It's time for an August podcast by the Copenhagen based Sugar (@sugar_fastforward). Deep, minimal but mostly hard-hitting. Sugar is besides being a founding member of the Fast Forward Productions & Agency (@fastforwardproductions) a techno artist, whose artistic focus leans toward rolling deep and pounding grooves, atmospheric and eerie ambiences, emotional (dis)harmony and melodies, and a constant development in sound design, also searching the field of breakbeats and experimental electronic music. Sugar is releasing his music with prominent contemporary record-labels like Euromantic (@politeandcourteous), Kulør (@kulorco), KAOS (@hectoroaks), Blue Hour music (@bluehour909), Mama told ya (@mamatoldya), his own recently launched label Perfumery (@perfumery_recordings), and has an upcoming EP on Bassiani Records (@bassiani).

After some enervating weeks, it's now time for something delightful. We welcome the amazing Herrensauna founder for late July's podcast: CEM (@cemdukkha) with a groovy, penetrating, yet smooth mix. CEM's unique brand of emotive hysteria was forged in Herrensauna's (@herrensauna) hedonistic Berlin furnace in the last few years and as one of the party's two core members, he has been at the heart of the operations since its inception. With the party attracting more and more attention for its critical contribution to Berlin's queer community, as well as their raw italo-metal aesthetic, the opportunity came to move into Tresor (@tresorberlin), where it has cemented its place as a unique addition to Berlin's nocturnal topography. CEM's role in all this is twofold—firstly, as curator of the party's unique mix of frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances; and secondly, as one of the resident DJs. The sheer pace of Herrensauna's preferred grade of techno is offset by his enigmatic presence and selection. It's a crucial edge of the party, and it's rightfully brought CEM to the world's attention.

Roughing things up with early June's podcast is the Berlin DJ/Producer: Non Reversible (@non-reversible) with some deep hypnotic and raw banging techno cuts. Since Non Reversible's discography has grown with standout, he released on labels like Soma (@soma), ARTS (@artsltd), Animal Farm (@animal-farm) and others. In 2019 he started his own Imprint called 'Non Reversible Structures' (@nonreversiblestructures) to implementing his vision and signature sound. His sets have constant deep and thriving moods with organic textures and fluctuate between hypnotic rhythms and dark mind-blowing emotions with hard-hitting industrial percussions. He's played in clubs such as Rote Sonne (@rotesonne), Institut für Zukunft, Le Zoo (@le-zoo-official) and in Berlin‘s mythical places such as Tresor (@tresorberlin), Griessmuehle (@revier_suedost) and KitKat Club. As Non Reversible continues to spread his creative wings, expect nothing less than powerful unapologetic Techno.

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.
