This week's McCarty Shoot, presented by McCarty Records, features guest appearances from Ali Pink and Pablo Patch. Scientific Sound Asia, an underground radio station, music news outlet, DJ agency, and promoter with a global audience in the Asian region, continues to expand its platform with innovative electronic programming.


McCarty Records was created through a creative partnership between Europe and the Middle East, stemming from a long-standing friendship between two dedicated music enthusiasts with extensive industry experience. By combining their expertise and vision, they launched McCarty Records as a new platform for contemporary underground music.


From the beginning, the label adopted a broad and open-minded approach to the Techno spectrum. Committed to independence and innovation, McCarty Records releases music across various sub-genres, including Techno, Melodic Techno, Deep Tech, Minimal, and Tech House.


Through McCarty Shoot, the label will provide a monthly selection of meticulously curated releases, showcasing their own productions alongside guest contributions and standout tracks from the wider international Techno scene. The show aims to highlight emerging talent while reinforcing McCarty Records’ commitment to diverse and evolving underground electronic music.

Ali Pink is a veteran Iranian DJ, producer and label owner from Tehran who represents one of the earlier generations of the country's electronic music movement. Born in the late 1970s, he has played an important role in supporting underground electronic music in Iran while helping connect Middle Eastern artists with international audiences.


He began his professional DJ career in 2009, developing a sound rooted in techno and underground electronic culture. Through years of experience, Ali Pink became known not only as a selector but also as an advocate for the region's growing electronic music community.


In 2017, he launched Techno Tehran, a platform dedicated to discovering talented DJs and producers while building a community based on friendship, creativity and musical quality. The project later evolved into Techno Tehran Records, which has grown into one of the most respected electronic music labels in the Middle East and has established a presence far beyond the region.


Through Techno Tehran and its label activities, Ali Pink has remained committed to supporting independent artists and helping Middle Eastern producers gain greater international recognition. The project focuses on promoting genuine talent, encouraging collaboration and contributing to the continued development of electronic music culture throughout the region.


By combining music with a strong sense of community, Ali Pink and Techno Tehran continue to provide a platform for underground artists while strengthening connections between Middle Eastern electronic music and the wider global scene.

Guest DJ Pablo Patch.


Pablo Patch is a Mexican DJ and producer whose sound has been shaped by nearly two decades within the country's underground electronic music scene. Since establishing himself in central Mexico in 2007, he has developed a distinctive approach influenced by techno, house, rock and a wide range of electronic subgenres, maintaining a strong sense of individuality throughout his work.


His reputation has steadily grown through appearances at clubs and events across Mexico City and throughout the country, helping establish him as one of the more recognised names within the central Mexican underground scene. Known for preserving his musical identity while constantly evolving, Pablo Patch has remained committed to a sound built around atmosphere, groove and originality.


Drawing influence from Acid Techno, Deep House, Dub Techno and Minimal, his sets move fluidly between styles while maintaining a cohesive and hypnotic character. This combination of influences allows him to create journeys that balance deeper textures with driving rhythms and dancefloor energy.


Recent releases on McCarty Records highlight the breadth of his productions. Tracks such as Fortune Wheel and Nothing To Say explore Raw / Deep / Hypnotic Techno through restrained grooves and immersive atmospheres, while Do You Remember and Into Your Head move towards Tech House with more direct rhythmic structures. His remix of Eleven by Tetractys further demonstrates his ability to reinterpret material while preserving his own sonic identity.


With a career spanning almost two decades, Pablo Patch continues to combine deep underground influences with a personal approach to DJing and production. His music reflects both the diversity of his inspirations and the originality that has defined his presence within Mexico's electronic music scene since 2007.


Ali Pink opens the first hour with a measured, atmospheric approach, Soul Button's Metamorphosis on Steyoyoke establishing the Melodic House and Techno tone immediately. Senses Of Mind's Once In A Lifetime and the Soul Button and Monarke collaboration Pantheon continue in the same vein before Dizharmonia's Democritus on Prototype Music brings a slightly harder, more driving edge to proceedings. Giorgia Angiuli's All The Little Things in Undercatt's remix for Eleatics Records then softens the mood again, the Italian artist's vocal warmth cutting through the remix's more structured dancefloor architecture.


Agustin Empathy's Consciousness, Losless's Away and Fat Cosmoe's Places with MAE (IT) carry the hour forward through its middle section, the selections staying close to the melodic underground while gradually building in energy. Monarke's Milestone provides another anchor point before DJ AroZe's Tradecraft in the Matchy Remix shifts the texture slightly, and Arude and Strinner's Aurora brings the first hour to a close with a sense of measured resolution.


Pablo Pitch takes over for the second hour and immediately loosens the framework, Wolf+Lamb's After We're Gone in the Pablo Patch Remix opening at a more groove-led, Tech House-adjacent register. CJ Jeff and Andrew Meller's The Morning After, Tetractys's Little Devil and Animal Print's The Last Night Of Laura Palmer sustain that direction before Rob Van Hell's Drill Mechanics in the Dadgar Remix reconnects the set with McCarty Records' tougher sensibility. Emanuel Satie's Zombie Love in the Groove Armada Dubathon from VIVa Music brings a dub-inflected Tech House quality that sits apart from the more polished selections either side of it.


Pablo Patch's own Nothing To Say and Britta Arnold's Picolina pull the second hour back into deeper, more spacious House Music territory, while John Tejada's Prelude To Madness serves as one of the more considered selections of the set, the Los Angeles producer's Minimal Tech sensibility providing a brief but effective contrast. DJ Lancy's Dropping and Dario D'Attis and Jinadu's Space And Time in the Extended Spoken Mix on Defected close the hour with warmth and genuine groove, the Jinadu vocal lending the final moments of McCarty Shoot Episode 5 a weight that the harder selections earlier never quite aimed for.
