McCarty Shoot episode 8 features guests Stefan NIte and Chris Colt on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform serving listeners across the region and internationally.
The programme is curated by McCarty Records, an independent label created through a collaboration between music professionals from Europe and the Middle East. The project grew from a long-standing friendship between two people who had already spent years working within different areas of the music industry.
McCarty Records was established with the intention of exploring the broader underground electronic music spectrum rather than concentrating on one narrowly defined style. Its founders built the label around the different branches of modern Techno while giving artists room to move between deeper, melodic and more club-focused material.
As a result, the McCarty Records catalogue includes Techno, Melodic House and Techno, Deep Tech, Minimal and Tech House. The label’s direction combines contemporary underground production with a willingness to support both established names and emerging artists.
The monthly McCarty Shoot series extends that approach into radio, presenting music from the label alongside material from its guests and producers across the international underground scene. Each edition provides a focused selection of current electronic music while giving listeners another route into the artists and releases surrounding McCarty Records.
Episode 8 continues the series with Stefan NIte and Chris Colt joining the programme as guests. Their contributions add further perspectives to a show centred on modern Techno and related underground electronic styles while maintaining the musical identity established by McCarty Records.
Guest DJ Stefan Nite (first hour)
The first guests in this month’s edition are Stefan Nite, a Norwegian DJ and production duo formed by Stefan and Madsen. Their work moves across several electronic styles, with darker Techno and Trance forming an important part of their musical identity.
Their interest in electronic music developed through radio shows featuring artists including Paul van Dyk, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. Those broadcasts introduced them to a broader club and rave culture and encouraged a deeper interest in the music being played across Norway.
As their tastes developed, Stefan Nite became increasingly drawn towards the harder and darker sides of Techno and Trance. That direction became central to both their DJ sets and productions, giving the project a heavier identity than the more melodic material that had first caught their attention.
The duo have since become known within Norway and beyond for sets built around darker electronic music and more forceful club energy. Their approach allows them to move between Techno, Trance and related styles without restricting the project to one narrow genre.
Stefan’s collaboration with Madsen developed after the pair discovered a shared interest in darker, harder electronic music. That common ground led them to begin producing together and eventually establish Stefan Nite as a joint project.
The name combines Stefan’s first name with “Nite”, reflecting the darker character they wanted to bring into the project. Their Beatport catalogue documents their early releases and the development of their production work.
For McCarty Shoot episode 8, Stefan Nite bring that darker approach into the first guest section of the programme. Their contribution adds a harder Techno and Trance influence to an edition already centred on the wider underground electronic music spectrum represented by McCarty Records.
Guest DJ Chris Colt (second hour)
The next guest in this episode is Chris Colt, an Austrian DJ and producer who first developed an interest in electronic music at the age of seventeen. Since beginning his DJ career, he has built a reputation around energetic, dancefloor-focused sets designed to maintain momentum across the night.
Chris began performing around Upper Austria, with early appearances including the Stone Wall Club in Linz. From there, his activity expanded across clubs and events in the region, giving him the opportunity to develop his style through regular live performance.
Over the years, he has shared line-ups with artists including Marika Rossa, Dave Angel, Felix Kröcher and Drumatic. These appearances placed him alongside established names from the Techno scene while helping him strengthen his own position as a club DJ.
Production became a larger part of his work later in his career. His first EP, Rock This House, was released through C47 Digital in 2012 and marked the beginning of a catalogue that would continue to grow across the following years.
His Beatport profile documents releases spanning Peak Time Techno, Tech House and related electronic styles. That studio work reflects the same emphasis on club energy that has shaped his DJ sets.
Listeners can also explore his recorded material through SoundCloud, where further examples of his productions and DJ work are available. His approach combines direct dancefloor impact with a broad interest in contemporary underground electronic music.
For McCarty Shoot episode 8, Chris Colt follows Stefan Nite with another perspective on harder and more club-focused electronic music. His contribution adds Austrian Techno and Tech House influences to a programme built around the wider international sound of McCarty Records.
Stefan Nite opens the first hour of McCarty Shoot Episode 8 with Stephan Woods before his collaboration with Foreign Scientists, "17 Monkeys", establishes an electronic opening that reaches beyond a single techno style. Gnomes Of Kush and Xgenic bring a Trance and Psytrance influence into this early passage, giving Stefan Nite's section a broader psychedelic dimension before two unidentified selections maintain the mystery in the middle of the hour.
Piatto's remix of Tesla's "First Aid" brings the programme back towards Techno, while Chris Drifter's remix of ZRG's "Forget The Past" provides a more melodic Progressive House diversion. Dave Sinner then raises the pressure considerably with "Survival", a driving peak-time cut, before Stefan Nite closes his own section with "Power Cut".
Chris Colt immediately hardens the programme with Teenage Mutants' "Rebirth", followed by ROBPM and Belocca as the second hour settles firmly into Peak Time Techno. Belocca's "Flower Of Life", MANSHN and Charles D's "Twenty Twenty", UMEK with Mha Iri on "Watchers Of The Sky" and Popof with Space 92's "Insomnia" are all built around the direct, driving techno energy that defines this section of the show.
The YellowHeads' remix of "Power Mind", Roel Salemink's treatment of Marco V and the closing run through Stray Beast, Celic with Tony Romanello and Ozzy Sahin maintain the tougher club focus without returning to the more psychedelic movement of Stefan Nite's first hour. The resulting episode has a pronounced upward curve, beginning with trance, progressive and techno crossover before Chris Colt takes over with a concentrated final hour of peak-time, darker and harder techno.
