© 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. The Psychology of the Reset: Juheun’s Mission for the Underground Juheun’s trajectory is a study in creative survival. After over a decade performing as DJ Tranzit in the American house scene, he faced a choice: continue playing tracks he didn’t like to satisfy a commercial bottle-service culture, or return to the “faceless” roots that originally defined his love for electronic music. His return to techno was a reclamation of mental health and artistic clarity, a move away from the “noise” of social media influencers and toward the raw, mechanical soul of the machine. “With so much noise these days coming at us from social media, influencers, and AI… it’s very easy to get lost and forget why we are here in the first place. It’s always been very important to stay grounded and focus on the music. Sometimes the easy way out is to follow trends, but that doesn’t do anything for you in the long run.” This grounding is maintained through a rigid discipline system. In an industry that demands constant output, Juheun relies on a “dialled-in schedule” to prevent the burnout that comes from constant comparison. He views the studio as a laboratory where he controls electricity—converting vibrations into futuristic frequencies. Yet, he is quick to identify the trap of repetition; for Juheun, innovation isn’t just about adding new sounds, but knowing when to strip everything back to its fundamentals. “Learning to become a good producer is knowing when to stop, and knowing when its time to shift gears or even give up on an idea. One of the best studio tips I’ve gotten is to start deleting parts and pieces when you hit a dead end. Even just muting channels and stripping it all back down to its fundamentals have done wonders.” Juheun’s perspective on the “business layer” of the industry is equally uncompromising. He views the current ecosystem as one that has devalued the art form through over-accessibility. From over-produced events with “a million lasers” to the “AI-generated slop” infiltrating playlists, he sees a desperate need to return value to the music itself. His solution is a structural reset: raising the cost of music to force a more curated, appreciative relationship between the listener and the artist. “We need to bring value back to music. I think its time to raise the prices on music a little. Even doubling the cost of a single song from $0.99 to $2.00 can make a huge difference… if we are not taking care of the musicians and producers who create the music, then we would be left with nothing but generic AI generated slop.” His mix for True Techno 106 is an extension of this mindset—a pursuit of “timeless techno” that stands apart from the peak-time trends. By weaving his own unreleased live IDs, like ‘Lets Dance’, with the deep, hypnotic selections of Phil Berg and Modeselektor, Juheun provides a glimpse into a future where the music—not the brand—is the catalyst for connection. It is a reminder that once the current bubble bursts, the underground will remain, sustained by those who were there for the right reasons all along. “Techno has always been a bit mysterious to me. Back in the day, it was a song title and an obscure name… it was really just about how hot the record was instead of the reverse. This is what makes it so special. Listen to the music first.” Tracklist Civil Servant – Into The Unknown (Juheun Remix) Troy – Ishi No Medama (Original Mix) Regent – Arcane (Original Mix) Toobris – Tomorrow is Gone (Original Mix) Modeselektor – Blockchain (Original Mix) Juheun – Lets Dance (Original Mix) Hertz, Oscar Escapa – Eternal Groove (Original Mix) Khabiar – It Depends ON (Original Mix) Oscar Sanchez – Selective Memory (Original Mix) Phil Berg – Sappho (Original Mix) Frank Biazzi – Open Your Eyes (Juheun Remix) Kulage – Nord (Original Mix) Simone Zino – Momentum (Original Mix) Klint – Calibre (Original Mix) Listen to all editions of True Techno  True Techno FAQ Which tracks did Juheun use in his True Techno mix? Juheun’s mix features a blend of high-precision techno including his own remix of Civil Servant’s ‘Into The Unknown’, his unreleased live track ‘Lets Dance’, and his remix of Frank Biazzi’s ‘Open Your Eyes’. The set also incorporates tracks from Modeselektor, Phil Berg, and Oscar Sanchez. What is Juheun’s philosophy on the current state of techno? Juheun advocates for a return to the “faceless” roots of techno, where the music carries more weight than the brand or social media presence. He believes in bringing value back to music by potentially increasing prices for digital singles to support independent artists and curb the influence of generic, AI-generated content. How does Juheun approach studio production and sound design? Juheun employs a rhythm-centric, tactile approach using hardware like the Moog Sub 37. He treats synthesizers as tools to control electricity and convert it into frequencies, often stripping tracks back to their fundamentals when a creative wall is hit to maintain a raw, hypnotic sound. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [{ "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/" },{ "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Techno Podcast Archive", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/techno-podcast-archive/" },{ "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Juheun - True Techno 106", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/juheun-true-techno-podcast-106/" }] } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "PodcastEpisode", "name": "True Techno 106: Juheun | Robotic Soul & Underground Philosophy", "headline": "Juheun Delivers a Raw, Hypnotic Masterclass for True Techno 106", "description": "Juheun takes over the True Techno Podcast 106, delivering a mix of raw, hypnotic energy.

