NUDE is a sub-brand of Data Transmission focusing on Techno.
Berlin’s Jonas Xenon takes control of the **NUDE Techno Podcast** today with 27 tracks of rolling, hypnotic techno built firmly for dark rooms and late hours.
Coming from a drum and bass background, Xenon’s music has always carried that sense of movement. The tempos may have changed, but the restless grooves, tight percussion and pressure are still there. Add his taste for old-school techno aesthetics and synth-led arrangements, and you get a sound that feels direct without being stuck in the past.
That carries straight into this mix. In his own words, it is “a blend of driving rollers influenced by the early 2000s,” and the tracklist backs that up. Tommy Four Seven, Cleric, Gary Beck, Regis, Phil Berg, Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot all feature, alongside newer cuts from the likes of Nizre, Cirkle and Machinegeist.
The special ingredient is the synth work. Rather than chasing big drops, Xenon keeps the tension moving through repeating lines, stripped drums and tracks that lock together properly. It is the sort of set that makes more sense the deeper you get into it.
His personal pick is **Machinegeist’s ‘Solid Shapes’**, forthcoming on Xenon’s own **Headlight Recordings**, while another Machinegeist cut, ‘Sensory Deprivation’, also makes an appearance.
The mix lands just after Xenon released his six-track **‘Shine Through Tinted Glass’ EP** on Headlight Recordings on 14th August. The record moves through dub-infused techno with a breakbeat detour and includes two collaborations with DAMIANO (DE).
There is plenty more moving behind the scenes too. Xenon has two collaborative EPs with Michael Rosmann lined up for **Mouche Records** and **Headlight Recordings**, while work is underway on a first hybrid live set with Mython, due to premiere in Berlin this October. He has also just returned from New York, where he recorded his first hardware-only EP for **Blackcat Recordings**.
For now though, the focus is the mix. Twenty-seven tracks, plenty of pressure and no wasted space.
