Coward is Carl Ritger, aka Radere, and John Templeton, the man behind the Great American Techno Fest. Together, the Denver-based purveyors work tirelessly to connect the dots between noise and techno, exploring and celebrating a variety of topographies in electronic music.

Those of you who are familiar with their work will know what to expect from this mix: immersive textures, deep driving selections, expertly blended techno.

If you have yet to catch either of these guys in action, keep your ears peeled. The duo are scheduled to bend minds in Athens at the FASMA festival, followed by a hometown performance alongside Cassegrain.

John also has a number of solo DJ gigs coming up in the next few weeks:

"Oh me? Next weeks are crazy. Berlin Friday, then two in Serbia April 1, 2 and then a solo gig after Fasma, but still in Athens on April 16. Back to NY for a gig April 23 and then Seattle on May 7."

In the meantime, enjoy this mix, recorded using three turntables, a Xone 92 mixer, Serato, and a Korg Kaoss Pad. We feel very lucky to be able to share it with you, and would like to express our gratitude to John and Carl.