Ilona Maras – True Techno 105: Discusses Her Hive Residency and Narrative Energy Ilona Maras anchors this edition of True Techno, showcasing the clinical technicality and raw emotional weight that have fuelled her trajectory through the underground. Based in Zürich and maintaining a residency at the influential Hive club, Maras provides an exclusive look into her creative process following her recent EP on MJA the Vision. Her sound – a sophisticated blend of Eastern melodies and raw acid textures – has earned her the backing of industry heavyweights like Richie Hawtin and positions her as a definitive voice in contemporary techno. For Maras, the evolution from a hobbyist to a central figure in the scene was a gradual realisation of purpose. The transition occurred as she noticed her focus shifting towards the minutiae of performance and the psychological impact of the booth. “It wasn’t one big moment, more a quiet realisation that kept getting louder over time,” she reflects. “I noticed how deeply I cared about every detail, every transition, every reaction from the crowd. At some point, it became clear this wasn’t something I did for fun after work; it was how I experience the world.” The Hive Residency: Illona Maras Technical Education The Hive in Zürich serves as both a creative anchor and a testing ground for Maras’ output. Her residency has required her to navigate diverse time slots and floors, a process that demands an acute level of crowd empathy and technical adaptability. This experience has shaped her ability to work a room without relying on cheap tropes or forced energy. “You can’t force energy in that space; you have to read the room and build it slowly, earn trust step by step. It taught me that sometimes less is more, and that people will go with you if you’re honest, not if you’re trying to impress them.” – Ilona Maras This grounded approach extends to her high-pressure performances, including playing a set at Street Parade while seven months pregnant – a moment she describes as a powerful convergence of her personal life and professional commitment. MJA the Vision and the 90s Techno Influence Her latest work on MJA the Vision, released on 06.03.2026, leans into the contrast between tension and release. Inspired by the industrial geometry of the Prague train station, the EP captures a specific 90s techno aesthetic while maintaining the modern clarity required for big-room impact. Maras describes the production as an exercise in intuition over calculation. “The EP is very much about contrast, tension and release, control and letting go. I got inspired while visiting Prague; I was in a room overlooking their beautiful train station, and something about that view gave me a strong 90s feeling. It made me want to recreate a bit of that 90s techno vibe in my own way.” – Ilona Maras Honesty as a Production Standard Since her debut on Get Physical with Existe, Maras has prioritised instinct over perfectionism. This philosophy has seen her tracks championed by Richie Hawtin and released on labels including Volta, We Are The Brave, and Filth On Acid. By refusing to “customise” music for specific labels, she has maintained a cohesive identity that bridges the gap between underground depth and peak-time function. Her focus now shifts towards her own imprint and a commitment to innovation that ignores the saturation of the modern trend cycle. “I’d love to push even more into innovation… and to ignore the noise around me as much as possible,” she says. “Every time I manage to do that, those tracks usually work the best.” As Ilona Maras continues her tour cycle, True Techno 105 serves as a testament to an artist who values real connection over fleeting metrics. Her sound is built for high-intensity immersion, striking the balance between visceral, dancefloor-focused energy and complex melodic progression.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by ILona Maras (@ilonamaras) Ilona Maras True Techno 105 Tracklist 1.

Fresh off a Beatport #1 chart-topper with &#8220;Signals&#8221; and a massive 2025 that saw him tear through Joseph Capriati’s Metamorfosi at ADE and join the prestigious Tempo Management roster, Simone Zino is bridging the gap between his classical roots and peak-time dancefloor artillery. For an artist with nearly two decades in the trenches &#8211; Simone Zino is cutting his teeth with a 2008 residency at Bolgia and sharing stages with titans like Len Faki, Nina Kraviz, and Chris Liebing &#8211; cracking the code to a Detroit legacy label required looking inward. Rather than adopting an artificial persona, Zino leaned heavily into the stripped-down, hypnotic tension that defines his native scene. &#8220;Growing up in the Milan underground shaped my approach to techno a lot,&#8221; Zino explains. &#8220;Over the years I developed a language focused on groove, raw drums and a balance between energy and soul. That connection between machine-driven rhythms and human feeling is something that always fascinated me in Detroit techno. When I started refining that approach in my productions, the connection with KMS felt very natural.&#8221; Following up a massive #1 hit can paralyze a producer, especially when the next release is stamped with the KMS logo. Yet Zino bypassed the anxiety of the sophomore slump by isolating himself from industry noise. &#8220;Honestly I didn’t want to think too much about the pressure of following a #1 record,&#8221; he says flatly. &#8220;For me the focus was simply staying true to my sound and respecting the identity of KMS. So instead of chasing another hit, I concentrated on groove, raw energy and that classic Detroit feeling that inspired the EP.&#8221; The Architecture of Tension Zino’s background in piano and composition acts as a hidden skeletal structure within his current 142 BPM, floor-oriented output. He recently collaborated with fashion designer Chiara Amico, seeking to visually represent his sound through a lens of &#8220;industrial elegance&#8221; &#8211; metallic textures paired with sharp tailoring. This visual ethos mirrors his studio process perfectly. &#8220;I like the idea of combining something raw and industrial with something elegant and precise. In the EP I tried to translate that concept into sound: metallic textures, strong drum grooves, but also clean structures and attention to detail. It’s that balance between rough energy and refined sound design.