    Volte-face has emerged as a key figure in London’s techno scene and beyond, thanks to an impressive list of releases on his label BleeD Music, collaborations with artists like Daniel Avery and Blind Observatory, and the diverse, deep DJ sets which remain the staple of his work.

  • 17 – Antonio Vázquez

    Antonio Vázquez hails from Seville, Spain, but learnt his art as a DJ in Madrid in the 2000s. After moving to Berlin in 2011, he began focusing his energy on producing and mixing deep techno, while never losing his eclectic edge. He has released on such forward-thinking labels as Shaded Explorations, Hypnus Records, and Semantica Records, while taking up bookings at clubs including ://about blank, Komme, psuescho_club, B/RUT, Research, Tresor and Berghain. Distinguished by atmospheric and organic timbres, his music floats between austere minimalism and vivid expansiveness, but never loses its drive and urgency. This kaleidoscopic fusion of elements characterises his mix for Patterns of Perception. “I don’t have a phone, I don’t need to eat too much, I don’t need to spend so much money. I’ve reduced the… I wouldn’t say my needs, but wills. I worked a lot in the past years and I discovered, why do I work so much? To go on holidays? Why am I not living like I’m on holidays? This is how I’ve reached the peace that I have.” Read our interview with Antonio here. Antonio Vazquez's Links: SoundCloud Resident Advisor

  • 18 – A. Brehme

    Since beginning his electronic music career as a seventeen-year-old immersed in the prevalent 160+ BPM rhythms of the time, A. Brehme has since shifted his focus to the hypnotic textures and slower grooves of deep techno. A key resident at Brussels’ Technoon day parties alongside Peter Van Hoesen, A. Brehme is also a fixture at the legendary Fuse nightclub. In addition to his appearances as a DJ, he has a serve of deep, psychedelic productions slated for release later in 2017 through an exciting new Belgian label and his own imprint Sonata Forma. Patterns of Perception 18 exemplifies his style, with an hour of driving, hypnotic techno, edged with hallucinogenic and melancholic detail. A.

  • 22 – A Strangely Isolated Place

    London-born, LA-based Ryan Griffin began A Strangely Isolated Place a decade ago as a manifestation of his love for collecting and sharing music. The project soon grew into a vinyl label and a community of artists sharing a reverence for a diverse and esoteric range of genres, from ambient to electronica, modern classical to techno. Artists releasing on the label currently include Merrin Karras aka Chymera, Arovane, Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri, Purl, and Markus Guentner. This atmospheric selection incorporates into A Strangely Isolated Place’s signature sound additional elements of the trance and house music genres on which Ryan cut his DJing teeth. An organic approach to selection and mixing ensures a richly layered collage that manages to take some startling turns while remaining effortlessly cohesive throughout.

  • 23 – Cyspe

    With his solo project Cyspe, Robin Koek of Artefakt paints deep, electronic atmospheres inspired by nature, cybernetics and architecture. This podcast is a very personal voyage through Cyspe’s record collection, moving from charged drone atmospheres, old tape experiments and dissonant voices into the ‘braindance’ works and melancholy of the early 90s, slowly diverging into early Japanese minimal techno and modern syncopations: a full spectrum eclectic journey that is crafted to resonate within the body, the mind and the all-encompassing spirit. It comes in the lead-up to Cyspe’s first live set at Patterns of Perception, on 22 September 2017 at OHM Berlin.

  • 25 – Serena Butler

    One of the most exciting talents to have emerged out of Italy’s techno scene in recent years, Serena Butler has released on Marco Shuttle’s Eerie Records, Konstrukt and on the new imprint Bene Tleilax, of which she is one of the founding members. As defiant of genre categorisations as of gender binaries, Serena’s work as a DJ and producer draws energy from the concepts of a post-humanity and post-gender future. Fittingly, it conforms to few expectations. This selection builds on diverse musical sources to project a futuristic vision of dark and light, shadow and sight.

  • 26 – Hydrangea

    Hydrangea’s life as a producer and DJ began relatively recently, when in 2014 she began expressing the quietness, wonder and intensity of nature in techno. For this prodigious French talent, creating and selecting music is an act of entering a deeper dimension, both transcendent and grounded in the hypnotic beauty of the natural world. As a producer, she has released her own productions – which are lucid, mesmerising, arresting – on Annulled Music, Two-Two Records, and Silent Season. As a DJ, she is equally inspired by the dancefloors she plays to across Europe as by the nature around her home. She describes this mix for Patterns of Perception as a musical trip for one of her walks in the forest, creating an inner journey while being connected with the surroundings. Wherever you happen to listen to it, we are confident it will have a similar effect on you.

  • 27 – Fugal

    Hailing from Seattle, Korean-American artist Fugal expresses both dynamism and nuance. As part of the secondnature collective, he’s one of the driving forces behind a string of renowned events in Seattle and the US, as well as an impressive young label which has seen contributions from fellow secondnature residents Archivist and Simic, along with S.Moreira and Svreca. Now based in Berlin, Fugal has continued to refine his rhythmic, emotive sound, with gigs across Berlin and abroad. On the production front, 2017/18 has proven to be a fruitful period, with a recent co-release with Archivist on Volte Face’s BleeD imprint, and his sophomore secondnature release coming up in mid-February. With his contribution to the Patterns of Perception mix series, Fugal has taken a measured approach, veering away from more functional dancefloor sounds, and instead drawing inspiration from the warmth found amongst the grey Berlin winter. Toeing the line between experimental sounds and deep techno, Fugal’s mix delves into the intricate – focusing on musical phrases and creative transitions between widely varying tempos.

  • 28 – DBR

    An unerringly astute selector and producer, DBR is among the most exciting of young acts within the buzzing Melbourne scene. With an affinity for texture and sound design owing to his background as a sound designer for games and film, his productions and DJ sets heave with dissonance and unpredictability, yet are charged with echoes of emotion and melodic complexity. Patterns of Perception 28, recorded live on vinyl and digital in his home studio, encapsulates his unique musical leanings, and at the same time represents the cutting edge of ambient/experimental electronic music. Layers of electronics dance with organic acoustics to create a vivid, compelling whole. DBR's Links: SoundCloud

  • 31 – John Osborn

    John Osborn moved to Berlin in the late 1990’s, in the aftermath of the fall of the wall, when the city was heaving with electronic music and full of empty spaces in which creativity could thrive. From his first gig at WMF, on the bill alongside Dixon and Mitja Prinz, to his residency at Panorama Bar for Scuba’s famed SUB:STANCE parties, he quickly became a regular fixture in the local electronic music scene – and has remained there since. As the head of DRED (and formerly of TANSTAAFL RECORDS), John has found space to express his creativity away from the dancefloor, both as a producer/remixer and as a selector and champion of emerging and established artists. This adroit, blistering mix is a live recording of his sunrise set from Patterns of Perception’s Two Years party at About Blank on 5-6 May, 2018.

  • 33 – Hiyoshi

    Long-time resident of The Labyrinth, Hiyoshi’s vivid, contemplative ambient mixes draw together musical elements from a diversity of sources, yet retain a rare purity of emotion and atmosphere. With Patterns of Perception 33 Hiyoshi aims to capture the essence of his most affecting sets of the past year, including at Sound Garden, Labyrinth, and One party, while also paying respect to friends and artists who’ve mentored and supported him. The result is a lucid, ethereal selection, a dance in the diffuse sunlight, on the surface of the lake, always hinting at the depths below. Hiyoshi Links: SoundCloud
