelia, where stoned naiads and fauns frantically dance their way to zenithal quietus.

Schooled to the sound of NYC warehouse parties and midwest raves, Dustmite’s been pushing a sound both intricately detailed and thoroughly magnetic. Turning up with a kinetic two-hour voyage scanning out the spaces betwixt unflagging 4x4 computation, misty post-industrial atmospheres and bassy, tempo-juggling aerobatics, the American operator immerses us in a zero-G headspace where lithe, rolling techno grooves meet utterly intriguing textural synthsmithery.

True to his high standards of selection and mixing, Kr!z’s two-hour round treats us to a darkling maelstrom of cutting-edge electronics, incisive drum progs and mind-boggling machine-funk stunts; packed with enough NRG to bring the laziest of crowds to an unfaltering simmer.

Founder of London collective Under My Feet, Ireen Amnes dwells the frontier between industrial murk, rust-gnawed proto-punk and noisey escapism, shaping a sound continuum as intensely physical as it is cerebral. Tapping multiple veins, her craft’s a raw, spine-tingling takeover, feverishly shedding skins as it entices dancers to a spaced-out danse macabre. Hop on board Ireen’s weird vessel for a one-way trip into her own otherworldly, genre-unbound sonic zone.

Brace yourselves, it’s bossman Inigo Kennedy laying it down clean and sharp. Regal.

With an array of tasty records for an equally choice set of labels under their belt - including the likes of Semantica, MORD, Figure Jams, Obscura and their own imprint, Dynamic Reflection - the Dutch duo now punches in our series with two hours of cortex-tickling, Lynchian machine-talk, streamlined modularity and deft-hitting rubbery dynamics. A most enticing listen, this one’s perfect for working out your autonomic nervous system and key motor functions in the comfort of your cozy bedroom until the dance floors are back in full force and effect.

Reclaim Your City 400 | Stanislav Tolkachev (Kiev, UA)
Special numbers imply great responsibilities. Turning our number #400 episode into even more of an important milestone, Ukraine’s chief dancefloor stirrer and expert mind-boggler Stanislav Tolkachev stopped by to lay down one of his trademark contemplative yet pulsating retro-futuristic mixes. Bridging the gap betwixt shape-shifting experimentalism, sunken abstraction and clever mixtures of gridlocked rhythms, verbed-out melodies and faux-organic envelopes, Tolkachev demonstrates the unlimited breadth and scope of his talent for sculpting pared-down techno statements that transcend both space and time, mood and atmosphere, trends and patterns.

A leading figure of the Japanese avant-garde techno scene, mind-bending 4x4 plotter and Wols boss Takaaki Itoh drops by our mix series for a masterclass in hypnotic grooves and muscular depth-charges. Actively pushing quality dub angularity, oblique pumpers and wilder-than-wild sub-heavy traction to enlightened ears since 1994, the Sendai-based sensei has us teleported to upper spheres of consciousness with this mesmerising two-hour jaunt; taking us across a bustling kaleidoscope of finely mixed old-school psychedelia and textured downbeat squelch by the book. A top-notch mix that'll have you missing those Sunday morning afters at Berghain pretty harshly.

Reclaim Your City 398 | Setaoc Mass (Manchester, UK)
Clocking in our series at number 398, Manchester’s Setaoc Mass pulls out a striking exemplar of his recondite techno narratives with two hours spanning everything from stealth, quake-inducing 4x4 ordnance to off-kilter kosmische furls, through shape-shifting cyber tribalism and back again. Whether you find him busy manoeuvring the helm of his own label, SK_Eleven, or moping the floor with formless crowds of ecstatic souls at the warehouse, one thing’s for certain - Coates knows all too well how to craft hauntologically wild and submerging sonic momentums. Be sure to peep his latest double-package, ’Neo-Noir’, out in all good record stores on 25th September. Surgical precision, maximum penetration.

Reclaim Your City 397 | Kessell (Asturias, Spain)
Bridging the gap between arcane dubs and stealth techno clockwork for the past decade, Spanish DJ and producer Valentín Corujo alias Kessell has been trading some of the most hauntingly deep and groovy big-room churners with near haptic force of persuasion. Running the high-flying Granulart imprint, it’s no wonder Valentín’s keen ear for dim-lit, sub-heavy material shines bright on his present RYC mix, number 397. Reeling out a solid two hours of augmented 4/4 chug, breath-hold atmospherics and finespun texturalism, the Asturias whizz hits the mark in both elegant and forceful manner. As per usual, dare we say.

With Pole Group as his family home base, the Spanish-born, Berlin-based metronome’s delivery ticks all the boxes of an untamed ride across hypermodern techno landscapes and Birmingham-imbued hi-velocity workouts, laced with a sixth sense for wild-at-heart, oomph-charged criticals. Target scanned, locked in, ready for you to engage.

Though clad in opaque envelopes and shrouds of sedated mystery, her music also resonates with a light and fortitude that invites to ghost your way across its enigmatic tides with both hope and resilience. Glide down and shiver.

Creator of immersive sonic tableaux and enticingly hypnotic rhythmic structures, our guest this week is Düsseldorf-based DJ and producer Desroi. Laying down a much intricate and whelming assortment of his trademark abstract, boundary-pushing blends, the German sound architect delves into floating pools of deep dubby layers and pounding, 4x4-enslaved mechanisms, letting his wide, breathing poetic flux grow and expand across and beyond the bars in end-to-end mesmerising fashion. Tune in, zone out.

Bursting in the series with a tyre-screeching transmission to throw the roofs and dancers away into ecstatic oblivion, Prague-based duo Fractions step up with a helluva mind-bending transmission at number 393. Schooled to the shoulder-dislocating, brainwashing sound of ‘90s rave and pure wrathful big-room smashers, the Russian-born duo put on display the kind of hard-hitting, supra-dynamic groove know-how that’s landed them on choice outlets like Rotterdam Electronix, Fleisch and Monnom Black. Tape your windows and barricade yourself, the Fractions typhoon is coming for your lazy, suntanned ass right on cue.

Mapping the confines of deep, hard-to-the-bone techno through damp and dim-lit corridors of sound, the EERSTE COMMUNIE co-founder serves up two hours of proper clinical hammering and nonstop rhythmic assault, paced to get your heart rolling over from one end of your chest to the other like a pinball caught in a magnetic storm.

Buckle up and prepare for the impact, it’s Wallis taking over with two-hours of sheer synesthetic, cliffhanging madness to knock your senses askew. Banging as it gets.

Reclaim Your City 388 | UVB (Marseille, Berlin)
Prominently active over the past half decade, having released choice slabs for the likes of MORD, Stoor, Monnom Black and his own imprint Body Theory, Marseille-Berlin-based DJ and producer Sébastien Michel alias UVB has moulded a sound in proportion to the expansive breadth of his sets, both tough to the core, clinically spliced together and elatingly deep for good measure. Stepping in with a gratifyingly nasty 2-hour set, crammed with his trademark stealth sub-bass chatter, flaring percussiveness and thick dubbed-out envelopes to lose yourself in, the Frenchman is clearly here to make a statement. Top-shelf transmission from an artist at the top of his game, don’t sleep.

Reclaim Your City 386 | Introversion (Berlin)
Some like to say that when something’s gone well and smooth, it cuts like a hot knife through butter. Berlin’s Julius Debler alias Introversion much rather use the “bang on bazooka hit in the pillbox" analogy. Everything in the young artist's arsenal screams OVERKILL, and man does it deliver on the dance floor. Obviously it would be way reductive to boil down the german producer and jockey’s substantial array of talents to the no-frills banging attitude of his tunes - his excellent set of records for ARTS, KONFLKT and Emerald is here to attest. That said, it’s safe to say Introversion's RYC mix was built and designed to sweep hard-as-nails techno lovers and fellow rugged 4x4 monstertruckin’ enthusiasts off their feet swift and sharp. Mission accomplished, badman style.

His new mix for RYC fits all aspects of his aforementioned genius, fusing hi-voltage machinic rage and left-of-centre tech funk with his ever reliable knack for creating deep and dynamic momentums on the dance floor. Reap the whirlwind.

Reclaim Your City 383 | Volvox (New York)
A staple component of New York’s techno renaissance, the name of Unter and Jack Dept. affiliate Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Stamina-testing and raw to the bone, her music runs the gamut from skull-crushing 4x4 obedience to muggy 303-riddled salvos, abrasive house rhythms and everything in between. Remaining true to the original spirit of the Detroit pioneers all the while computing the next winning equation that’ll make ravers lose their marbles in an utterly new fashion every time the needle hits the groove, Volvox keeps on blowing minds for a routine. Add that RYC mix to her long list of face-melting sonic misdemeanors and red-handed audio assault; plain and simple, it's just criminally good.

Knocking out vinyl nostalgia with AIROD on Reclaim Your City.
Reclaim Your City 355 | AIROD (Paris)
DJ, Producer and Label owner of Elixyr. Dario Brkic aka AIROD is perhaps one of the finest incarnations of what the French techno scene can bring to the table when it comes to turning any cold-walled warehouse into a proper coal-fired furnace. Since he broke through on an international level in 2018 with his debut solo 12″ on Molekül, drawing instant support from the likes of Dasha Rush, Blawan, Randomer, Kobosil, to name but a few, AIROD’s kept forging his own strain of techno, both dark and muscular, blustery and tirelessly corrosive. A shared bill with French techno ace Amelie Lens at REX Club would soon seal Dario’s fate, prompting Lens to get him on board her highly reputed Exhale parties across the Globe, of which he’s since become a mainstay.
Taking their collaboration to a new extent, AIROD’s inaugural 12″ delivery for Amelie’s label Lenske – the aptly-titled ‘Voltage’ – finds him delivering a quartet of high-octane dancefloor wreckers that promise to get the pressure gauge into the red zone effortlessly, no matter the hour of the day or the baking level of its audience. An increasingly in-demand talent, Dario also joined Dax J’s Monnom Black stable in the meanwhile, contributing a track to the label’s eagerly anticipated debut VA ‘The World Of Monnom Black’, alongside some of today’s techno’s most renowned big guns. A meteoric rise to supreme power for the Parisian producer, whose touring agenda has gone from busy to chock-a-block in a jiffy, and we grant you this, ladies and gentlemen, is just the beginning.

Reclaim Your City 354 | Najel Monteiro (Rotterdam)
Monteiro is something of an antithesis in today’s social media obsessed techno culture, which is in stark contrast to its underground rebellious roots derived in industrial, urban-decayed cities, principally Detroit [USA]. It should come as small surprise that Monteiro’s influences are deeply rooted in Detroit techno folklore.
Two of a few names Monteiro cites are Jeff Mills and Robert Hood, legendary founder members of Detroit’s ‘Underground Resistance’ who are frequently referred to by music writers as the voice of techno, in similar vein as ‘N.W.A’ were to Rap music. Monteiro leverages his music to ‘voice’ societal statements, providing ‘techno purists’ hope of a renaissance: a new generation of young, socially-conscious techno producers ready to challenge the status-quo.
Monteiro certainly proves talented enough to express his feelings through the power of innovative, authentic futuristic music, with an equal measure of soul. Monteiro's credits include an exclusive remix feature on the limited edition exclusive release of Chicago, DJ Pierre’s legendary ‘Acid Trax’ on Afro Acid, which also features remixes from Carl Cox and Luciano.
Monteiro’s latest release, the superb ‘Silence is Acceptance EP’, on Motech Records, is a taster of things to come. With heavy support from the likes of Ben Klock, Truncate, Laurent Garnier, Ben Sims and Dave Clarke, 2019 is shaping to be a year where Monteiro lets himself to be heard on a global scale.

Reclaim Your City 352 | Fadi Mohem (Berlin)
Raised in the outskirts of Berlin, Fadi Mohem developed a passion for electronic music at a young age. His studies in Sound Engineering and the subsequent work as a Mix & Recording Engineer improved his technical skills and the sound of his own productions. Instead of following trends, Fadi Mohem always seeks to fulfill his own sound ideals. Influenced by early Detroit Techno and Berlin Dub Techno, Drum & Bass, Dubstep and IDM, he likes to break the frame.
With his debut release on WERK in late 2017 he got to show his definition of Techno, which is built around fast and funky rhythms with repetitive, body moving sequences. The WERK 12“ was followed by an appearance on Modeselektor’s Modeselektion Vol. 04 and two full EPs on their newly revived label Seilscheibenpfeiler, again packed with straight ahead Techno weapons. In October 2019 Fadi Mohem joined Ben Klock ́s carefully selected Klockworks catalogue with KW27.
In his DJ Sets Fadi Mohem feels comfortable in about any slot, always delivering a well thought out selection of tracks to move the crowd. His Live Sets get down to the core of what Techno is about - a hardware only jam that ́s created right on the spot, always unique.

Reclaim Your City 351 | Nite Fleit (London)
Australian-born, London-based Nite Fleit has cultivated a distinct, uncompromising sound of her own, setting the club circuit ablaze, through refined DJ sets and genre-melding original productions.
A kaleidoscopic palette of influences, ranging from golden-era EBM and rave, to contemporary acid and electro, runs through the young artist’s recorded works. Distilling years of idiosyncrasies as a curator, Nite Fleit, real name Alysha Fleiter, unleashed her first, complete solo effort, Steel City Dance Disks Volume 7, in late 2018, promptly following it up with Overcast on Tiffany D’s label – a braindance-leaning exercise in rhythmic propulsion. Following this in 2019, Fleiter released her next offering, Moogie, in collaboration with long-time friend and famed selector, Mall Grab on his coveted Looking For Trouble imprint. The Australian’s left-of-center body music gems quickly caught the ears of Helena Hauff and Umwelt, setting Nite Fleit on an upward trajectory through the ranks.
Along her meteoric ascent, Nite Fleit has gone live at the Boiler Room, an unprecedented three times. Touching down for key club and festival dates across Asia and Europe, Fleiter kicked her aesthetic imperfection into high gear throughout 2019: culminating in an unforgettable debut Berghain performance.
Back in her London studio, Nite Fleit is alchemising the wave of energy from recent shows into new recordings: three long-awaited mixes and five spellbinding EPs are set for release later this year and early 2020.

Reclaim Your City 347 | Freddy K (Berlin)
Freddy K: techno activist. Since the ‘90s Alessio Armeni has been tireless campaigning from the dancefloor, defending vinyl, championing young talents and reinforcing the scene from the shadows. You will know him best for his marathon DJ sets and deviant selections. You might recognise him as the head of KEY Vinyl, or for the backstage role he played at M_Rec, the label he helped run with best friend Max_M. You should definitely know about Virus, the thing that started it all off for him back in Rome.
Lory D and Leo Anibaldi’s The Sound of Rome movement; Luca Cucchetti’s renowned Mad radio shows; warehouses, soundsystems and rave all informed Freddy K’s earliest obsession with techno. He started DJing at Sunday after hour events, having danced all through the night himself. In 1993, aged 21, he launched his now famous Virus radio show, which ran daily from 8PM to midnight, and from midnight to 6AM every Saturday. Parties, a booking agency and record shop soon followed: the Virus movement had arrived. A year later Freddy K signed to the legendary ACV, who released his first EP, Control. Rage Of Age, his debut album came in 1995; a dark and noisy record influenced by his two passions, Chicago acid and rock. It was widely lauded throughout the country and remains a testament to the old Sound of Rome today.
After Virus peaked and having toured all over the world with ACV, Freddy K stopped DJing and retreated to the backroom. He spent the early millennial years working with Sandro Nasonte at Rome’s flagship record store, Remix. Together they set up the influential Elettronica Romana label, which released some of Donato Dozzy and Giorgio Gigli’s first EPs. In 2005 Freddy K launched K1971, a label management enterprise that continues to support fledgling initiatives today from its base in Berlin. He moved to the German capital in 2009, setting up KEY Vinyl as a “techno label for DJs” two years later. Artists like PVS and Héctor Oaks have helped forge the label’s (and Freddy K’s own) traditionalist view on techno.
Moving to Berlin reignited Freddy K’s teenage infatuation with rave. He soon fell in with Homopatik, the former monthly gay event at ://about blank. He became notorious for his epic 10, 14 and 16 hour-long sessions there, playing always strictly vinyl and in a dynamic, party conscious fashion. Freddy K sets are characteristically mercurial and 100% tailored for the dance. He plays a “360°-style of techno,” which can include Soft Cell, WestBam or Bronski Beat—when the timing is just right. He played his first Berghain set in 2013; two years later he was closing the place, keeping the energy levels soaring well into Monday. The last 20 minutes, he says, are the most important. So be sure to stick around till the very end.

The manic perfection in selecting every single record and the commitment of her daily research makes it impossible not to be dragged by the intense, visionary techno sets.
The thriving passion for music blossoms also in her productions. Intertwining dynamic rhythms arising of electronic drums, organic tonalities and esoteric machines, DJ Red gives birth to pitch black, aethereal, aqueous soundscapes that reach the very core of her listeners. Her discography counts releases on labels such as Electric Deluxe, Wolfskuil Records, BPitch Control and remixes from Ricardo Villalobos, Zeitgeber (Speedy J and Lucy) and Stanislav Tolkachev.
DJ Red is a shimmering example of techno’s past, present and future - a voice that continues to evolve alongside the genre she so proudly represents; time after time with each impressive performance.

Reclaim Your City 340 | Stefan Vincent (Amsterdam)
Arguing that it’s about time for Stefan Vincent to step into the limelight is understating matters. After all, if you’re able to count the heads of some of the world’s finest labels, (think Traut, Stockholm LTD and Dynamic Reflection) and the likes of Laurent Garnier and Jeff Mills among your fans, you’re obviously doing something right. This relative anonymity isn’t something that troubles the Amsterdam based producer, DJ and live act, though: more than willing to invest time in his art, the man literally lives in his studio and so is in no hurry whatsoever.
His path, unlike that of many, hasn’t found him go from playing records to making them, but instead, after discovering work by inspirational figures like Steve Rachmad, Surgeon and Jeff Mills, Stefan immediately set to work on his won creative projects. Whether it is playing a DJ set or cooking up an expressive live set, Stefan always translates his singularly deep, rich and driving sound into the club environment. With a good amount of solid techno releases under his belt, he continues to win over the hearts and dancing feet of audiences across the planet.

Reclaim Your City 336 | Schacke (Copenhagen)
In his early teens, Martin Schacke played in punk and metal bands. It’s hardly an unusual starting point for a young person looking for a musical outlet, but you sense the Danish artist has carried a little of that rip-it-up-and-start-again attitude throughout his subsequent musical developments – it’s certainly present in the noise and techno he makes now, as Schacke.

Reclaim Your City 327 | Naty Seres (Berlin)
Naty Seres first arrived on Earth in 1988, delivered to a Polish family somewhere in Central Germany. Shortly thereafter (at the age of 16) she began frequenting underground raves and djing.
After finishing her education and working for few years in a cooperative environment, she began traveling around the world djing at international music festivals.
Eventually she established a home base in Berlin, where the vibrant electronic music scene and club culture provided the perfect opportunity to broaden her musical horizons and further her understanding of dance floor dynamics directly from the dancefloor.
In 2012 she became a main organizer for the legendary Freqs of Nature Festival, where she was responsible for co-programming the techno and electronic lineup among many other things. Her contributions were instrumental to the festival’s growth from a small rave in a field to being acknowledged as one of the key events for experimental electronic music. The experience was invaluable, as it offered her the opportunity to learn the many sides of the music industry first hand… from handing out flyers and and collecting festival trash, to booking and playing alongside some of the most exclusive names of experimental electronic music.
In 2017 she co-founded Atmophile Electronics with Sharad Sood, a label focused on hypnotic and intelligent electronic music. The imprint explores the further reaches of sound experimentation while remaining rooted in club culture. Atmophile releases records mostly from within their friend circle and closely acquainted artists who share a likeminded vision.
Over the past several years she has been playing at key festivals and clubs internationally with some of the most respected names in the techno scene, slowly building a name as a DJ with a selection which mirrors her life within vast world of electronic music and rave culture.

Reclaim Your City 321 | Blush Response (Berlin)
Blush Response is Joey Blush, a Cuban-American artist and sound designer hailing from NYC who now resides in Berlin. Blush cut his teeth doing programming work for artists such as Fear Factory, Rhys Fulber, Cristian Castro, and as a touring member of Joey Jordison (Slipknot)'s alternative rock project Scar the Martyr. A fascinating, vibrant new artist, frequenting the outer realms of post punk, industrial, techno, you-name-it and has a plethora of releases on cd, vinyl, digital and even cassette tape format to date on labels like Sonic Groove, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Ant-zen, and Total Black
Blush Response's music is characterized by a heavy approach to sound design, combining rough, glitch-heavy beats with thick, distorted synths. Pounding, head-tripping kick drums intermix with abrasive, dark sequences generating huge walls of cavernous sonics. A pulsating slice of straightforward noise-filtered techno with a good dose of industrial and EBM influences while blush's improvising skills enable a sound that blurs the lines between these genres. A barely tamed beast, biting and piercing holes in eardrums and somehow magically managing to make your feet tap along or, at considerable volume, rave.

999999999 is an abstract concept from the minds of two people who do not feel the need to define it. It is spontaneous, random, unlimited. This project, officially started in July 2016, has already affected several important Clubs and Festivals in different cities in Europe (including Awakenings Festival) and aroused much interest even outside the continent.
First three releases on their label “Nine Times Nine” and their appearance on Planet Rhythm special “303” vinyl release were immediately sold out after few hours.
Live is what they are whether in or out of the studio, they are spontaneous. Improvisation with hardware is the key element of their performance and is impossible to replicate.

Reclaim Your City 318 | Alan Backdrop (Padua, Italy)
Straight from Northern Italy, Alessio Meneghello or better known for his moniker Alan Backdrop, has been alluring his listeners through his productions characterized with deep atmospheres and a mixture of different genres. Simply put, Alan’s fascination is a reflection of his passion for electronic music and inspiration he gets from the world around.
He is the kind of producer that certainly enjoys his studio jam sessions—this is the reason why he spends most of the time in his studio tweaking knobs on synthesizers, recording and experimenting with the aim to capture and create his exceptional sound.
Alan Backdrop released his debut album, VR Plan, in 2013 on Prologue, an album that includes some of his pioneering tracks, such as “Cherber,” “Medel,” and “Siere.” Shortly, he managed to create his second album, Eria, released in 2014 on Ekar Records, label and platform with which he has a long-lasting relationship and where he released a big part of his discography. He recently joined Mental Modern and Semantica Records where he kicked out some 12".
Alessio's side project is a_000, born from the unprompted come across of him and Enrico Rlt, which resulted in the creation of "Road to Nauta", the very first wax from Ekar Records and "Ness Reworks 001", a 12" containing two original tracks plus two remixes from the label founder and friend Ness.
In addition to spending most of the time in his studio, Alan Backdrop performs in various festivals—the latest in which he performed were Modem Festival and Parallel— and in different clubs and musical events. Fascinated by electronic music and concentrated in the realization of atmospheric musical journeys is the best way to describe Alan Backdrop.

Bosnian-built and -bred Sev Dah may be a Swedish expat, but the Balkan blackness clings strongly to the bleak percussions and rigidly uneasy synthetics that unwillingly fuse into his strongly individual take on techno. Authentically purveying the pulsations of the nakedly throbbing and ugly world, far away from Starbucks and H&M.
Signed to respected labels such as Random Island, Mote-Evolver, Komisch and Frozen Border sublabel Naked Index he quickly gnawed his way into the scene’s core of DJs and producers. Sev is even managing new projects on his own label Proletarijat since 2016. Like a rabid mongrel, since 1998 he has been chewing and belching new bastard beats that are aching to scream out. Consequently there’s a steaming and steady stream of vinyl releases coming.
With influences ranging from Stigmata and Mills to Master Reese and Petar Dundov, Sev Dah is a versatile but headstrong DJ that can gently ease a thumb in at midnight or fervently thrust it down the hatch at peak time.

