Rotterdam-via-Berlin based outlet reuniting underground purveyors across the globe as they methodically scan and showcase various nerve centers from the techno ...
Hailing from our home city of Rotterdam, local player and modular
sound first-lady Megan Leber turns up in RYC's weekly series with two
hybrid hours spanning off-kilter rhythmic experiments and atmospheric
breakaways. Through her vividly textured tapestries and shape-shifting
sonic explorations, the STOOR affiliate weaves moments of grace and
tension with effortless poise, easing us into her idiosyncratically deep
and pulsating headspace via intuitive routes and hypnotic bypaths.
Leave all expectations at the door and let Leber's sizzling pool of raw,
unadulterated sonic material soak up to the last drop of energy
available and turn it into the most volatile fuel for raving. Mesmeric
to the full.

Reclaim Your City 632 | Sunil Sharpe
For some time now, Irish DJ and producer Sunil Sharpe has been honing
(no pun intended) his skills as a formidable floor destroyer, putting
out a string of memorable burners for the likes of Works The Long
Nights, BPitch, MORD or his own imprint, Earwiggle. Delivering his
implacable two-hour missive through blends of breaks-laden rhythms,
frenzied machine talk and murky, weatherbeaten ambiences, Sunil Sharpe
boggles the mind and knocks senses askew, not letting loose on his
astonished prey - understand the odd raver bracing themselves for the
blast incoming. Unless they’ve already bashed their skull in the
system’s facade and got to taste the visceral high of sound flowing
through their body. You think it’s an image, but the man is a
literalist.

Reclaim Your City 631 | Arthur Robert Live
Back in the series with a special hour-and-a-half-long live set,
fellow RYC alum Arthur Robert graces us with a mix that best exemplifies
his cosmonautical approach to production, flush with alien-engineered
sounds and sci-fi-indebted atmospheres. Like traversing a dynamic hall
of mirrors and prisms, distorting our cognitive scope to hypnotic
effect, Robert’s mix is a maze of fast swiveling grooves and bubbling,
modular-like reflections. If you like your techno both hi-velocity and
uncompromisingly trippy, Robert’s blends extrapolate the finest of
galloping techno and outer-spacey poetics, birthing the kind of
transporting narrative that’ll sooth your nerves from the daily
heartbreak we’ve come to process as an integral part of our lives.

Reclaim Your City 630 | Bas Mooy
More than just MORD boss and a direct neighbour, both musically and
geographically speaking, Bas Mooy is a longstanding friend to us, as
well as a figure we truly look up to. Whether found pushing back the
boundaries of the techno sound through his vanguard-minded imprint or
teleporting dance floors to the 4th dimension with no turning back, Bas
holds on to his quality-driven methods to deliver music and moments that
transcend both time and space. Up with three hours of sprawling techno
heat that runs the gamut from proper big-room artillery to
abstract-leaning bravura, through strapping peak-time nemesis and
dystopian raw power, here goes Mooy with the wildest instance of his 360
vision when it comes to blazing new paths and setting future directions
for the genre. Weapon of mass instruction.

Reclaim Your City 629 | Mathys Lenne
Responsible for a handful of head-turning releases via the likes of
MORD, Hayes and Float Records this past couple of years, on-the-rise
techno producer Mathys Lenne clocks in our series with a mindtrip
that’ll knock your socks off. Championing a sound both deep-diving,
rugged and hi-intensity thru and thru, the Frenchman treats us to a
storm of steely firepower and post-apocalyptic brainwaves. His mix of
cerebral wares and shape-shifting, industrial-informed machine talk
takes us straight back to the heyday of raving, when the sound we all
love was not just a merchandise, but meant a whole new perspective on
the world as we knew it.
