Since 2003 YAPACC has also been a member of the project «Narcotic Syntax» with James Dean Brown, which certainly has been an important part of the Perlon history. In the same year they released their first Perlon 036 «Ping Pong Voodoo», which was followed by plenty more on compilations and live analogue performances up until the present day.

This week episode at Microtechno Podcast is a live session from Romania's Cristian Lazar, since his very childhood Cristian felt a special attraction to sound, later at an older age this attraction turned into an affinity for the sounds of techno and house. He has studied the different perspectives of music in order to develop a personal style and technique and he feels its his momentum to look over the fence for more challenges and experience. The session was recorded live at Club Infinity in Galati, Romania.

Keep looking for Cristian releases as he is currently working in an upcoming EP for Moon Lake Records.

This week our guest session comes from the U.S. with San Diego based Marcel, he is a young producer and DJ who explores the deep, dark, and minimal sides of house music. He is influenced by music that expresses simplicity and creativity. Marcel mixes his sets in a story telling fashion, and likes to blend tracks together. Visit him on his soundcloud profile at @marcelturenne .

On this episode we feature a exclusive session from Czech Republic’s Jag Kiranmay (@jagkiranmay). He has been playing in major events since 2001 and contributing with finely crafted releases through the London based imprint Seva Records. Sonically speaking, he is hard to pin down. The influences of Jag’s diverse career can be easily heard throughout his releases on the In-House label. Jumping from genres such as funky, vocal and tech-house to ambient and chill out, each track highlights his ability to adapt to different areas. Certainly he is a fan of contrasting styles, Jag claims that he avoids ‘classifying’ music – as he likes to sum it up concisely, “what’s good is good”.

Athea may be a new beginning for James Dutton, but his dance music roots run deep. Half man, half motherboard since he learned to weave a wire as a bairn, Athea speaks the language of technology and bends it to his musical whim.

Dutton’s passions took him beyond clubbing to study music technology in Leeds, but it was back to the dance floor they returned when he crossed the pond for the mecca of dance music culture and landed himself residencies at two of the most iconic venues in Ibiza, and the world, Cafe Del Mar and Amnesia.

Exploring all corners of the industry, Dutton became technical manager for some of the most high profile clubbing venues in the UK and Ibiza, whilst maintaining his Cream residency, moving dance floors from the booth right across Europe, and making his mark in production from within the studio.

Expertly crafting emotion and rhythm from a synthetic world, Dutton’s productions have support from the heavyweights. Deep and dark house with a groove that runs through you like a current, his tunes have been snapped up by Gregor Tresher’s Break New Soil, Alive recordings and Great Stuff. Tunes like ‘Dancing With Strangers’ and ‘Tesla’ found their way to crowds through Marco Carola, Sasha, Steve Lawler, John Digweed, with Richie Hawtin regularly opening sets with ‘Kepler' for a summer.

A decade percolating deep within the music industry and a lifetime of musical appreciation stands behind the new alias, Athea. The debut EP out soon on Hot since 82's Knee Deep In Sound Imprint sound marks the beginning of a new phase, which will see Athea spark the life into dancefloors worldwide.

On this first episode of 2016 we are proud to present the Budapest-based Hungarian producer/double bassist Dovim (Traum Schallplatten / MBF), he has been in a very strong connection with music since he was seven years old, after many years of cello studies, he started focusing on different instruments (guitar, bass and keyboards) and electronic music, as a classical musician he graduated from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and since 2010 has been playing around the world with major Hungarian Orchestras. A growing claim to produce his own music led him to start to experiment with synthesis, sampling and composing.

In October 2015, his EP “Scolopendra” came out on Traum’s sublabel My Best Friend (MBF). Later in December 2015 his track “Mare Frigoris” was featured on the widely-known compilation Tour de Traum XI on the Traum label.
