TERMINAL V PODCAST 129 | TRIPTYKH

Dutch producer and DJ APHØTIC has moved fast since his first rave in 2019. He bought a mixer soon after, production followed closely behind and now he has an audience that's streamed his music millions of times worldwide. The name comes from the aphotic zone, the stretch of ocean sunlight never reaches, and it fits the music: aggressive, dark and relentlessly quick. In our interview, he talks about going all-in on schranz, why he's always four tracks ahead in the booth, and the year-long project he's finally ready to unveil spanning schranz, hard techno and hardcore. The mix is hard and fast throughout, recorded across four decks and is stacked with unreleased material of his own alongside gems from VLTN, RiVid, Lorenz B and many more. Rather than stacking banger on banger, he builds it as a story with long breaks, continuous beats and undiscovered cuts woven between the heavy hitters.

ACOR was just 14 when he travelled to Belgrade alone for his first 999999999 show, and that sense of fearlessness has carried him to where he is now - one of the most talked-about names at the harder end of European techno. Working entirely without formal training, the Novi Sad producer has built a sound that fuses acid, schranz and raw industrial texture into something abrasive and inescapably large in impact. It has come on labels such as EXHALE and Verknipt with plenty of support from tastemakers such as Amelie Lens, Dax J and 999999999 himself. For his Terminal V podcast, ACOR delivers exactly what his reputation promises: an hour of lacerating hard techno, laser-guided trance, schranz and bass built to frazzle minds. There's no overthinking in the selection either. By his own account, he just plugged in his USB and let instinct take over. In the accompanying interview, he talks about growing Serbia's scene, his psy-trance roots and hints at an album already in the works. >>> FOLLOW ACOR >>> @acor_ >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk

Music, for SERA J., is a state of mind - a means of interaction, inspiration and creation, not simply a career. Born Dimitrios Serasidis in Thessaloniki, Greece, and shaped by the Detroit techno lineage, he's spent over a decade building driving, detail-rich productions that fuse hardgroove intensity with hypnotic depth and landing releases on Mutual Rytm, Life in Patterns and Projekts along the way. As one half of Symbiosis with partner ANNĒ, and now stepping forward with his own live show, SERA J. has become one of Greece's most compelling techno exports. For this week's mix, he delivers an hour of dark, seductive, hard-edged techno that is moody, hypnotic and packed with old-school character, sharp selections and mixing that pulls you into his world rather than hands you everything at once. In the accompanying interview, he talks about growing up in the underground Greek scene, working alongside ANNĒ, and the lessons patience has taught him over a long, deliberate career. >>> FOLLOW SERA J >>> @sera__j_music >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk

Melbourne-based Nik Kastel is the latest in a long and impressive line of exciting techno exports from down under. The DJ, producer and live act has taken his high-intensity sound from the underground clubs of Melbourne to HÖR Berlin, our own Terminal V and many more hotspots festivals across Europe. With releases on Exetra, Reload and DSR Digital and millions of plays already behind him, Nik has built a sound that has proven itself in the club and is always as precise as it is relentless. For this mix, he’s gone deep into his own world, bringing together a stack of unreleased cuts, IDs and collaborations with the likes of BENZEN, 4SAKEN, SEMTEX and ASLØ. It's a proper snapshot of where his sound is heading next and a great accompaniment to the interview in which he allows us into his creative process, talks about the special feels of his hometown and more besides. >>> FOLLOW Nik Kastel >>> @nikkastel >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk Tracklist Nik Kastel - This Is Dangerous Goods (Unreleased) Sam Kitt - Eternal Alex Farell - Down Low (Unreleased) Nik Kastel x BENZEN - ID (Unreleased) Nik Kastel - Organized Chaos Alex Farell - Rockin The Party (Unreleased) Nik Kastel - Dance All Night Nik Kastel - Decimate (Unreleased) GALLØ - Escape Reality (Unreleased) Nik Kastel - No One T78 - Plur Nik Kastel x 4SAKEN - Elevate ASLØ - Get The F_ck Up (Unreleased) 4SAKEN - Showrun (Unreleased) Nik Kastel x SEMTEX - ID (Unreleased) Nik Kastel - Acid Raindrops Nik Kastel - G.T.F.U ASLØ - FUTC (Unreleased) Nik Kastel - On My Knees (Remix)

