Reclaim Your City 637 | DJ Sodeyama
31 mars 2025 |
min
Over two decades of unfaltering devotion to production and DJing,
dishing out some of the finest slices of opulently textured techno along
the way, Tokyo-based maestro DJ Sodeyama has been honing a sound
signature both intricately hypnotic and boundary-pushing. Blending
delicate melodic strains of electronics ranging from deep, ambient music
to verbed-out, atmospheric techno, often laced with hints of jazz and
soulful discoid expressions, his productions and mixes combine the
satiny elegance of loungey daydream with that of more rugged,
deep-diving dubs a la Basic Channel. From light to shade, and
vice-versa, DJ Sodeyama builds pieces of music where the ever-changing
lighting and shifting angles swath you in an oddly comforting headspace.
A most fascinating trip for the body and soul.
Reclaim Your City 636 | Mary Lake
24 mars 2025 |
min
Lacking no oomph, the mixes of Amsterdam’s one and only Mary Lake
tick all the boxes of a quality hi-NRG set. Boasting a definite knack
for those volatile hotchpotches of big-room-ready jack and a surgical
DJing skillset, Mary treats us to a frantic whirlwind of paced-up
machine funk and absolutely imparable industrial-inflected maneuvers.
Cranking the heat one notch up with every bar, the Dutch DJ certainly
knows how to bring dance floors to a simmer and keep crowds under her
spell through wave after wave of an uncompromising floor-destroying
exposé. No-surrender, adrenaline-stacked ripper of a mix thru and thru,
consider yourselves warned for the tumultuous ride ahead. Hectic.
Reclaim Your City 635 | Konduku
17 mars 2025 |
min
Having made a name for himself through a string of choice releases
for the likes of Nous’klaer and Delsin, Dutch producer Konduku has been
turning heads with his ever innovative take on the techno medium.
Pushing for new directions, Konduku’s been laying down intriguing blends
of dubbed-out, Afro-infused grooves and plural strains of
abstract-leaning, breaks-friendly hybrids. The present mix showcases the
breadth of his influences and essential components, extrapolating
techno’s genre-transcending nature through a fine mix of heavily
verbed-out electronics and shape-shifting buildup, never quite going
where you’d expect it, rather seeking the excitement of suspenseful arcs
and unsuspected developments. Bold as it should.
Reclaim Your City 634 | Robin Kampschoer
10 mars 2025 |
min
Blasting his way into our series this week, Dutch producer Robin
Kampschoer revs up the engines and lifts us off to higher spheres of
consciousness through two hours of chiselled post-industrial sound
engineering. Exploring the confines of techno, somewhere at the junction
of proper raw, steely rhythms and further elevated ambience-scaping,
the RKM boss and STOOR alum swings the pendulum betwixt full-blown
warehouse-ready assault and inward-gazing escapism effortlessly.
Elegantly brutalist, his approach is both one of nuance and impact,
exalting and pensive in equal measure, never flinching in its quest for
the sweet spot between raging horsepower and nostalgia-soaked harmonics.
Reclaim Your City 633 | Megan Leber
3 mars 2025 |
min
Hailing from our home city of Rotterdam, local player and modular
sound first-lady Megan Leber turns up in RYC's weekly series with two
hybrid hours spanning off-kilter rhythmic experiments and atmospheric
breakaways. Through her vividly textured tapestries and shape-shifting
sonic explorations, the STOOR affiliate weaves moments of grace and
tension with effortless poise, easing us into her idiosyncratically deep
and pulsating headspace via intuitive routes and hypnotic bypaths.
Leave all expectations at the door and let Leber's sizzling pool of raw,
unadulterated sonic material soak up to the last drop of energy
available and turn it into the most volatile fuel for raving. Mesmeric
to the full.
Reclaim Your City 632 | Sunil Sharpe
24 februari 2025 |
min
For some time now, Irish DJ and producer Sunil Sharpe has been honing
(no pun intended) his skills as a formidable floor destroyer, putting
out a string of memorable burners for the likes of Works The Long
Nights, BPitch, MORD or his own imprint, Earwiggle. Delivering his
implacable two-hour missive through blends of breaks-laden rhythms,
frenzied machine talk and murky, weatherbeaten ambiences, Sunil Sharpe
boggles the mind and knocks senses askew, not letting loose on his
astonished prey - understand the odd raver bracing themselves for the
blast incoming. Unless they’ve already bashed their skull in the
system’s facade and got to taste the visceral high of sound flowing
through their body. You think it’s an image, but the man is a
literalist.
Reclaim Your City 631 | Arthur Robert Live
17 februari 2025 |
min
Back in the series with a special hour-and-a-half-long live set,
fellow RYC alum Arthur Robert graces us with a mix that best exemplifies
his cosmonautical approach to production, flush with alien-engineered
sounds and sci-fi-indebted atmospheres. Like traversing a dynamic hall
of mirrors and prisms, distorting our cognitive scope to hypnotic
effect, Robert’s mix is a maze of fast swiveling grooves and bubbling,
modular-like reflections. If you like your techno both hi-velocity and
uncompromisingly trippy, Robert’s blends extrapolate the finest of
galloping techno and outer-spacey poetics, birthing the kind of
transporting narrative that’ll sooth your nerves from the daily
heartbreak we’ve come to process as an integral part of our lives.

