Get plunged into the deepest strains of modern techno

Taiwan’s Diskonnected is an artist who represents the vitality at the heart of the electronic music scene in Taipei. Since 2010 he has been one of the key figures involved in Smoke Machine, the collective involved in events such as Organik Festival and a highly respected podcast series. Smoke Machine in Tokyo boasts a fantastic line-up of cerebral techno.

Neel has built up a formidable reputation through a decidedly understated approach. Whether dealing in ambient music or floor-focused techno, his approach obsesses over minute details embedded in a subtle but effective whole. His solo work and collaborations with Donato Dozzy are at the forefront of modern deep techno.

Valentino Mora represents a new generation building on the template laid out by the likes of Neel and Dozzy. Mora takes the smoky, dubbed out sound and imbues it with dynamic percussion that makes for a concoction all his own. Through his self-released material on IDO and a 12” on Neel’s Spazio Disponibile he’s become an essential artist to watch.

Swiss producer Agonis completes the line-up with a delicate sound that speaks to melodious positivity as much as woozy meditation – the perfect foil to the misty dream narratives expounded by the other artists on this essential bill.
