I am proud to announce the launch of "Taiko," a new techno mix series from myself that draws its inspiration from the powerful rhythms of the Japanese drum.

In Japanese culture, the taiko drum holds a sacred place, embodying strength, unity, and tradition. Now, "Taiko" brings that same energy to the world of electronic music, fusing ancient beats with cutting-edge techno sounds to create an immersive auditory experience unlike any other.

ALT CAST is proud to present our 22nd episode with NYC's very own @bralletechno at the helm. Bralle is no stranger to the techno scene as his mind bending tracks and sets have seen him release on prestigious labels such as Joton's Newrhythmic among others. More about the artist below!

BRÄLLE is a creative project born out of both fear and necessity. Prior to emerging on the techno scene with 2017’s ‘Dream State’, BRÄLLE had already spent nearly a decade composing albums and relentlessly touring globally in the underground Death Metal and Hardcore scenes. After leaving that world, the insatiable urge to create visceral and emotive productions did not fade, and as a result, BRÄLLE was born. This history has given the producer a unique perspective on the current global scene, highly removed from the cliques and trends that dominate the culture. The sound of BRÄLLE is swarming, psychedelic, and undeniably modern.

For this month's ALT CAST we are excited to present a 60 minute exclusive mix from NYC's: DJ Tonight. Get ready for some funky tunes to help you power through your week. Thank you to Nick for the mix! More about the artist below.

DJ Tonight, AKA Nick Kassebaum, is an American DJ / Producer who got his starts playing house music to dive bars off of cheap controllers. His passion for getting the party going and reading the crowds energy only led him to taking DJing more seriously as the years went on, where he would start his own collective and organize collaborative music releases and event organization throughout the New York City area.

Nicks music is energy driven first - whether it be bubbly broken beat with off kilter sub basslines or aggressive synth driven high-bpm techno. His notable performances include playing alongside artists such as Felicie, Umfang, Joton, and many other artists that he has hosted with his label / collective series Regression. This series he created has also hosted parties with hundreds of attendees and gained a following of thousands.

His latest venture is in the house music realm with this side project, DJ Tonight, where he is exploring the lighter sounds of deep dreamscape style house and breaks music, trancier uplifting tunes and dubbed out daytime stompers.

Continue to follow Nick along his musical journey through his collective Regression or though his personal DJing and music releases.