10 februari 2025 |
min
More than just MORD boss and a direct neighbour, both musically and
geographically speaking, Bas Mooy is a longstanding friend to us, as
well as a figure we truly look up to. Whether found pushing back the
boundaries of the techno sound through his vanguard-minded imprint or
teleporting dance floors to the 4th dimension with no turning back, Bas
holds on to his quality-driven methods to deliver music and moments that
transcend both time and space. Up with three hours of sprawling techno
heat that runs the gamut from proper big-room artillery to
abstract-leaning bravura, through strapping peak-time nemesis and
dystopian raw power, here goes Mooy with the wildest instance of his 360
vision when it comes to blazing new paths and setting future directions
for the genre. Weapon of mass instruction.
Reclaim Your City 629 | Mathys Lenne
3 februari 2025 |
min
Responsible for a handful of head-turning releases via the likes of
MORD, Hayes and Float Records this past couple of years, on-the-rise
techno producer Mathys Lenne clocks in our series with a mindtrip
that’ll knock your socks off. Championing a sound both deep-diving,
rugged and hi-intensity thru and thru, the Frenchman treats us to a
storm of steely firepower and post-apocalyptic brainwaves. His mix of
cerebral wares and shape-shifting, industrial-informed machine talk
takes us straight back to the heyday of raving, when the sound we all
love was not just a merchandise, but meant a whole new perspective on
the world as we knew it.
Reclaim Your City 628 | Juana
27 januari 2025 |
min
Final mix of January comes courtesy of Chicago-born, Washington
DC-based one and only Juana. Championing a sound both highly energetic
and firmly contemporary, the American DJ and producer has us working out
with every bar. From strapping 4x4 charges to gut-churning brain
intruders, onto experimental-leaning glides and further esoteric drifts,
Juana’s dance floor hoodoo is as bewitching as it is deadly. Spanning
harsh industrial, rough-hewn proto-techno and lo-slung machine funk, her
RYC mix ticks all the boxes of a grade-A puzzler, eyes constantly set
on that next killer loop that’ll get the crowd veering off into pure
XTC.
Reclaim Your City 627 | Vincent Neumann
20 januari 2025 |
min
Psychotherapist by day, mind-hacker by night, here comes Leipzig’s
Vincent Neumann with two hours of widely versatile techno and
electronics. All in jagged dynamics and hi-NRG propulsion, Neumann’s mix
is an ode to old-school raving, back when the DJ’s name was of no
importance but the flow of the music itself was all that mattered, or
when the true spirit of techno rhymed with riotous communion and a new
horizon of possibilities, not some ultra fast-fashion side issue. The
result is a fiery jaunt across some of those balls-out anthems old and
new that got people converging from all around the country onto secret
places, eager to let the socio-political frustration of their age out,
regardless of how the norm thought of them. A manifesto-like set to play
out loud and share around.
Reclaim Your City 626 | Mary Yuzovskaya
13 januari 2025 |
min
Next up in our series, we’re excited to welcome Mary Yuzovskaya, a DJ
and producer whose surgical sense of the groove and love for minimal
sound structures have become trademarks over the years. At the helm of
her own record label, Monday Off, Mary puts in the same precision and
effort she dishes out through all of her vinyl-only DJ sets.
Stripped-back and highly cerebral, her style sits at the junction of
heavily dubbed-out psychedelia, liquid abstraction and
post-industrialism, and this mix doesn’t differ. Enter Yuzovskaya’s mazy
new vinyl exclusive mix with crumbs of bread in your pocket and some
red thread, for we’re yet to know where the labyrinth ends. But does it
even have an end?
Reclaim Your City 625 | Wata Igarashi
6 januari 2025 |
min
Kicking off 2025 in the best company as Tokyo-born, Amsterdam-based
don Wata Igarashi takes over with a masterclass in pulsating futuristic
techno and widescreen sonics. Through a flurry of top-of-the-range
releases for the likes of Dekmantel, Kompakt, Figure and his own
imprint, WIP, the Japanese producer has been cementing his position as a
true innovator of techno music. His unparalleled knack for crafting
big-room-ready tunes that engineer a complex cocktail of cutting-edge
elegance, modular intuitivity and hi-impact punch has logically made him
a much sought-after talent in the scene. Not departing from that
polymathic approach, his RYC mix, recorded at PURE G x FINAL in Taipei
on December 7, treats us to a storm of shape-shifting grooves and
brutalist fractals of sound. Beware, high voltage.