Reclaim Your City 314 | Xhin (Singapore)
Xhin (pronounced as "sheen") has been crafting ominous cuts of cutting-edge electronic music since 1997. Building a forte in sound design, he is best described as a sound futurist. His identical rhythmic structure and compositional techniques which incorporate elements of techno, tight sub bass, ambient and IDM delivers a hint of chaotic soundscape amidst artistry. A Singaporean by birth and residence, he independently released "Xycle", a self promotional ep that made the industry to stand up to take notice, in early 2003. He then followed with his debut album, "Supersonicstate" the following year.
In 2006, his talent has been discovered by a German independent record label Meerestief. With a remix that he has done for Dublin's Five Green Circle's track entitled Ronan's BBQ has created a storm over Europe. Praised, supported and charted by heavy weights from the world of electronic music. 3 years later, Xhin found a new home. He joined Berlin's then new techno label, Stroboscopic Artefacts to release his dark, intense and experimental side of things. This will be yet again the beginning of an old new direction for him to explore and experiment sounds even deeper for his future releases.

Berlin based duo Mistake Made first appeared in 2014 with their debut release on Vault Series. Since then they have contributed a hand full of EPs, remixes and compilation tracks to the label’s discography and its sub label Lost Gems.

Reclaim Your City 312 | Pessimist (Bristol, United Kingdom)
Releasing music since 2010, Pessimist is the alias of Kristian Jabs, a Bristol-based drum & bass producer who first gained wider recognition as one-third of Ruffhouse: the Samurai Music-affiliated group responsible for giving the drum ‘n’ bass community a much-needed shake-up with their ultra-precise, ultra-dark halftime sound.
In recent years, Jabs has been more prolific as a solo artist, exploring the intersection between techno and drum ‘n’ bass that centres around razor-sharp drums, choking ambience, cavernous subs and very little else. In 2016, he found his spiritual home on the infamous Blackest Ever Black imprint – first with low-key techstep anthem Balaklava, and then with his universally acclaimed debut album, Pessimist. Ranking highly on end of year lists everywhere, the album turned heads throughout the wider dance music community, indicating the arrival of an artist with a mature, fully-formed sound, refreshingly unbridled by tempo or genre.
His mix for Reclaim Your City, was recorded live at Reconstrvct in New York on November 10th 2018, and blends noir, smoked-out dub-scape, acidic rave, and downtempo breakbeat with a bombed-out industrial ambience.

Reclaim Your City 311 | DJ Pete (Berlin)
If you want to trace the beginnings of DJ Pete's status in Techno culture, you have to go back a very long way. He emerged as a DJ in the pioneering days of the Berlin scene during the late 80s and joined Hard Wax in 1991.
As a producer he made his name with the first release on Chain Reaction in 1995, a sub-label of the Basic Channel imprint, together with René Löwe aka Vainqueur as Scion. Scion also released the first commercially available CD ever produced with the then newly developed software Ableton Live in 2002 and later continued their collaboration as Substance & Vainqueur on the label Scion Versions. Substance, the acclaimed alias DJ Pete uses for his own productions has a back catalogue of highly influential solo efforts and an impressive string of acclaimed remixes for pivotal Techno artists like Juan Atkins, Regis, Kessell, Orphx, Robert Hood, Rhythm & Sound, Monolake or Shed, among many others.
DJ Pete earned similar respect behind the decks, combining highly individual yet refined mixing skills with both his vast encyclopedic knowledge of Techno history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds that carry the potential to push all boundaries. Beyond that his energetic sets also incorporate elements of pure Techno, the Hard Wax tradition and powerful House tracks. His seemingly unlimited scope is informed by frequent Dynamic Tension nights at Tresor in the late 90s with Surgeon and his residency at Berghain since its opening, as well as countless successful gigs at the most crucial nights of the scene's international circuit. He is also known to merge Techno with Dubstep and selecting Reggae, particularly while working the mighty Killasan sound system as core DJ member of the seminal Wax Treatment events.

Reclaim Your City 310 | Alex.Do (Berlin)
It can also be seen metaphorically that Alex.Do was born in the year of the reunification in Germany. It symbolizes, the meeting of two forces, two trends which are reflected in the life of the Berlin artist.
From Techno, Dub and House of all decades and seasons he creates something that can be called the essence of electronic music. In his DJ-sets, which are deep, last several hours and give you the feeling of being on another planet, he can live his melancholic, introverted side. At the same time, his pulsating mood sweeps are electrifying, which characterize his personality as well as his productions.With the team DYSTOPIAN has he not only found comrades-in-spirit. He has also found a platform of his music style and the possibility of performing shows in Berlin and all over Europe.

Lock in for once again a brand new episode of Reclaim Your city and listen back to Blue Hour's closing set at Berlin Atonal 2018.
Reclaim Your City 309 | Blue Hour (Berlin)
Under the guise, Blue Hour, British producer/DJ Luke Standing has carved his unique imprint and distinctive sound not only onto the UK Techno scene but the global dance community as a whole. A series of pivotal releases present a fresh and exciting fusion, intimately driven by the spirit and energy of the 90s, Millsian futurism, and timeless Electronica.
With a quick succession of releases, Blue Hour attracted the attention of the genre’s leading artists and institutions. Berghain affiliated record label Ostgut Ton commissioned him to remix Tobias. for A Series of Shocks Remixes. Standing also contributed Parallels for Dave Sumner AKA Function’s Berghain 07 official mix and supporting 12 inches on Ostgut Ton – Common Ground also made it onto the mix.
Sumner and Standing’s relationship has since continued with Averting featuring on Facticity – a compilation curated by Function, released via his seminal imprint Infrastructure New York. Function also invited Blue Hour to perform for label showcases at Berghain and Boiler Room. However, it is Standing’s own label that remains the primary home for his widely supported original music.
As both an experienced DJ and a producer, Blue Hour’s output expresses a confidence that delivers cohesion between artistic vision and realisation. Blurring the lines between geography and scene, light and dark, extroverted in its dance floor pragmatism while also truly introspective. He remains focused on creative progression looking outwards to the new ground that remains to be covered or redefined. A Remixed series was recently introduced inviting artists such as Steffi, Answer Code Request, and Mark Broom to rework his tracks. Another development was the collaborative project Tracing Xircles, which hints at a new development for the label as an outlet for non-Blue Hour work. This debut paves the way for the curation of new artists’ projects as the label extends its reach.
This depth of appreciation, love, and understanding of the genre is strongly evident in his approach as a DJ too. A lifelong investment and devotion to underground music have welcomed him to some of the most respected and long-standing venues on the global circuit continuing to expand his unique approach into new territories across the world year upon year.
With further releases and remix projects on the horizon, plus a busy, global touring schedule – Blue Hour’s presence is a welcome spark forward in the world of Techno and Electronic music.

Reclaim Your City 308 | Tripeo & Doka (Nijmegen, Amsterdam)
A soundtrack for dark cellars and strobe filled clubs, molded from a pure and uncut techno template. That’s what Darko Esser’s Tripeo alter ego is only and all about.
Operating in an industrially tinged soundworld, Doka makes strong impressions in a short space of time. He has a tough, ironclad sound that is finished with hypnotising melodies and never fails to make its mark the world’s best clubs.

Reclaim Your City 307 | Insolate (Osijek, Coatia)
Sometimes the darkest feelings provide, in a painful paradox, the biggest of pleasures.
The DJ and producer Insolate demonstrates the truth of this analysis by producing rough & dark techno infused with emotion inspired by her 20 years as a DJ.
Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows - this is where she made first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and worldwide clubs.
She's already played some of the world’s most renowned clubs including Berghain, Rex, Tresor, Under Club, Club d’Anvers, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland, ADE and Dimensions Festival plus numerous Colombian tours over the years and soon to add the United States and Argentina to the list in 2018.
As a producer, she's had a string of releases on highly respected labels including DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted and Marcelus’s Singular supported and played by some of techno's finest including Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Dax J and Ilario Alicante. This year, she also released the stellar Obscure Object Of Desire EP on JoeFarr's new User Experience imprint, two original tracks that stroke the perfect balance between groove, power and emotion.
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. Not traditionally a city with a strong techno scene, the TRAUM events have cemented their place in the clubbing calendar with quality artists like Paula Temple, Antigone, Cassegrain, Janice, Etapp Kyle and Milton Bradley.
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. Insolate being an international messenger of techno was recognized by Ambassador award that gave her a title "Croatia’s ambassador overseas" for 2017.
The final part of putting Osijek on the techno map was taken in 2015 with the launch of the label Out Of Place which Insolate runs with Volster. The label was named in honour of the beautiful struggle of carving your own way into the scene from a place that's well off the grid from the traditional capitals of techno. Now three releases strong, the label has already had contributions from heavyweights like Milton Bradley and Developer. Label is currently on the 4th edition with a new release coming out in summer 2018 including artists Francois X, JoeFarr and Disrupted Project.
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.

Reclaim Your City 306 | Olivia Mendez (Berlin)
Olivia has been on the radar for a while now as being one of the key figures in keeping parties alive and kicking in Berlin today.
This French artist’s inspirations range from in-depth investigations of the world of musical-nerds to the most crazy and extravagant parties which she both attends and play at regularly. Her unique style has taken her far beyond the German capital, with performances at major European Festivals.
As a passionate vinyl archaeologist she likes to highlight forgotten records that are still striking to the ears. Her background as a music journalist, artist and event promoter, combined with her passion for crate digging imbues her DJ sets with an eclectic range. This range grows out of her dedicated exploration of different styles of electronic music from the past, as well as present.
Olivia playfully leads us through a deep, steady, minimalistic journey, presented to you exclusively on vinyl. Working mostly with textures and rhythms, yet always keeping the intensity high, her set oozes the kind of panache that is unique to French performers.

Reclaim Your City 305 | Charles Green (Brighton)
A longtime resident of Brighton venue Patterns, Charles Green also heads up one of the city’s most forward thinking parties, First Floor. He’s a cornerstone of Brighton’s club scene, though his influence extends well beyond the city limits, in the form of a monthly residency at London’s renowned Jaded events at Corsica Studios. Outside of the club, Charles is building a reputation for raw, funked up analogue techno.
Following impactful releases on Four Triangles and Revenge Techniques, Charles has been tapped by Ben Sims for a track on his 'Tribology' compilation and a forthcoming EP in the new year. With more releases to follow in 2019, it's likely that we will all be seeing, and hearing, more from the man with the best laugh in club music.

Reclaim Your City 303 | Umwelt (Lyon)
Musician and activist since the first appearance of underground parties called Raves, Umwelt has never stopped to propagate a fierce, raw and analog sound supported by a voracious passion for electronic music. Founder of Rave Or Die and New Flesh Records imprint, Umwelt counts about forty releases to date, raising him among the most prolific French electronic producers.
Long spent outside the radar, this adept of ferocious distortions tinted with sweet melancholy delivered in 2016 his second album, titled “Days Of Dissent” on Boidae. The opus was highly appreciated by the public and acclaimed by Press which considers it as an electro reference. Drawing his path with instinct, the Lyon based artist, a vinyl and analog freak, continues the work of early pioneers by a wild and straight on the dancefloor mode of transport, while progressively leading the listener into dark, melancholic, dancing and mental atmospheres, he alone totally controls the side effects.

Reclaim Your City 301 | D-Leria (Berlin)
Create chaos in the dancefloor, with a purely underground style and deeply inspired by parallel and psychedelic feelings. Compactness, depth and density of sound and much adrenaline going to merge into a propulsive progression, a classic sound but never granted. As a teenager he immediately begins to show a great interest in electronic music, beginning to collect a lot of Hardcore and Acid records. In 2003, he starts his career in the studio producing Hardcore, achieving international success and performing at major events and festivals. In 2014 he produces something different from the usual, something he had long desired for. And thus D-Leria came to life. He starts playing immediately as resident Dj at Affekt Club, in the 2014/15 season. “Confusion” is one of his first EPs which released on the Australian label Darknet, with remixes by Stanislav Tolkachev, Pinion and Alex Bau, followed by “Somewhere In Space“, released on Nachtstrom Schallplatten, ”Swarm” on Gynoid Audio and a feature track for Children of Tomorrow.
In 2017 he found Delirio, hosting artists such as Stanislav Tolkachev, Roberto Bosco, Plaster, Retina.it and more, with the aim of spreading a single message: the live recording. Particularly interesting his live hybrid where, together with 2 turntables using various drum machines, manages to always create something new in real time, being able to completely rid, managing every single parameter, rhythm and melody with the use of its hands knowing how to use their imagination and pulling it out using instruments so different from each other. A mix of genres, groove, feelings that have in common the same adrenaline rush that you notice in each set and in its production.

Reclaim Your City 300 | Speedy J (Rotterdam)
An unapologetically raw and smouldering testimony to techno's ever intact power of transcendence and unification, this mix from Electric Deluxe boss, STOOR mastermind and all-round inspirational top-dog Speedy J was recorded last year at Possession, Paris. Deliberately taped in its crudest form and riddled with the screams and comments from attendees to make it a further strikingly immersive experience, Jochem’s surgically executed 3-hour brainwash is meant to be tasted as close to the first-hand experience as possible. Strip your ears and senses bare of today’s reality's hi-fi prejudices and engulf yourself into a blazing and sputtering furnace of tru-rave euphoria.

Reclaim Your City 299 | Keepsakes (Auckland NZ, Berlin)
Keepsakes, the moniker of British-Kiwi producer and DJ James Barrett, has been going from strength to strength in the murky world of techno in the past few years. With EPs pressed to wax on Ansome and Ossian’s South London Analogue Material and Germany’s Mindcut, appearances on the last two installments of Mord’s Herdersmat compilations, plus European tours in 2016 and 2017, Keepsakes has been working hard to push his crunchy sound and diverse DJ sets internationally.
Furthermore, Barrett co-founded the Haven club night alongside Jaded Nineties Raver in 2015 in Auckland, New Zealand - aiming to introduce a new generation of Kiwis to the weirder and harder side of house and techno. At the beginning of 2018 this also expanded into a vinyl- focused record label, launching with an EP of screechy bangers from the Haven co-founder.
Now residing in Berlin, Keepsakes is now focused full time on bringing a tough and eclectic vibe to dance floors worldwide - utilizing his productions, DJ sets, and label to push a techno focused sound with flickers of house, electro, bass music and breaks while still maintaining a distinct crunchy character.

Reclaim Your City 296 | Andrejko & Subjected (Berlin)
Anomity as a function, mystical without usual clichés. No hiding behind masks, no digging in the past, no techno purism, no strive for fame. SUBJECTED stands for distinctly deep, identifiable techno. Designed in the shadows, to be consumed in the darkness. A label. Music, and nothing more.
For Andrejko diversity is spelled with weight, hardness and this matchless robust groove. Flows from the realm of STATTBAD, where his closing sets on Sunday morning were clearly an institution of the Berlin club in the heart of Wedding before it closed. It’s all about the vibe, the energy, the feeling.

Born in Warsaw, he has been closely associated with the club culture of the capital of Poland for over a dozen years.

Reclaim Your City 290 | Sophia Saze (New York)
Beginning her creative journey in her formative years with classical music and dance training, Sophia Saze later became engulfed by electronic dance music. Getting to know this artist, it is easy to understand that she comes from a solid and natural musical foundation. Tbilisi, Georgia born and internationally bred, she’s now based in Brooklyn, New York. DJ-ing and producing for 8 years, Saze launched her record label Dusk & Haze in 2017, with the first installment coming in the form of her own ‘Solace’ EP [D&H001], which included remixes from Benjamin Damage & Umwelt. The productions stem from techno, yet her musical versatility draws from a variety of genre influences, ranging electro to krautrock, ambient to industrial, acid to garage, showing her complete range and fluidity as a musician. 2017 also saw Sophia being signed to renowned label Get Physical where her track ‘Fall’ appears on their Words Don’t Come Easy Compilation [GPMCD112], showcasing a more soulful downtempo side of the producer. These two fresh releases have gained attention in the print versions of both DJ Mag, Groove-Magazin, & MixMag, as well as two airplays on BBC Radio 1 & NTS Radio, amongst many others. Equally as much as she is a producer, she’s also a DJ. Sophia Saze shapes the records she chooses for her sets into a carefully sculpted and characteristic groove. Keeping the journey on the border of house and techno, including electro and more spaced-out broken beat moments, she keeps the beat, the floor, and the dancers intact, always heading forward. Sophia is currently between her studio, touring schedule, and working on a new live show, with forthcoming releases including a remix on esteemed imprint Ghostly International (July 13), whilst she will also display her innate ability as an A&R as she welcomes SDX to Dusk & Haze to deliver the second release on the imprint this summer.

Reclaim Your City 289 | Natascha Kann (Berlin)
Natascha Kann has been involved in the clubbing scene since 2000. In 2011 she moved to Berlin and immediately joined the ://about blank crew. The club’s vinyl puritanism inspired her interest in vinyl records, and the blank residency was a logical step. Natascha Kann smelts nineties House Music, Detroit Techno and Chicago House, and oxygenises them with a hint of acid, there’s always a fleeting, melancholic resonance. Her blunt directness goes straightforward: her techno not too tough, her house not too soft. Clear and simple, no detours, old mixed with new. And every once in a while some Soul vocals, giving away her love for Black Music and the 80’s.

Reclaim Your City 288 | DeFeKT (Dublin)
DeFeKT (aka Matthew Flanagan) has been a tireless advocate of true electro and techno, steadily honing his hardware based sound that has earned him admirers all through the electronic music community. DeFeKT released a 8 track mini album on long-running Irish label Takeover in 2010 which gained huge support from Dave Clarke; support that has continued steadily since. A slew of 12″ eps and remixes have followed under his DeFeKT and ESS guises, on an array of top labels like Electronic Explorations, Komisch, Convex Industries, Solar One Music, AC Records, New Flesh, Cultivated Electronics, Signal Code and Boysnoize Records. He has also established a collaboration with fellow Dublin-based producer and dj, Sunil Sharpe, under the name Tinfoil. So far they have released five well-received 12"s on their own self-titled label, carving out a niche for their unique sound in today's hard edged techno market. DeFeKT's long-time devotion to analog drum machines and modular synths make him a leading authority on both, as exemplified in the exciting, dynamic nature of his live sets and productions. In a techno scene now fascinated by hardware and live performance, there are few best placed to show how it's all done as DeFeKT.

Reclaim Your City 286 | December (2hr Special Electro Set from Paris)
Adopting the December alias for his debut 12” on Blackest Ever Black, the Parisian wizard Tomas More found a perfect fit for his slow and moody techno cuts. Fast forward a few years and More has released recordings across a variety of labels, each record seeming to naturally follow on from the last. His signature noise driven, EBM influenced club tracks are becoming more and more fierce, an ‘Exponential Growth’ as his latest EP for Jealous God might assume. Much of December’s music manages to make the most out of minimal drum patterns, part nod to primitive early 80s industrial and part testament to his ability to craft dance music that is always interesting yet often intrinsically simplistic. December has recently been focusing on utilising his own voice and adding another layer to his sound in the process, a new direction which he will debut on an upcoming 12” for Helena Hauff’s Return to Disorder imprint and an LP later in the year. December’s DJ mixes are equally inspired, joining the dots between punk electronics, wave, new beat, techno and industrial with relative ease. He is available for both live PA and DJ set performances, as well as a new live A/V in collaboration with French artist Laura Gozlan.

Reclaim Your City 285 | Ontal & Ne/Re/A (New York)
Without progress, music becomes repetitive and trivial. For this reason, Ontal set aside the cast-iron principles of today’s genres and committed to the world of imagination. In this world, there is no place for the constantly recycled concepts of darkness and destruction that dominate certain genres. Neither is there place for the hedonistic simplicity of other genres. In fact, there is no place for genres at all. Progress and future are the only focus. The sound of Ontal found its home on labels such as HANDS Productions, Mord Records, Pi Electronics - π, Noiztank and more. The story continues..

Nerea Del Rio moved to New York in 2014 and has been since part of the Brooklyn queer underground scene, warehouse parties, and long techno nights. It was here where she started cultivating the appreciation for harder and industrial sounds that she always includes in her sets. Occasionally, she plays EBM sets that are influenced by her upbringing in the Basque Country where punk and hard rock where the most popular sounds.

Reclaim Your City 284 | Orphx (Hamilton, Ontario)
One of the most highly respected acts in both techno and industrial circles, Orphx have been developing their signature fusion of hypnotic rhythms and experimental noise for the past twenty four years. Using modular and analog synthesizers, software, location recordings and feedback circuits, Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey draw upon the darker, psychedelic fringes of electronic dance music and combine these elements with the experimental aesthetics and themes of early industrial music.
Orphx has gained an international following as one of the pioneering acts within the European ‘rhythmic noise’ scene and more recently came to prominence among techno fans through a series of acclaimed 12"s on Adam X’s Sonic Groove label, along with standout remixes for artists like Oscar Mulero, Perc, Drumcell, Svreca, and Conrad Schnitzler.
Oddie and Sealey have performed around the world at celebrated venues like Berghain and Tresor, and international festivals such as Atonal, Labyrinth, Movement, Mutek, and Unsound. They are renowned for delivering improvised performances that combine software with modular synthesizer and other hardware.
Orphx have released numerous albums and singles on vinyl, CD, and cassette that have had a significant influence on many artists in the present wave of industrial techno. Their most recent album, Pitch Black Mirror, has received critical acclaim for its unique fusion of techno, industrial, EBM and post-punk elements. Building on a sprawling back catalogue that stretches across genre divisions, Orphx are both pioneers and innovators in the fusion of rhythm and noise.

Reclaim Your City 282 | Remco Beekwilder ('s-Hertogenbosch)
Fairly new to the scene, but already way ahead of his game. With his signature sound, clearly rooted in nostalgia, the Dutchman quickly marked his own place in the electronic scene.
Early 2018 he kicked of his label EMERALD with his Nightlife EP. The Dutchman humbly pushes foward his vision of electronic music whilst trying to stay loyal to the rave. EMERALD 001 is themed with eerie, rave influences and his unmistakeable, warehouse-built kick drums.
His monumental LSD EP got released on Dax J's Monnom Black label and shows his diversity and capability as a producer, with four tracks that reflect his artistry perfectly. The long awaited LSD track reached No.34 into the DJ Mag top 50 tracks of 2017.
In 2016 Beekwilder’s 10th Planet EP got released on self reflektion and gained huge support from artists (Dax J, Marcel Dettmann, Luke Slater and Rebekah) and fans alike. Basement Tools EP on the same label got support from artists like Ben Sims, Paula Temple, Ø [Phase] and Dave Clark amongst others. In February of this year he released the State of Return EP on Binary Cells. A1 track 'Planet Acid' got featured in the Berghain 08 mix for Ostgut Ton.
Next to producing the Dutchman has been playing at some of the biggest clubs and events such as Awakenings, Reaktor, Rotterdamse Rave, Soenda, Kompass Club and Tresor.

Reclaim Your City 281 | YYYY (Buenos Aires)
YYYY is whomever you choose YYYY to be. To detach ourselves from any expression of existence is to deny our true being. Verbal language has allowed us to believe in the illusion of isolated phenomenons and blinded us from the absolute interdependence of everything that occurs. YYYY's music should not be thought of in these terms. YYYY and everything that exist is called into being by your command. YYYY is whomever you choose YYYY to be.

Reclaim Your City 273 | Kamikaze Space Programme (Berlin)
Kamikaze Space Programme is a true sonic renegade, a genuine musical experimenter. Somewhere between a classic Musique Concrète and modern electronic approach, KSP’s music is made up of myriad samples and found sounds from real world situations, it lends the stuff a very real texture and aesthetic that links it to the here and now, the everyday, in a very real way. The sound of an old truck, the hiss of a kettle or the clunking of a door are all fair game for KSP, who then takes his strange sound sources and weaves them into infectious sonic tapestries and intricate rhythms.
It all started for Chris Jarman in the mid-90s when he worked as an accomplished session musician. He first dipped his toe into the electronic world as a D&B producer at the turn of the century and was quickly signed to revered label Renegade Hardware and soon began playing around the world. Never one to sit still, Jarman wanted to foment an even more original sound and thus the Kamikaze Space Programme project was born.
It’s a project with its own sonic identity that has been snapped up by the press and public alike, with many festival appearances taking him across the globe and much music being released on labels such as Luke Slater's lengendary Mote Evolver, Mord Records, Killikill, Mindcut, Bob Bhrama’s West Norwood Cassette Library, TRUST & Mindcut and has been commissioned to remix artists such as Planetary Assault Systems, Emika, He/aT, Paul Mac and The Exaltics, always adding his own idiosyncratic take on things.

