Reclaim Your City

Championing a sound both high-octane and propulsive, Dotdat has
established himself as one of India's leading techno acts with releases
for acclaimed international imprints including Symbolism, Truncate, KSR
and more. Tapping in Goa's all-engulfing psychedelia, Dotdat pushes wild
uptempo grooves that go straight for the crowd's jugular with its
feverish mix of heavy-duty pound, hypnotic buildups and immersive
tribal-esque patterns. An epic-sized, trance-inducing tapestry of
frantic grooves and intricate polyrhythmic outbursts, Dotdat's RYC
contribution unleashes absolute controlled chaos upon us. No surrender.

Stepping up with two hours of entrancingly deep and immersive techno
folds, emerging French DJ Maemm beckons us onto a riveting sonic voyage
spanning dubbed-out scapes, eerie atmospheres and eruptive rhythmic
interplays. Exploring the confines of polymorphic abstraction through
reverb-soaked environments and shape-shifting architectonics, her mix
pays tribute to the complex, transcendental nature of techno music. As
she cuts a path of thought-provoking instruction with every bar, the
groove remains the main focal point in her trampling, mind-expanding
quest towards this souls convergence that gives any dance floor the kiss
of life. Deep dive mode activated.

Punching in this week, German-Ukrainian DJ and producer David Natochen
alias Chontane storms our waves with two hours spanning über-dynamic
grooves, choppy freqs, and further psychoactive uptempo sonics. Pulling
out all the stops as he beckons us down the path of entranced abandon,
Chontane puts on a wild parade of muscular kick drums, heavy-duty snares
and fevered analogue bursts out a hair-raising sci-fi narrative. Expect
a massive adrenaline rush at every junction, with every bar being a
suspenseful thriller of its own. Full-on immersive mix, surgical and
ruthlessly abrasive to the bone.

Championing a deeply inward-gazing, psychoactive strain of techno,
Amsterdam-based Italian DJ and producer Rosati steps in the series with
two hours spanning his largely cinematic, emotion-driven headspace. All
in on the looped-out psychedelia and hypnosis-inducing ostinatos,
Rosati’s sound is an ode to the narrative-building quality of pioneering
techno, reaching for that cosmic depth and driven by the urge to create
a utopian space for all to express and feel safe again. Whether it is
at the helm of his own record label, Global Pulse, or through his
releases for Dolly, the Italian artist keeps on carving out a lane of
his own, both retro-laced and decidedly future-facing, slowly but surely
driving crowds into a soothingly mesmeric kind of daze.

Expert in bass-heavy arsonism and heavily dubbed-out stunts, REEF
resident Esposito clocks in with a most massive two-hour rollout of
blazing riddims and stripped-down techno voodooism. Engineering a
surgical mix of sub-fueled menace, steely horsepower and rattling
drumwork on the prowl, Esposito has us submerged in an all-engulfing,
woofer-busting blast of dub esotericism and prototypical UK bass
assault. Dishing out a turbulent blend of aggressive machine funk,
stormy breaks and liquid reverbs with unrelenting poise, bar after bar,
the SPE:C affiliate fires off a much brutal reminder of why he’s one of
the best in the game when it comes to bridging dubstep and techno in the
most volatile, hi-octane way possible.