&#8221; While the aesthetic leans industrial, the classical training still demands an outlet. Simone Zino achieves this through micro-arrangements rather than sweeping lead lines. &#8220;Even in percussive, floor-focused tracks I try to bring subtle harmonic layers in the background,&#8221; he details. &#8220;It can be small chord stabs, atmospheric pads, or tension in the arrangement &#8211; just enough to satisfy that musical side without taking away from the groove.&#8221; Despite the &#8220;Old School&#8221; moniker of the EP, Simone Zino isn&#8217;t relying on banks of dusty analog hardware to emulate the past. He embraces a modern digital workflow to achieve his gritty textures. &#8220;For this EP I mostly worked digitally,&#8221; he reveals. &#8220;I like taking a single sound and reworking it through sampling techniques—manipulating it, layering it, reshaping it. That’s a method I’ve been using a lot lately, and it lets me honor the old-school spirit in a fully modern workflow.&#8221; Simon Zino: Escaping the Algorithm As the co-founder and curator of ROOM360, Simone Zino strictly defines the parameters of his environment. There is a distinct division in his mindset when crafting a deep, hypnotic journey for his residency versus engineering a peak-time weapon. &#8220;When I produce for peak-time, I focus on energy and impact &#8211; strong drums, driving basslines, and immediate tension,&#8221; he notes. &#8220;For ROOM360, since I curate it myself, I go for a more groove-driven journey, but in general I produce mostly what I actually play &#8211; around 90% of the time.&#8221; This commitment to authenticity insulates him from the highly curated, social-media-driven &#8220;Business Techno&#8221; circuit. His focus remains entirely on subcultural rebellion. &#8220;I always focus on the music first, not trends or clicks,&#8221; he asserts. &#8220;My sets and residency are about creating a journey, exploring underground sounds, and keeping that raw, rebellious energy alive &#8211; away from the usual social media formulas.&#8221; That raw energy translates globally. With a return tour to India scheduled for March 2026, Simone Zino points out the stark differences in global dancefloor dynamics. &#8220;I found a very genuine approach to clubbing in India—people there are open, curious, and fully present on the dancefloor.&#8221; As Back To The Old School prepares to hit the digital shelves, it serves as more than just another notch on a booming discography. For Zino, the project operates on two distinct levels. &#8220;I see it as a bit of both,&#8221; Simone Zino concludes, reflecting on his dual intentions. &#8220;It’s an homage to the roots that shaped me, but also a personal statement on the energy, groove, and rawness I think techno needs to keep alive today.&#8221; <a href="https://www.trueunderground.one/techno-podcast-archive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style=" display: inline-block; background-color: #e60073; color: #ffffff; font-family: &#039;montserrat; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; padding: 14px; border-radius: 4px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; text-align: center; line-height: 0.1em; transition: background-color 0.3s ease; " onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor=&#039;#e60073&#039;;" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=&#039;#696969&#039;;"> VIEW ALL TRUE TECHNO EDITIONS The post Simone Zino &#8211; Raw Industrial Techno Mix | True Techno 104 appeared first on True Underground.

© 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Lola Kay’s relationship with music was never passive. It was lived, absorbed, and embodied long before she ever stood behind a booth. Growing up in Minsk, Belarus, Lola Kay&#8216;s childhood unfolded inside theatres rather than classrooms, shaped by the backstage corridors where her mother worked and where atmosphere, tension, and emotion were constructed night after night. Drama, sound, and silence all had purpose. At the same time, she was already dancing, learning intuitively how rhythm moves the body and how music alters mood. That early immersion taught her something foundational: music is not decoration, it is architecture As a child, Lola Kay was introspective and self-directed, spending long stretches alone with records and artwork. Electronic music arrived early, not through trends but through curiosity. Digging became instinctive. The raw energy and strange aggression of The Prodigy left a lasting imprint, a first encounter with electronic music that felt unruly, physical, and alive. It was less about genre and more about sensation, something she would later return to again and again. Dance became her first profession, and with it came a deep study of musical cultures. Classical, jazz, swing, and the lineage of artists like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong were not abstract references but living histories she felt through movement. Each dance style demanded immersion into its cultural context, its era, its emotional code. Music was never separated from place, time, or identity. That obsession with understanding where sound comes from still underpins her approach today, whether she is producing or layering four decks into a single evolving narrative. Her DJ sets are built with the body in mind. Groove dictates structure. Energy dictates pacing. Tracks are not standalone moments but emotional blocks that create tension, release, and continuity. Theatre remains present in her work, not as spectacle, but as cohesion. One atmosphere runs through the entire set, a full-circle arc where nothing is accidental and nothing is wasted. Leaving Belarus was never romantic. Growing up in a post-Soviet environment as a free-spirited, open-minded young woman came with friction and constraint. Escape was not a desire but a necessity. Barcelona became her exit point almost by chance, following visits that revealed a city driven by openness and rhythm, and an unexpected opportunity to open a dance school. The city gave her space to exist, to experiment, and to begin carving out an artistic identity on her own terms Community became central to her rise. Collectives were not branding exercises but survival structures. House of (S)PUNK, founded by Perrine aka La Fraîcheur, was pivotal. It was the first time someone truly believed in her as a producer and pushed her to release music. That belief translated directly into action, resulting in her debut EP and a clearer sense of artistic direction. Alongside this, her involvement with YO-YO