Homegrown rising star ASLØ is blazing a trail with sets that are fast, heavy and full of surprises. There’s always a playful side to what she does, with her seriously energetic mix of hard techno, acid and big rave energy often punctuated by the odd nostalgic curveball. She’s also known for creating tracks using an array of outboard gear, giving her productions an extra raw and authentic edge. ASLØ absolutely smashed it when she joined us at Terminal V back in April and again in Croatia last July, and she’s only just getting started. Ahead of her next chapter, she’s given us a snapshot of her current sound, digging deep into her unreleased folder to bring plenty of exclusives, alongside a few samples of old-school classics along the way. >>> FOLLOW ASLØ >>> @aslo_music >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk TRACKLIST: FLKN - I Need Acid ASLØ - Vox Sanctum ASLØ - 303 Rave Joyhauser - Knaldrang (MXGN, Deevey Acid Rework) The Prodigy - Omen (DICA Edit) Binary Squad - Hold Up Mulgi Project - Party In LA ASLØ- Basement Tool ASLØ - Whispers In The Real Life ASLØ - Acid Nation Dasama - My Empire N00M1 x Reny - Everybody In The House ROYAL - MY HOUSE PALØ - UTOPIA Warp Brothers, Flymeon - Phatt Bass NOYSE, MOHA - Hard To Kill Mitro - Fire To The Roof DeeYaz - Desolation Binary Squad - Rules Laxter - Club Banger ROYAL, Coupsy - Cameras Ready Malaa, Vorteks - Ghetto Mitro - I Like It ASLØ - Get The F_ck Up (Unreleased) ASLØ - Frisbee (On The Floor) (Unreleased) Radical Future - Punchline Malerba - Come Again (Unreleased) ASLØ - Renegade Master (Club Tool) (Extended Mix) Malerba - Conscious Rave (Unreleased) Restricted, Nik Sitz - Tunnel Vision (Junkie Kid Remix) Restricted, Nik Sitz - Tunnel Vision (PSP, PYREZ Remix) LOW E - MASTERS AT WORK Malerba, ASLØ - 90s Legacy (Unreleased) La Roux - In For The Kill (ASLØ Edit) (Unreleased)

The Naarm/Melbourne production line keeps on turning out essential new talent, with artists continuing to push the groovier end of the dance spectrum forwards. The latest to make their mark around the world, having established themselves back home, are Brodie Johnson and Alex Garces, aka 6 SENSE. They play with a driving momentum and restlessness that has seen them impress at venues across Australia, with their sights now set on expanding into Europe. This October, the pair join us at Terminal V London alongside the likes of Charlie Sparks, 999999999, Holy Priest and many more. Ahead of that, they serve up a taste of what to expect: >>> FOLLOW 6 SENSE >>> 6sense___ >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk

Terminal V was the first festival that GALLØ ever went to, and was the first place he heard one of his own tracks being played. Back in April, he played for the first time and opened one of the main stages in a way that truly announced his arrival on the scene. Since then, he has played all across the UK and Europe and continues to be a favourite artist of EXHALE boss Amelie Lens, who released his first-ever tune. The Scottish artist has a sound that sits at the intersection of hard techno, acid, bounce and trance, always with neon colours and future sound designs that take you into a parallel world. All of that is laid out on his punchy, vibrant mix for us this week, with plenty of unreleased material of his own sat next to the likes of Charlotte De Witte, MXGN and Alignment. Tune in while you get the lowdown on his journey so far. >>> FOLLOW GALLOØ >>> @gallomusic__ >>> FOLLOW US >>>@terminalvfest Soundcloud - @terminalvfest Facebook - www.facebook.com/terminalvfest/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/terminalvfest/ Twitter / X - X.com/TerminalVFest --------------------------- Terminal V 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Croatia 2026 - terminalv.co.uk/festival/ Terminal V Records - terminalvrecords.co.uk

Zurich-born, self-taught and self-made, Jasmin Fumagalli aka Jazzy, has never chased trends, and it shows. From underground raves to genre-fluid sets spanning hard techno, harderstyles and trap, her sound - and her striking stage presence - is built entirely on instinct rather than imitation. With releases coming via Zentryc Records and a relentless 2026 tour schedule taking in Tomorrowland, Creamfields and beyond, Jazzy's star continues to rise. The freestyle mix she has provided is so intricately woven together, with loops teased in and out and layered up tightly, that a tracklist is almost impossible. Instead, turn it up loud and bathe in walls of distortion, scuzzy hard techno, twisted trance and big room bounce, all of which is designed to awaken every single fibre of your being. Stick it on as she talks TikTok stigma, ditching perfectionism, and why authenticity always wins. >>> FOLLOW JAZZY >>> @Jasmin-fumagalli >>> FOLLOW US >>> Soundcloud - @terminalvfest

KLOUD is a perfect alias for an artist whose take on hard techno has an ominous presence that looms larger over any dance floor he plays. The enigmatic American shares very little personal detail online, instead offering up only his cinematic blend of techno, electro and industrial-tinged house, all wrapped in the mystique of his masked persona. This summer, he joins us at Terminal V Croatia, where he will again cast his spell, a taste of which you can get in this exclusive mix, which is packed full of fresh, hard-hitting and uncompromising sound that's earned him a global following. We caught up with him to talk about the state of techno in the US versus Europe, why he only plays his own productions, the freedom his anonymous identity affords him, and how an ear injury has changed the way he performs. >>> FOLLOW KLOUD >>> @wearekloud >>> FOLLOW US >>> Soundcloud - @terminalvfest