Reclaim Your City 272 | Janice (Berlin)
Born and raised in Berlin, JANICE has lived all over town and in despite of intending to leave it once, never did. Adapting, evolving and being in motion over the past 3 decades in this town created what you now experience as JANICE. It’s not a person, it’s more a feeling: Its primitive instincts and twilight doctrines.
JANICE combines the urge of fulfillment and propensity for creating, not wanting to define WHO Janice is, rather express WHAT Janice feels. Feelings which JANICE seem to uniquely manufacture into music always knowing:
could be everything, could be nothing.

Reclaim Your City 270 | Karl Meier (Chicago, Berlin)
A life-long devotee of electronic and experimental music, Karl P. Meier discovered Chicago House and Detroit Techno in the early nineties, and the rest, as they say, is boring. Determined to prove that dance music could be serious artform, and more than just escapist fare, he developed a DJing style (opening for artists such as Surgeon, Monolake, and Jeff Mills) that looks to the future while being influenced by the music of the past, exploring the grey area between the physical and the cerebral and focusing on dynamism, subversion, and recontextualization. Karl's current project, a collaboration with Jonathan "Stave" Krohn under the name Talker, appears on the esteemed Downwards imprint - in addition to 2 releases for that label, remixes have appeared on labels such as Eye Teeth, Horizontal Ground, and Kathexis.

Reclaim Your City 263 | Lag (Novi Sad, Serbia)
A promoter of the underground culture, Serbian-born DJ and producer Lag is respectively at the forefront of new wave of techno artists.
It is easy to notice from his sound that he did not take the usual route on his musical journey. He grew up with punk, acquired a classical education in music and then quit all to find himself enchanted by the possibilities of expressing oneself both through DJing and making electronic music. He chose techno to be the host for his creative discharge, while always incorporating a certain dosage of his previous musical life to his current work. Grit, rhythm and attitude are his main tools and he blends them into his music, creating a potent combination which enchants, moves and unifies.
Lag’s DJ performances on the Exit festival’s main DJ stage, and the legendary Tresor club speak volumes of his ability to engage his crowd, and offer an intense sonic experience. Through his DJ sets, as well as through workshops and events he organized and promoted under the umbrella of his organization 29524, Lag put efforts into closing the gap between the “good” and the “known”. Since then his promotional activities have reduced, and his focus moved to delivering extremely functional DJ sets, but also on creating and releasing original music, mostly in the techno genre. After several appearances and releases, predominantly on the Serbian label Teskoba, his remix of Grovskopa’s “Atopic” is released on vinyl by Sect Records. He follows it up with his first full EP named “Stutter”, a highly acclaimed release which came out on the notoriously uncompromising Singularity Recordings, and his latest outputs, 12” releases on MORD Records named “Misfit EP” and "Fiend EP", underline the quality and uniqueness of his already recognizable sound.

Joining their perspectives in a meticulous, hands-on working method, the two bring a balanced and hypnotizing sound to the club. Be it in the form of a dj set or their full- fledged hardware live set crystallizing in the mind and oscillating the body. What sets Artefakt apart is combination of musical material, atmosphere and groove, captivating your spirit, whether you are listening quietly on headphones, or you hear the music pounding from a 10 foot tall PA at a rave.

Reclaim Your City 260 | SHXCXCHCXSH & SSTROM (Norrköping, Sweden)
SHXCXCHCXSH are undoubtable masters of vivid techno constructions, which are as heavy as they are refined. On the first hour of this premiere episode recorded at the Sound Of Stockholm festival, SHXCXCHCXSH sculpt a small self-sufficient world with dystopian and cinematic flow, which acts as a de-personalised journey across some unfamiliar, mysterious, yet inviting landscapes with dusty clouds settling upon the nocturnal terrains. No wonder that such sound needs its own platform to be showcased and elaborated upon. That is why Rösten is now born, a newly founded label established by the duo to realize their ever-evolving creative visions.
While listening to the second hour by SSTROM recorded live at Tbsilisi’s superior KHIDI Club, you feel like touching some alien surfaces with utmost sensitiveness with surreal landscapes stretching out in your imagination. This is carefully crafted introvert music, yet having some elegant dancefloor appeal. Behind the SSTROM moniker hides a long-time activist of Sweden’s experimental techno scene. Having fallen in love with simple melodies and catchy arpeggios when being a member of bitpop/synth band Slagsmålsklubben, he transferred these sensibilities further into his other projects. SSTROM’s excellent 2016 debut for Semantica Records was an excellent exercise in lush aquatic techno with breezy and lush atmospheres.

Inigo Kennedy follows with the thoughtfully composed “Gradual Return,” in which an offbeat rhythm perfectly coexist with an uplifting yet melancholic synth. Things get even more exciting with Pfirter’s “Oppression,” which is both driving and hypnotizing, and makes a perfect peak time dancefloor bomb. The Argentinian mainstay, Jonas Kopp, increases the tempo on “Bigatron,” where a weirdly sarcastic groove pairs with a rain of metallic hi-hats as the piece progresses.

Tracklist: A1: Steve Bicknell - Confusion Of Chase A2: Inigo Kennedy - Gradual Return B1: Pfirter - Oppression B2: Jonas Kopp - Bigatron
Reclaim Your City returns to the shelves with its eight compilation featuring tracks by four of the genre’s finest. Master and legend, Steve Bicknell, opens the record with the track that truly stands out on the compilation: a psychedelic piece titled “Confusion of Chase,” which is convoluted, dark, and extremely captivating. Inigo Kennedy follows with the thoughtfully composed “Gradual Return,” in which an offbeat rhythm perfectly coexist with an uplifting yet melancholic synth. Things get even more exciting with Pfirter’s “Oppression,” which is both driving and hypnotizing, and makes a perfect peak time dancefloor bomb. The Argentinian mainstay, Jonas Kopp, increases the tempo on “Bigatron,” where a weirdly sarcastic groove pairs with a rain of metallic hi-hats as the piece progresses.

Reclaim Your City 257 | AnD (Manchester, Berlin)
Mancunian duo AnD rose to prominence in 2011 following a slew of ground breaking releases characterised by their refurbished, stripped back and Dave Clarke-inspired brand of techno. True vinyl purists, the two maintain fierce analogue production principals and showcase this in their heavy hitting live show.
AnD’s modernistic approach has been endorsed by trailblazing UK imprints Project Squared and Idle Hands, whilst their purist ideologies have been employed by the visionary Horizontal Ground, Black Sun Records and Repitch labels. Meanwhile covert productions on their own self-titled white label series has seen the pair embrace the shadowy outskirts of techno, furthered by a collaboration with Headless Horseman, Sunil Sharpe and D.Carbone for the clandestine Brothers imprint.
In recent years they’ve been stepping out under the banner of Speedy J’s respected Electric Deluxe brand, culminating in the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Cosmic Microwave Background’, back in Autumn 2014. The record sewed up AnD’s uncompromising sound into a long form dancefloor contemplation of the cosmos. It has since been remixed by a selection of the pair’s own noisy set of heroes, including Sleeparchive, O/H, Black Rain and JK Flesh, in a way completing the circle back to source.
Together with Tom Dicicco, the three artists established Inner Surface Music back in 2011, which has already garnered support from the likes of Regis, Surgeon, Lucy, Norman Nodge, DVS1 and many more. But it’s from the booth that AnD have been making their presence truly felt. As on point vinyl selectors and potent live performers they’ve been storming their way across Europe, from Berghain in Berlin to the mammoth Gashouder at Amsterdam Dance Event, leaving no floor unscathed by their wrecking ball sound and sledgehammer ethics.

Reclaim Your City 256 | Roman Lindau (Berlin)
Roman Lindau is a German techno DJ, artists and producer, as well as being a core member of the infamous Fachwerk Records from Berlin. Music has always coursed through Roman's veins ever since he was a young boy so it is no suprise that he became the accomplished producer and highly respected DJ that he is today.

At the same time he continued to work on music for Fachwerk Records. He produced dance floor smashers like ’Crasse' in 2011 and 'Rave on' in 2014, which were charted by the likes of Ben Klock, Sven Väth & Chris Liebing, affirming his deserved place amongst the techno elite.
The reason why Roman is such a great DJ is because of the fact he knows what the people want! ''I love to dance and that's very important: as DJ you need to feel what the crowd want so you can help them to party and have fun.’' Combining a varied selection of raw house and techno in his sets, recent bookings have taken Roman across the world; from the hallowed techno Mecca that is Berghain to dark underground clubs as part of the recent Fachwerk label tour.
He has performed at every legendary Berlin venue, past and present from Tresor to Berghain, and it is this that gives Roman the edge above the rest. If you can do it there, you can do it anywhere! From 2014 Till the closing he was a resident DJ at Stattbad, one of Berlins findest adress for Electronic Music. More recently in 2015 the well known Victor Calderone from NYC invited Roman to release on his label Matter+.

Reclaim Your City 253 | Cadans (London)
Of Dutch origin, London resident Jeroen Snik has had a decade long dance music career, touring the world and gracing different genres. Cadans is his very private vessel for exploring anything techno related which has always been a genre dear to his heart. Cadans’ dark organic and grooving output is drip fed to the public through sparse releases, having put out widely supported music with Wolfskuil, Balans and Clone Basement in the past. Now, with more releases on the horizon and a renewed commitment Cadans is due to take on a little more momentum.

Reclaim Your City 252 | Cassegrain (Berlin)
In techno circles, Cassegrain shouldn't need too much of an introduction. With a label résumé that includes, among others, Prologue, Infrastructure New York, Killekill, and Ostgut Ton — as well as highly regarded performances at Berghain, Village Underground, and Output — they've more than stamped their name on the scene. Alex Tsiridis and Hüseyin Evirgen — the two artists behind Cassegrain — formed the project after a chance meeting at the Redbull Music Academy in Barcelona. In the years following, they collaborated remotely via email, sending stems back and forth before making a move to Berlin where they currently share a studio.
Back in May 2016, the duo folded a former secret alias and launched it as a label under the same name, Arcing Seas. The first release was ARCS-01, an intense and varied three-tracker of warped beauty. A second release will be out in a few months, followed by a third shortly after—a testament to the duo's relentless work ethic.
Although Tsiridis and Evirgen obviously have an affinity for collaboration—the pair also work alongside Tin Man, a relationship that has delivered a handful of EPs and standout live shows—they are also now stepping out as solo artists. Evirgen's first record as Magna Pia was released via Counterchange, while Tsiridis released as Rhyw on Rotterdam's Tar Hallow and Shifted’s Avian with more music forthcoming this year.

Reclaim Your City 250 | Ryan James Ford (Berlin)
During the 1990’s while growing up in Calgary Canada, Ryan James Ford was introduced to electronic music through the local rave and club culture. He began to discover, study, and collect the music he heard at these parties which consisted of a mix of Jungle, UK hardcore, Techno, House, IDM, and ambient.
Fast forward almost two decades later to Berlin, where Ryan and his productions found a home in Marcel Dettmann Records. 2015 saw him make his solo debut on the techno stalwart’s label with an atmospheric and ambient leaning techno EP. The five-tracker easily conveys the rich influence IDM has had on personality and his production style.
Although now, predominantly a techno DJ and producer, Ryan’s sets and productions are rich with inspiration from his time spent living in Calgary where he had interests not only in electronic music but also in hip hop, reggae, punk, experimental, and even metal. He began experimenting with production in the early 2000’s but it wasn’t until 2011, with a move to Berlin, that he started investigating his musical capabilities seriously.
Even though two decades have passed since Ryan’s introduction to electronic music, his love for early Warp, Skam, Talkin’ Loud, Metalheads, Novamute, Downwards, etc. can still be heard resoundingly clear in the strength and versatility of his sets and productions. The future will see Ford continue to play out and release on labels that share his like-minded affiliation and roots in the techno community.

Reclaim Your City 247 | JK Flesh (Birmingham)
Justin K. Broadrick’s output is an intimidating one. He began, aged 15, with the recording of his first and last record with Napalm Death. From there he formed pioneering industrial metal group Godflesh. He also met Kevin Martin, AKA The Bug, and began experimenting with everything from dub and techno to hip-hop, breakbeat as Techno Animal. Together they produced four albums, plus a collaboration with Porter Ricks.
JK Flesh debuted in 2012 with the album ‘Posthuman’ on 3BY3, but it’s lineage can be traced right back to Kevin “K-Mart” Martin and the pair’s psychedelic industrial techno project, The Sidewinder, which was picked up by Mille Plateaux in 1996. The studio pet-name would later become his alter-ego, as Broadrick explained to Resident Advisor in a 2012 interview: ” JK Flesh is the angry, hateful, disenchanted side of what I do with electronic beat-driven/bass-driven music.”
There’s been the stinging ‘Worship Is The Cleansing Of The Imagination’ since, a split with Prurient, and this year’s ‘Suicide Estate’ EP on Hospital Productions. Electric Deluxe had the honour of bringing the next JK Flesh album kicking and screaming into the world – “Rise Above” was released in June 2016, and displayed a move towards a new form of sludge industrial techno. Legendary techno label Downwards, put out the ‘Nothing Is Free’ 12″ single next, complete with Surgeon remix. Forthcoming releases on Hospital Productions, Downwards and Inner Surface, besides others, are next to come in 2017.
“The Brummie noise legend returns. It was only a few days ago that we were treated to Justin Broadrick’s ‘Nothing Is Free’ EP, a short 12′′ under the JK Flesh moniker that saw him team up with industrial techno don Surgeon. Now, Broadrick has revealed his latest full-length statement in the shape of sprawling 2LP Rise Above. The album will be released on Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe imprint, and continues Broadrick’s recent excursions into the dark recesses of club music. The doomy, distorted grind of Godflesh and Jesu is certainly still present, but woven into a wheezing 4/4 template that doesn’t sound a million miles from Andy Stott’s patented “knackered house” or a Surgeon record on the wrong speed being played through a broken car stereo. Yep ‘it’s great’ - FACT mag.

Reclaim Your City 246 | Nadia Struiwigh (Rotterdam)
Sitting somewhere between Biosphere and Board of Canada, Struiwigh’s refined downtempo electronica takes you on a journey full of synthesized soundscapes that flirt with ambient techno. “The output of my emotions and travelling works as an inspiration for my own productions’.
Nadia Struiwigh’s music feeds the imagination with it’s distinctive style. Rich, with wonderfully crafted sounds, melodies and atmospheres, her work evokes fragments and splinters of thought like distant and dreamlike memories of other times, other places. It provides the listener with an aural palette which to paint pictures and scenes in their minds. It is an invitation into Nadia’s world where her music comes from her heart and doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
Nadia’s use of sounds create an oblique feeling of timelessness. Synthesised percussion from the hear and now is often made to sound ethnic, primal and ancient. The melodies and atmospheres also blur time with their pensive and almost hypnagogic qualities. The present and past become one.
Her DJ and analog Live sets are variable between ambient, experimental and energetic techno, with different kind of energy levels. Her appearances on radio stations/ podcast series like Beatport, Invite’s Choice, RYC, Radio 538, Slam FM + her sets on a variety of parties in and outside Holland (Italy, Germany, Belgium) + recent remixes and debut album release on CPU are proof examples of the recognition of her unique style.

Reclaim Your City 240 | Ritzi Lee (Amsterdam)
It’s all about the moment. A certain record being played at a certain time and place. For sure everyone who’s ever been at a techno party knows about the excitement taking hold of a crowd when a DJ is in fully control of this talent. With this in mind, it’s a small step to an artist like Ritzi Lee –a DJ who lives for these kinds of moments. Working his craft for many years now, this Dutch techno phenomenon was already there in the early days. Making his way through the Amsterdam nightlife, where he witnessed the euphoria in famous clubs like RoXY and iT, he discovered his love for pure techno music. Winning a DJ contest held by dance magazine Bassic Groove Magazine he caught a wave, getting to play renowned events like Dance Valley and the FFWD Dance Parade.
Even though Ritzi Lee was already spinning records for a couple of years, now a bigger audience noticed his talent. A flawless technique and recognizable straight techno sound made him one of techno music’s underground stars –things started to roll.
Especially when the Dutchman launched his Underground Liberation imprint, where he’d be releasing some of the most successful techno tracks, Ritzi Lee became a household name in the international scene. He was omnipresent throughout the 00s, playing the largest festivals, performing at Awakenings, doing club gigs supporting DJs like Jeff Mills and Ben Sims, playing ADE on Dave Clarke’s night, gaining fans everywhere. A solid repution he’s kept until today.
Definitely something noteworthy, check out his releases at Ben Sims’ label Theory Recordings, these are the tracks that define him as one of the techno originators of this new decade. DJs like Luke Slater, Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, MARCEL DETTMANN and Ben Klock still play Ritzi Lee’s productions. No doubt it’s the result of the Dutchman always staying true to his own ideas.
“There’s a fine line between all the music I ever released”, Ritzi Lee explains. “A kind of tension building up, using different layers before reaching a climax –just as with my DJ sets it’s something of a trademark sound. I don’t want to follow a formula or do what everyone else is doing, I try to follow my own path without getting distracted by hypes or trends in the music.”
So, this is an artist not afraid to go back to the source, getting inspiration from Detroit to Tresor.Berlin (OFFICIAL), while always renewing and finetuning his music. Perhaps difficult to pinpoint from a distance but, as said before, it’s all about the experience. Being there at the right moment, when music, venue and DJ fall into place.

Alongside this, Pris launched the more dance floor orientated, hand stamped series ‘Unbeknown To Us’, which has now seen two releases.
2017 has seen Pris release a remix ep on his own Resin imprint, comprising of heavy duty remixes of his own tracks by Blawan, Shifted, Reeko & Stenny. Pris has also remixed the likes of Tadeo for psyk’s Non Series alongside Anthony Linell / Abdulla Rashim, Silent Servant (Official)t, Efdemin & Function and a remix of Pact Infernal for the Samurai Music off-shoot Horo alongside Svreca.

Through out the years Lenny has seen and experienced many waves of the various sounds that dominated the city’s hot spots (Red Zone, Limelight, Sound Factory…) Being fully immersed and accepted by all the factions of the New York underground is what truly inspired him to take this Art form further. These early influences led Lenny to become a DJ, promoter, and now label head of three very successful record labels - Thema Recordings and Chronicle Records. Utilizing his years of experience in different facets of the industry – promotion, label management, DJing – helped to carve out his small niche in the City’s well-known music history.

Reclaim Your City 229 | REKA (Berlin)
With a thirst for adventurous selections oscillating between merciless dystopian aesthetics and moments of sheer beauty, REKA has cultivated her very own personal approach to heady machine music. Featuring everything from contemporary, state-of-the-art techno to the genre's prototypical past of Electro's early days her sets are a highly sensitive affair; maneuvering seamlessly through dance music's many permutations with the same manual control and balance as when riding her motorcycle through the streets of Berlin.
Interested in music since a very young age and already collecting vinyls at ten, she became equally infatuated with Science, so it was not until she finished her degree in Genetics that she would pursue her artistic path. Her eagerness for knowledge and deep analysis can be felt through her carefully narrated musical journeys.
Only one year into her Dj career, she was discovered by Dj Hell and joined International Deejay Gigolos as part of the female duo leChic, where the critically acclaimed CD-mix “leMix” was released and world wide tour would follow. However, after few years, Reka, who was also selected to participate in Toronto´s edition of Red Bull Music Academy, felt the desire to start her solo path considerably darker and closer to experimental realms. It was then, the perfect time to move to Berlin where she would eventually become resident at the legendary club TRESOR.

Reclaim Your City 224 | Javier Bähr (Munich)
Nicolai Bähr (born 1994) came to Techno for the first time as a teenager in Darmstadt, his hometown. The music fascinated DJ and producer appearing as Javier Bähr, and so he tried out to work as a DJ and to dive into the different shapes and styles. At first, he was drawn to the Darmstadt scene and explored the techno-terrain in Frankfurt. Starting from 2014 he commuted monthly to Berlin, in order to receive inspiration for his own way.
In Berlin, he also cultivated his love for vinyl and since then loves to wander through the large number of record shops in the capital. To date, Javier Bähr has also been a big fan of soundtracks for movies and ambient music. He refers to the musical influences of musicians such as Hans Zimmer, Jóhann Jóhnnsson and Max Richter.
For his studies as media designer he moved to Munich, where he quickly immersed himself in the musical scene. It was larger than the one in Darmstadt, but by far not as important as it is today. Since the beginning of 2015 he is Resident DJ of the MMA - Mixed Munich Arts Club. In addition, Bähr is a member of the label and event series "From Another Mind" that are hosting monthly events in Stuttgart and Munich.

After moving from Tel Aviv to Berlin in 2013, Elad evolved and ended up founding his own label Front Left Records. The label is a collective of friends who dance together and celebrate techno weekly. All the releases come from artists who share the front left corner of a certain well known institution.
When Elad is in the booth, his sets combine both modern and old techno, keeping the rhythm and synthesizers full throttle at all times. In this podcast you will hear a lot of Detroit influences and also some unreleased material. You can find Elad playing around his home town, in venues like Tresor, ://about blank, Humboldthain, Griessmühle, Schwüz & more.
His label is reaching its 3rd release, coming up around May 2017. The next record will be a collaboration of Elad and Mathias Weber, joining forces with remixes from Hector Oaks & Blind Observatory.

Reclaim Your City 219 | Don Williams (Berlin)
Don Williams is one of the most subversive artists of the Berlin techno scene. His path of eastern German Techno-socialization began in the mid-nineties and led quickly from mere record collector up to producer and co-founder of the label Tokomak. It was here that in 1999 his first release appeared, followed by releases on Mark Broom’s Pure Plastic, as well as Rewired, Styrax Records and Styrax Leaves.
He founded his own label Mojuba Records in 2005. Since then it stands for elaborate and one-of-a-kind deephouse releases. His techno productions found an adequate home in 2006 with the formation of the label a.r.t.less. In 2008 followed the label wandering, which features many different styles. In his label catalogue, besides his personal releases, one can find artists such as Convextion aka E.R.P., Chez Damier, Ron Trent, Steve Rachmad and many more.
Being at home with many different styles of electronic music, as a DJ Don Williams stands for Detroit-style Technosound with just the right amount of historical awareness, internationally as well as on the home front at Berghain / Panorama Bar where since 2008 the Mojuba-labelnights are hosted.
Currently Don Williams is working on numerous new projects, focusing mainly on his own productions and remixes as well as completing his debut album - always commemorating the legacy of house and techno.

Reclaim Your City 217 | Andre Kronert (Güstrow)
Analogue warmth meets raw energy: This furious mixture made Andre Kronert a synonym for powerful and high-octane club sound, as a DJ as well as a producer. Since 1994 the head honcho of Odd/Even, Knowone, 3rd Wave Music and Neurotron Music has set on fire countless parties and festivals, proving himself to be a major reason for escalating atmospheres and bursting dance floors from Dubai to Georgia.
In his productions Andre Kronert performs a mesmerizing balancing act between two worlds. On the one side, there is the raw energy and explosive power of his ecstatic, repetitive rhythms. On the other side his style is characterized by subtle build-ups, filigree sound textures and the warmth of analogue synthesis. For a good reason, since Andre Kronert has been an avid vinyl lover since he started DJing 15 years ago. During his live performances he exclusively relies on his beloved music machinery which includes no laptop. However, he does not regard himself to be a moralizer for the analogue movement: In the end, it’s all about fun!
His thirst for new enterprises frequently reaches hyperactive dimensions and is the driving force behind his labels Odd/Even, 3rd Wave Music or Neurotron Music and the mysterious Knowone. So there’s a very good change that we’ll hear even more from Andre Kronert in the near future!
His productions has been released on labels like EXILE, Stockholm Limited, Figure, Mosaic or his very own ODD EVEN to name a few.
Artists and key player like Markus Suckut, Len Faki, Jonas Kopp, Efdemin, Ed Davenport, Pär Grindvik, Ron Albrecht, Pfirter and more have remixes done for his productions.

