Reclaim Your City

Actively pushing back the borders of techno language for the past
fifteen years, German DJ and producer Thomas Hessler chose to relocate
to Tbilisi, Georgia a few years ago and given the current state of the
local scene, there is little wonder why. Tireless provider of equally
hard-hitting and cerebral grooves that have taken him to play the best
stages out there including Berghain, Fabric, Bassiani and Tresor,
Hessler’s name has become synonymous with stunt-filled, hi-octane sets
and productions that operate in the gap between kevlar-coated payload,
mind-bending loops and raging sub-bass drive. Expect a fiery,
laser-precise deluge of ultra-dynamic psychedelia and rattling machine
funk. No surrender.

All the way from Colombia, Zemög turns up in our weekly podcast series
with a vengeance. Explosive and sharp, this two-hour salvo summons a
versatile array of floor-busting ordnance: from acid-soaked heaters to
atmospheric escapology, through proto-techno chuggers and non-formulaic,
abstract-leaning grooves. Boasting a deft hand for these full-immersion
sorties into techno deep space, this mix swings the pendulum betwixt
laser-like engineering and eerily synthetic emotion, beckoning us onto
the path of total subjugation in a near-somnambular state. Channeling
energies and brainwaves like a puppeteer, here’s Zemög with the
trance-inducing hoodoo. Don’t sleep.

Punching in with a two-hour round of deep sonic immersion,
Rome-via-Berlin up-and-comer Costanza steps in to serve up a glimpse of
her highly eclectic, boundary-pushing artistic headspace. Operating at
the confines of atmospheric techno and further leftfield-leaning
electronics, Costanza has been laying the foundation to a rivetingly
profound body of work, extrapolating the functional requirements of
dance floor maneuvering into the realm of pure sound-borne elevation. A
true herald of techno quality expressing herself through stripped-down
introspective pieces, here she goes with a deep, mesmeric dive into her
ominous and highly intoxicating soundscapes. Blast it out loud.

Up this week in our podcast series, Argentinian DJ and producer Pulso
steps up with a two-hour ride spanning dark, brooding floor material and
verbed-out oddities. Championing a sound both unremittingly abrasive
and truly hypnotic, sitting at the junction of hard-hitting big room
ballistics and abstract-leaning dub groovers, Pulso dishes out a
masterclass in trippy, pulsating sonic tapestries. Wild rhythms and
sci-fi-informed atmospheres coalesce in a furnace-hot environment, all
set at triggering off the crowd’s most buried raving instincts. Expect a
suspenseful workout of a set, rife with massive twists and turns.
Fiery!

Hailing from the lands of ‘Nordic swamp psychedelica’ as he likes to
call it, Finnish DJ and producer Kaspiann fractures his way into our
weekly podcast series with a special hour-and-a-half-long sonic rodeo
spanning frosted hi-tech minimalistic architectures, playful
polyrhythmic debauchery and further genre-unbound incursions into icy
proto-futuristic territories. Unleashing a vibrant outpour of
experimental-leaning rollers, jagged zero-G maneuvers and straight out
effusive dubs from down deep, Kaspiann beckons us on the path of sheer
multi-sensory abandon and inescapable full body & soul immersion
throughout. Expect a deluge of heavily textured envelopes, polychromatic
fractals and tribal folk-informed percussive hoodoo to wrap your ears
around at various tempi and in various configurations. Monster
versatility, monster execution, monster impact.
