Embracing the here and now, shedding doubt and uncertainty, Mode_1 channels techno purism for the 50th episode of our podcast series.

From the heart of Dublin’s underground, Mode_1 crafts a sound both pure and powerful, peak-time energy woven with hypnotic rhythm and a relentless, driving pulse. A long-time Subject resident and cornerstone of Ireland’s techno scene, his journey has carried him through the haze of Berlin basements, Paris nights, and New York floors. His releases on Token, Knotweed Records, FiedelTwo, Naked Lunch, and his own M1M Series chart the steady rise of an artist devoted to a form of escapism.

Relentless yet refined. Energetic yet meditative. A timeless sound echoing across generations of ravers, as if tomorrow may never come. Let go. Surrender to the moment. Come escape with us.

A call to our most primal expression. Let Leyline sharpen your senses in the 48th chapter of our podcast series.

Born from the mind of Stan Vuylsteke, Leyline moves through deep textures and unpredictable rhythms—techno that overwhelms, disorients, and immerses. As part of Brussels’ GIFKIKKER collective, he joins a community weaving stories of melancholy and brilliance, where brightness collides with rougher edges.

This is unforeseen contact with sound: organic layers, flowing textures, tribal drums, and rhythms that command the body. A deep instinct takes over.

You lose yourself. You escape.

We’re reaching our orbital edge.
Transcend with Ancestral Landscapes for the 47th chapter of our podcast series.

Co-founder of ERAM Records, the Sicilian producer and DJ carves a distinct path in electronic music with hypnotic, dark soundscapes and driving, experimental rhythms. With releases on Space Texture, Bhan, Khoros, Hypnotic Motion, and Modern Minimal, he has become a force in Italy’s underground techno scene—known for sonic quests that merge deep atmospheres, drones, and textured synths into powerful, immersive journeys.

A mission toward the gravitational borders.
An urge to leave the world behind.
The determination to escape reality.
Don’t fight it—embrace it.
