About

Stef Mendesidis is one of the best live acts in techno. Few approach the form with the combination of rigor and raw intensity that he does. Mendesidis has, over the last decade plus, developed an exceptional command of hardware synths and sequencers, bringing to life a fully-realized sonic world that is all his own. Beyond the impressive feat of exclusively performing live, Mendesidis’ tracks are, top to bottom, brazen and thrilling showstoppers. From the rough edged perfection of his early Klockworks EPs through to last year’s label-launching EP on his own Exaiter, Mendesidis never misses. On “Exaiter 01” he even has a track titled, simply, “Techno.” What can we say? He’s earned it. Sera J steps back in the booth. A Mutual Rytm affiliate, Sera J’s productions throb with heart pounding urgency. In his solo tracks and many collaborations with ANNĒ, the Greek artist hits with surgical accuracy and a barely-contained wildness. BASEMENT resident LYDO finds the throughline between expansive, meditative lushness and pulsating, seismic techno. An artist of remarkable range and unalloyed vision, LYDO’s clarity of vision and carefully-attuned ear have made them a standard bearing in NY and beyond.
