Live - Japau at Club BASIS

Thank you, Jan, for sharing the live recording of your last gig at BASIS with us. You have been an incredible inspiration over the past two years. Your well-curated sets helped us survive the worst times during the pandemic. Plus, they allowed us to discover many great underground artists. Seeing you play at nightclubs all over Europe and people being able to enjoy your madness in nightclubs makes us smile. Using your set to kick off our new podcast series is incredibly fitting. Again, thank you for all the love and support everyone received from you, including us. 🫶🏽 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/japau 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 https://www.instagram.com/japau__ 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 https://bandcamp.com/japau

Pandemic chronicles - Beheader

We have been looking forward to this set very-fucking-much. We came across BEHEĀDER's music only recently, but it was love at the first sound. Few people in the past decade grabbed our attention so violently yet gently. Each track of his seems a love letter to what extend human perception can be f****d with. Most importantly, his music makes us smile. We also had the opportunity to chat and discovered an incredibly talented, thoughtful, kind, and kinky human being. 😈 We're extremely grateful for his contribution to our project. We hope you will enjoy his mental set and the interview as much as we do. A big hug and kiss from both of us. 🤗😘 We can't wait to see your basement.

Pandemic chronicles - Pärpsy

This is a much-anticipated set. We have enjoyed exchanging with Pärpsy for several months now, and we loved every interaction. He is kind and funny, and he is incredibly well in touch with the techno scene within Iran and outside. Thank you for all the great recommendations and the insight into Iranian techno culture. We hope we will find an opportunity soon to visit you and all the other incredible artists we had the pleasure to collaborate with to party in Iran. A massive hug and thanks for all the memes, lovely interactions, your continuous support, and this incredible set. Much love from us. 🥰😘 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/parpsy 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 www.instagram.com/parsa_rl

Pandemic chronicles - Raxeller

Today we have a unique gem to share. Raxeller was played in a few of the sets we received over the past year, and we understand why. His tracks have a filthy and fulfilling industrial sound. We had the pleasure to chat this morning and are thrilled that he decided to participate in our project. Love from both of us for your incredible musical contribution over the past year. 🤗😈 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 www.instagram.com/raxeller 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 https://raxeller.bandcamp.com

Pandemic chronicles - Japau

JAPAU has found his way into our playlist in early 2021 by leaving a cheeky comment on a WNDRLST set. Since then, he has dominated our playlist, and his mad sets have given structure to our long workdays. He was the first artist we heard that managed 150 bpm or more without sounding like a lunatic at the peak of his amphetamine binge. His label PA•RA•DO•XON 030, was one of the first we reached out to, and we are thrilled that he has agreed to contribute to our project. He will be part of the first event in a series that we have planned. We would also like to thank him for always being there for us when we have technical questions, treating us with kindness, and embracing our madness. We hope you enjoy his set as much as we do. 🔥😈♥️⛓ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/japau 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 https://www.instagram.com/japau__ 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 https://bandcamp.com/japau

Pandemic chronicles - Bertman

We start our pandemic chronicles podcast with Bertman. He holds a unique place in our hearts since he was one of the last persons we got to hear perform live. He is the resident DJ of the magnificent Spazio 900, one of the most epic and memorable nightclubs in Roma's Eur district. He also played during Cosmo's 2019 Capodanno (New Years) and Cosmo's 2020 Fuori orario (after party). The latter is one of Rome's biggest raves, hosting the best lineup of the techno scene. This event alone is worth visiting the city. People from all over the country meet in the capital to spend two nights celebrating the best Italian techno culture has to offer. We thank Luis for taking the time to answer our questions and providing us with a solid set, characterised by its typical Italian flow and smoothness. Listening to it makes us feel melancholic. However, it also allows us to look forward to the near future, celebrating a weekend in Spazio 900, listening to Bertman live again.

Pandemic chronicles - HeizÖL

We thank HeizÖL for making the time to record this podcast and take our call for the interview. His sets have been part of our work playlist since the beginning of 2021, and we couldn't do without them. We fell as much in love with his sound as we did with his attitude to the culture he is part of creating. He represents a new generation of artists revitalising the German underground techno scene with hard-hitting, driving, dark sounds. Behind his music stands the idea that techno provides an inclusive, non-judgmental, non-commercial, and safe space for everyone. ✊🏽 He is also part of Dopaminmangel Events, which promotes artist from all over Germany. We hope you enjoy this set as much as we do. ♥️ 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/heizoel 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 https://www.instagram.com/_heizoel_

Resident series - Japau (season one)

A big thank you to Japau for creating this 160-bpm madness. We recommend sitting down for the best listening experience, buckling up your straightjacket’s safety straps, switching off the lights, and adjusting the volume to 95 dB. Alternative options may lead to different results. In case of additional questions, please consult Your Local Vocal Dealer and ask for Alice. 🕳🐇 We wish you a pleasant journey. 😈 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/japau 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 www.instagram.com/japau__

Pandemic chronicles - CHLAMYDIA

Thank you, CHLAMYDIA, for being such an incredible human being. You have been a significant part of our lives during the pandemic and continue to do so. A few people are as kind, witty, lovely, slutty, and flat-out mad as you are. You have captured our hearts and enriched our lives, showing us that there a more like-minded people. You make us laugh, and you make us stand still and remind us why we are nihilistic anarchists. We love every exchange with you and can't wait to spend some time IRL. Enough of the love letter, and a massive thanks for the entertaining interview. It means that you took the time for us and others to share what moved you. We also appreciate the incredible set, it had our heart from day one, and we're grateful we get to share this gem with the community. It is pure fucking madness that stirs up our soul, well-choreographed into something that makes sense to our ears. Much love from Lea and myself for you as a person and everything you stand for, as well as your madness as an incredibly talented artist. ❤️‍🔥 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 https://soundcloud.com/itschlamydia 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 www.instagram.com/itschlamydia

Pandemic chronicles - Ayako Mori

We came across Ayako’s Music recently, one of her Gegen Berlin sets, and were taken by it immediately. We learned that we lived in Ireland during the same time and also in Germany, Aachen. Thus, it is surprising that we never crossed paths in the past. 😂 We’re thrilled when she agreed to collaborate on our project since there is so much to love about Ayako’s music. She notably won our hearts when we learned how much time and energy she puts in promoting emerging artists and how heavily she is involved in the queer scene. Did we mention how brilliant her tracks and sets are? 😜 We can’t wait to hear her perform live and marvel at her concentrated face, and maybe glimpsing a nod towards her CDJ when the machine does what she intended it to do. Thank you, Ayako, for the incredibly well-curated set and thoughtful interview.