30 december 2024 |
min
A much (duly) rated exponent of the Dutch techno sound within and
well beyond its borders, Eerste Communie co-founder and resident MARRØN
clocks in with a vibrant two-hour trip into his constantly minimal, yet
untiringly expansive imaginarium. Through a chiselled selection of cuts
both surgical and eerie - combining the haunting nature of deep,
texturally lavish dubs with that of clinically arranged dance
floor-destroyers, he has us swaying in a state of spooky stasis, zoning
out further and further into trance-like abandon as the groove etches
deeper. Boasting a signature both paced-up and uncompromisingly stripped
down to its atomic nucleus, MARRØN serves up a masterly crafted piece
of soul-searching engineering.

23 december 2024 |
min
Breaking in our waves with a special two-hour round of genre-busting

Nimbly walking the tightrope between sensuous house folds and more
rugged, up-for-the-jugular techno on a deep, dubby tip, Ogazón treats us
to a hi-NRG vinyl workout flush with immersive, cinematic motion and
proper low-slung club-oriented extrapolations. The result is a mix that
swings the pendulum between sheer blazing functionality and an escapist
mindset, sparking off the inextinguible will to go out and rave your
night away from the daily hassle, and you can trust Ogazón for she
certainly knows how to teleport dancers to a whole cozier, comely
dimension in the twinkling of an eye. Merry Xmas to all!

for himself through his finely curated selections and seamless mixing
technique, making him a regular of acclaimed clubs around the world,
including that of our beloved friends from Tbilisi, Bassiani’s. Haruka’s
polymathic sound - a blend of off-kilter techno and bouncy,
genre-unbound electronics, attests to the man’s widescreen vision and
engaging versatility, never settling for the obvious but looking to find
new paths of expression with every set. His RYC offering doesn’t differ
and delves into a wealth of rhythms and tropes, pushing back
the boundaries of techno as we know it, or better, redefining it

chief operator Tasha graces us with a versatile, shape-shifting helluva

Non Series, Psyk sure knows how to steer crowds into some sort of
super-conscious euphoria. Expert provider of big-room ready dynamics and
paranoid narratives, Psyk flings us into orbit with his impeccably
laid-down assembly of industrial-minded rhythms and murky, oomph-loaded
grooves hatching out of the dark like alien eggs from a drifting
Nostromo.
Reclaim Your City 619 | DJ MARIA.
25 november 2024 |
min
Hailing from Tokyo, DJ MARIA. has been making waves with her finely
engineered mixes and exquisite selections, as much as a few head-turning
productions for the likes of Katharsis and Proxima. Close to the
original 90s atmospheric techno vibe, her approach shares that taste for
spaciousness and sense-awakening uplift, fitting in nicely in the
tradition of dub techno whilst opening onto more ambient-oid detours and
further leftfield-friendly electronics. Delving in the essence of
techno as a tool for emancipation, her mixes traverse a wealth of
landscapes and territories, never quite sitting cozy but roaming in
search of new forms to embrace, new geometries to integrate. A musical
language in constant motion, where expectations wash up against the
beauty of revelation.
Reclaim Your City 618 | Mike Parker
18 november 2024 |
min
A true legend and pioneering figure of techno, US sound architect and Geophone label owner Mike Parker breaks in on the RYC waves with a very special set full with his idiosyncratically dark, obsessive, inch-perfectly chiselled 4x4 wares. Before Boiler Room and co. were even a thing, a pioneering platform going by the name of Studio R° used to broadcast techno sets by prominent artists from a secret location in Berlin. This iconic, vinyl-only mix is Parker’s Studio R° set from 2013, now fully remastered for your listening pleasure. Building atmospheres unlike any other, brooding and transcending in equal measure, Parker has laid the foundation to an exceptionally rich body of work. Master of the industrial vocab, peeping towards Detroit but with his defining spin on the early days genre, Parker entices us down the path of steely monumentality and laser-precise mind control. Just as typically mazy, his present mix conjures up all traits of quality Parker material: 909-powered propulsion, enslaving acid whorls, Escher-like fractals. Wild, wild ride ahead.