Reclaim Your City 216 | Oliver Deutschmann (Berlin)
Berlin's Oliver Deutschmann has gained a reputation over the last 15 years through his pure passion, diverse track selection and an unambiguous mixing ability. Years before he released his first EPs he had already set himself on a path that would see him DJ all over the world, eventually leading to his adopted home of Berghain where he has lit up both rooms of the club dozens of times since first playing there almost ten years ago. Deutschmann displays a distinct unwillingness to be pigeonholed in any one style, and is right at home whether he's warming things up with an understated house groove or thrashing the big rooms with his grandiose brand of techno.
While honing his abilities at the controls, he also began testing the waters of production and label ownership, and has since created four labels: Vidab, Falkplatz, Slim Audio and the vinyl only imprint GKNSTR. Releases on Soma, Aim, Caduceus, Etruria Beat, Mobilee, and his own imprints culminated in his 2013 debut album, 'Out of the Dark,' that Resident Advisor described to be "as potent as any techno album released in the last few years." As an impassioned DJ, producer, and label owner, Deutschmann has ensured that his position in the forefront was never a fleeting one, and with numerous EPs on the way, it looks like things will stay that way.

Reclaim Your City 210 | He/At (Midlands, UK)
He/aT (aka Chris Finke) has been a mainstay of UK techno since the early 2000s.
As well as holding down one of the longest running residencies in techno at seminal UK institution Atomic Jam, he ran the the Flux Recordings label, and remixed the likes of Mark Broom, Orlando Voornand A Guy Called Gerald, he also co-produced & presented the incredibly influential Split Radio Show and series of parties with Ben Sims in the mid 2000's.
In a brave move to keep things fresh, late 2013 saw him essentially killing off his past name and started recording anonymously under the He/aT moniker with a string of releases on his self titled vinyl-only label that immediately grabbed attention of DJs and record-buyers.

Reclaim Your City 208 | Héctor Oaks (Berlin)
Over the last few years, DJ and producer Héctor Oaks has made quite a name for himself. With his first release on the KEY imprint in 2014, he soon after joined the Unbroken booking agency, an established collective of artists and friends from Berlin. 2015 saw Héctor begin working at The Record Loft, while in 2016 he started his own imprint, OAKS. He also releases music under the name Cadency. Though he resides in Berlin, Héctor Oaks is from Madrid.
As a producer, Héctor has also released superlative works on labels Sonntag Morgen, Mutewax, and GKNSTR (under the alias Cadency), along with a slew of remixes, which have been played by some of the most recognised DJs of the scene.
With the first release on his own imprint OAKS arriving in the middle of 2016 Héctor delivered one of his strongest works yet. Sonically what is unique about Héctor’s sound is his uncanny sense of producing truly evocative and outstanding works of timeless techno. Powerful, deep, raw and emotive, his style juxtaposes classic and soulful Detroit and Chicago sounds with Berlin’s modern, strong and gritty atmosphere, while simultaneously infusing his trademark of authentic and enthralling melodies.
Although his production has played an instrumental part in his success, it was DJing that first attracted him to electronic music, and eventually led him to producing. Having started mixing at 15, Héctor’s skill and musical selection has developed immensely over the years through both practice and dedication.

Reclaim Your City 207 | Black Asteroid (New York)
Obsessed with sound and graphic design, bryan black aka black asteroid started his music career as a sound designer and keyboard tech for PRINCE at PAISLEY PARK STUDIOS. While at Paisley Park, bryan learned how to manipulate computers and instruments in ways that could only be learned under the watchful eye of Prince.
while working for Prince, black proceeded to create his own music- some of the most alien techno records released on labels such as Mute and Kompakt. these records caught the ear of MARTIN GORE from DEPECHE MODE. soon after, bryan was on tour with Depeche Mode with his band MOTOR, and recording songs with Martin Gore at his home in Santa Barbara.
in 2011 after years of recording and touring with MOTOR, bryan wrote “Engine 1” to start a new chapter- returning to his techno roots in the boldest possible way. approaching techno from a completely different place, black asteroid set about making techno from a new perspective. the first EP “Engine” was immediately signed to CLR records, became an instant hit, and was a precursor to what soon became known as industrial techno.
The fashion designer RICK OWENS picked up on what was happening, and used black's music for his runway shows in Paris. the two quickly became friends and collaborators. their next collaboration comes in the form of the debut album from Black Asteroid, coming in early 2017 on Last Gang records.

Synthek moved the first steps in his hometown Naples, extending then to the London club scene, before settling in Berlin. Always seeking for new influences, over the past years his musical background had a constant growth, which can be seen through the evolution of his productions and sets, rich of deep rhythmics and powerful, introspective vibes.
For the last two years he has made numerous outputs on various labels such as Edec Music, Limited or LC Series. Among his outings we can mention Aaron EP on Translucent Label, his last track “Coherence” for the second episode of D.A.N.C.E. on Attic Music Label and the 2 ep “Reclaim Your City” and “The Storm Abive Us, featured by great remix by Raffaele Attanasio, Mattias Fridell for the 004, and Zadig & Jearon Search for the 005, both on his imprint Natch Records.
Moreover several of these releases are supported by many great artists. His first album “Unwise” released on Natch Records with Audiolouis, is a bold sequence of powerful tracks devotedly written for the dancefloor, but still keeps a certain emotional aspect made of few melodic Detroit rooted cuts, standing as a tribute to the author’s primary inspirations.
Since January 2014, his residency at Tresor allowed him to take care of the New Faces Nights, monthly event focused on the young talents of the Techno scene. Always delivering strong and powerful set, Synthek is characterized by solid mixing skills sharpened through many years behind the desk.

British born, Berlin-based Tommy Four Seven has established himself as a leading name in today’s techno scene. Releasing on labels such as CLR, Electric Deluxe and Stroboscopic Artefacts. He also runs his own imprint and event series 47 and is one half of experimental electronic duo, These Hidden Hands.
A string of early releases, shared over a diverse range of labels including Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe, Darko Esser's Wolfskuil Records, and his own now-defunct Shooting Elvis culminated in 2011’s Primate, a forward-thinking debut full-length that saw the producer explore a range of textures that he felt were missing at the time by relying only on field recordings instead of traditional hardware. The success of the album which saw high-profile remixes from artists including Robert Hood, Regis and Perc, marked a cornerstone in his long-standing relationship with Chris Liebing’s CLR imprint. Tommy also earned an enviable spot on Stroboscopic Artefacts’ Monad series, and followed this up in 2014 with a contribution to the label’s “Five Years of Artefacts” compilation. His growing recognition as a remixer has also seen him rework tracks from Perc, Truss, Emika, Eomac, Oscar Mulero and Lucy.
Coinciding with his work as a solo producer is These Hidden Hands, an experimental side project with long-term friend, Alain Paul. Born in 2013, the collaboration serves as a passport to explore realms that stretch beyond techno. The duo’s self-titled debut album, released in 2013, was followed in February 2016 with a new single featuring Lucrecia Dalt. Their sophomore long-player is expected in July 2016.
The final part of his artistic repertoire is 47, an established party series with a supporting label. The aim is to encourage emerging talent, whilst also recognising established artists in the scene who have helped to shape Tommy’s sound. Previous acts have included Ancient Methods, SNTS, UVB, Shlømo, Killawatt and I/Y. 47 began as a regular event Berlin’s Arena nightclub, but 2015 saw the series grow and cross international borders to Paris and Amsterdam, with more events slated for 2016. Guests are also invited to contribute to the label’s renowned Various Artists compilations.

Reclaim Your City 195 | Głós (Berlin)
As a Polish-born kid who grew up on Rock music and spent his youth playing in various bands, who loves clubs and parties butwho nevertheless has always been looking for more than what the plain reign of the four-four time has to offer, Głós (speak: 'Gwos') is a producer and live-artist who adores to make people dance with his unapologetic and hypnotic Techno. His handcrafted music stands for the pursuit and documentation of adelomorphous moments in diurnal nights, precious snippets that elsewise dissolve back into nothingness.
Hailing from Berlin, Głós' music is known for connecting 'yesterday' and 'tomorrow' without leaving 'today' aside. Slowly pulsating, his music takes off as if resounding from a distance. It seems as if you've already left the club behind while the vibrant rhythms still linger in your mind. It's the resurrection of a long gone sound whose echo is still alive on the streets, haunting you.

When you scratch the surface though, what you find is a genuinely humble human with a true passion for techno and a love for DJing, who can be found spending as much time outside of the DJ booth as he does inside it. It’s the kind of grateful joy you find in those who come from small Midwestern towns in the U.S., and find themselves in a city like Berlin.

Marco Bläsi & Luigi Urban, better known as SHDW & Obscure Shape, founded From Another Mind in April of 2014, a party which brought their favorite artists to their hometown Stuttgart.

Reclaim Your City 189 | Alienata (Berlin)
Spanish-born, Berlin-based DJ Alienata is a self-described sound obsessive whose sets span obscure electro, acid, dub, IDM, dark disco, jackbeat, and cosmic jazz. A former philosophy student with a particular interest in mysticism, Alienata began DJing in 2000. In also participated in theatre and music-technology workshops and oversaw its label operations. Her earliest contact with Germany's dance music scene came through Leipzig's Homoelektrik collective, and upon moving to Berlin in 2011, she quickly found an adoptive family in the Killekill label and associated Krake Festival. When behind the decks, Alienata is closely attuned to both internal and external influences, and is unconcerned with providing listeners with conjunction with Valencia's Overflow Collective, she not only served as a resident DJ but an "easy" experience.

Reclaim Your City 188 | Mirella Kroes (Amsterdam)
Mirella Kroes is a strong mind with a love for nature, both spiritual and down to earth. This duality is reflected in her dj-sets. She favours the contemporary, deeper side of techno that is in equal parts enticing to the brain and captivating the soul. Mirella tends to explore the trippier, mental side of electronic music in her sets that echo a longing for the mysterious. Space is key in her meticulously crafted organic builds that allow for time to appreciate the space between sounds and the crispy little details that keep it fresh. If you want to experience her musical vision take a plunge and submerge yourself in warm space and deep sounds at Motiv, the clubnight she runs in Amsterdam.
Hailing from the north of Holland, Mirella started buying records with her older brother who taught her how to mix at the age of 19. Tough loop oriented techno was the soundtrack to the local rave scene at the turn of centuries that fostered her career. Nowadays she prefers a combination of hypnotic and transcendental music with the occasional old school dance floor driver in between. She has over ten years experience and is a regular in Dutch and European clubs. Over the years she played in Doornroosje, Trouw, Studio 80, and at festivals such as Awakenings. She held a residency in the now closed Cruquiusgilde, a former warehouse in Amsterdam known for its raw and intimate setting.

Reclaim Your City 187 | Abayomi (Berlin)
From the shores of a beautiful land, across the Atlantic and through the infernal darkness of the soul, this mix from Abayomi describes a journey. Shackled aliens arrived in a strange world of heat, hatred and fear. Still, they came with a gift. Coded languages that spoke of healing and profound things from advanced civilisations far, far away. Centuries later, it is some of these eternal stories of emancipation that are humbly weaved together for you - songs of the drum.
Hypnotic, driving and forward-thinking techno describes the sound of unique rising talent Abayomi, the Nigerian/London born DJ and producer, and Reclaim Your City (://aboutblank Berlin) resident. Four solid EPs under his belt include the first sold-out release on his own imprint and recently released RYC Berlin_Paris 2.0 which features Abayomi’s “Rebirth” alongside tracks from solid techno acts Anetha, I/Y & François X.
His vinyl label, like his DJ sets, unites elements of deep, raw Detroit techno and dirty Chicago house with a strong London attitude. The same-named imprint was launched in 2015 as a vehicle for his first issue under the Abayomi moniker, ‘You Sleep, They Live!’, which sold out with local support from OYE Records and received club and podcast play from the likes of Ellen Allien, Ben Sims, most recently appearing on Moderat’s BBC1 Essential Mix.

Reclaim Your City 186 | Phase Fatale (Berlin)
Phase Fatale is the techno project of Berlin-based DJ and producer Hayden Payne from New York. Coming from a background playing in post-punk bands over the past years, Phase Fatale is an artistic endeavor that serves as an outlet for his own interpretation of darker, harder and industrial-influenced techno. Brutal productions confronted by sinister atmospheres create a sound imprint that has mutated into a new electronic identity. Rigid drumming, cold synths and bleak samples - the image of future war.
Phase Fatale’s DJ sets rework the connections between techno, post-punk and industrial while his live sets achieve an engrossing sound through the heavy use of machines.
Phase Fatale has released on labels such as Avant! and Aufnahme + Wiedergabe since 2014 documenting his ever-evolving output. 2016 sees him continuing on to Jealous God, the label co-run by Regis, Silent Servant and James Ruskin.

Reclaim Your City 182 | Jeff Derringer (Chicago)
Chicago's Jeff Derringer is a staple of the American techno scene, and one of its most respected producers. Considered one of the primary tastemakers of the Midwest techno community, Jeff has influenced the scene with his releases on esteemed labels like Soma, Electric Deluxe and Perc Trax, as well as his performances and event production. As a resident at Smartbar, America's most revered and longestrunning dance club, Jeff presides over Oktave, his home-grown techno night that focuses on the best and brightest international talent.
Jeff's productions display the skill and focus of a life-long musician, one who has spent decades honing his craft. Influenced by everything from early 80s film scores, industrial, trip hop, IBM and beyond, his tough, textured and direct techno is suitable for the dance floor as well as the home listening environment. With a focus on production quality over quantity, every record Jeff releases has his sound signature all over it. His releases have earned the praise of stalwarts like Regis, Surgeon, Luke Slater and many more. New records are forthcoming in 2016 on Soma, Lanthan Audio and Reclaim Your City.
As a performer, Jeff delivers complex and urgent soundscapes, combining old-school analog techniques (drum machines, synthesizers) with newer technology including Ableton Live, Push and Maschine. He experiments with different set ups and hardware regularly, pushing the envelope of what's possible in a traditional techno DJ set. Jeff has taken his sound around the world, including appearances at Berghain in Berlin, Ruigoord Church in Amsterdam, as well as the Movement Electronic Music Festival and the Great American Techno Festival in Denver. Upcoming gigs include a return to Berghain, and dates in Tbilisi, Amsterdam, Lyon, Denver, Detroit, New York and beyond.
While production and performance take up most of his time, Jeff continues to teach music production to students at Columbia College Chicago. His classes focus on Ableton and Maschine, helping to unlock the talents of a new generation of artists. Showing them the way with affordable tools and a DIY mindset, Jeff hopes to have a lasting impact on the lives of the next wave of underground talent in Chicago.

Reclaim Your City 180 | Drumcell (Los Angeles)
Drumcell was born as Moe Espinosa in Los Angeles’ San Gabriel Valley. Far away from the glamour and glitter of Hollywood, he cut his teeth growing up in a vibrant, culturally diverse neighborhood that still breeds inspiration for his work. San Gabriel Valley is also where he and the Raíz brothers, Vangelis and Vidal, met and founded Droid Behavior in the early 2000s which lead to the infamous Interface warehouse series and lauded techno label Droid Recordings.
A classically trained musician in his youth, Moe explores and discovers the analogue world as much as the digital world of music production, to finally combine them into his very own raw, suspenseful and hypnotic style. Influenced by a myriad of music as well as science fiction and machines, he has developed an addiction to analog synthesis which has led to ceaseless experiments in his studio in search of new, mind-expanding sounds. As one of the most esoteric techno artists in North America, his sound disregards genre limitations and is everything but conventional techno.
This style has caught the attention of many of the world’s top techno jocks, and he has released on labels such as DROID, CLR, Electric Deluxe, Torque, Silent Steps, Blank Code, Ibadan, Detroit Underground, and much more. This style has also reached numerous prestigious international clubs and festivals. From Berlin ́s techno mecca Berghain to the main stage of The Movement in Detroit to North American nightclubs like Output and Stereo to festivals across Europe, Latin America, Japan and Australia - Drumcell’s sound can be heard around the world.

Reclaim Your City 179 | Michal Wolski (Warsaw)
Musician, journalist, radio host. In his works he is looking for a balance between the corporeal and the contemplative aspects of music. Sound induced by him can be described as something between techno, deep techno and dub techno, under a deep impact of broadly although not always explicitly understood ambient. Founder of Minicromusic Rec. His constructs are much more than a set of sea sound fantasies but often a truly deep acoustic ecology in time of overall hiss.

Reclaim Your City 178 | Dustin Zahn (Minneapolis)
The story behind Dustin Zahn is not a particularly unique or exciting one. There are no breakthrough moments or mentors who have taken him under their wing. But since 1998, his work has put his career on a slow and steady ascent. Along the way, Dustin has gained over 10 years of experience and unrivaled musical diversity as both a producer and a performer. This alone has earned him respect among techno and house legends, purists, and contemporary DJs.
He now performs regularly around the world at some of the most reputable clubs and festivals along with some dodgy, sleazy warehouses and beach parties in-between. His DJ sets are much like his releases. “I like it dark enough for the boys, but groovy enough for the girls.” With a preference for marathon sets and his laid-back approach to life and music, he seamlessly traverses through various genres which creates a unique, hypnotic vibe that isn’t found among most DJs.
As a producer, his releases on labels such as Drumcode, Rekids, and CLR have brought him international success. While Dustin’s original productions are something of the rare and special sort, it’s his remixes that have helped catapult him into the collections of DJs everywhere. As a remixer, he has done work for the likes of Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Green Velvet, Dubfire, Nic Fanciluli, Mark Broom, Joel Mull, and many other high profile acts. Despite his busy release schedule, he still finds time to own and operate Enemy Records. Founded in 2004, Enemy focuses on the same late-night hypnotic techno that you’ll often find in his DJ sets.

Reclaim Your City 177 | Inland (Berlin)
Inland is the alter-ego of respected British DJ and Producer Ed Davenport. The project stands for purist, atmospheric club music with weight and soul; its feet firmly planted on the dancefloor, while its head scans the outer-limits for more experimental formations. The combination is modernist electronic music that manifests itself as Techno. He performs Live with a hybrid laptop + hardware setup, and DJs in clubs worldwide playing surging, visceral selections new and old. Inland productions have surfaced on Berlin’s Ostgut Ton, Davenport’s own Counterchange imprint, Infrastructure and Boddika’s respected UK bastion Nonplus+.
Alongside long-time colleague Function, Inland co-runs the Infrastructure label, where the duo released their collaborative ‘Odeon/Rhyl’ EP in 2014 as Function/Inland. They now look to the release of the first full label compilation, ‘Infrastructure: Facticity’, which the pair will bring to select clubs around the world in 2016. The release of ‘Infrastructure Facticity’ also sees the first solo Inland track in the Infrastructure catalogue, in the form of the eerie ‘Acidalia’, alongside Function/Inland's 12 minute 'Colwyn Bay', a full Inland EP is in preparation for the label.
Some words by Inland about this mix - "It's a 1 hour ambient/experimental mix, arranged in three movements. It features some of my own unreleased productions and noise-based stems from my live set, layered amongst unreleased tracks from friends, and other works I've been enjoying listening to while at home or traveling."

Reclaim Your City 176 | Nihad Tule (Stockholm)
Nihad Tule has emerged as one of the most prolific producers on the Swedish techno scene. Inspired by feedback from unruly machines, random and chaotic generation, his music is often stripped down to the very basics, seemingly simplistic at first, later revealing layers of complexity that truly witness his dedication to the craft.
Behind the decks, Nihad Tule’s multifaceted selection combined with his unique ability to build suspense has led him to become a returning figure at some of the world's finest techno clubs.
With the launch of his imprint SLOBODA, formed around themes of reflective nostalgia and identities in transition, his output has become more focused. Moreover, he has left a trail of releases on respected labels like Random Island, Skudge and Drumcode LTD both under his own name and in the projects Velež, Taken (with Elias Landberg) and NTTA11 (with Inter Gritty).

Reclaim Your City 173 | Vincent Neumann (Leipzig)
Born, raised and currently residing in Leipzig, Vincent Neumann works as a psychotherapist during the day and as a dj by night. As one of the residents of Leipzig’s Distillery since 2012, he happily gets to share his passion for dance music regularly with some of his favourite musicians and idols and is grateful for every gig he gets to play. When looking for records, new musical discoveries are as important to him as discovering hidden gems buried deep in tabs of discogs. The vibes during his dj-sets are often described as energetic, fast, enthusiastic and sometimes even relentless, without ever sacrificing taste or quality. As someone that deliberately will never be a full-time DJ, for him, authenticity will always stand above fame, and as such an honest dance behind the decks while playing will also always mean more than a staged event-video. As Oscar Wilde supposedly once said: "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken."

Reclaim Your City 172 | SP-X (Brussels)
Strobes flicker through the salt running into your eyes. Isolated and embraced by the flashing fog removing the tethers of the where and how. Your chest thumps, your body moves, you feel the air, heavy breaths and moments of clarity. Schooled by the Brussels underground, SP-X prefers to let the music do the talking.

Reclaim Your City 171 | Anja Zaube (Berlin)
Anja Zaube can look back on a long DJ-bio already. After first appearances as ‘Nanday’ in the left-winged underground of Berlin, she took a short break and had a come-back to the turntables in 2008 under her own name. She’s often seen in Berlin’s top-clubs, from which mostly to be heard in ://about blank.
After playing different genres of electronic dance music, Anja‘s sound turned darker and harder. Her interpretation of Techno is deep, bleak, but also industrial and experimental. That‘s what makes her sound unique and what finally got her several bookings in Berghain already and made her a popular DJ in the Berlin Underground Techno Scene.
After her first release on://about blank’s celebration sampler, she also released her first EP on the label HET, named Sylvan Structes EP. In January 2016 she launched her own label Nemorous Rec. in collaboration with Dim_Light - which has a more experimental approach to techno. A third release is already in the pipeline one with more to come. The mix for RYC opens with Lost, her new track which is going to be released on the next Nemorous Rec. very soon.

Reclaim Your City 169 | Stephanie Sykes (Manchester)
Stephanie Sykes has made quite a splash in the UK techno underground and beyond over the past few years. Born and raised in Germany but these days living in the UK, Sykes emerged with a pair of tracks for Dasha Rush's well-loved Fullpanda Records in 2014. She's gone on to take her unique style of darkly mesmerizing techno and evocative ambient to the labels VENT (her 'Black Simulation' EP was made even better by a remix from Rush) and Cenotaph, and she already has a handful of releases lined up for 2016, including remixes from Edit Select. Meanwhile, Sykes continues to draw praise for her formidable skills behind the decks. Along with Jaded, she holds a residency at Birmingham's legendary Atomic Jam night, and the calls for international gigs are only increasing. Look out for Sykes, as she keeps busy developing her singular production style, and pummeling more and more dance floors, in 2016.

Reclaim Your City 167 | Lewis Fautzi (Barcelos, Portugal)
Lewis Fautzi has a meteoric ascension in the world’s techno scene, like a projectile fired into space at the speed of light. In 2013, the same year as his first noteworthy edition in his birth country, Portugal (and from the start establishing the norm of always releasing on well-respected labels, Soniculture in this case), Fautzi started a lineage of releases on a classic label in techno´s history, Slam´s Soma Records. A year later, in 2014, it was time for his first album, an artistic step many in techno fear to take, “The Gare Album” (named after the club in Porto which has served as his creative impulse and launch platform for his career), on Soma as well.
By 2015, Lewis has in his log, 2 EP´s on Len Faki´s Figure, 2 works on Oscar Mulero´s Pole Group (an EP of originals remixed by Exium and Kwartz and a track on the Unknown Landscapes Vol.2 comp), with an added one on Warm-Up (Mulero taking care of 2 remixes), a collab with Pär Grindvik on his “baby” Faut Section, the same label where we get an Oscar Mulero EP with 2 Lewis Fautzi remixes. Crucially, he put out a 2nd album on Soma, “Space Exploration”, a conceptual work, as personal as it feels alien, where he displays his unsatiable thirst for musical knowledge and exploration, by broadening his horizons towards more ambient and experimental sound forms. He´s also provided interstellar tourism experiences, both as a DJ or as a live-act, at dancefloors like Tresor, Gare Porto, Lux Frágil and the “final frontier”, Berghain, amongst many other notable spaces.
No matter how many years a techno producer has been at it, he knows he´s doing something very right when, still early in his career, the “alien” Jeff Mills plays multiple productions of his in a single set. It´s the definitive seal of approval for what you are creating. But doesn´t seem at all fazed by the responsibility. The growing amplitude of his vision and maturity of his output, and the recognition of his peers, prove that. Lewis Fautzi´s explorations have just begun. Where will he take us next?

