Coming through with April's podcast by the invasive French DJ and producer: Oposition (@oposition). Oposition is Louis Quelin's first project inspired by old school rave. He stands out with a style that comes from the perfect mastery of his turntables. Refined choices, great shows and technicals mix have brought him to many French warehouses and clubs such as Contrast, Fée Croquer and Ninkasi Kao. In 2017, he launched a massive machine-set-up project named INTERVENTION (@intervention_m40a3) with Luca Di Milla: 1 modular, 4 Elektrons, TR & TR909. Then came INJECTED, an exclusive project founded with Trym (@trymofficial) in 2018 for large-scale events. Their first date in Paris was at the Dock Eiffel.

Ringing the alarm with March's podcast is musician Clara Cuvé (@claracuve). Piercing right through these desolate days like a point 50 caliber bullet. Clara Cuvé does not relinquish pace nor energy. Her roots go back to the classical piano in which she was trained since the age of four. Clara's deep love of music naturally leads her to accumulate a record collection throughout the years, which she deploys during her energetic sets ranging from fast and groovy Techno to Breakbeat, Jungle and Hardcore, always focusing on groove and dynamics. After becoming part of the Munich label Stock5 (@stock5) and their monthly event series at Rote Sonne (@rotesonne), she made her way to Berlin, where she became a resident for the infamous event series Mess that took place at OHM and started touring all over the world. In 2020 she released her debut track "Control "on Kobosil's (@kobosil) R-Label Group's first compilation "Sektion 1 ", a hard pounding Techno banger with a haunting voice and mesmerizing synth line.

February's podcast is mixed by one of the most solid, fast-rising French DJ & producers: Pawlowski (@pawlowski). Acid bangers, frenetic moves and collective ecstasy... The words sometimes seem to lack the intensity of certain moments. The sets of the young Pawlowski most certainly are part of those moments. Driven by the desire to propose another vision to the party. Free, unconventional and out of clubs, he founded the Lille based Atmospheяe collective in 2016. thanks to his incredible energy and his residency of the crew, he quickly made a name for himself with his pure old-school style and started to conquer some of the most prominent Parisian warehouses. Deeply attached to the 90s rave culture and its sulfurous acid lines, it’s the joyfully decadent spirit of that time that he seeks to transcribe through his music and manages to release behind the decks: acid techno, hard-trance, retro-jump or happy hardcore. One thing is sure, Pawlowski is determined to return the dancefloor its most primitive energy.

The French fury Ma Čka (@ma-cka) is a techno producer and DJ from Paris. She will be serving January's podcast as part of the studio sessions. "A new cold breath in Industrial Techno." A steep, dark, powerful industrial techno with a meticulously calibrated saturation, integrating singular textures, both cold and fiery. This is how the universe of Ma Čka can be depicted both in her productions and in her DJ sets. From the most underground clubs to titanic hangars and festivals with Dantean scenography, the music of Mekanikal Blooshed’s (@mekanikal_bloodshed) co-founder reflects in every way a scene that ignores the twilight. Ma Čka is a very promising artist and her productions of pure brutality are highly acclaimed by the current techno scene.

From Russia, but without mercy. Recently she debuted on a big V/A vinyl album for the Possession label (@possessiontechno). And now it's time for the December podcast mixed by the relentless Saint-Petersburg based: Varya Karpova (@varyakarpova).

November's podcast is mixed by the radical and new-gen French icon: JKS (@jksmusic). JKS exploded within the French and European techno scene, and it was very early on that the boy co-founded the crucial Molekül label (@molekulpage), which today embodies the revival of a referenced, powerful and solid rave. When it comes time to take action, JKS is uncompromising and never stops making take off more and more big and globalized dancefloors. It is not surprising to see him at major European events such as Boiler Room (@platform) or Possession (@possessiontechno), especially through his live project "Jawbreakers" that he shares with his alter ego Mayeul (@mayeul303). In parallel, he released tracks and vinyl EPs affirming a rave and positive vocal music, placed under the sign of a furious and intoxicating modern dance, with a wide variety of inspirations, which allowed him to build a marked style of his own. After a first solo EP on his label Molekül in 2019, he was recently highlighted by Regal (@regalmusic) on his label "Involve Records" (@involve-records), thus asserting his place within the international scene. Not expecting to slow down any time soon, he especially just created his own label "Smile Sessions" and you can definitely count on him for the decade 2020.

September's podcast is made by Berghain resident and one of the most sharp-cutting Berliners out there: Somewhen (@somewhen). Somewhen is part of Berlin’s new techno generation, which continues to elaborate on the genres’ principal topics by adapting their meanings to a post-modern context. Futurism and nostalgia – two traditional techno themes purposely coming together within the very name of the producer, DJ and label owner: Somewhen describes this uncertain time in the vague future (whenever) as well as the confidence that eventually (sometime) one’s own dreams can be achieved. In 2014, Somewhen not only impressed with the track “Kobalt” featured on his debut EP 9 – his second release (99 EP) on his own label SANA presented a conceptual artist of strong character driven by a sophisticated musical language. It’s not only about the quest to find ornamental or complex melodies that create the distinctive soul of Somewhen’s sound but also about the path he’s been taking thus far. Berlin-born in the mid-80’s, Somewhen initially trained on drums and piano and experimented with hip-hop instrumentals later on. Long before his first record release, he explored the energising potential between beat, groove and melody. Influenced by bands like Depeche Mode and Massive Attack as well as the ubiquitous club culture of Berlin, Somewhen’s sound shifted more decidedly into electronic terrain, especially after training as a sound engineer. From hypnotic repetition to the subtle wealth of detail to his passion for atmospheric soundscapes: Somewhen’s current techno design derives from different sources that all share one common vision through which he’s deliberately positioning himself against one-dimensionality. With his versatile DJ sets, such as his Berghain [@berghain] debut in October 2014, or as a producer (Null EP, Unterton 2016; AFL, Ostgut Ton [@ostgutton-official], 2018), Somewhen has shown that breaking from your own routine can be both: journey and destination at once.
