Techno master Joey Beltram releases an exclusive mix for Halocyan records in celebration of his new Dosem remix that came out last month along...

He started listening to Tiga and Boys Noize and making rudimentary electro on Ableton. After a low-key release on an American label, he broadened his sound palette and found his music ending up in the inbox of Alex Ridha, aka Boys Noize.

Following the success of Ben UFO’s all night set at London’s Autumn Street Studios back in October, the Make Me crew return this month with a mission to bring Berlin to East London.

Ask any serious fetishist their Top 10 list of synthesisers they would love to own and all but the most awkward will list the Korg MS20 in a very high position. However, owning one of these classics is a costly endeavour, assuming one can be found at all. But now thanks largely to the rising popularity of hardware synthesisers within the production community it is possible to own a brand-new MS20 Mini, which is a faithful recreation of the Korg MS20, for a fraction of the cost of the original.

A Sagittariun has been involved in the electronic music scene for the best part of 25 years — running labels, representing artists, producing under other names. He won’t tell DJ Mag who he is, hiding behind a silly mask, but we don’t mind because his new EP, ‘Across the Celestial Sphere’, and forthcoming ‘Dream Ritual’ album are so sublime.
“A Sagittariun is a very personal project, I’m making the music that comes most naturally to me, to be honest,” he tells DJ Mag, “and not really compromising or playing the industry game.”

Cited as an influence by techno founding father Juan Atkins, Richie Hawtin and Boys Noize amongst many others, Numan’s strangely isolationist experimental synth-pop gatecrashed the charts in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s as tunes like ‘Are Friends Electric?’ and ‘Cars’ permeated into mainstream consciousness.