Reclaim Your City 166 | Eduardo De La Calle (Madrid)
Eduardo De La Calle’s status as one of today’s Techno most cutting edge producers and artists has gone hand in hand with his intellectual and spiritual journey: his more than 20 years commitment to making uncompromising music has also seen him embrace multi cultural readings and practice Bhakti yoga on a daily basis, undergoing a process of personal transformation and inner change.
Born in Madrid and raised in Cádiz in the Andalucía territory - widely recognised as the heartland of Flamenco - Eduardo was introduced to electronic music through acts like Sisters Of Mercy and New Order, and industrial groups like Neon Judgement and Sneak Corp. By the early ’90s, he was hooked on the exploding Techno scene. He opened his own record store and bought his first gear. Moving to Barcelona and Berlin were his next steps, until his latest relocation again in Spain.
The ongoing success of his vinyl-only label, Analog Solutions (Music & Films), and of its spin-offs Suprawax and Edits Rec., has seen him selling 12.000 records in 2 years in an Mp3 and brutal file-sharing dominated industry.
Releases on Minus 12, Semantica, Orbe, Modularz, Non Series, Be As One , Mule Musique and recently, Cadenza have further elevated his DJ profile, while his thought-provoking documentary Beatz - bit.ly/216l75N which has been premiered in London, featuring interviews with many artists who he has collaborated with like Laurent Garnier, Kenny Larkin and Derrick May.

Reclaim Your City 164 | Dimi Angélis (Amsterdam)
When considering his status as beloved and respected member of the contemporary Amsterdam techno scene, it’s sometimes easy to forget Dimi Angélis was among the founding members of the very culture that helped shape it. Promoting illegal raves and warehouse parties and putting his first needle on a record back when “underground” was still a definable term, Dimi now holds well over a decade of international DJ-ing experience. It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that this is directly reflected by his record collection, musical knowledge and technical ability which all easily match and in most cases surpass that of many.
Such an extensive frame of reference enables Dimi to look at “techno” through a unique and highly personal lens. Well aware of the genre’s fluid boundaries, ever changing trends and the impact of continually developing technology, Dimi is able to elegantly step outside of the pre-determined fabric and in a sense mould its essential elements into something that feels familiar but upon more careful observation, or rather listening, is actually quite special.
Putting personality and outspoken taste first, his DJ-sets are always remarkable and at no point predictable, more so because he does not believe in easy pleasing. Strongly opinionated and unafraid to speak on his thoughts, the records and flow incorporated in a Dimi Angélis set are equally straightforward and honest. What you see is in Dimi’s case really what you get, but it always comes wrapped in something appropriately unexpected.
In 2003 he joined forces with good friend Jeroen Search and together they have since launched multiple successful projects including outstanding live-acts “Counterpart” and “A&S Live” as well as their own newly founded vinyl only imprint, “A&S Records”. Under the first mentioned guise of Counterpart they are responsible for lauded EP’s such as “Ion” 01 and 02 on the sub-label of Rachmad’s Scorp of the same name, “Oxygenating” and “The Next Level” on Audiosculpture and “The Martian Mystique” on Jeff Mills’s Mission (6277/Axis). More recently they have put out characteristic, quality techno on their own A&S label, Balans, Stockholm LTD, M_Rec LTD, Smallville, Figure SPC and Traut Muzik as simply Dimi Angélis and Jeroen Search or A&S.
2014 sees the launch of ANGLS, Dimi’s first imprint, to release his own material. This will act as the platform where he can represent the throbbing, hypnotic sound of Dimi Angelis Dimi’s list of played clubs and festivals is nothing short of respectably long and includes Awakenings, Kozzmozz, Tresor, Rex, Berghain, Suicide Circus, Doornroosje, Paradiso, Dekmantel, Welcome to the Future, Free Your Mind, Rockit, Mysteryland, Club One, Stubnitz and even the late Innercity. Clearly deeming this list to be far from long enough however, Dimi’s set on doing in the future what he’s always done and still does best; play great techno, make you move your feet until they’re sore and give you a little something to smilingly contemplate

Reclaim Your City 161 | Chris Stanford (London)
'Chris Stanford' holds an amount respect in London having held residencies as a DJ at various venues in and around the city since 2005. But probably the most influential of those is happening right now at 'Corsica Studios' where he plays most Sunday morning/ afternoons for the legendary ‘Jaded' which is inspiring a generation of young Londoners.
Not just as a DJ, Chris has been pushing techno in London for a long time, it started with throwing parties, booking well known artists from across the world to play. Then his interests begun to sway more towards music production and label management, this happened around 2010, he had been the running EarToGround parties alongside 'Gareth Wild'. Meanwhile Chris met 'Dax J', already a talented producer having been making Drum & Bass previously, something that ETG guys all hold in common in fact is an early love for D&B, Jungle, Hardcore, UK Rave.
So Chris & Dax took their tracks to Gareth and EarToGround Records was born, the tracks they have done together have been remixed by the likes of ‘Truss', ‘Shifted', ‘AnD' and 'Ryan Elliott'. Now the label has grown a lot and continues to thrive with seventeen releases around five years. There is also a not so secret sub label VA project called ‘LDNwht’ that Chris, Gareth & Dax run together.
Theres also some other projects Chris works on by himself, he recently launched his new vinyl project 'Prodigal Son', with they first release by newcomer French producer ‘Exal' that he discovered via the well known ‘Blocaus' parties in Paris, with remixes by 'Inigo Kennedy' and 'Hector Oaks', illustrated artwork makes it a great start to the new imprint. As well as this Chris’s digital release only label Quant reaches its tenth release very soon and will celebrate doing so with a compilation including some artists already initiated and one that will be releasing EP’s in the not so distant future. This year there will also be some of the first Chris Stanford solo produced tracks, as everything so far has been a collaboration, work is in progress and eagurely awaited upon, one thing being certain is his commitment to good, forward thinking, techno.

Reclaim Your City 160 | Christian Wünsch (Santander)

Wünsch’s hardwork has earned him a position on the line ups of the best clubs and festivals all over the world, which also includes him as the first Spanish artist to perform in the mecca of techno, Detroit.

Reclaim Your City 159 | Stefan Vincent (Amsterdam)
Arguing that it’s about time for Stefan Vincent to step out of the limelight is understating matters. After all, if you’re able to count the heads of some of Holland’s finest labels, including Balans and Dynamic Reflection, and the likes of Laurent Garnier, ROD and Dimi Angélis among your fans, you’ve obviously been doing something right.
His relative anonimity isn’t something that troubles the Amsterdam-based producer and live-act however. More than willing to invest time (the man literally lives in his studio), Stefan has little love for a rushed approach. His path, unlike that of many, hasn’t lead from playing records to eventually taking on music production. Instead, after discovering work by personal inspirations like Rachmad, Surgeon and Mills, Stefan put his own creativity to work.
Now, with a good amount of solid techno releases under his belt, the urge to translate his music to a live audience has followed. Again however, those expecting thought-out predictability are likely to be disappointed. In a sense Stefan’s live-act, consisting of only his own material, is a sneak peek into his studio. A highly danceable one that is, with ample room deliberately left open for live, on the spot re-interpretation.
So far Stefan’s career has seen him play certainly not the least of venues, including Doornroosje, Paradigm, Simplon and HAL 16. His release schedule does its own equally impressive name-dropping. Included on the list are Dynamic Reflection, Manual and soon Darko Esser’s Balans is set to follow.

Reclaim Your City 158 | KAFKA (Vancouver)
KAFKA is Vancouver based electronic musician, DJ, and promoter Richard Duggan. Richard has been writing and producing under various aliases since the early 1990’s, with KAFKA taking shape in late 2013. Since then he has become a key player in Vancouver’s underground techno community. Both his live and DJ sets are focused on the larger conceptual journey, often slow to draw you in, offering listeners an expansive soundtrack that explore the darker depths of techno and experimental electronic music. KAFKA has released on Concrete Records, Subspec Music, as well as his own Body Politic Recordings, a label he runs with Trevor Jacobson from The Automatic Message - both of which were recently featured on Reclaim Your City’s third vinyl release, RYCL003 (Dnepr_Vancouver 1.0).

Reclaim Your City 155 | Tempre (Berlin)
Tempre is a new project hailing from Berlin with a penchant for subtly distorted basslines and an approach to techno rooted more in rock music than the electronic variety. Thus far remaining somewhat tight-lipped about his identity, announcements of forthcoming I/Y and Krill Music releases as well as a recent remix on Krill’s Remix Series definitely attracts attention.

Reclaim Your City 154 | Radial (Rotterdam)
Radial is the techno moniker of Jeroen Liebregts from The Netherlands. Jeroen has been dj'ing since around '98 and picked up music production soon after. Since 2002 Jeroen teamed up with Bas Mooy and started the label Audio Assault as a platform for their own work and that of artists whose work they admire. About a year later sublabel Arms was born. In 2014 his own brand new imprint Radial Records sees the light of day with the release of Crux, the second full length Radial album.
Always driven to dive deeper Jeroen started a 4-year studies of Sonology at the Conservatory in The Hague, which he finished in 2006. This study deals with electronic music composition, computer programming, analog synthesis and electronic instrument design among other things. This is probably what kickstarted his interest to use self designed instruments in his music. The constant quest for new technological approaches is an imported factor that helped shape his sound. His current tendency toward analog hardware based methods also resulted in his involvement in the design and development of the Synton Fenix modular synthesizer.
Over the years the music of Jeroen Liebregts has found it's way to many places using different aliases. There have been releases of original tracks and remixes on labels such as Token, Perc Trax, Mote-Evolver, Numb, Drumcode, Planet Rhythm, Dole-Gate and most recently Mord and Soweso.

Reclaim Your City 152 | Madalba (Berlin)
Madalba was born in July 1985 in Bari, Italy. From a very young age, her interest in different musical cultures such as house and dance music and also spread through rock and punk which eventually lead to techno and clubculture. At age 22 she approached the local scene as Djane with numerous performances in the club circuit of Bari. Through the years she has developed a continued and careful respect of the musical experience. She moved to Berlin and started DJing with only vinyl records. This helped build her strong reputation as an underground techno DJ and provided opportunity for her to play in several clubs of the city.
In September 2011, she moved to Detroit where she discovered some of the scenes most well known clubs like as The Works, Exodus and several others across the state in collaboration with DJ Seoul and Tom Linder of Detroit Techno Militia. This travel has definitely and radically changed her approach to the techno concept, which she considers more a social phenomenon and a lifestyle rather than just a musical genre.
In January 2012 she became resident of the party Homopatik at about blank. Her first releases are available on vinyl on Arkita Rec (Berlin), the label that she spawned in 2014 together with Synkopheit.

Reclaim Your City 151 | Rebekah (Berlin)
Rebekah capture’s and share’s her energy through her DJ sets, this can also be found within the studio where she expresses herself using concepts, feelings, moods, art and anything else that inspires her on a deep level, always aiming to create fresh music with a modern feel.
The emphasis will always be techno which has been inspired from her early teens by growing up in Birmingham UK and being exposed to almighty parties such as Atomic Jam and House of God which held long standing parties within the city. Inspired by Dave Clarke, Derrick Carter, Richie Hawtin and Billy Nasty in those early days gave Rebekah a true insight to 90’s UK techno with a good measure of jackin’ Chicago thrown in!
The past few years has seen the rapid rise of Rebekah’s profile by showcasing her own style of modern techno, which has been accepted by her peers as well as techno fans around the world. This reflection of the studio work and passion fueled sets has lead to a busy schedule of gigs. Playing at established venues, parties and festivals such as Berghain, Tresor, Cocorico, Fabric, Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Studio 80 to name a few.
A CLR artist, Rebekah has already been accepted into Chris Liebing’s fold, and found her place by mixing a compilation using the back catalogue of CLR music under the Reconnected Series as well as her first EP on this influential label. Cycles came out in 2013 stamping her signature tough techno sound within CLR. She is also a regular feature at the CLR parties around the World. Summer 2014 will see the launch of CLR’s first full mix compilation, which Rebekah has been asked to kick off. This will feature CLR tracks as well as a selection of music from other labels and 8 exclusive tracks from various artists to make up the compilation. A second EP is also due towards the end of 2014.
The dynamic nature of Rebekah’s musical influence is featured on her second release due out on Cult Figures, showcasing more of an underground feel, also with releases on Coincidence Records capturing a deeper and more soulful side to her productions, and highlighting the varying moods and ideas with which Rebekah can create with.
Choosing to work on original music predominantly, remixes are far and few between, choosing tracks on the basis of their sound selections and design, in June 2014 a remix is out on Sleaze for Hans Bouffmyhre, the EP consists of his previous album tracks lovingly remixed by Oscar Mulero, Girgio Gigli, Rebekah and Hans himself. This remix will also be followed by a full release on Sleaze in October.
Armed with a full release schedule and a packed tour diary, the future is definitely bright for this little lady of Techno. Anyone that has seen her play out live knows first hand that there are no gimmicks or clichés about this Producer/DJ, just unadulterated raw talent and a passion for the music she plays and creates.

Reclaim Your City 150 | Joey Beltram (New York/Berlin)
For over the last 20+ years, Joey Beltram is considered one of the pioneers and a legendary producer of Techno and House. He has recorded on many of the biggest labels of the early 90's such as Nu-Groove, Tresor, Warp, Transmat, and R&S records. Much of his music during that time is widely acknowledged as groundbreaking. Beltram has also been heralded as a major influence by many of todays DJ's and producers including Daft Punk (as mentioned in their song "Teachers").

Reclaim Your City 149 | Joachim Spieth (Berlin)
When Joachim Spieth asked me to write his biography, I knew I would have to be a bit creative in order to write something different. You see when writing a biography, there are things you have to speak about, even though you know it has been said many times, and you fear it will end up looking like any other biography, with the usual and righteous amount of name droppings.
For instance, I couldn’t avoid saying that Joachim Spieth has released a numerous amount of records, on labels as renowned and diverse as Michael Mayer’s Kompakt, Traum Schallplatten, or Paso Music to name only few. And that some of those releases, such as « Under Pressure » have been, and are still hits. How could I pass on the fact that some of his compositions have been charted by Martin Gore and Sven Väth, played by Juan Atkins and Derrick May, licensed by The Orb or remixed by Rolando? And I couldn’t possibly forget the label Affin he has successfully been running for seven years, with 150 releases added to its catalogue.
I also had to mention that he has been involved in the electronic music scene for the past fifteen years; that he used to play in a band as a teenager. I had to name the clubs in which he has played during the last decade. Tresor Berlin, Tunnel, Culture Box or Hive Zurich being his regular meeting points with the crowd.
But I did not really want to speak about all of the above. Because what matters at the end is who he is, what he wants to express by producing music and what he has been giving to the scene. Being a shy character, he is not the type of person searching for the spotlight but someone that is evolving on the scene by pure passion, and wants to communicate this passion to the others. He created his label Affin to be as independent as possible and focus on discovering new talents.
But most importantly, what Joachim Spieth does not put into words, is translated into sounds. Deep, solemn and at times enraged, his productions represents Techno in its purest expression. They are made to occupy our dying cathedrals of concrete, to crush the reality of our everyday life under an assumed individuality. The elaborated basses and the echoing melodies grab our minds to throw them in a far away world, leaving the silence of a doomed society behind.

Reclaim Your City 148 | Akmê (Berlin)
"Born and raised in the suburbs of Potsdam, Akmê first developed his penchant for electronic music in the middle of the 2000s. He soon found a home and outlet for his musical exploits at Spartacus Potsdam, a club which helped shape him both musically as well as socially. Having organised numerous events and sampling all of the delights suburbia had to offer, he was drawn to the bustling metropole of neighbouring Berlin. Here he quickly attained a foothold in the music scene at ://about blank; a move which blossomed into a residency in 2014. Akmê's sets are known for their diversity, they are profound improvisational odysseys which explore deep planes of emotions. Though if there is one thing they achieve above all else, it is that they will make you move. Simply put: Techno with groove."

Reclaim Your City 146 | Ayarcana (Rome)
The fact that Italy is home to an almost disconcerting amount of techno heads is no secret. Still, we’re having a really hard time explaining the origin of the unprecedented rawness Ayarcana floods the scene with lately, let alone classifying it.
Every single one of his releases bears witness to his deference to the power of cacophonic stomp music. Check out: ‘Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me’ on VAR1000/V.A., his recent take on Ansome’s ‘Kenneggy’ on Pls.Uk and Disease Control EP on Dutch label Obscuur.

Reclaim Your City 141 | As Patria (Paris)
As Patria, archaic heaven, is the home from which the soul is exiled while on earth. An unknown place where everything become numb and pointless. Where the ancestry and the descent become one."

Reclaim Your City 140 | Yves de Mey (Antwerp)
Yves De Mey's musical path consists of many different roads. During the second half of the 90's, his releases were clearly rooted in breakbeats and UK drum'n'bass. Soon after that, through working for theater and dance performances and doing large scale sound installations, his interest in experimental sound design found its way into his music.
In 2009 his album "Lichtung" was released by the influential Line label. Around that time, De Mey's main tool in the studio became his ever-expanding modular synthesizer system. This definitely changed his way of working and obviously his sound as well, shifting from an elaborate niftiness in the digital realm to an obsessive cable-patched shaping of the real sound of electricity.
In 2011, Sandwell District found the time right to widen their dance-floor techno-scope and released De Mey's Counting Triggers, a 6-track album that interprets club music in a downtempo electrified fashion. 2013 was an extremely busy year with remix duties on SonuoS, and releases on Modal Analysis, Opal Tapes, Archives Intérieures and others.
In 2014 he released a critically acclaimed EP on Semantica and a somewhat straightforward dance floor EP on Inner Surface Music under his new alias Grey Branches. In the coming months he will release a full album on Spectrum Spools and a full album as Grey Branches, and a couple of remixes as well.
Yves De Mey also works together with Peter Van Hoesen as Sendai, and they both run Archives Intérieures, a label for challenging and sophisticated electronic music.

Reclaim Your City 139 | Mark Broom (Norfolk, UK)
A truly prolific artist, he has a myriad of production credits to his name having worked with world renowned labels such as Mo-Wax, Warp, R&S, Bek Audio, Ifach (with Baby Ford), Bpitch Control, NON Series, M-Plant, Material and his own label Beard Man.
It all started in the summer of '89 when he landed in Tenerife on vacation and stumbled across the delights of the emerging sounds of Chicago and Acid House. Returning to the UK, he immediately went in search of this new found music. A pair of turntables were bought and with it a musical career was born.
Mark has had a string of high class releases over the last 12 months, highlights being the Borders EP with Gary Beck & the Attitude EP for NON Series, forthcoming material will include releases on Beard Man, Blueprint, & Skam Records as 'The Fear Ratio' with James Ruskin!

Reclaim Your City 138 | Shlømo (Paris)
Shlømo is the alter ego of Shaun Baron-Carvais. 28 years old Producer, Parisian and disappointed spaceman. He is also co-owner of Taapion Records, together with AWB & PVNV. Being always interested in music, his project started with electronica before adding melodies, layers and raw rythms. Shlømo is not the kind of artist that you will see every weekend in several cool venues. Shy and introvert, he spends more time on his computer and machines than he speaks to people. That’s one of the reasons why he decided to create his own imprint with two friends. Some strong goods and remixes will be released before 2016. Speaking of which, we can already announce an EP on Delsin, Singular, Wolfskuil and Bright Sounds. Good to know he’s also working on his album as we speak.

Reclaim Your City 133 | Moving Thoughts (Utrecht)
Driven by their shared passion for electronic music, their love for the nerdy-side of sound-synthesis and the fun they had making music together, early 2012 marked the beginning of the musical cooperation of Kaj Tyszka & Michiel Steennis as Moving Thoughts. Slowly and gradually, filling a live set in order to eventually share their passion with an audience became a goal to work towards for both. Tyszka and Steennis strongly feel that the growth of their passion and dedication to Moving Thoughts is exponentially related to the ongoing process of gaining knowledge in the field of sound-synthesis and mixing techniques, in which they are welcoming support from everyone.
When it comes to the artistic interpretation of their project, both Steennis and Tyszka share a distinctive but like-minded view on the direction Moving Thoughts should start - or maybe say continue – following. In their own words, Moving Thoughts is and will remain to be about music as a means of transmitting feelings and moving people primarily. They also both mention the sheer importance of the ‘fun-factor’ of music production and friendship, which shapes the solid base their project is built upon.
October 2013 marks the release of their maiden EP dubbed ‘Brainfunction EP’ on the Rotterdam-based label ‘DNA_rec’ and their debut in one of Rotterdam’s finest clubs, Perron. The laying of the first cornerstone has been done. In May 2014 their second EP was released on the Greek Modular Expansion Records with wonderful remixes by Dave Miller, Invite and label head George Apergis & Alex Retsis. In 2014 their release on the infamous Dynamic Reflection imprint was received well and their contribution to the infamous Invite’s Choice Podcast was released, but there still is more to come; 2015 will mark a release on Invite’s Choice Records (Vinyl).

Reclaim Your City 132 | Marcus (Berlin)
Marcus, aka Marco de Paulis, is a Roman DJ who has been based in Berlin for a few years. Born and raised in Rome, he had his first approach to electronic music when he was very young, when he started going out to the clubs and illegal parties of the Italian capital. His sound was shaped by the Techno myths from Detroit and the UK, which are still influencing him today, and even now he is pursuing costant evolution. Techno, for him, means more than just music. It's more than sounds, it's more than noises - Techno is a statement of love and a way of life; Techno is the energy of every day; Techno is technology but also his voice when he plays. Going against mainstream and music trends, he believes in the true spirit of music- using it as a voice of riot; believing in the Music connections; fighting against the standard canons and the music business, which is ruining the real soul and essence of this music.

Reclaim Your City 128 | Mod21 (Satriano)
Mod21 is the project of Manuele Chiaravalloti, an italian electronic music producer and experimental sound artist. Born in Satriano, Italy, his musical journey began in 2007 when he moved to Switzerland. Here, after 7 years of musical research, produces his first two works released on the Munich based label Prologue. His music emerges from a deep and rich imagination which flows into sounds dark and slippery that seem to be born in the bowels of a parallel world to ours. Browsing increasingly abstract concepts of sound, carefully processed , the result is a particular footprint easily recognizable.

Reclaim Your City 127 | Samuli Kemppi (Helsinki)
Samuli Kemppi comes from a small city in Finland, but geographical distance hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of Europe’s leading techno producers. However, as he recalls, life in the frozen north always presented some cultural difficulties.
Kemppi believes that his decision to release on a range of labels is down to his willingness to experiment in the studio. “Some producers have many aliases, I feel more comfortable like this and I always try a lot of new things when writing tracks. It wouldn’t make sense to be just on one label since they all have their own music policies – and so much music would stay unheard if I didn’t release on so many labels,” he says, adding that “being up here far away from centre of things, I need to connect on some level”. That said, there is enough activity in Helsinki to keep Samuli busy. Although the scene is relatively small and underground, he says that there are a few excellent venues with amazing sound systems and “the crowd is really good: on a good night, I wouldn’t change it for anything else”.
Then there’s the matter of Samuli’s Deep Space Helsinki project. Initially it was the name for his radio show on Basso Radio with old friend Juho Kusti. DSH is also the name Samuli and Juho give for the parties they have been throwing in Helsinki for the past few years. “Nobody was bringing over artists that we liked, so we decided to start bringing them over ourselves – the line ups define our Deep Space Helsinki sound. We want to have a good party with music that we love and give people a deeper option,” he explains. The final part in the DSH jigsaw is the fledgling label; having released on a range of labels, Samuli has started his own with Juho. To date, there have been two releases, split between Kemppi and Kusti. Samuli explains: “I started talking about DSH with Juho a couple of years ago. He did some amazing tracks. It gives us total freedom to put out whatever we want and full control. We are taking it quite easy and we’re putting out 2 releases a year.”
In between these activities, Samuli also balances a family life and work and continues to put out releases, remixes and his debut album. “I’ve done a lot of releases and remixes during past couple years out, but I now it is the time for my debut album. The testing and trying is done. Album should hit the stores in October this year” As anyone who has heard his incendiary live performances will agree, the time is right for Samuli Kemppi to take the next step.

