D-Node 243: Oscar Mulero | Pole Group

This week we're pleased to share a set from Oscar Mulero, a longtime figure in the international techno scene and a constant fixture in the tracklists of excellent DJ sets. Entering the Madrid scene in the '80s, he came to international recognition through early appearances at Barcelona's Sónar festival, and since then has been recognized for his Djing abilities and to play around the world. He's best known for his hard techno sound, but also has put out records that are more oriented towar...

D-Node 242: Submerge Live at Tresor

Submerge, AKA Orlando Solis, is a DJ/producer from Chicago who also runs the Impact Mechanics label, a name he also uses for live performance. His releases on the harder side of techno have come out on Impact Mechanics, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, and Mote Evolver, among other labels. Submerge's mix this week comes through supporter Allen & Heath's Xone:DB4 mixer, recorded at Tresor Berlin. The use of the mixer would have to be the set's technical highlight, as he cuts through mixes and pushes...

D-Node 239: Diego | Kanzleramt + Belief System

Swiss DJ/producer Diego Hostettler is our next embedded veteran techno figure from the Belief System camp, though the bulk of his work as Diego, including 7 albums, has been on Heiko Laux's Kanzleramt imprint. Diego's sound has been refined over the years and has incorporated a range of influences and approaches to rhythm, noise, and synthetic melody, but at its core has been a hard, driving focus in the vein of Mills, Hood, or Sims. His mix for D-Node showcases the evolution of that appr...

D-Node 235: Reggy van Oers | Affin

Dutch artist Reggy van Oers presents a deep minimal sound that's dark and ritualistic. After van Oers' 2007 release of "Metza" on Trapez, he went on to produce for a handful of labels but has given the bulk of his creative output to Joachim Spieth's Affin imprint. His trademark has become a dive into trance-inducing darkness, which can be heard on his releases, his many remixes, and his track selection in general. This week's mix traverses those depths.

D-Node 234: Arthur Oskan Live PA | Thoughtless Music

We normally break down artist bios to a few core sentences for these introductions, but Oskan's bio is actually a pretty interesting read and not reproduced in too many places, so here it is: Hailing from Toronto, Arthur Oskan has spent the last twenty years solidifying his place as one of Canada’s top electronic music producers. A Juno Award nomination (an award given to Canada’s top musicians) for his album ‘A Little More Than Everything’ (2011) on Thoughtless Music was not som...
