This weeks podcast is mixed by Savas Pascalidis. In 1999 he founded his own record label Lasergun Records, as the perfect platform for his special brand of futuristic funked out and stripped down techy disco grooves. Ten years later on and his new label project called Sweatshop has been launched with the inaugural release by him called “Deep Inside Your Eyes”.
.
For his podcast he delivers a grooving techno workout with what I’d call a Detroit-meets-Berlin approach. With everything from surface noise to the occasion drift and featuring producers like Omar S., Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin and Robert Hood it goes a long way to capturing the vibe of quality techno.
.
A long time DJ of 20 years, Savas started his career as a House/Disco DJ in southern Germany in the 80’s. He became a resident in what could be regarded as some of the most influential and forward-looking clubs in Germany during that era. In 1990/91 he hosted Stuttgart’s first techno nights and helped pioneer a sound that went on to dominate floors all over europe. It was also during the 90′s that he built up his reputation for delivering non-nonsense minimal, Detroit, house, and techno “rave” sets.
.
As a producer Savas has been putting out tracks since the mid 90′s. With a string of releases on DJ Hells’ seminal techno label International DeeJay Gigolo Records, he’s also seen been released on other important labels like 909 Pervertions, Loriz Sounds, UFO, Mote-Evolver, Figure SPC, and his own Lasergun and Sweatshop imprints. All of this simply lends testimony to his ability as a producer, and has helped cement his reputation as one of the driving forces in European techno.
.
I hope you enjoy the mix!