Reclaim Your City 126 | The Automatic Message (Vancouver)
Vancouver-based Trevor Jacobson and Tanya Goehring are The Automatic Message. Together they have built a strong portfolio of dark, narrative based audiovisuals. Since forming The Automatic Message in 2006, Trevor and Tanya have been producing avant-guard, off-kilter techno and supporting it with their own visual interpretations, which, in line with their music, creates a tremendous sense of unease and tension. They work closely with the From 0-1 label whose team spans from Vancouver, Seattle to the Bay Area. The Automatic Message's music has been charted by such great names as Speedy J, Joey Beltram, Dave Clarke and Ben Klock.
CLR label boss Chris Liebing brought them onboard to create, produce and direct four videos for the label’s release schedule with Black Asteroid’s “Engine 1”, Tommy Four Seven’s “G”, Drumcell’s “Disturbance” and Drumcell’s “Speak Silence”. The videos they created for Tommy Four Seven and Drumcell were selected for screening at the Antimatter Festival in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Disturbance was also nominated for a 2014 Berlin Music Video Award. Furthering their love for the art of music videos, Trevor and Tanya are the founders and curators of the annual RENDER: Vancouver's International Music Video Festival.

Reclaim Your City 124 | Tunnel (Chicago)
Tunnel is an outlier within the techno scene, exclusively performing his own original material and that of his label, Webuildmachines. With an emphasis on unconventional sound design, Tunnel is best described as a sound sculptor working within the genre of Techno. His compositional forms combine elements of sub bass, broken rhythms, and melodic abstractions into a sonic tapestry, existing somewhere between fervor and seance, chaos and artistry.
Based in Chicago, inspired by the echoes of Detroit, Tunnel launched his record label, webuildmachines, in 2013. His steady output of releases over the last several years have garnered high praise and charted recognition from big players within the electronic music community – Dave Clarke, Surgeon, Ben Sims, Paula Temple, Tommy Four Seven, Drumcell, and Claude Young Jr., to name but a few. Tunnel will continue to search for new sounds and structures, getting deeper into the journey. “Through darkness, towards the light within.”

Reclaim Your City 119 | Birth Of Frequency (Paris)
Simon – aka Birth Of Frequency – started to get interested in Electronic music, more specifically in Techno music, relatively lately, in 2003. He immediately felt attracted by the spirit, the vision and the ideas broadcasted by Techno music, especially that of Detroit, with the UR entity. He kept on enjoying this concept of “relaying a message” trough music, whether “electronic” or not. He has been fascinated by the repetitiveness of rhythmic and melodies. He likes the comparison between that repetitiveness and the life that we live. In his opinion, life is like a perpetual renewal to which we can add our ideas and our vision, in order to move forward. It is impossible for him to dissociate music from his life. The two of them are interactively connected. His daily life influences him as much as the music he is listening to. His sources of inspiration may come from both happy and sad experiences. He always has them in mind before starting new productions.
What is looking for today is a peculiar and personal sound texture. He wants it to be as close as possible to his mindset, to the way he wants to transmit things. Birth Of Frequency is never stuck on a specific musical type, but always strives to stay coherent. His goal is to produce different styles (House, Tub, Deep Techno, and so on) because he loves electronic music as a whole. Every single style has its own specificities and permits to express things in many different ways.
In 2012, Birth Of Frequency released his first EP, called Another World Speaks To Us, on the Vinyl Kill Mp3 label, including a remix of Zadig. After that, he got in touch with the Construct Re-Form label, for which he signed for the 4th release of the label – Remind EP with a remix of Antigone – and with the label Nowhere, “Techno” division of Syncrophone, for which he signed for the first release, called 1937 Memories. He has always been paying much attention to the criticisms made by the representatives of Construct Re-Form and Syncrophone. He asks for their opinion on almost everything he does.
New projects should come soon. Birth Of Frequency is working on an EP for Construct Re-Form that is likely to be completely different from the first one. Moreover, he would like to release another EP for Nowhere. Last but not least, he has plans for other labels on which he prefers to stay discrete for the moment.

Reclaim Your City 117 | Yan Cook (Kiev)
Yan was born in Kiev, Ukraine, 1991. At the age of sixteen he was introduced to electronic music, more specifically Techno and his love for it was instantaneous! The rest is history and meanwhile the Ukrainian has performed alongside many of the most respected techno talents from around the globe and collaborated with a number of people in the past, as well as working under different aliases, he is now focusing on his own fully distinguished style which is immediately recognizable from the first seconds of a track: heavy and sometimes smooth dancefloor techno with haunting atmospheres and striking basslines.
With a string of releases under his belt on some higly respected labels such as Delsin Records, Dynamic Reflection, Silent Steps and Planet Rhythm, he is definitely a force to be reckoned with and his signature tracks are definitely leaving a long lasting impression with his audience.

Reclaim Your City 116 | Voiski (Paris)
For several years, Voiski has struck a singular path in techno music, oscillating between experimental projects and the production of tracks marked by his signature style. Within the large spectrum of his interventions, Voiski stands out for rigor of his infinitely repetitive loops. These, combined with acerbic drum beats, construct an analog excitation that carries his music to the heart of futurist and sentimental layerings. From his proximity to the intriguing electrodance duo Kartei to the experimental label Silicate Musique which he codirects, the amplitude of his activity bears witness to the authenticity of his engagement, one which reconciles the demands of dance floor techno with the construction of an introspective vision.
An insatiable producer, he has already produced several important titles which one can still hear resonating both in Europe and in the United States. His work can be found on several labels, including, Construct-Reform (Paris), Wt Records and L.I.E.S. (New York).

Reclaim Your City 114 | Dr. Rubinstein (Berlin)
This young lady can really take the audience by storm. She is not only a real cheerful person, behind the decks, she dances mostly with a big smile on her face. Some of her already existing groupies call her Acid Queen.
Dr. Rubinstein plays regularly at the amazing Moments events in both Humboldthain club and ://About Blank Berlin. Also recently she made her debut at the infamous Berghain and Stattbad Wedding and played alongside artists like Adam X, Marcel Dettmann, Etapp Kyle, Dino Sabatini, I/Y and Blind Observatory to name a few.
Her performance on Reclaim Your City will give you a good idea of why it is fast becoming the best Berlin remedy against the Winterdepression.

Reclaim Your City 112 | Andre Kronert (Güstrow)
Analogue warmth meets raw energy: This furious mixture made Andre Kronert a synonym for powerful and high-octane club sound, as a DJ as well as a producer. Since 1994 the head honcho of Odd/Even, Night Drive Music, 3rd Wave Music and Neurotron Music has set on fire countless parties and festivals, proving himself to be a major reason for escalating atmospheres and bursting dance floors from Dubai to Georgia.
In his productions Andre Kronert performs a mesmerizing balancing act between two worlds. On the one side, there is the raw energy and explosive power of his ecstatic, repetitive rhythms. On the other side his style is characterized by subtle build-ups, filigree sound textures and the warmth of analogue synthesis. For a good reason, since Andre Kronert has been an avid vinyl lover since he started DJing 15 years ago. During his live performances he exclusively relies on his beloved music machinery which includes no laptop. However, he does not regard himself to be a moralizer for the analogue movement: In the end, it’s all about fun!
His prime-time compatible music has been released on labels like WAD (Without Any Doubt), Stockholm Limited, Pets Recordings or ODD EVEN. The live act of Andre Kronert could already be heard in many different countries, using his civic name or presenting secret projects he already played at Berghain, at Panorma Bar, Rex Club in Paris or at Fusion Festival, to name a few. The track “Salzwasserliebe” made it into the preshow of Depeche Mode at the “Tour Of the Universe” and got played on more than 150 concerts in front of 60000 people. His thirst for new enterprises frequently reaches hyperactive dimensions and is the driving force behind his labels Odd/Even, 3rd Wave Music or Neurotron Music. So there’s a very good change that we’ll hear even more from Andre Kronert in the near future!

Reclaim Your City 109 | Mogano (Berlin)
Mogano is the moniker of electronic music producer and imprint founder Marco Berardi. The name ”mahogany” re-calls both the percussive and string infused nature of his music as well as his profound fascination for ancient musical practices and nature as a source of knowledge.
In his youth, Marco was a guitarist involved with a variety of musical projects, around 2010 he began to perform in clubs as a DJ. Making his way in the Dub and Techno scene, he then formed a synergy with visual artist Andrea Familari Fax and sound designer Drøp (Giuseppe Bifulco), both of whom are now part of the Arboretum imprint. Arboretum has become their cooperative platform for Audio/Video experimentation as well as a record label. Since 2012 the project is based and active in Berlin and has been involved in a remarkable framework of concepts such as Contort (NewCodes Berlin Atonal), CTM Transmediale Vorspiel, Undogmatisch and many others.

Reclaim Your City 104 | Teste (Hamilton)
Drawing upon aspects of confrontational, isolationist industrial from the 90's private cassette-trading underground, the Teste project's limited output encompasses a transition from the ingrained 90’s techno formulae towards more abstract sound design and approaches in the medium. An approach that fits more with the current wave than 20 years ago. Following a resurgence in appearances of 'the Wipe' in major DJ sets and All-Time lists in recent times, original members Huren and Thomas return to the techno format in 2014. A cycle of re-wipes from Edit Select and upcoming new productions. With one single live performance in 2014 at Stattbad in Berlin, a testimonial declaration of their performance philosophy. Expect more in 2015.

Reclaim Your City 103 | Sleeparchive
Very rare podcast. What this man put together is something special, as Brewer has elected to deliver a sort of mixtape, one that largely eschews club-ready sonics for sounds that are more ambient and introspective. This session will glide you through pensive soundscapes, patches of noise, and soaring melodies. When A Clash of Ideals comes to a close, there's little question that the listener has just completed a rich musical journey from somebody how's a true Techno hero.But it all starts here..

Reclaim Your City 100 | Edit Select (Glasgow)
Tony Scott, DJ and producer as Edit Select, Tony has been producing electronic music since the early nineties under various pseudonyms, but with Edit Select he has found his forte. His No Nonsense approach to production and editing has gained him a reputation of being a perfectionist.
A very healthy back catalogue that includes the classic Bauer, The Sliotar, Surface To Air and forthcoming his Debut Lp Phlox on Prologue in 2014. With remixes of VCMG, Speedy J, DaDub, Chris Liebing, Mark Broom under his belt and collabs with friend Dino Sabatini, Markus Suckut, Giorgio Gigli, to be released 2014 this promises to be a pivotal time in his musical career .
As a dj he admits to being very inspired by Andrew Weatherall and Dimitri from Amsterdam back in the beginning of the whole techno – E club environment, (for me you have to make a connection with the people when you play.. a good friend described a moment in Berghain when I was playing as it felt like being Home..)
Tony’s Dj calendar for 2014 is healthier than ever, touring Japan, Berlin, Zurich, Munich, Paris and many more, promises to kick start his career after what he calls a midlife crisis that occurred just as things were in order in 2009.

Reclaim Your City 099 | Dj Datch (Alghero, Sardinia)
Due to the desire to escape, and a vague sense of inner awe filled exclusively by music, Dj Datch started getting closer to the world of clubbing. At first he was inspired to explore the different types of electronic music although passion leads him to a broader evolutionary path. He also started playing in the most important clubs of his native land, Sardinia. His performances began to take an intense musical form of personal communication with the obsessive use of drums, almost like stabbings, in a progressive growth up to mesmerize the listener : explosion then restart.
Next step is outside Italy, turning a utopia into reality: Tresor Club in Berlin. DJ Datch found a context of sound research, find a chemistry that makes developing a personal style characterized by techno sounds, dark and hypnotic in combination with hints of experimental dub. Meanwhile, driven by his desire to share his perception and vision of music, he founded, along with his brother, the web magazine Aremun.Com which becomes a focal point for the community involved in electronic music.
In order to complete this journey DJ Datch experiences his first productions in 2011, focusing his energies into his dark style. Over the years, his music has been published on various labels including Attic Music, Natch Records, Att Series, Subsist, Par Recordings.

Reclaim Your City 098 | Patrik Skoog (Berlin)
Patrik started out mid 90s at an early age attempting to make electronic industrial and punk with two friends; the guys were taping samples off of VHS and programming beats on Ataris and Emax samplers before releasing the first techno record just three years later under their collaboratory name Headroom.
Skoog is likely to be one of the more deserving producers to be titled veteran with well over 100 discursive vinyl releases stacked in his favour since that time. Over the course of the late 90s and next decade, Headroom and Patrik’s solo careers progressed in tandem, chalking up significant releases for labels like Synewave NY, Drumcode, and Planet Rhythm along the way. After eight years roaming techno’s harder perimeters, in 2005 he embarked on deeper minimal and house trajectories as Agaric, launching the We Are umbrella to house them all. More family than roster, and more collective than record label, We Are has since blossomed into an eclectic club-oriented stable, with the introduction of the 10” coloured vinyl series drawing a rich spread of artists.
Now Patrik has come full circle, reverting back to his own name to probe anew the classic techno avenues that first inspired it all and releases the full length debut double album "Exit Earth" released on the UK label Third Ear. Furthermore in 2014 his new vinyl-only label "Sample & Hold" is ready to be launched and distributed via Rush Hour in the fall.

Reclaim Your City 095 | Charlton (Rotterdam)
Charlton was born in 1982 in Rotterdam (Netherlands). At the age of 17 he began chasing the early rave parties which were happening all over Holland and around 1999 his love for electronic music turned into an obsession and he started DJing. It was around this time that Charlton first came face to face with techno.
He started producing and building up his unique sound in 2001. Boosted by the Electronic Music Productions study he took at one of Holland’s best known music production colleges, he started putting his work together for his first live PA, which debuted in 2004.
Charlton’s inventive style of producing tracks back then combined techno from “the old days” with his own dark off-beat rhythms. Adding nasty razor-sharp and hypnotizing acid basslines to this creating a truly unique, ‘Charlton’ sound which had a great impact on Dutch techno scene. He was soon playing all over the place with with gigs and residencies across Holland and has since then played at various cutting-edge parties such as Awakenings, Heroes of Techno, Q base, Detatched etc.
Moving to London gave Charlton New experience and a clearer point of view to understand the essence of techno music.Charlton’s tracks have been released on labels such as, Audio Assault, Arms, Labrynth, Aftertaste Pohjola, Krill music, and Mord. His first ever EP “Slowdown Basterd” received top when it came out in August 2010 on M_Rec. Moreover, ”Black Slong” has been featured on Norman Nodge’s Berghain 06 compilation.

Reclaim Your City 090 | Brendon Moeller (New York)
When it comes to post-Basic Channel dub techno, Brendon Moeller is one of the go-to guys. Since leaving his native South Africa for New York City in 1993, the dub technician has been proudly laying down his musical legacy on labels like Astralwerks, Mule Musiq and Six Degrees Records; working with revered vocalists like Paul St. Hilaire, Mikey Dread and Mutabaruka and fomenting relationships with scene institutions like fabric, Berghain and François K.
As a consequence, the dub landscape has been forever changing at his hands: sometimes under his own name, sometimes as Beat Pharmacy (almost exclusively on François K’s Wave Music) and sometimes as Echologist, he is behind seven full length albums to-date, each of which has breached the musical boundaries of what went before. Taking cues from jazz, techno, dub, afrobeat and psychedelia, Moeller’s aims are simple…
“My goal is, first and foremost, to create timeless, quality music that resonates with people from all walks of life. I want to evolve musically. I want to be able to continue making music and support my family with it... and if all goes well, would love to make enough money to purchase all my time favourite analogue synthesizers.”
Listen to his music – or that which his label, Steadfast, has so studiously released since 2009 – and you’ll understand that Moeller’s music has a knack for making you think whilst you inescapably give yourself over to its infectious grooves, and his most recent Ecologist album only confirms that: Subterranean is a deeply experimental record that explores a throbbing, swollen underworld of subconscious sounds which, in its conceptual referencing of everything from shoze-gaze to ambient to rock, marks Moeller out as an essential pillar of not only the dub techno community, but of the electronic music world as a whole.
For his ninth album on Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe imprint we see Brendon compile an album of deep driving techno with possibly the strongest dancefloor sensibility of any of his previous albums. Production-wise the album reflects the work of somebody who’s been unrelenting in the pursuit to become as good as he can possibly be at this.
In 2013 Brendon will be releasing EP’s as Echologist on Prologue and M-Rec, as beat Pharmacy on Soulpeoplemusic and Throne of Blood. A collaborative project called The Watchers (feat. himself & Speedy j) has also just been released on his own label. He is also currently working on the follow up album to his acclaimed Echologist album Subterranean.

Reclaim Your City 089 | Zadig (Paris)
Zadig is sometimes presented as a Paris music scene old stager. This is not completely true. Even if his first contacts with electronic music date from the early 90s, it is not until 2009 and his first release on the label Plastic Rec that his talent as a producer finally emerged. The signing to Syncrophage in 2010 and the creation of his own label Construct Re-Form in 2011 completed this unveiling process. From now on, Zadig is recognized as a talented and shrewd label manager. Although contacted by prestigious clubs such as Berghain, Rex or Concrete he remains attached to underground culture and to a vision of the music industry based on friendship and solidarity.
His atypical trajectory is above all a story of encounters. Zadig gets into the rave scene in the 90s. He makes his place rapidly into this growing community and stands out as an unavoidable. Figure of the Norman scene. But five years of mixing Indus, Hardcore or Acid music finally gave him an oppressive Sense of being closed in. Moreover, he no longer identifies with this environment and decides to turn to Techno, a much more basic but also wider style of music. Highly influenced by Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram, Surgeon or the labels Synewave, Lost or Tresor, Sylvain is at a turning point in his career. He then moves to Paris and holds various odd jobs.
It is by working at Matos DJ Store , the famous Bastille music store that he meets Mathieu Berthet an independent sound engineer, a record distributor and an expert in electronic music. This encounter turns into a friendship and Zadig regains interest in creating music. He then takes a risk, gets into debt and creates his own home studio with a Juno 106 synthesizer, the TR-808 and TR-909 Rhythm Composers etc…
Mathieu Berthet also enables him to be introduced to the label Plastic Rec for the release of his first Detroit-oriented single ‘‘Vision’’. Zadig makes a distribution deal with Syncrophone. That’s the beginning of a nice story with the Record store which releases Dark Nebula in 2010. This record is considered as his first important step in terms of production and enables him to sign with Sino (Technasia’s label). The maxi P.8 takes his career to a new level by offering him international visibilty. Meanwhile, he makes friends with major figures of the Techno and House Parisian music scene such as John Thomas and Dj Deep Didier Allyne. This is in fact with the latter’s label, Deeply Rooted House, that he has just signed his latest maxi “TTRXL”. Thanks to these encounters and the experience he has gained, Zadig then starts Construct Re-Form, a label on a human scale which was initially created to release his own productions. In 2010, he collaborates with S3A and is playlisted by Marcel Dettman on Friendship Connection (Paname Recordz). This significant success had given him a solid basis to develop his own label.
Construct Re-Form almost immediately welcomes 3 talented DJs known as Antigone, Voiski and Birth of Frequency. Zadig then becomes an astute label manager who provides technical advice and, perhaps most importantly, human support to his three protégés. Considering the recent results of the label and its growing recognition, this formula works wonders. It is a relief for Zadig who starts new projects such as Ars Mechanica, a label influenced by spatial and dreamlike atmospheres in the footsteps of Johannes Volk with Exploration Record. This reasonable approach of taking risk is necessary for Zadig who also likes to put himself in danger on stage where he favours live performance to DJ Sets. This philosophy, which he instils around him is actually the only feature that makes him a stager, a kind of wise man.

Reclaim Your City 088 | Ntogn (Bålsta, Sweden)
For 40'000 years, man has performed sacred rituals in order to commune with the ruling forces of life and motion. In pace with rapid beats and under the influence of entheogenic sacraments, we have been dancing and raving in the smoke of sacred fires in order to travel inwards to the undergrounds of bordering dimensions and beyond to the distant fringe of the universe.
Ntogn wants to embody these holy flames and visionary clouds of smoke. To act as a sonic magician, not only fusing the five elements of the pentagram with spells evoked in swirling, dark and psychedelic techno rituals, but also to create a mythological and occult narrative.
Released on Semantica Records, UTCH, Labrynth, Concepto Hipnotico and D.M.T. Records

Reclaim Your City 075 | Dadub (Berlin)
Dadub is a meeting of two minds, Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti, a duo whose output is underpinned by a mutual curiosity. The result? Startling electronic music productions, one of the best live acts in the scene and the innovative Artefacts Mastering studio. The collaboration started not in their native Italy, but in Berlin. Daniele arrived in Berlin with the kernel of Dadub, a project he'd begun in 2008 with a release on the label A Quite Bump. Daniele came via Rome where he'd plunged himself into production, studying electronic music. Giovanni had been drawn to Berlin to work on interactive digital arts projects, honing his knowledge of hardware and software. Once they met it was only a matter of time before Dadub became a two-man project. Twinned by a fascination of process, and a love of Lee Scratch Perry's mix board experiments, they take dub and push it into the deepest corners of techno and out to the ambient fringes. Frustrated by identikit sounds in electronic music they set about pouring their technical knowledge together in search of innovation. They describe their approach in the studio as 'like making scent'. Dadub take sound and process it to extract depth and expose human warmth. With this studio outlook it was natural for Dadub to move into mastering. They delved in and Artefacts Mastering emerged: mastering that involves no presets and a policy of adjusting every track entirely from scratch. It's exactly this type of discipline, their use of open strategies instead of formulas that also makes Dadub so dynamic live. Live they layer dubbing and synthesis, they take Dadub material and deconstruct or reconstruct it spontaneously. Their sets are seriously deep and have been showcased internationally at Barcelona's Sonar festival, Germany's Melt! festival and in clubs from Berlin to Moscow and New York. There's something alchemical about Dadub whether live, on record or when commanding the studio. And when considering their mixes for CLR, Electric Deluxe or Electronic Explorations, it's clear that when given space and length they're ambitious. In early 2013 Stroboscopic Artefacts released Dadub’s most ambitious work to date their debut album ‘You Are Eternity’. The critically acclaimed record is the product of over two years of deep studio research, experimental synthesis strategies and manages to capture the length and breadth of Dadub’s unique vision.

Reclaim Your City 072 | Juho Kahilainen (Hyvinkää)
A prophet without a vision. A song without a melody. A deejay without a hype.
Juho has been pushing tracks for a long time. He played his first gig in 1997 and to be honest, not much has happened after that. The bastard might have been lucky to release some shots on BPitch Control, Initial Cuts, Frozen North Recordings, M_Rec Ltd Grey Series and Prologue Music, but he is still doing the same stuff he did that time. We might ask him why is he still here? Normal people understand to stop when there is no progress.
Juho is a stubborn individual. As a musician his "career" might have been an anti-climax with a lot of effort and not much achievements, but is there something else he could do? The poor bugger is not much of an athlete. You couldn't imagine him as a model either. Let's face the facts: he is good enough to be a dj. Juho's problem is that he wants to be a bit more than that. He believes that making music will take him somewhere. So far it hasn't happened. Some people think it never will.
Do not feel sorry for him. He has chosen to live this way. It is possible that he even wrote this piece-of-shit text himself. Juho draws his inspiration from melacholy, depression and anxiety. The future is something to fear. It might be that this kind of self-pity and pathetic dystopian visions feed him as an artist. What a loser.