allowed her to exist unapologetically as a queer artist, prioritising FLINTA lineups, safety, and genuine community over industry optics. Stylistically, Lola Kay resists rigid definitions. Mental techno, hardgroove, Detroit, and 90s and 2000s references appear not because they are fashionable but because they carry the emotional weight she is searching for. Her mixing is architectural, using multiple decks to layer texture, rhythm, and atmosphere into something hypnotic and primal. Berlin looms large in this evolution. It was the first place where techno fully made sense to her, where intuition aligned with sound. The city did not teach her what to like, it confirmed what she already felt Her influences extend beyond records to the people who sustain the culture. Artists like DVS1, Luke Slater, and Efdemin matter not only for their sound but for their commitment to the scene. DJs such as Steffi, Lady Machine, Paula Koski, Bashkka, Philippa Pacho, and Isabel Soto continue to shape her understanding of what it means to give back while pushing forward. Visualisation is central to her process. Before a set, before a recording, she imagines the space, the crowd, the emotional temperature of the room. A single mood is chosen and followed with discipline. This is why her mixes feel transportive rather than scattered. They are designed to take the listener somewhere specific, even if that destination remains undefined. The venue matters. So does the city, the weather, the time slot, and her own internal state that day. Final playlists often come together hours before she plays, once the environment has been fully absorbed. Production remains deliberately minimal. A laptop, mobility, freedom. While she dreams of one day building a professional studio, she values the ability to create anywhere, guided more by emotion than equipment. That emotional clarity became especially pronounced on Run Lola Run, a turning point EP inspired by the iconic German film but rooted in self-encouragement. It marked the moment she stopped searching and started moving decisively toward the sound she wanted to represent. Once the direction was clear, momentum followed Inclusivity is not a slogan in her work, it is lived experience. As a queer woman navigating a male-dominated industry, she encountered enough resistance to harden her resolve. Those experiences forced independence and confidence, but they also reinforced the importance of support systems. She is acutely aware that belief from others made her career possible, and she sees giving back as a responsibility, particularly to voices that are still marginalised within electronic music. Her advice to emerging artists is uncompromising. Learn the roots. Know the history. Techno and house were born in queer spaces, and their raw energy still carries that lineage. To ignore that context is to hollow out the music itself. Preservation and education are part of the work, not distractions from it. At its core, Lola Kay&#8217;s vision of the dancefloor is almost spiritual. She wants people to meet themselves there, stripped of self-consciousness, free, seen, and connected. In her ideal room, the crowd breathes as one organism, phones down, conversation gone, replaced by ritual and shared emotion. It is not spectacle. It is communion.

DJ Morgan, producer and founder of HardNRG.com &#8211; one of the first major online platforms to promote hard house across the United States, showcasing exclusive sets from leading artists around the globe. His own productions and DJ mixes blew up his international profile, seeing him tour extensively and earn a reputation as a highly influential figure in the early US hard dance movement. “When I went to my first rave, it all came together &#8211; a scene developing before my eyes, opening me up to entirely new ways of thinking about music,” he recalls. The 1990s US dance scene was raw, experimental, and fiercely inclusive. “Everyone was welcome. Positive vibes came in, and out went the punk rock and industrial angst,” says DJ Morgan. While Europe evolved into a vast festival culture, America’s underground stayed stripped-back and communal. “Out of a thousand records, you might find twenty or so dedicated to harder styles,” he remembers. The arrival of early internet record hubs like Juno Records and Banging Tunes finally gave him access to the European records that would later inspire his mission. In 1999, DJ Morgan launched HardNRG.com, one of the world’s first free online mix platforms &#8211; years ahead of SoundCloud or Mixcloud. “The goal was simple: get mixes from the best artists across Europe to ravers for free, and help spread the music across America.” The site became a global hub for hard house mixes. It featured some of the era’s biggest names, including Andy Farley, Anne Savage, BK, Captain Tinrib, Dynamic Intervention, Lisa Lashes, Karim, Lisa Pin-Up, Nick Sentience, Rodi Style, and Superfast Oz. Building on that success, DJ Morgan co-founded Lotek Records, releasing tracks from Defective Audio, Dynamic Intervention, Pranksterz, Rubec, Chris C, and Madam Zu while producing his own material for Lotek and releases on Kaktai &amp; DIP Records, including No Law, Unknown Technique, and Severe Trauma, rooted in harder-edged trance and NRG. DJ Morgan helped pave the way for the early hard dance scene in San Francisco. “We started a club night and threw several underground parties while helping others in the scene put on events,” he explains. “Many of our DJs went on to play across North America and internationally. I had a great run of it myself, playing regularly across the US and Canada, and as far as the UK, Finland, Japan, and Australia.” In parallel, he built a career in the video game industry, working with Activision, Sega, EA, and Blizzard on projects for major franchises including Command &amp; Conquer and Warcraft. “My background in music allowed me to immediately speak with audio designers and engineers to hit the ground running,” he says. Now based in Thailand, Morgan has returned to DJing with a renewed focus, performing across Techno, Hard Techno, Hard Trance, and Psy-Trance. “I play what I like, rather than chasing what is popular. This way, I&#8217;m playing the music I love and am excited to share with everyone.” With upcoming gigs in Bangkok, before heading to Pattaya and Phuket, the former US hard house pioneer continues to connect with audiences by combining the underground energy of his past with today’s global hard dance revival.

