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 ambienc
Reclaim Your City 631 | Arthur Robert Live
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 g
Reclaim Your City 630 | Bas Mooy
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 deliv
Reclaim Your City 629 | Mathys Lenne
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 brainwave
Reclaim Your City 628 | Juana
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
Reclaim Your City 627 | Vincent Neumann
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 commun