min
A much talented purveyor of widescreen electronic epics and
mind-expanding techno sceneries, Vera Logdanidi has been trading some of
the finest dubs out there, including some outstanding pieces of work
for Rhythm Büro, Semantica or On Board Music. All in spacious reverbs
and atmospheric deconstructionism, her mixes as much as her own
productions seek diffuse effect rather than impactful punch, altering
mindsets through carefully orchestrated movements rather than flexing
muscles. An origami-like unfolding of mesmerising sequences, ushering us
amidst lush forests of sound and distinctive emotional apexes, Vera’s
mix is a safe, welcoming haven, here to harbour us from the surrounding
crass that threatens to devour the last crumbs of peace and solace in
our hearts.

mind-trip, brimming with eerily opaque floor narratives, non-formulaic
rhythms and abstract-leaning grooves from outer space. Hold tight for
gravity-defying, sonic stunts and deeply cinematic submersion, here
comes ATEQ with a serious slice of otherworldly techno escapism.

three decades, just google his name and you’ll be drawn into an endless
sea of links, vids, bios, event pages, and all kinds of past and present
prowesses vouching for the man’s incredible career so we’ll leave it at
that. Having graced the grooves of our record label with the magnetic
‘Enigma’ EP back in 2022, the man is now back with a much anticipated
podcast - made up of 100% OG Jeroen material - that shall have a tsunami
of modular signals, chiselled 909 onslaughts and Ubik-uitous floor
narratives break loose to entrancing effect. Better buckle your belt,

flying through the windshield. So to speak.

Hamatsuki treats us to a wild and effusive two hours of radical
obliqueness, steering us constantly into murky waters, where life swarms

impressive level of control at every point in time, resulting in a

Morevi Records affiliate flaunts the breadth of his talent through a
versatile selection and impeccable mixing maneuvers. The result is a

scene as he deploys a two-hour maze of a multi-faceted mix. Spanning the
widest array of influences and signatures, the young producer entices
us down the road of techno eclecticism, blending polyrhythmic vibrancy
with a deadeye sense for supposedly unobvious combinations and
permutations. The result is a mix unlike any other, an uncanny place of

downtempo drifts and further mesmeric subterranean dubs. Just let it

Combining the dark and brute side of steely industrial music with that
of more deep-minded electronics, halfway dub immersion and further
left-field acid eccentricities, Ketch ploughs his own furrow aside from
techno's main drag, somewhere at the junction of raw brutalism and
tribal-inherited transcendence. Just like his own tracks, the
Italy-based producer’s mixes lay down a complex, near-labyrinthine

A lush imaginarium bristling with impressive audio minutiae and balmy ambient weathering, this is techno to offset your sensory balance. A welcome swash of velveteen serenity to kick off the week.

Weaving some of the most exhilaratingly hypnotic floor narratives in the landscape of contemporary techno, UK's driving force Stephanie Sykes graces us with two utmost hectic hours of music. Cozy on all terrains, the British DJ and producer juggles rhythms and shifts scopes as a chameleon swaps camouflages. By turn rugged and propulsive, her blends elegantly stretch from post-indus rustiness to straight out computer-age gloss in the blink of an eye, though her mixing seamlessly coalesces all in a brilliantly understated tour de force. With her typical refinement and pristine dexterity behind the decks, Sykes keeps us on our toes throughout this belter of a sonic journey. Fasten your seatbelt and revel, here comes a total cyclone of a mix.