© 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Italian-born and London-based, Mattia Turchetti, known as M.F.S: Observatory, has spent the past decade refining a sound that sits between engineering precision and raw club instinct. His productions and DJ sets balance M.F.S: Obervatory&#8217;s hypnotic repetition with emotional restraint, merging the discipline of a sound designer with the pulse of a dancefloor tactician. “My first musical memories come from home,” he begins. “My brother introduced me to electronic music, while my parents played Italian artists like Pino Daniele, Fabrizio De André, and Francesco De Gregori. That mix of emotion, melody, and rhythm shaped my ear from an early age. I started experimenting with drum machines and early software, fascinated by how rhythm could control a room. That curiosity slowly evolved into DJing and then producing my own music.” The alias came later, carrying both geographical and philosophical weight. “I’m from a village facing Mount Vesuvio, where the observatory stands, and that idea of watching and listening from above felt powerful. We started as a trio, but over time it became my solo project. The name stayed because it reflects how I approach music: always observing, studying, and experimenting with sound.” Growing up in Naples meant being immersed in a rhythmic culture where groove is everything. “I grew up surrounded by the house and tech-house scene in Naples, which has a strong groove-based culture. Later, after moving to London and traveling through Europe, I was drawn toward deeper and more hypnotic techno. Artists and labels that build emotion through minimalism and tension influenced me most; I’ve always been attracted to music that pulls you in slowly.” Turchetti’s formal background in sound design gave structure to that instinct. He studied Music and Sound Design in London, followed by a master’s in Sonic Arts at Goldsmiths. “Sound design taught me to treat frequencies as materials and to shape space, not just fill it,” he says. “Every sound has a role and emotional weight. I think a lot about how frequencies interact and how to use silence and dynamics to build tension &#8211; both in production and in a DJ set.” His early career took shape through small underground labels that supported his first releases before his name began appearing on international imprints. “It started with small underground labels that believed in my early music. Those first releases helped me build connections and confidence. As my sound evolved, international labels began to notice, and my tracks started reaching new audiences across Europe. Playing abroad and hearing my music in different cities were important milestones that showed me this could grow into a real career.” That career has now stretched across respected outlets such as Kneaded Pains, Second State, Illegal Aliens, Diffuse Reality, and his own Observatory Music, which he uses as a base for experimentation. Releases like Into The Matrix, You Get Me Flustered, and Antares mark his evolution toward a deeper, more spatial sound. “It has become more textured and focused,” he explains. “Early on I was driven by pure rhythm and energy, while now I explore space, layering, and atmosphere. My setup with the Akai Force, Elektron Syntakt, Elektron Digitone II, Eurorack, and Ableton Live helps me capture both structure and spontaneity. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with Baby Audio’s Tekno plug-in, which delivers a powerful punch on drums when combined with the analog tones I create on the Elektron machines.&#8221; His process starts from rhythm and grows outward. “I jam on the Syntakt or Digitone II until I find a groove that feels alive. From there I record into Ableton Live and arrange using the Akai Force as the main hub. The Eurorack adds evolving atmospheres and subtle movement. I like to shape each track like a DJ set — building tension and release, making sure every element has its moment.” That same attention to tension and release defines his approach to the booth. “I approach every set like a story. The opening tracks set the atmosphere, and from there I follow the crowd’s reactions. I never plan too tightly; I prefer to read the energy in the room and respond to it. The goal is to make people lose themselves in the flow and feel part of a shared journey.” He adjusts instinctively to different contexts. “Each city has its own energy. In Berlin, I focus on darker, hypnotic patterns; in London, I feel freer to experiment with groove and rhythm. Touring has taught me how sound behaves in different spaces.” Parallel to his own artistry, M.F.S: Observatory teaches production and DJ techniques, often bridging technical knowledge and creative intuition. “Teaching came naturally after years in the studio and on the road. I wanted to share what I learned and help others find their sound. My philosophy is to combine technical precision with creativity. I teach students to understand their tools, listen deeply, and express their own identity. The aim is not just to finish tracks but to build confidence as artists.” When asked what success looks like to him, his response is grounded. “Success means being able to create freely, connect with people through music, and keep that passion alive. If I can do that while growing my label and supporting