A long time coming, we are proud to present @athousanddetails at the helm of this month's ALT CAST.

Gustavo Lima, aka A Thousand Details can be considered possibly as one of the most important rising artist of Portugal ́s techno scene. In the recent years this Porto based producer has established himself at the forefront of Portugal ́s next generation of techno DJs. With releases in different labels, his home is ATD Records, a self-release label with a 100% Made in Portugal concept. Known for fast paced, dark and somewhat distorted rhythms this energetic and charismatic Dj is huge fan of hardware synthesizers, FXs, drum machines, Eurorack and his studio is own sanctuary of creation. Gustavo place emphasis on all crevices of the electronic music spectrum, which is reflected on side projects doing ambient and drone music and the sets he pieces together from his sound collection.

A Thousand Details has fast become recognized as a seasoned digger having the opportunity of playing throughout Portugal and at most of the major clubs in Porto such us GARE, Plano B as well as Neopop festival.

Born and bred in the suburbs of Stockholm, @lakej(Filip Ström) comes from a background in visual arts and graphic design. After many years in this field and some life changing experiences, he felt the need to move on to a more abstract medium. Already being fascinated by electronic music and techno in particular, the dive into production and hardware came natural.

With a huge love for details and rhythmic structures his music has evolved into an introspective, futuristic and yet timeless sound. With intricate textures, atmospheres and deep driving rhythms his music invites you to be swept away into hypnotic states, both in comfort of your own listening space as well as on the dance floor.

After debuting on the scene in 2017 with a full length EP on Adriana Lopez label Grey Report, his output has been steady with tracks for different VA releases and remixes on various labels as well as more recurring releases with 2 full length albums in 2021 on Semantica Records and Edit Select.

This month on ALT CAST, we are very excited to have a one hour exclusive mix from Detroit native and Brooklyn based artist: Arvin T. More about the artist below:

Arvin T is a Midwest born, Brooklyn based DJ. Raised in a musical household in the 80's and 90's, his older sisters and parents would play anything from disco, synth wave, industrial, to Persian pop music, and hip hop, the list is endless. His first foray into live music was his freshman year in college, when he and friends would attend pre-parties for Detroit Electronic Music Festival. After some time, he explored the house and techno scenes between Detroit and Chicago.

His move after college to Chicago exposed him to an entirely new area of music. Attending many club nights, he learned from Chicago house, to high energy, or even more melodic sounds and trance. He was making playlists and finding new music that he loved, adding to his musical palette.

Arvin’s sets can range from nu-italo and EBM, to hard trance and techno. His style started to form as he began to notice that the music he gravitated towards would have a signature '80s sound, but with a future and present twist. Influenced by the fresh sounds coming from Toulouse, Amsterdam, and Berlin, he curates his sets to be driving and relentless, while leading his audience through the entire spectrum of emotions.

Arvin T is currently a monthly resident at Hart Bar in Brooklyn, where he hosts his Harekat parties that invite local artists to come display their talent. The parties range from industrial techno and minimal, to house and italo. He has played in the New York City, Chicago, Miami, and Tampa areas.

Happy Holidays everyone! Here is a free download of the remix I did for Vohkinne. Not too long ago @collectivedetails did a remix contest for @craig-mcwhinney original track, and this is my entry. Aptly named after the vengeful Japanese spirit, this one has a more "ghostly" feel to it. I hope you all enjoy!