Formerly active as one half of Cassegrain and now solely under his
own name, Hüseyin Evirgen alias Magna Pia has been trading out some of
the finest hypnotising floor material on the market for the past decade.
Responsible for some key platters on the likes of Soma, Arcing Seas and
Counterchange, the Berlin-based producer eases us in his intricately
structured headspace, lithely moving at the confluence of
post-industrial dubs, central Asian folk and heavy-duty brutalism.
Dishing out proper excellence behind the decks, and the perfect balance
between paced-up dynamics and full-immersion atmospherism, here goes
Magna Pia with his newest two-hour selection of hi-voltage wares to jack
your mind and body to, unabashedly. Lock in, zone out.
Reclaim Your City 558 | Angioma b2b Blanka

min
For this new round, Berlin-based friends and collaborators Angioma and Blanka team up for a very special B2B set spanning the spectrum of their respective, and much compatible, universes. Both sharing the same shelter of their own record label Room Trax, the pair sends us into orbit with two hours of shadowy 4x4 grooves and thick-set dubs primed for peak-time basement rioting. Astutely swinging the pendulum between reverb-soaked atmospherism and gut-churning bass assault, Angioma and Blanka have us riding stormy sine waves and exhilarating distortions effortlessly. Kit up for a riveting deep-dive into nightmarish grottos and oddly cozy, Berghain-ready chasms.

Affiliate of the ever trustworthy Hayes Collective, as well as the SYXT connection, Stockholm operator Franz Jäger steps in our weekly mix series with two hours of utterly cinematic techno for the heads. Busting the invisible frontier between floor-focussed functionality and inward-gazing meanderings, the Swedish producer has us abseiling down a much fascinating decorum of mazy architectures and suffocating ambiences. Behind a curtain of iron-hard austerity and industrial-informed punch, a luxuriant jungle of minutely crafted sound design reveals itself, mysterious and enveloping as it gets. Make yourself at home, for Jäger certainly knows how to treat his guests with bespoke care and distinction.
Reclaim Your City 556 | Measure Divide

Slashing its way across murky industrial scapes and haunting concrete and glass visions at unrelenting pace, the sound of Karachi-born, Toronto-based producer Fahad Ahmad alias Measure Divide summons all the assets of tormented hardware sorcery. Responsible for an array of quality efforts for the likes of Clergy and Nachtstrom Schallplatten over the years, Fahad has consistently laid down non-formulaic techno with a truly honest and singular approach. Defying the bland order of the day with productions that stretch from high-traction elephant grooves to more subtle psy-op manoeuvres with seamless ease, the Canadian jockey treats us to a mind-boggling fractal of homing big-room missiles, all set at shredding the dance floor into scraps of euphoric abandon.
Reclaim Your City 555 | Beatrice

This week's mix comes courtesy of a young Spanish DJ and producer going by the name of Beatrice. Operating out of Berlin, she's started making waves over the last few years thanks to dextrous mixes running the gamut from deep, mind-altering techno wares to further heavy-duty workout material, becoming a resident at New York's Basement along the way. Constantly blurring the lines between abstract-leaning, angular 4x4 on a post-industrial tip and breath-holding descents down claustrophobic environments, Beatrice dishes out a prime selection of equivocally brutal and subtle joints, tailored to keep the nastiest herd of ravers in check throughout. Massive.
Reclaim Your City 554 | Steve Bicknell

From breaking through in the early 90s right when things were still done wild, helming the legendary Lost club nights from 1992 onward, onto becoming a pioneering figure of the UK's underground, it's safe to say Steve Bicknell ticks all the boxes of a self-made myth in the scene. Tirelessly pushing the boundaries of techno as we know it, the British don has been carving out his name in gold letters amongst the pantheon of DJs capable to evolve and transcend both themselves and their audience through the cathartic power of music. Always a step ahead, Bicknell treats us to two hours of resolutely immersive and achingly powerful soul-search, seamlessly criss-crossing our brains with his top-of-the-range anti-bullshit techno medicine. Posology? Repeat listens until complete recovery.
Reclaim Your City 553 | Anthony Linell

min
Championing a dark, claustrophobic strain of techno, Swedish maestro Anthony Linell (aka Abdullah Rashim) pulls by our mix series with two hours of spine-tingling ambiences and velvet-clad industrial punch. True to the time-tested musical precepts he’s been relying on throughout his impeccable discography - which includes about a dozen albums and twice as many EPs for his own record label Northern Electronics plus a happy few, Linell’s present delivery remains befogged with that trademark esoteric enthrallment of his, taking us for a much captivating deep-dive into troubled sonic marshes and across the deeper layers of your consciousness. As ever with the Stockholm wizard, it’s a masterly handled showdown of all-terrain cinematic immersion and on-target groove manipulation that reels off freely, ready to subject any raver with its magnetic flair and indisputably massive fire at heart. Locked and loaded.