other artists, then I am doing what I set out to do.” He’s now focused on expanding Observatory Music and taking his live concept further, integrating modular synthesis and DJ performance into a single experience. “I want to expand Observatory Music and continue developing my live performance concept, bringing more of my studio process directly to the stage. I’m exploring visual elements and collaborations that combine sound design with immersive experiences. My focus is on pushing creativity forward while keeping the underground spirit alive.” The next chapter will see M.F.S: Observatory translating his machines into a physical performance. He tells True Techno  “I am developing a new series of live shows built entirely around my machines. It brings the energy of my studio setup to the stage, combining live production and DJ performance. It feels more physical and personal, and I can’t wait to share it. I want to thank everyone who supports the underground and keeps this community strong.&#8221;

© 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Italian DJ, producer, and label head Marco Faraone has long stood as a bridge between the underground and the global techno mainstage. From the smoky intimacy of his early club nights to his current status as a festival fixture and respected figure on labels like Rekids and Drumcode, Marco Faraone’s path has been defined by instinct, authenticity, and a refusal to compromise. Speaking to True Underground, he reflects on his roots, his ethos, and the shifting landscape of techno. Marco Faraone’s earliest memories of the scene are steeped in the visceral energy of small, dark clubs &#8211; rooms heavy with smoke, sweat, and liberation. “There was nothing contrived, just people living the music as an act of freedom,” he recalls. “No one judged you; only the sound and what it transmitted mattered. That pure connection between music and people overwhelmed me. It was a revelation, and since then I’ve never stopped chasing that feeling.” As the culture expanded, Marco Faraone watched techno evolve from underground movement to global industry. “The scene has changed immensely &#8211; from niche culture to a global phenomenon. Today it’s more accessible, but also more dispersed. There’s more professionalism, but less risk and experimentation.” For him, remaining grounded in that raw, instinctive essence is crucial. “Techno has never been a trend but a free and ever-evolving language.” His rise to international recognition came gradually, built on consistency rather than calculation. “It wasn’t a single moment but a path,” he explains. “When people started recognising my musical signature &#8211; not just the name on the lineup &#8211; I realised something had changed.” Maintaining credibility while performing across high-profile stages, he says, comes down to intent. “The underground isn’t a place; it’s a state of mind. If you play with sincerity, the audience feels it.” This belief in authenticity forms the foundation of UNCAGE, Faraone’s label and creative platform. Conceived as a space for freedom and experimentation, it became both a laboratory and a manifesto. “UNCAGE gave me the chance to express myself without limits,” he says. “It’s a space where I can experiment, make mistakes, take risks, and answer to no one. It’s the most honest and instinctive part of me.” UNCAGE’s mission, he adds, is to keep that spirit alive &#8211; a commitment to freedom, research, and authenticity. Every release must carry meaning. “We select artists who share that vision, even if they’re not the easiest to promote. UNCAGE is a home for those who want to say something true &#8211; without filters or compromise.” Collaboration plays a central role in his evolution, pushing him toward new sonic and emotional dimensions. “Every artist brings a different world,” he says. “From many collaborations, I’ve learned the importance of space and silence. Sometimes removing is more powerful than adding. Letting the sound breathe &#8211; it’s a more mature and profound way of producing music.” Despite the genre’s current fragmentation, Marco Faraone sees vitality and potential in techno’s future. “There’s a lot of music, but not always a lot of substance. The future belongs to those who unite authenticity with innovation while staying true to the roots. Techno shouldn’t become a formula &#8211; it must remain a free and visceral expression.” Balancing global recognition with artistic integrity is, for Marco Faraone, an act of discipline and self-awareness. “I don’t chase trends; I evolve while staying true to my vision. Success, if it comes, should be a natural consequence &#8211; not the goal.” Founding UNCAGE, he says, was the defining decision of his career. “It allowed me to believe in my path, even in difficult moments. I’ve never taken the easy road, and maybe that’s what earned me respect in both worlds &#8211; underground and mainstream.” Marco Faraone and his philosophy is rooted in freedom, experimentation, emotional truth and embodies the tension that defines modern techno: how to remain loyal to the underground while shaping the future on one’s own terms. His label UNCAGE is a declaration of independence, a reminder that real artistry survives only where compromise ends. The post Marco Faraone | True Techno 100 appeared first on True Underground.

