Here is the seventieth instalment of our series "abc plays xyz".
Find links to all instalments at our overview. Today we present you SN 1Ø54's mix of tracks & remixes by Setaoc Mass.
She got into deep, atmospheric and moving forward techno music by raving nights at qualitative technoevents in Dresden, Leipzig & Berlin. Motivated by a friend she started soon to DJ by herself. She showed up at illegal raves and open airs, mainly together with the atopie crew (@atopiemusic) in Leipzig, followed by bigger gigs in Berlin and beyond.
For her, DJing comes close to therapy and through her sets she's telling her story.
As a DJ and producer, Setaoc Mass is part of a select cut of young artists who are absorbing techno's legacy and carrying the torch into tomorrow. Whilst overseeing his own imprint SK_eleven, his releases push a galvanising brand of techno, steeped in a sense of urgency, ever-propulsive with acute detailing and nods to a futuristic space-age. In addition to a debut release on Len Faki's Figure which has caught the eye of some of the scene's most respected DJ's. As a selector, the Mancunian's extended DJ sets pull from an expansive spectrum of material both new and old.
I selected Setaoc Mass because I fell in love with almost every release of him. It started in my very first beginning of deejaying with the release "K".
Beside enjoying his dj-sets as a journey through my mind he is satisfying my especially high requirements for mind-blowing, atmospheric, soul-touching and energetic techno music with his releases which are timeless and inspiring.
