Skream, Morcheeba, Christian Hornbostel, Frankie Knuckles, Sven Vath and Kitaro are also among the artists cited as influences on his musical approach.
At the time of publication, support from listeners worldwide and industry figures had led to collaborations with Visiomind Records in Vienna. It also preceded projects with Mechanic and Tropic Records in Mexico City for a Deep House and Progressive track.
The December 2020 selection moves through Hard Techno and peak-time material, with a progressive-house touch. It includes Coyu’s We Live In A World Full Of Rage, Alex Stein’s Speed of Light and Three Drives On A Vinyl’s Greece 2000 in the Thick as Thieves Extended Mix.
Originally broadcast on 12 December 2020, DJ Psy Inertia’s show 3 podcast on Scientific Sound Asia opens with Casual Treatment’s Floating Bundles on Pollen. Its Electronica opening gives way to Reggy Van Oers’ Place of Connect on Affin and Crossing Avenue’s Malandra on Spazio Disponibile, bringing in peak-time and raw, deep, hypnotic techno textures.
Soseol’s Black Out on Davotab sharpens the peak-time techno direction before Alex Bau’s Press, in Mark Broom’s Repaint, appears on Credo. Plasmic Shape’s Project Clear Vision on Complex Textures, Andres Gil’s Dykkon Remix of Scene on Devotion Records and Alquimista’s Walking to Infinity on Refluxed Records sustain the pressure.
Mattia Trani’s Donato Dozzy Remix of Collider on Uncage returns to raw, deep and hypnotic techno, followed by Tom Hades’ Hush and Sleep Remix of Goya on Loose Records. CJ Bolland and The Advent’s Enrico Sangiuliano Remix of Camargue 2019 on Drumcode brings the set into a more direct techno register before Coyu’s Clarke At The Loft 2005 on Suara.
Quench’s UMEK Version of Dreams on 1605 precedes Alex Stein’s Speed of Light on Terminal M, the programme’s main-floor Trance moment. David Sellers’ Last Hope on Renesanz and Three Drives On A Vinyl’s Thick as Thieves Extended Mix of Greece 2000 on Armada Music then lead into Metodi Hristov’s Nova on Octopus Records.
Patrik Berg’s Beyond Control on Variety Music and Chris Veron’s Push It Dream on Say What restore the peak-time techno focus. Ignacio Arfeli’s Desttoyed on Codex Recordings is followed by Natalino Nunes’ Blackout on Unity Records and DJ Jordan and Droplex’s In-depth Remix of Driving Force on AUTEKTONE DARK.
DJ Dextro’s Rave On on Suara and i_o and Raito’s Don’t Stop on Mau5trap set up the final stretch. Kai Tracid and Ramon Tapia’s 303 State on Say What?, Coyu’s We Live In A World Full Of Rage on Suara and Michael Klein’s Der Sturm Kommt on Second State close the show with a firm techno finish.