Finding the sensual sweet spot in hypnotic, impactful techno, her sound is a perfect balance of peak-time energy and playful intrigue deployed to take the dance deeper and incite liberation amongst everyone in earshot. Born in Montreal, where she was originally schooled, a Tomboy at heart, she was the eldest in her family, of all daughters, her family moved back to Bangladesh when she was 9, so her father could teach her how to run their family business, shadowing him day to day, she learned at an early age. When she was 19, Tazz returned to Toronto where she finished her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Physics, alongside a scholarship for tennis where she played for the University’s team for 3 years. It was during this time she was able to travel to Europe, and discovered cities including London and Berlin, and like most teenagers, found clubbing and nightlife becoming a regular part of lifestyle outside of studies. She was a regular at Guverment Club in Toronto, and still claims this to be one of the best night clubs she has ever been to. It was at this club she learned about DJ’s with their international acts, as well as really started to fall in love with everything about the music culture. Taking over the family business at the young age of 22, promoted a move back to Bangladesh, it was at this same time she started her own weekly radio show, that shortly became one of the biggest in the region, with over a million listeners. It opened the world of radio to her, where she invited top celebrities, musician and politicians. Raised by a traditional family, a career as a DJ was not deemed a respectable career choice, so her trips to London were kept a secret, where she started to play a lot of illegal raves in the city in the 2000’s. She felt conflicted emotions about rave culture, as she knew the backlash of making these choices would be considered disrespectful, so quit the radio and decided to make something more official, Mind Medizin was born. Mind Medizin’s event series soon started to take shape and generate a following, with shows starting out in South America, Mind Medizin events have grown to become a global enterprise, sharply curated by Tazz to feature fellow techno provocateurs well outside of the identikit trappings of business techno. Bathed in red light, front by performance artists clad in steel and leather, these events are hardwired towards a feverish kind of freedom. She has since developed the brand into a label, which serves as a natural vehicle for her creative output. Tazz is unapologetic in her disregard for the so-called rules of modern techno, because she has to break with tradition to engage with the music in the first place. She loves her Bangladeshi heritage but is also realistic in the societal limitations of what she can achieve there. The stakes were high, but Tazz embraces risk to realise her vision. An artist who is working tirelessly in pursuit of pleasure and profound sonic transcendence. The truest art demands to exist against all odds, and Lady Tazz celebrates her hard-won liberation with no room for compromise.

Lola Cerise is a French DJ based in Paris, who was born into a family of creatives — her mother was a classical musician, and her uncle a chief orchestra conductor who worked with artists like Mstislav Rostropovich. She learned piano as a child but embraced a rebellious streak inherited from her mother, which led her to explore her own path. In her teenage years, Lola Cerise became a regular at illegal raves, where she discovered acidcore, tribal, and tribe core. Lola has spoken openly about her mother’s battle with depression following her parents&#8217; divorce. That experience deeply shaped her independent mindset and hardworking attitude. Ironically, it was also her mother — who had herself dropped out of classical music school and joined Germany’s early techno scene — who supported Lola’s eventual career pivot into music. At 18, Lola moved to Lyon to study art and pursued photography professionally. She later dropped out of university, supporting herself by modeling for brands like A.P.C., Eric Tibusch, and Silvian Heach. After a few years, she realized photography wasn’t her calling and relocated to Australia, where she spent three years. During the pandemic, she reconnected with rave culture and began DJing — picking up professional gear from closing clubs. Within a year, she started producing and made a bold decision: to leave everything behind and start over in Paris, dedicating herself fully to music. Lola Cerise has since released on Gomboc Records, Comme des les Films, Khazad Records, and Record Union. Supported by the likes of Indira Paganotto, I Hate Models, and Cera Khin, she also landed a residency at the legendary Gotec Club and launched her own label, First Date Without Panties. Now cementing her name in the scene as a producer to watch, she’s delivered mixes for BCCO Berlin and a live stream with HÖR Berlin. In May, she’s set to release an 6-track mini-LP on Indira’s ARTCORE — a varied and exciting collection of tracks from the last two years that marks a milestone in her creative evolution. Lola’s music is a reflection of all her experiences — sometimes fast and intense, other times emotive and layered, but always with a narrative. Her mantra: “If it doesn’t make me smile, then I won’t finish it.” The post Lola Cerise | True Techno Podcast 90 appeared first on True Underground.

His break came in 2000 with his first EP on Carl Cox’s Intec imprint with “Play It Back”. Over the next couple of years he worked on his own imprint, launching MB Elektronics, with the first release in 2002 with “Caprioska”. The releases came flowing over the next few years, which saw the release of his critically acclaimed “Rube Boy” album back in 2004, soon followed by “Dragon Man” LP on John Digweed’s Bedrock in 2011. His most recent album was with 12 track “High Volume” released back in 2013 on MB Elektronics, dubbed by some techno aficionados as a masterpiece. It was at this time, he also released an up close and personal documentary “Marco Bailey”. His Electronic Force radio show has been a huge success from the get-go, with almost 300 episodes to date, he has had every artist on board from Carl Cox, Alan Fitzpatrick, Umek, Joseph Capriati, Sam Paganini and Carlo Lio. It’s heard by millions of listeners in more than 50 countries. Marco has been touring relentlessly throughout his career, he’s an artist who can say he has probably played at almost every club in the world, and been listed at the top of major festivals.