Reclaim Your City 068 | Tallmen 785 (Berlin)
Something changed when the then 20 year-old Tallmen 785 (a.k.a Brian Mitchell) heard King Tubby and Lee Perry for the first time. Those dub- wise sounds reverberated through his body unearthing a desire to seek out all the music he had yet to discover. This quest made him seek out further sounds from the past and the future, and inevitably led him into the gripping hands of Techno. Shortly thereafter Brian saw the necessity to change his surroundings – from NYC where he had been playing guitar with the likes of jazz legend Ornette Coleman, Lawrence D. “Butch” Morris and many in the improvised music scene, to Berlin.
Although this path has been taken by many, his move seemed to produce anything but cliché results. Here, Brian started playing guitar for numerous bands and performing regularly with Jochen Arbeit, a member of Einstürzende Neubauten. But he also listened to the sounds of Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Sandwell District, Basic Channel, Ben Klock, and spend much of his time in clubs like the fabled Berghain. These influences from Electronic music as well as organic instrumentation created a balance that led him away from blatant Techno mimicry. Brian started to create his own unique sonic interpretations. Most of the elements in his tracks are made from guitar sounds that go through an extensive filtration process. The result is an aesthetic, which does not derive from drum machines and synths. In 2013, he started his own record label entitled ''Tallmen Records'' with which he has already released the ep ''Down'' His 20 plus years of musical training ripple through his current Techno productions. Thatʼs why his sound can seem somewhat alien, but yet so familiar.

Reclaim Your City 067 | Datura Dilema (Unknown)
Datura Dilema, just like the Moonflower… only flow’s during the night or very early morning hours.
The genus name is derived from Dhatura, an ancient Hindu word. Dilema comes from the Greek; it is a problem offering at least two possibilities, neither of which are practically acceptable.
Today, Datura Dilema grows underground and unmaterialistic, yet innovative in cold and calculated minds, just as a dilemma in two alternative ways, constructive and/or destructive; clearly defined mind-blowing repetitive sequences.
Datura Dilema can lay dormant underground for years and germinate when the time is disturbed; darker edged and obscure melodramatic deep drones fill up landscapes of pervasive cloud sculptures.
His complexity retains an abstract electronica direction that translates into Tropane alkaloids, hyoscyamine and scopolamine which are classified as deliriants or anticholinergics utilizing machinery and a variety of tools.
Datura Dilema and its seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen, which are used to build and create compressed analogue signals in a certain way, where the mind will once again have one or both of the choices of my dilemma.
Datura Dilema intoxication typically produces a complete inability to differentiate reality from fantasy; hyperthermia; bizarre and possibly strange behavioral variations like a pressure wave caused by the vibration and frequency of sound and substances. Datura Dilema encapsulates a variation of sound enhancements, elements coming and going from different distances imitating refraction of sound waves, mystical twisted high quality sounds that figure as bright spots; which in reality is a form of communication generated through moods and atmospheres.

Reclaim Your City 066 | Exium (Asturias, Spain)
It is not often that electronic music artists venture into projects with other creators, but it is even less often to come across artists whose collaboration becomes a stable and lasting union, accounts for most of the work they do and goes far beyond a mere sporadic partnership. When such a project becomes consolidated and mature and shifts from deejaying to studio production, we can say we’re facing a pretty unique scenario, especially if the artists manage to keep up the rhythm, quality and increasing recognition for over a decade.
This is the case of Valentín Corujo + Héctor Sandoval = Exium. The success formula employed by this duo of deejays and producers from Asturias, Spain, that have yet to experience a setback in their career ever since in 1994 they decided to work together, is one of determined and solid effort.
Their early work attracted the attention of national labels Tsunami and Warm Up, and the fact that twelve years later they are still working side by side, speaks volumes.
In 2000 they released their first 12" in the English label Zet, which was followed by a long list: Polegroup, Equator, Numb, Audio Assault, Planet Rhythm, Labrynth, Main Out, Rxxistance, Recycled Sound, Reaktor or Infecta have released their creations. Their productions made their way into the sets of the most representative DJs and producers and nowadays feature in the sets of artists such as Dave Clarke, Oscar Mulero, Surgeon, Laurent Garnier, Luke Slater, Aphex Twin, and many more.
From 2001, after they became resident DJs at club Rocamar in Gijón, one of the most important house and tech-house clubs in the north of Spain, and thanks to the success obtained with their first productions, they began to take their live performances to prominent clubs and festivals of the whole peninsula; it wasn’t long before their travels took them around Europe, where they’ve become regulars: Germany, Ireland, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Croatia...playing in clubs and festivals such as Tresor, Berghain or Awakenings.
Their career as producers continued to grow and, after releasing several EPs on different labels, 2004 saw the birth of Nheoma, a label for them to give expression to their style with total freedom. Nine records later, amongst the names they have worked with we find artists such as Oscar Mulero, Christian Wünsch, Reeko, Fanon Flowers, Radial, Gayle San, Inigo Kennedy, Jeroen Search, Nick Dunton, Hiroaki Iizuka, Groof, Developer or Kwartz.
In 2003 they took part in Oscar Mulero’s WarmUp Tour, and in 2008 they set up a new project called “Selección Natural” together with fellow countrymen Oscar Mulero, Christian Wünsch and Reeko. This laid the foundations for a great relationship between the five, whose work makes up a very important part of the best and purest techno that has been produced in the peninsula over the last decade. This affinity materialised in the creation of the PoleGroup platform, nowadays essential in terms of techno.
2011 sets a new and important milestone along Exium’s path with the publication of their first LP album: Roots of Time. The record will be released by Nheoma and is a demonstration of their incredible capacity and the degree of maturity they have reached after over a decade of working hard and with patience. Having received passionate critiques and a warm welcome only weeks after its release, this record is proof that Exium have made themselves some space amongst the greatest artists of the Iberian techno and makes sure that a great future lies ahead of them.

Reclaim Your City 064 | Takaaki Itoh (Sendai, Japan)
Techno hit Japan hard in the early 1990s. Surprised, Takaaki Itoh was quickly impressed and intrigued with this new sound. The unique style of beats revealed the gateway to a new world of underground music in Japan - something he had never heard before. Surprise slowly gave way to addiction when Takaaki Itoh was exposed to the sounds of such artists and labels as Underground Resistance, Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Hardfloor, Sven Väth, Harthouse, Warp and Rising High. This was his sound, and deciding he just couldn't get enough of it, in 1994 Takaaki began to organize his own techno parties in his home of northern Japan. By providing a fantastic lineup, his parties quickly became a success.
In 1996, having decided that it was time to start making his own tracks, Takaaki Itoh emerged to purchase the vital instruments to begin production. After sending out three finished projects to various labels, Electracom UK was fortunate enough to put Takaaki's first material out. This moment was something he will never forget, as he was finally able to hear his own music on vinyl.

Reclaim Your City 062 | Gandalf (Turin)
Matteo Brigatti, aka Gandalf, is one of the founders and resident djs of Stereo, the techno night born in Turin in 2010 as a different option the mainstream tech-house sounds that dominated the scene during those years.
After few years spent as clubber and amateur dj, truly inspired by Turin underground scene promoted by nights such The Plug and The Bed, in 2003 he had the first opportunity to play in public at Docks Home club, flanking two of the most known djs of local scene: Giorgio Pulini and Federico Gandin.
After few years spent growing professionally and artistically having the opportunity to play in a large number of Turin's clubs, and exploring different styles in his dj sets (electro, prog-house, Chicago house, Detroit techno and minimal), in 2006 he had his first residency in the former night "Mood" every friday at Fluido (today "Club Gamma"), one of the most important club of the city, playing side by side with some of the most influential international djs, from Jerome Sydenham to Len Faki, from Solomun to Chris Carrier. In 2008 the Mood experience stopped, and Gandalf started to get closer to UK and German techno scene: after a couple of years the Stereo project started.
From 2010 onwards, he became a real passionate of the new deep and dub techno scene and started to promote these sounds in Turin, inviting (and sharing the console with many of them) artists such as Marcel Fengler, Luke Slater, Norman Nodge, Ryan Elliott, Silent Servant, Regis, Steve Rachmad, Jonas Kopp and many more.
His passion for music never stuck him to just techno, as he continued to organize and playing in parties with more housey sounds with his Secret Mood project (hosting djs such as Theo Parrish, Larry Heard, Hernan Cattaneo, Henry Saiz, Moodymann, Estroe..)
He is a regular guest of the most important city festivals such as Club to Club and Movement Torino (for the latter he obtained a residency) and he's been called to play in many nights and festival around Italy (in particular Aurora Festival in Lecce in 2013 where he played with Truss, Regis, Shifted and Sigha). In March 2013 he also had the opportunity to play in the most important French techno party, Concrete, along with Marcel Dettmann, Abdullah Rashim and Zadig.
After ten years spinning music, he decided that now it's time to start producing his own techno tracks, and opened a small studio with the Stereo crew. His first releases have been published between 2013 and 2014 by the french dub techno label Gravite. His style is made of a mixture of energetic and traveling tracks, deconstructed and re-constructed through the aid of digital technologies (he was one of the first Italian djs to realize the potential of digital djing) and he is well known as a dj that can really understand and become sympathetic with the dancefloor in front of him.
Today he's recognized as one of the most important promoter of techno sounds in Italy both as artist and as event organizer.

Dax has seen his music remixed by some of the scenes biggest artists from the likes of Ryan Elliott & Jonas Kopp to Mark Broom and Phase.
Dedicated to pushing underground music, Dax teamed up with label partner Chris Stanford to create the first release on EarToGround Records, the Programm EP in 2011. It saw notable remixes from the likes of Shifted and Truss. Released on vinyl only it was an instant success and completely sold out. Since then Dax has continued to release original material for the label alongside partners Chris and Gareth Wild.
In 2013 Dax went on to start his own imprint “Monnom Black” a vinyl only project that has seen music from artists across the globe establishing Dax’s ideal of techno. On launch it gained huge support from the scene and has become a successful go to label for quality techno.

His techno sound reflects his early roots of pirate radio and underground raves.
Dax grew up listening to the UK sounds of jungle, drum n bass and garage. Being heavily influenced by the likes of Goldie and Bad Company, his love for the underground meant he soon started dj’ing on pirate radios at an early age of 15 whilst he was still at school. He became an avid vinyl collector buying from his local record store “Black Market” on a weekly basis whilst at the same time producing and crafting his sound. His first vinyl releases would come in 2005 on old Jungle labels like Mickey Finn’s “Urban Takeover” under alias “Dangerous” and his own imprint back then “Xplicit Sound.” Following on from this Dax went on to discover the sounds of techno during one summer spent in Ibiza. From this point on his passion for cutting edge 4 by 4 beats took over but the old jungle influences are still heard today in his dj sets and productions.
His past and current music have earned Dax plays from some of the most respected names in underground dance music as well as receiving BBC Radio 1 airplay. Degree educated in Music Technology and running his own studio in East London Dax J also works as an in demand sound and mastering engineer. With a stack of music set to be released and a busy gig schedule over the rest of the year the future is looking bright for the UK artist.

Reclaim Your City 059 | Arnaud Le Texier (London)
Arnaud’s career dates back to 1990 when he first began managing record shops and building what is now a huge archive of knowledge, taste and musical dedication to his name. His five years residency at Paris’s Queen and memorable sets around Europe over the years that followed perfected Arnaud’s djing skills, earning him his spot in the worldwide scene where he continues to this day to be a prominent dj and production figure.
In 2000 at a Miami gig, Arnaud met British dj James Warren, the pair shared a vision and love of expressing deep and constructed minimal and techno sounds. The two artists decided to launch the UK based labels; Atcha Recordings and Kailash Records.
5 years later, Safari Electronique was born. Arnaud decided to launch this new label because he wanted something different and where he could sign all styles of electronic music. A label a bit more experimental and personal, which concentrates on techno and minimal sounds, sensuality and dance-floor grooves has since gone on to collaborate with best known and highly respected artists. Safari Electronique made his name by often being the first to discover who was about to become a big talent. This tells a lot about label owner Arnaud Le Texier's DJ Set. Through his focus on music quality and originality, as well as his performances on an International level, Arnaud Le Texier became one of the leaders in electronic sound.
At the beginning of 2006 Arnaud decided to move to London where he played in different clubs or parties such as T Bar, Kubicle, Half Baked, Secret Sundaze, Bread & Butter, Multi Vitamins, Wiggle etc … and he is a regular Dj at Fabric since 9 years.

In 2008 Children Of Tomorrow was born. A label created by Emmanuel Ternois. Arnaud decided to join this project in 2011 and to focus on the techno side. For over more than 20 years they have both shared their passion for timeless techno Music. Raw and timeless are the main elements of the label. Arnaud is releasing his own music and confirmed talents such as : Terrence Dixon, ROD, Jonas Kopp, Ryan Elliott, Samuli Kemppi, Zadig, Antigone, Antonio De Angelis, Birth Of Frequency and many more have been involved with releases or remixes.

Reclaim Your City 058 | CTRLS (Copenhagen)
Troels Knudsen has been immersed in music for most of his life. Based out of Copenhagen, this focus has been fixed on the club world. The last 10+ years have been spent producing, performing, engineering and dj’ing various electronic genres around Europe and beyond. This activity generated the excentric Pyro drum’n’bass moniker, house works as part of 2400 Operator on Underground Quality and the noise and industrial tinged techno project Northern Structures on Sonic Groove.
After a few years of working in groups it was time to get back to solo work and in 2012 the Ctrls project was iniated with the release of the Interface EP on the new homebase Token Records. The new more futurstic and fastpaced alias has generated a lot of attention since then and releases and remixes alike have worked themselves into the sets of the most notable techno djs in the world. Many succesfull dj and live performance bookings have followed and crowds across europe and like fabric and berghain have taken well to the output of Ctrls.

Reclaim Your City 057 | Joachim Spieth (Stuttgart)
Joachim Spieth is a long time DJ, producer and label boss of Affin. Whether through the music he produces himself, or the productions he releases on his own imprint, the sounds always operate in their own little pockets away from the norm. It all started with ‘Abi 99’ – one of the earliest 12”s Cologne stable Kompakt ever released. At the time it was supported by legendary UK radio DJ John Peel and, in turn, was followed up with more huge early success in the form of ‘Under Pressure’, a split single EP on Speicher with Michael Mayer.
In the years since, there have been tracks licensed to The Orb’s Back to Mine compilation, appearances on labels like Paso, Traum Schallplatten and Tongut and a steady stream of remixes for the likes of Michael Mayer, Einmusik and Guy J, all of which have blurred the lines between techno, minimal and house music in the producers own unique way.
Chief amongst Spieth’s achievements are those of his wide-ranging label, Affin. As well as hosting a regular radio show of the same name on Proton and label nights at clubs across Europe, the imprint has clocked up 100 releases, spawned various Selected compilations (including one recently to celebrate its centenary release) and has championed music from artists like Deepchild, Little Fritter, The Dolphins, Truncate, Roberto and so many more.
Most recently, the five-year-old outlet has started Affin LTD, a sub-label putting music out on vinyl, with great looking and sounding results. It’s no wonder, then, that revered contemporary DJs like Seth Troxler, Jimpster and Laurent Garnier regularly include Affin records in their sets around the world.
Spieth himself plays a range of top European clubs on a regular basis, impressing crowds at respected venues like Culture Box, Denmark, Tresor, Berlin, Hive Zurich in Switzerland, Kater Holzig in Berlin, and many other European hotspots with his deft blend of groove, melody and atmosphere.
His latest vinyl EP release ‘Sensual’ might just be his greatest to date, with the likes of Scuba playing it in his Essential Mix, Depeche Mode’s Martin L Gore (a pop hero for Spieth) charting it on Beatport, Juan Atkins dropping it during his live Beatport stream and many other accolades across the board.
As well as that, Joachim has turned in a killer remix for Deepchild which has been heard on John Digweed’s Transitions Show, has compiled and mixed Affin Fractals – a selection of exclusive and unreleased cuts from his label that picked up great reviews across the board - and is soon to unleash his latest remixes for Enough Music and Thoughtless Music. After a decade in the game, then, Joachim Spieth is a true pillar of the electronic community.

Reclaim Your City 056 | Tadeo (Barcelona)
More than ten years of experience has created Tadeo as an artist. With the meticulousness of an erudite he has been experimenting, investigating and developing his sound on the dancefloors and in the studio, and now he is an established dj and producer, label manager of Cyclical Tracks and Another Intelligence, NET28 founder, and collaborator of CMYKmusik and Apnea.
His concept of music goes beyond the standard and offers a unique experience full of personality, driven by passion and dedication, redifining languages and ideas. That’s his peculiar way of understanding techno, he conceives it as something dark, well arranged, powerful, solid and dark. He constructs imaginative and impossible dj sets using the standard set up, three decks and a mixer, with superb skills.
Maybe, he has the best sets of the actual panorama: never boring and always peculiar, well structured and meticulous, organic and deep... following the guidelines of an equation that he is the only one to know, and in which the results are unique.
In the studio he renews and combines the best of Detroit and Chicago with avant-garde sounds. Innovation is his goal, based on the mental influence of hypnotism and repetition – as a dub fan and producer as he is – to construct a universe of rounds that looks to the future and that is inspired by the Cosmos and science.
He also entered more experimental musical realms, performing live in the National Museum of art Reina Sofía, Dos de Mayo Art Center (Spain) and the 12a Bienal de Cine Español de Annecy (France).

Reclaim Your City 055 | Ray Kajioka (Berlin)
Born in the small town Wittenberg, Germany, in 1980. Son of a japanese craftsman. His german mother named him Ray after the Soul and Jazz-legend Ray Charles, like she would have always known his affinity to the music. The Berlin-based Techno producer and DJ, Ray Kajioka has been working in the scene since 1995. He’s best known for his output on Kanzleramt Music. Especiallly for his releases “Sparks” and “Thrill” (released 2011/12), also his track “Never Ending” on Cocoon Recordings, which became huge hits and have been listed in many DJ charts.
In 2000, after the Oxyt died, Ray Kajioka joined the Electronic Music Club "Global Village” in Dessau, where he supported the nights with impressive live and DJ-sets until the club closing in 2005. Along that time, the young musician signed on Müller Records. His debut "Ichi-Ni-San-Shi" went very successful, that triggered more booking requests to play at established clubs and bigger events (Distillery Leipzig, Tresor Berlin, Melt Festival, Time Warp, Summer Spirit, to name few) in Germany.
Further releases appeared on Television and Rotation Records though. The most of his tracks had been released via Heiko Laux’ label Kanzleramt, since 2004. Ray Kajioka has also produced several remixes for artists such as Joel Mull, Elbee Bad, Secluded, Pawas, Tom Hades, Beroshima.
A distinguishing and striking aspect of his music is certainly the warm spheric and impulsive sound, which is constantly present in all his productions. Ray’s live and DJ-performance encompasses all the elements of today’s modern Techno/ Nu-House, but has its feet firmly planted in the roots of the Detroit-vibe. “The typical Ray-sound!”, as some call it simply, is appreciated all around the globe and had taken him to events international-wide. Meanwhile Ray Kajioka found a new residency at the legendary venue Berns, Stockholm in Sweden.

Reclaim Your City 050 | Rolando (Detroit)
Roland Rocha was born in 1970’s southwest Detroit. He grew up in the mainly Hispanic district of the city, which to this day is dominated by Mexican migrants looking for work in the heavily industrial city.
From an early age he was influenced by his musical culture with it’s roots in Latin American rhythms and percussion. He was greatly encouraged by his enthusiastic father, also a well known local musician and as a young teenager he pursued his own interest in music and became a well known and respected dj within his own right.
It was in the mid eighties that he was so inspired when he heard Jeff Mills spin (at the time he was known as “the wizard”) that he quickly unearthed the new radical and ground breaking sounds of techno. then by chance, through a mutual friend Ruben Gonzalez, he was introduced to the formidable “mad” Mike Banks and was promptly (to his delight) asked to become a member of the infamous and enigmatic Underground Resistance crew.
Soon afterwards came his first ever opportunity to cross the Atlantic and wow audiences worldwide with his mild manner and now infamous speedy turntable proficiency; skilfully meandering from funky house, gut vibrating electro, the great techno classics and new soulful melodic techno - earning him respect and notoriety within the industry as a whole.
“Jaguar broke” the ice critically although not Rolando’s first release on UR, it turned archaic perceptions of techno on their head. it broke through into all other genres of dance music and became a classic in the boxes of many noteworthy dj’s; such as Kevorkian, Garnier, Morillo, Tenaglia - even Oakenfold and Giles Peterson.
The headlining ensuing battle against corporate goliath’s Sony, was eventually won (even if only morally) by the shear determination of the small independent label (underground resistance) and with the steadfast support of angry activist fans worldwide; proving themselves once again to be a much loved and respected force to be reckoned with.
Then Rolando launched his own label “los hermanos” with then partners Gerald Mitchell and Mike Banks. Already the label has a number of much acclaimed releases under it’s belt with Rolando it’s ambassador at it’s forefront. Now, Rolando is free – no longer a member of UR he continues solo, as a dj, producer and remixer now entering an exciting new phase in his almost 20yr long career with his most recent project “crossroads” his new label.

Reclaim Your City 049 | Ron Albrecht (Schwerin)
Ron Albrecht began his musical career in the early nineties. His first trips to Berlin clubs like "Tresor", "Bunker" and "E-Werk" made him switch from being a regular music consumer to discovering the field of performing and DJ-ing. Obligatory visits of Germany’s possibly most popular record shops back then, such as the "Hardwax" in Berlin and "Container Records" in Hamburg, led Ron Albrecht to finding is very own style. Inspired by national and international scene experts like Tanith, Rok, Kid Paul and Jeff Mills, just to name a few, it was time to come out into the open for the first time in 1993.
Over the years he played his music in almost every club in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but he didn't stop there. Performances at music festivals such as the Fusion (2000, 2006, 2013), SMS (2005, 2006) and Melt (2000) as well as appearances in many well known clubs, e.g. Tresor Berlin, Ultraschall Munich, Phonodrome and Waagenbau Hamburg, Muna Bad Klosterlausnitz and most recently Berghain Berlin, maintain his musical career. While his sets of modern sound always make for variety, it is important to artist to always enrich his music by refering to the origins of techno and house.
Between 1997 and 2002 Ron Albrecht additionally worked as a producer together with his associate Thomas Kuffner, releasing several records under the labels "Sind Records" and "ElektronikParlament". He also worked as co-operator of the "EasytraxxRecordstores" in Schwerin from 1995 to 2006.
Above all, his name is still closely connected to the old-established GERBEREI club in Schwerin, which the co-founder, organizer and resident ran from 1994 until its closing in 2013.
"Brothers in Mind", a DJ and producer collaboration, is another one of Ron Albrechts projects which he puts into practice together with his longtime friend Stefan Rein. Their newest musical output can be found under their label PURE - "Tatort"
Since autumn 2013 Ron Albrecht is booked on Dystopian ( booking@dystopian.de )

Reclaim Your City 043 | Reggy Van Oers (Amsterdam)
Mysterious effects invading the ear with a dark movement that comes in and out. It makes me feel like I am in a cave seeing a ritualistic ceremony of the ages. Reggy Van Oers has definitely found a sound that fits the world of techno.
With the experimental nature of his techno style he creates a 3 dimensional environment in his tracks, it combines the progressive appeal of trance but keeps it dark and deep. It rolls off your body and stays ever changing… After his debut release “Metza” on Trapez Ltd in 2007 he got great feedback from out the globe. Both tracks on this EP were used in the Trapez Selection 6 mixed by Traum’s label owner Riley Reinhold aka Triple R. Soon after his debut EP he released “Matar” on Field Records that later on was licensed to Manual Music. Berghain’s resident DJ Boris, played “Matar” many times in his sets and selected it as a favourite in his all time top ten tracks. Sabre, Real Desert Fish, Boldarani, Indovine, Centipede and Untitled X2 were released on Joachim Spieth’s imprint Affin. Real Desert Fish got remixed by Sleaze Records (UK) label boss Hans Bouffmyhre, while Indovine was remixed by the BCR Boys!!! On Tongut Records the Myst EP appeared as a solid 3-tracker, less melody but arranged with dark vocals and stirry atmospheres. His music keeps focusing on deep evolving grooves, almost hypnotic melodic elements all captivated by a strong steady beat.
Recently he released Evasive and TRC on Affin. Evasive was remixed by Jonas Kopp and Sinuosity received a beautiful rework from Ness. With TRC, that got remixes by Modularz label boss Developer and Chris Page, he shows he keeps on moving into darker territories.

