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.

D-Node 235: Reggy van Oers | Affin

Dutch artist Reggy van Oers presents a deep minimal sound that's dark and ritualistic.

D-Node 227: Solenoid | Graphene

Paired with Solenoid's Colony release on young label Graphene is a spaced-out characterization of Solenoid as "the narrator/observor of a planet controlled and afflicted" in "a future prophecy world, where the stark realization of armageddon is foretold." This type of imagery informs a specific way of hearing and relating to the sounds out of the release and in subsequent mixes, but it masks the more interesting background of the man behind the project, Dave Ellesmere. Ellesmere began as a d...