Established in the 90s, Misstress Barbara (wordplay between Miss and Stress) is a pioneering DJ/Producer and one of the first female superstar DJs who helped inspire future generations with her explosive Techno sets. Whilst headlining major festivals and events globally, there was a period in the ’00s when she was consistently voted inside of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs. Born in Italy, she moved to Canada at age 8. Curious and passionate by nature, she loves exploring new fields and reaching new goals. To name a few, she is a drummer, she has a glider and private pilot license, she graduated University in Communications/Cinema, she is a boat captain and sailing instructor, and she also launched her own bean-to-bar chocolate brand Barbon Chocolate, crafting everything by hand herself. A woman of many talents indeed. But among all of her passions, music was always her main focus since the start of her remarkable career, which has earned her multiple accolades (2001 Best Montreal International Music Initiative Award / 2002 UK Underground Music Awards’ Best Breakthrough DJ / 2009 GAMIQ’s Best Electronic Album of the Year Awards and 2010 Canada’s JUNO Awards’ Best Dance Album of the Year nomination for “I’m No Human” / 2014 MTL Awards’ Best Montreal DJ, to name a few). Her extensive discography is found among the world’s best Techno labels, including her own, launched in 1999 under the name Relentless, which became Iturnem in 2003. Barbara Brown used to be her alter-ego used for her softer productions, but she now releases all her music under her main name, regardless of the style, as she did for her albums I’m No Human and Many Shades of Grey. This might confuse her most loyal techno fans, although they should rest assured that she will never stray away from her first true love: Techno.

The young Portuguese Cisco discovered Acid House when he started clubbing in London in the 80s and since then his life&#8217;s goal has been about making his mark on the electronic music scene. Or, as he put it himself: “I’ve been doing this for quite a few years and I’m not going anywhere.” This sums it up pretty well. You won’t see him naked, shooting promo videos, carrying a dog, or publicly worrying about the sincerity of the average EDM jockey. He’s everything about techno you’ve learned to love, without the circus. Fresh out of college, Cisco’s hunger for sound landed him a job as assistant sound-engineer in several recording studios. There he learned about the art of translating feelings to frequencies, while at the same time recording various high profile artists from the world of Rock, Pop, Dance, and Reggae. When acid label ‘Jack Trax’ moved in next-door, Cisco started recording for the likes of Adonis, Fingers Inc, Marshall Jefferson, and Derrick May. These rendezvous sparked the inspiration for his first EPs on R&amp;S and Fragile. In 1994 Ferreira signed a record deal for 12 EPs and 3 albums together with Colin McBean. This was the beginning of an era during which the duo set a worldwide standard for high quality underground Electro and Techno. They hit the world with a refreshing sound, both as The Advent, and ‘G Flame (Cisco) and Mr G’, the alias Colin is still using. Nowadays The Advent is a solo project, bombarding crowds around the world with its trademark raw, energetic sound. After playing after festival and event during his tenure imaginable, we are truly honoured to welcome him to the series.

Hailing from a small village in western Ukraine, Xenia was born in 1996 and spent her childhood there. From a young age, she showed a keen interest in music and started playing musical instruments.

Realising that being a DJ was not enough, Xenia built a home studio in 2018 to produce her own music. She quickly became a resident at the legendary Kiev afterparty club, Heaven, and gained a loyal following in Ukraine. By the end of the year, Xenia was headlining club events and major festivals throughout her homeland. Xenia&#8217;s star continued to rise as she collaborated with Radio Intense, regularly releasing videos that showcased her talents. She also became an increasingly influential figure on the international electronic music scene, releasing tracks on prestigious labels like Codex, Set About, IAMT, and Stickrecrodings.

From the Inner City-referencing ‘Vertigo’, to the elegant techno on ‘Wilford’, part of DC150th release, and the 2020 collab ‘Mad World’ with good friend Luigi Madonna, his tracks have always been characterised by impeccable quality and a timeless sonic palette. Reinforcing his breadth, he’s also responsible for one of Truesoul’s greatest tracks to date, thanks to the 2015 classic ‘Never Stop’. ‘When The Lights Go Down’ EP continues the brain scrambling techno approach he displayed on ‘Mad World’, with all cuts featuring throughout the summer, including supports at Tomorrowland, Awakenings ADE, EDC Vegas and Movement Detroit. ‘Dish Ya Now’, is a rattling warehouse-ready weapon that pops with loads of retro stabs, while a tearing Reese bassline propels the energy throughout. The title track is a kaleidoscopic dancefloor trip that shows of Capuano’s impressive skills as a sound designer, as he ties together elements from rave, techno, acid and trance. ‘The Beginning’ has been bubbling since early 2020, first heard on the Italian’s Drumcode Indoors stream. Driven by a famous sample, but with Capuano’s own stealth spin on it, it’s beautifully effective and head-spinning.