Reclaim Your City 042 | Commodity Place (Rome)
Commodity Place comes from the musical intuitions of two Roman musicians, Maximilian Loretucci (Computer and Synth) and Riccardo Frosini (guitar and Percussions). Their sound, characterized by more sophisticated electronic and psychedelic influences, finds a magical meeting place, merging in a perfect balance of melodic and rhythmic. Musicians such as Carl Craig, Francois Kevorkian, Manuel Gottsching, Radioslave, Paul Nazca, John Daly, Henrik Schwarz and Woolfy, Lory D, Ricky L and Sauro Cosimetti reserved praise for the unique style of this young duo, while the British press did not use words defining their productions as authentic masterpieces. Their first release, Not Ordinary Day for Cochlea Music Ltd opened incandescent scenarios and visionaries, a cosmic journey between resounding sound of guitar and synth arpeggios in which surrender completely. Great success has been achieved even in Jazz after their performance at the 2010 Festival Dancity at the Auditorium San Domenico di Foligno receiving praise from musicians such as Bugge Wesseltoft and Alessio Bertallot. Their jobs are highly sought after for the background music for documentaries and Short films (like the teaser video for the presentation of the 2010 edition of the festival Dissonance, one of the most important festival of the Italian and international scene, and the short film "shooting" for the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia of Rome).
Live performances of the Commodity Place are an experience that combines in an inseparable body and mind, in a modern psychedelic trip that sinks in several occasions its enthralling barycenter in rhythmic attack, keeping however intact a refined melodic and engaging pace, as about as cool and exciting you can expect from a live today.

Reclaim Your City 040 | Skirt (Birmingham)
DJ Skirt was born in Houston Texas and has been residing in Birmingham UK for the last decade. She bought her turntables in 1998 and has been mixing vinyl ever since, having played records in many techno clubs all over the UK and internationally in places like Berlin, Athens, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Dublin, Amsterdam in recent years.
DJ Skirt started producing her own music in 2001 and has released records on Horizontal Ground, Frozen Border, Semantica and remixes on labels such as Semantica, Perc Trax and Sect. Her production style is somewhat different to her DJ approach. Her own productions and remixes often show a much more experimental side of the artist, however when she is behind the decks it is purely the intention to devastate the dancefloor with dark and powerful techno beats to make the body move.

Reclaim Your City 039 | Jonas Kopp (Buenos Aires)
Few would dispute Jonas Kopp as being one of the most prominent and exciting figures to emerge from Argentina in recent years. An accomplished producer, in-demand remixer and versatile performer, he has fast transitioned from Buenos Aires’ best-kept secret to one of contemporary house and techno’s leading lights, on a par with genre-defying luminaries such as Levon Vincent, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettman and Ryan Elliot.
Jonas’ music career began early on; by 19 years old he had made his first full length CD under the name of Area 64 whilst working as resident DJ at a popular FM radio station. In 2006 he made his debut proper on Pfirter’s MindTrip Music imprint, and has been flirting with a myriad of styles ever since. But whether it’s deep Chicago-inspired house (Curle), or driving basement-ready techno (Stroboscopic Artefacts, Krill Music, Ostgut Ton), cavernous basslines and mesmerising rhythms flavour his eclectic discography throughout. It is this distinct and powerful signature that make records like ‘Reforce’—his first four track EP for Deeply Rooted House, and most diverse yet—possible. Where the surging and the abstract, the uplifting and the slow-burner all find themselves side-by-side.
An equally multifaceted performer, Jonas has become renowned for his three turntable DJs sets that course dizzyingly through tempos and temperaments—anything goes when Jonas is on deck. Meanwhile, his more techno-orientated live PA show has been refined over the years using a blend of digital and analogue equipment, unveiled for the first time at the prestigious Berghain back in July 2010. He has since remained a regular fixture at the Berlin institution, and club circuit Europe-wide, totalling memorable appearances at ADE, Sonar and Amsterdam’s Trouw—to name a few. This year will see Jonas extend beyond Europe with tours pegged for the US and Japan in the pipeline.
Despite enjoying worldwide notoriety, Jonas hasn’t forgotten his roots. Founding Traut Muzik in 2008, the label has chiefly supported fledgling and homegrown talents, like Franco Cinelli, in a move to further raise the profile of the South American electronic scene. Its remit has since widened to welcome the likes of Tom Dicicco and Bleak to its budding roster. Manzel is the latest string to Jonas’ bow—a side production project and label launched in summer 2011 dedicated to the deeper and more hypnotic end of the techno scale.

Reclaim Your City 038 | Max_M (R.I.P)
Max Magrini aka Max_M was the founder and label owner of M_REC LTD. Born in Rome in the mid-70s, he's been involved in the Italian techno and electronic music scene since the early 90s. His cultural and artistic references are tied to the longstanding traditions set by Detroit and Birmingham pioneers: inherently political techno, uncompromising and underground.
His experience as a dj developed through the years spent working and playing raves and clubs around Europe. Through the past two decades Max_M developed a personal and unique style, true to his roots and ideals. His “maximalist” and radical attitude informs the intent and mission behind his label M_Rec LTD and the sub-label ‘Grey Series’. A vinyl lover and avid 12” collector, Max_M and M_Rec LTD. releases have been charted by some of the most important techno authorities, trickling into a large number of dj sets, podcasts, RA charts and digital radio shows.
Max_M may prefer the shadows, but his mounting productions and efforts as M_Rec Ltd. label chief are shunting him ever further into the limelight.
Max Magrini passed away on the 30th of May 2015 after a short battle with cancer.

Reclaim Your City 036 | Dave Miller (Abstract Division)
Closely examining Dave Miller’s extensive past encounters with electronic music reveals an unassuming and skilled artist whose early life revolves around frequenting record stores,exploring analogue hardware and who, through New Wave and Italo Disco, eventually discovers techno. Meticulously building a collection of vinyl records that now easily outmatches most others of its kind, he is living proof that old habits do indeed die hard and, more importantly, that in his case this is a strong virtue instead of a vice. While digital’s advent has undeniably had a tremendous impact on the art of DJ-ing, Dave continues to rely on his vinyl; not out of stubborn refusal but rather out of appreciation for its creator, sound, label and artwork. This effort and warm affection charaterizes him, both as an artist and as a person.
After taking the neccesary time to get familiar with the production side of things he began putting out music around 2001 as part of the illustrious collective behind Audiosculpture and also with long-term friend Damian Keane under the Miller & Keane guise. More recently Dave and Paul Boex decided to start collaborating, marking the beginning of a new and ambitious chapter known now as Abstract Division. Together they have released music on Paul’s own Dynamic Reflection, Labrynth and Orbis Records and have played most major venues around the Netherlands, bringing the house down every single time.
In over a decade of gigs Dave has performed both in and outside of the Netherlands and can put Awakenings, Berghain, Tresor, Planet Rose, Mental Evolution and many more on his list of venues and events. Always carrying the right, perfectly suited records for the place, time and crowd he has managed to move small dancefloors and large warehouses alike. As attention for Abstract Division increases and with a new trilogy, following last year’s well-received “Form and Function”, entitled “Time and Perception” set for release in the first half of 2013 the chance of Dave adding another decade to his career seems all the more likely.

Reclaim Your City 034 | Markus Suckut (Ruhrgebiet, Germany)
When you tell a story you explain something which has engaged you, something which has moved you. Telling good stories is certainly not easy, particularly if you don’t use words. Just like a good DJ set, storytelling is all about creating an arc, putting listeners under a spell and giving the feeling that this story doesn’t have to come to an end. Telling a story with these attributes without using words? How it’s possible is demonstrated by DJ and producer Markus Suckut.
Markus’ own musical history began in 1999, at the brink of the new millennium an interest in electronic music was awa¬kened in the young, Germany-based Markus. At the time it was less about committing to one musical direction, than about the excitement of DJing and testing sonic limits. Carried along by the excitement of these inital impressions Markus began to teach himself to mix and within a few short years his first productions followed.
It’s hard to categorise someone who himself detests thinking about music in narrow-minded categories and who takes influence from many different styles of music. His own productions are best described plainly and simply with the word techno, techno which often and willingly becomes dub. His sets are wide reaching, and even if they have a common basis it’s difficult to describe what exactly they have in common. Perhaps it is soul, a bit of dreaminess and a tendency towards melancholy that best characterise Markus and his music.

Reclaim Your City 029 | Jeroen Search (Bergen op Zoom)
Jeroen Search simultaneously is one of techno’s most influential producers and well-kept public secrets. Consistently putting out quality music since the mid nineties on among many others his own genre-shaping Search imprint, he still resides where he has been for many years now: the absolute cutting edge. Named by many as a source of inspiration, Jeroen Search embodies a clear and honest interpretation of techno. His tracks, while audibly open to new and exciting musical influences, always remain true to that typical, inimitable Search-sound. He has seen little to no need to completely reinvent himself at any stage as most, if not all, of his work communicates itself with great ease due to its truly timeless nature.
Starting out in 1993 under the DJ Groovehead alias with one of the first releases on X-Trax Records, Jeroen has so far put out his music on many respected labels including Figure SPC, M_Rec LTD, Traut, Coincidence Records, and A&S, the latter he co-owns with friend and colleague Dimi Angélis. One of his personal highlights has been the ability to do two releases on Jeff Mills’ Axis/6277 label, one solo (New Reality EP) and one as Counterpart (The Martian Mystique). Jeroen’s approach to music production is an unorthodox one; he records all his tracks in a single take and does all his editing live. Constantly pushing his creativity by trying to get the most out of a minimal setup Jeroen remains active in the studio and he now has new releases lined up on Sect, Affin and Gynoid Audio.
Jeroen Search live, which he debuted at Berghain in 2009, is more than just an excellent showcase of his work. It’s a journey through the vast landscape of techno with an expert storyteller at the helm. When booked for a DJ-set Jeroen always aims to show a unique and alternate side of himself as an artist; bringing along some gems that other DJ’s may have overlooked or under appreciated, a Search DJ-set is bound to be something special.

Reclaim Your City 028 | Attemporal (Valencia)
Salva Cotanda & David Sierra are Attemporal a collision of forces, veteran and young to provide the best musical creature possible: intelligent techno crafted slowly, where every part has it’s own meaning in the whole concept. They don’t fit in the ‘track a day’ production dynamics, in fact they are not a product, they have a meaning and a duty, as Derrick May said once, this duty is to save the world from bad music. Attemporal fights against bad music in two principal fronts, the studio and on stage. In the studio each one provides the best audio elements, digital and analogue to craft their very own sound, focused on the dancefloor but with a strong ,mental approach. You can now taste their releases on vinyl or cratedigger on the best digital retailers to get their tracks, on their own Att series or Microfreak labels, as well as on classic imprints like Synewave or Software Records. On the Dj booth, they still support the manual way of doing things, mixing with the old technics turntables as a very dynamic tag team, filling their sets with the best underground beats from the past and the future. Briefing, true persons behind a true project on a mission to save techno from formulas and standarts.

Reclaim Your City 027 | The Automatic Message (Vancouver)
Vancouver-based Trevor Jacobson (b. 1977) and Tanya Goehring (b. 1980) are The Automatic Message. Partners in work and in life, they have built a strong portfolio of abstract, dark and tension-building audiovisuals together. Since forming The Automatic Message in 2006, Trevor and Tanya have been producing avant-guard, off-kilter techno and supporting it with their own visual interpretations, which, in line with their music, creates a tremendous sense of unease and tension.
Their music ranges from gritty, glitchy experimental to hard, dark techno with slices of jazz-influenced percussion. They have worked closely with various labels, most notably From 0-1 (Seattle), Kalimari (Montreal), Monsieur Musique (Montreal), and UNOIKI (Berlin).
The Automatic Message’s intriguing videography and dark style of editing has caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the techno world. CLR label boss Chris Liebing brought them onboard to create, produce and direct two videos for the label’s release schedule with Black Asteroid’s “Engine 1” and Tommy Four Seven’s “G”. The video they created for Tommy Four Seven was selected for screening at the Antimatter Festival in Victoria, BC in 2011. The music videos they create – whether for their own music or for other artists – explore themes of isolation and impending emotional and global collapse amidst surreal, dream-like psychological landscapes. They investigate these themes through peculiar and disconcerting character portraits.
Blending these two art forms, The Automatic Message melds their auditory and visual works to create unique live performances. They juxtapose the different characters that appear in their videos to tell new narratives. Their live performances are often described as cinematic, emotional, dark and thought provoking. The Automatic Message debuted live at the 2008 New Forms Festival in Vancouver, BC, and has since performed across North America at various events and festivals in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and most recently in Montreal.
The Automatic Message is committed to curating events that further their local community’s interests in audiovisual performances and video art. They were honoured to receive a Mount Pleasant Neighborhood Small Grants Project grant in both 2011 and 2012 to curate an event showcasing local audiovisual acts and a short film festival called IN MEDIAS RES.

Reclaim Your City 025 | Deepchild (Berlin)
From quirky, stripped-back techno injected with soul to deep, dub-inflected excursions, Deepchild has earned himself a reputation as groundbreaking producer, respected DJ and electrifying live-performer. Based in Berlin, the Australian artist has performed at many of the world’s most respected electronic music institutions: legendary gatherings like Detroit’s own Movement Festival and EXIT in Serbia, and the cream of European and American nightclubs – including numerous appearances at Berlin’s legendary Berghain and Tresor, amongst hundreds of others. Well loved and highly acclaimed for his dynamically personal take on techno and house, Deepchild’s passion for exploration of the form precedes him – reflected by an irrepressible fanbase and glowing critical praise. A demanding international tour schedule, his chart-topping new album Neukölln Burning, and a string of successful 12-inches have solidified Deepchild’s reputation as a pioneering underground producer. Playing shows alongside the likes of Richie Hawtin, Green Velvet, Jeff Mills, Seth Troxler, Abe Duque, Jesse Rose, Dixon, Sebo K , M.A.N.D.Y, Ewan Pearson and Will Saul, accompanied by remix work for legendary producers New Order and Booka Shade have earned respect and admiration from peers and fans alike. His original productions and remixes have featured on labels such as Trapez, Thoughtless, Highgrade, Resopal, Anabatic, Get Physical, Freerange and BEEF Records. The launch of his new online radio podcast series, Diversions, a tour of the US in early 2013, brand-new releases and a string of shows during the upcoming European summer make the coming year a very busy and exciting time for Deepchild.

Reclaim Your City 024 | I/Y (Berlin)
Having lived in almost all corners of the world, it took nothing more than finding themselves in Berlin, a dose of random chance and a barside conversation for Irakli and Yacoub to figure out they had similar views about music - and so, I/Y was born.

Reclaim Your City 023 | Israel Vines (Los Angeles)
With 15 plus years of DJ experience, Israel Vines brings a level of skill, context, and purpose to mixing that only comes with time and passion. Having spent his formative years as a DJ in both Detroit and Chicago, his roots are equally informed by underground dance music's two American capitals, as well as his deep love affair with the darker industrial and techno sounds from Europe and the UK. In 2010, he started the Borrowed Language imprint as an outlet for his own music as well as that of like-minded producers. The label has garnered international recognition and its releases have been played and charted by the likes of Surgeon, Silent Servant, Donatto Dozzy, Peter Van Hoesen, Miles Whittaker of Demdike Stare, and BMG of Ectomorph. Vines has also released on Cult Figures and done remix work for Makaton's Rodz-Konez imprint, with more releases and remixes in the works for release later this year. His genre agnostic DJ sets are an adventurous mix of deep and edgy techno, industrial, and classic material of various genres running the gamut from second room ambient to peak hour floor material.

Reclaim Your City 018 | Mike Gervais (Minneapolis)
Hailing from the icy tundra of Minneapolis, Timefog label boss Mike Gervais has been an integral part of the US techno community since the 90's. In the early years he took in many midwest warehouse events, walls of bass, Furthur campouts, Hawtin performances, and the beginnings of a tightly knit community in flyover country Minneapolis. In 2002 he connected with a local event powerhouse and went on to produce many successful events premiering the top US and European techno artists. More recently Mike has been running SYSTEM, which takes a page from the dark … loud warehouse influence in his early experiences.
Like many, this kind of behavior drew Mike to the turntables. He quickly mastered the basic skills of mixing and pushed for more. New ideas and technology continually evolved the way Mike would perform. In 2003 he took a giant leap and became an early adopter of Final Scratch technology. Soon after, the turntables were ditched all together in favor of the greater control offered with a digital performance rig. His latest mastering of Traktor, Ableton Live, classic turntable mixing, and unique controller combinations has kept him on the razors edge of performance bringing him all over North America, Canada, and Mexico.
In the late 2000's Mike took an important step into the never ending universe of producing. After only a handful of releases, his music was being played by heavy names like Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Chris Liebing, Camea, Tim Xavier, Dustin Zahn, Bryan Zentz, Tommy Four Seven, Dave Clarke and on. During that same year, his label Timefog was born and slipped onto radar of the electronic music community everywhere.

Reclaim Your City 017 | Fiedel (Berlin)
For Fiedel the three main musical influences are Electro/early Hip Hop (Egyptian Lover, Ice-T, 2 Live Crew, Mantronix), Acid/House (since 1986/87) and the Hard Wax record store in Berlin Kreuzberg. He started to dj publicly in the mid 90s on Mondays at a club called Subversiv, which then has been a constant in Berlin’s underground techno scene. Fiedel has demonstrably been one of the first djs to play Electro in this context. Besides he played serious techno from Carl Craig, Jeff Mills, the Burden Brothers, Mathew Johnson, Monolake, Soundhack and many others. When the moment is right, he also plays Hi-NRG. As he puts hit himself: Music should not be pigeonholed.
In 1996 and 1997 he released two eps on MMM with Errorsmith. Especially their track „Donna“ is considered a much played techno classic. Apart from his residency at OstGut / Berghain, he loves to play at clubs like Elastic (Leipzig), Suicide (Berlin), Club 69 (Glasgow), Ostklub (Frankfurt/Main) and Meccanoid (Melbourne).

Reclaim Your City 015 | Deepbass (Glasgow)
Deepbass found his passion for techno through clubbing in the Glasgow underground scene places like the Sub Club, Club 69 and The Arches. He has been heavily influenced by artists such as Speedy J, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood. At the age of 18 he started running his own illegal parties and club nights all over Scotland, soon after he tried his hand at production, trying to put his own take on what he thinks techno stands for, his underground parties influenced his style drastically and he started making extremely deep, dark, atmospherical techno. In 2009 he started his own label called Dark Beat with production partner Roman Toletski as they knew it would give them the experimental freedom they needed to explore deeper into the realms of techno. There releases have received support from some of the the biggest names in the scene and have had tracks from Mark Broom and Edit Select on the label. He started producing music in 2008 and from there his sound evolved, always minimalistic, elements of ambient, hypnotic rhythms and deep rolling bassline's. In 2010 he launched his label Informa Records as a platform to express himself and to explore further into his brand of deep techno.

Techno under every nuances and colours: dark, classic, solid, experimental, minimal, hardcore, acid... His music culture builds an energetic and elegant mix of deep surprises and swindle textures with a constant originality and creative experience. Freddy was an influent protagonist and point of reference for two generations of techno followers: a teacher on the deck with the true spirit of 90's and the new rave school touch.

Reclaim Your City 013 | Brendon Moeller (New York)
When it comes to post-Basic Channel dub techno, Brendon Moeller is one of the go-to guys. Since leaving his native South Africa for New York City in 1993, the dub technician has been proudly laying down his musical legacy on labels like Astralwerks, Mule Musiq and Six Degrees Records; working with revered vocalists like Paul St. Hilaire, Mikey Dread and Mutabaruka and fomenting relationships with scene institutions like fabric, Berghain and François K.
As a consequence, the dub landscape has been forever changing at his hands: sometimes under his own name, sometimes as Beat Pharmacy (almost exclusively on François K’s Wave Music) and sometimes as Echologist, he is behind seven full length albums to-date, each of which has breached the musical boundaries of what went before. Taking cues from jazz, techno, dub, afrobeat and psychedelia, Moeller’s aims are simple…
“My goal is, first and foremost, to create timeless, quality music that resonates with people from all walks of life. I want to evolve musically. I want to be able to continue making music and support my family with it... and if all goes well, would love to make enough money to purchase all my time favourite analogue synthesizers.”
Listen to his music – or that which his label, Steadfast, has so studiously released since 2009 – and you’ll understand that Moeller’s music has a knack for making you think whilst you inescapably give yourself over to its infectious grooves, and his most recent Ecologist album only confirms that: Subterranean is a deeply experimental record that explores a throbbing, swollen underworld of subconscious sounds which, in its conceptual referencing of everything from shoze-gaze to ambient to rock, marks Moeller out as an essential pillar of not only the dub techno community, but of the electronic music world as a whole.
For his ninth album on Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe imprint we see Brendon compile an album of deep driving techno with possibly the strongest dancefloor sensibility of any of his previous albums. Production-wise the album reflects the work of somebody who’s been unrelenting in the pursuit to become as good as he can possibly be at this.
In 2013 Brendon will be releasing EP’s as Echologist on Prologue and M-Rec, as beat Pharmacy on Soulpeoplemusic and Throne of Blood. A collaborative project called The Watchers (feat. himself & Speedy j) has also just been released on his own label. He is also currently working on the follow up album to his acclaimed Echologist album Subterranean.

Reclaim Your City 007 | Lakker (Dublin)
Since the early 2000s, Dara and Ian (aka Eomac) have been the brains behind the slugged out, bass heavy electronic outfit 'Lakker'. Both originating from Ireland, they paint intricate sonic tapestries ranging from haunting Arctic soundscapes to bass driven warehouse weight. Inspired heavily by the chopped up, processed sounds of the 90s, their humanist slant on techno has received play outs by the likes of Aphex Twin, Laurent Garnier, Blawan and Surgeon. 2012 saw Lakker featured on Rob Booth's 'Electronic Explorations' mix series, whilst making appearances at Glade festival, Krake festival and they were also set to play the ill-fated Bloc. They received high praise (5/5, 4/5 & 10/10 from Normann Records, Resident Advisor and Tillate magazine respectively) for their releases on 'Blueprint', one of Britain's most influential techno labels. This year has already seen an early release on 'Stroboscopic Artefacts' in the form of a remix for Italian duo Dadub. Further releases are set to come on Candela Rising, Stroboscopic Artefacts and Killekill. Moreover, they have just released their new AV show, in which the subtle changes in the music are reflected in the patient and detailed morphing of their visual content, with support from creative hubs such as 'CDM'.

His first encounter with the sound of a Moog Synth was when he listened to the 1972 Song by Yes “And you an I”. At that moment as a child he was hooked he had a clear vision of what beauty was. His affinity for music always existed even as a child. His love for dancing was also important to understand the music that was inundating his young body. Nicaragua a country so beautifully eclectic and tormented was the perfect scenario for this boy to fly. At the age of 8 he moved to Madrid for a short 2 year stint with his family, then he moved to Miami, Florida with his family. In Miami he played bass guitar for an underground punk rock outfit named “Social Decay”. His vinyl collection grew primarily composed of Punk Rock and Hardcore music.

His sets and productions are driven by intricate and solid drum patterns. His style is eclectic and incorporates sounds from Techno, Minimal, and Dub, but never forgetting his punk rock roots and that Moog Synth he heard when he was a child. George Paar apart from releasing in his own imprint also collaborates with other international labels and techno artists from around the globe. The necessity to feed his musical appetite drives him everyday, to listen, to play, to produce, to learn and most importantly to share his passion for techno music. His studio is evolving into an array of analogue gear which will continue to expand. His productions have found the charts and record trays of artists such as Giorgio Gigli, Obtane, DJ Emerson, Monoloc, Brando Lupi, amongst others.
