Reclaim Your City Reclaim Your City

A legend of the hardcore sound and true homie of the RYC clique, Miro Pajic alias MSDMNR has been etching his name in the pantheon of the rave sound classics in gold letters for the past 30 years or so, and good news is he’s not quite done fending off IG-borne leeches and wannabes. Under his MSDMNR alias, through which he's repurposed his sound to deliver more complex and moody techno dynamics, Miro conjures up the finest of pulsating hi-tech electronics and haunting soundscapes to whelm us under an avalanche of shape-shifting modulations, future-facing narratives and untiringly massive big-room pound. Bend your mind.  

Merchant of feral-minded, steel-clad floor wares harboured by some of the finest imprints out there including Token and SK_eleven, in addition to his own outlet, Observer Station, Fuse resident Altinbas takes over the RYC broadcast with an explosive two-hour ride fusing pure raging uptempo arson and highly trenchant, indus-oriented machine funk. Blast it out full force and let the trippy winds of primitive drums patterns, 909-fuelled obsession and dubbed-out 4x4 mystique alter your senses durably, for the spirit of rave shines high and bright above us. Total heater of a mix, you’ve been warned.

Author of three massive iterations on SK_eleven since the drop of his debut instalment on the label in 2021, New York DJ and producer Holden Federico aka 90s Techno Redux undoubtedly counts as one of the North-American scene's most exciting talents. Herald of a style both elegantly timeless and straight out propulsive, Holden turns in a textbook example of his adroitly combined sense of selection and mixing. Prepare for two hours of frantic uptempo assault and minutely designed tech-scapes, where no-nonsense big room firepower collides with stripped-down brutalism and an elevated touch of post-industrial sophistication. Going hard.  

Up with a vibrant delivery that ticks all the boxes of the music we love, here, at RYC, please welcome Tauceti, a Lyon-based DJ and producer with plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Exploring the confines of techno and ambient through complex and highly evocative tableaux, Tauceti has been making waves thanks to her impeccably engineered sets, merging elements from askew, acid-drenched machine funk with more straightforward 4x4 buildups, all eyes on setting dance floors ablaze. Her fiercely precise mixing skills, combined with grade A selections and a sixth sense for amping up the tension to thriller-like levels, undeniably make the French artist a talent to keep an eye on. Hear it, feel it.  

Expert pusher of intrusively mental wares and kaleidoscopic audio scenarios, Refracted has been laying the foundation to a truly solid body of work, punctuated with releases for Bitta, Polegroup and his own imprint, Mind Express. From serene, stripped-down ambiences to churning material from the deep, his blends conjure up the best of textural immersion and rhythmic out-thereness, constantly expanding the scope with every bar. Enter a world of sunken minimalism, that won’t fail to evoke Basic Channel and Moritz von Oswald’s seminal dub techno idioms, but complete with its own hypnotic appeal and highly addictive grammar.  

Actively trading big-room narratives for the past fifteen years, London’s Vinicius Honorio boasts a solid 20-ish EPs for some of the best techno labels out there, including choice contributions to Blueprint, Planet Rhythm, Modularz, and his most recent sortie, ‘Endless Love’, freshly out via Len Faki’s Figure imprint. Merchant of paced-up, peak-time tonics bound to wreak havoc from the basement up, Honorio champions a sound Infused in steely industrialism and sci-fi-inflected escapology, built to have the woofers screaming in ecstasy. Rave the stress away.
