Livening up the mid-week, LUMERTZÂ shares his latest Guest Mix with 6AM. The Brazilian/ Italian DJ and producer is currently based in Sydney, Australia. His music style is built on top of classic Detroit and Berlin techno. With presentations couched by intense feelings, LUMERTZ guides the dance floor in a hypnotic trip full of looped and acid sounds. In his short time living in Australia, LUMERTZ already shared the stage with some of the finest local names, such as Hoten, Ludovic, Manu Neves, Nick Reverse, and more. In 2021 he started to release his own songs and remixes through WeLove Recordings and independently.
Fresh off his album release on Jeff Millsâ Axis Records, Ocktawian brings three thumping tracks on this latest EP Unpatterns. Spinning vinyl for the better part of two decades the Spanish DJ and producer is known for dropping serious hard-techno, electro to minimal, all over the world. âError Systemsâ starts off with a slamming assault of 909s before delving into a tripped-out sci-fi sound that almost overwhelms the senses.
Berlin’s Boris Dolinski, the famed Ostgut Ton artist that has played Berghain more than any other DJ in the last 12 years, delivers this week’s Global Vibe Radio mix.
Last May, 30D Records offered its unique streaming showcase, recorded live in LAUT Barcelona. Traveling from Berlin for this special occasion, Boris offered one of his acclaimed sets, always unpredictable, inspiring, full of energy and plenty of unexpected tracks. On July 17th, Boris will release an exclusive cassette with 30D Records, an ambient mix limited to 25 copies.
Berlin-based DJ and producer Francesco De Luca has launched his own imprint and new alias entitled Deluka, with the premiere of his track “Infrared” off his upcoming first vinyl release Echoes which includes a stand-out remix by Spanish producer Orbe.
Synthek is a Berlin based DJ and producer, owner of Natch Records and STK imprint. Always seeking for new influences, over the past years the style of his sets and productions has faced a constant evolution, focusing on deep rhythmics and powerful, introspective vibes.
Following few successful EPs on Natch Records, he released his debut album Unwise, in collaboration with label partner Audiolouis. Unwise, seen as their last co-produced effort, got consecutively remixed by Polar Inertia, Antigone and Varg among others. Synthek started curating the booking of New Faces Wednesdays at Tresor Berlin in 2014, becoming a respected presence behind the decks of the legendary venue and especially so for his closing sets. The idea of creating STK, a self titled imprint and home of his own productions only, gives him the freedom to experiment new approaches to music production and reshape his signature sound. The initial wave of 3 EPs entitled VERSE, launched in July 2015, brought him to look slightly away from the dance floor, and finally orienting towards mind-twisting and psychedelic compositions. Beside releases on STK, since his last appearance on Attic Music, Synthek has released new material such as his MRI EP on Russian label Wunderblock, a remix alongside Svreca on Spanish imprint Redpoint Alert, and a contribution for a compilation on OVUNQVE.
This year Synthek released Transitions of Life on Natch Records, his first solo LP. The 11-tracker came out on April 18th, the unfolding of a two-year transformational period that saw Synthek cross along rough roads and tribulations to reveal an intimate personal journey of revelation through emotional downshift, spiritual upheaval and cerebral quandary.
Synthetk is this week’s guest on Global Vibe Radio, where he presents the last 3 hours of his 7 hour set at KHIDI in Georgia from earlier in 2017. We also took the chance to chat with him about projects past, present and future. Enjoy the mix and read on for the exclusive interview!
In Berlin to celebrate New Year’s Eve and excited for Berghain/Panorama Bar’s three-day techno and house extravaganza? You might want to check yourself before expectations get the better of you and you find yourself rejected from the club and looking for where else to party 2017’s arrival with no real ideas in mind.
Everyone knows how complicated, for lack of a better word, getting into Berlin’s most coveted nightclub can get, and with lines bound to be extra long and rejection extra possible, we have compiled a selection of alternatives for you should Sven or one of his doorman give you the “Nein!” when you get to the door:
Next week Chicago’s Oktave is celebrating 7 years at the forefront of the ever-changing landscape of techno. In an industry that sees clubs open and shut down in the span of a few short years, only a few venues and parties stand the test of time to remain open past the 5 year mark and beyond. The fact that Oktave has done so in a city with heavy focus on house music is but a testament to how well it has been curated over the years.
The infamous Berghain, Berlin’s techno institution, was struck by lightning according to a tweet by Barker.
The unexpected strike blew the venue’s air conditioning system and switched on the emergency lighting system on for three hours, probably sending some of the black-clad attendees that were busy closing out the weekend with a dose of techno into a little bit of a confused state.
Berghain got struck by lightning last night, which blew the aircon and switched the blinding bright emergency lighting on for 3 hours..

Other illustrious acts include Donato Dozzy, Dasha Rush, Objeck, Sterac, Surgeon and Regis among many, many other techno talents. Tresor has specified that while the initial lineup has been released, more names will be added in the near future.
