BORS SESSIONS 017 - KETZAAL & ÅRE:GONE
We’re back with our podcast series, this time with a set recorded live during the latest
@mutual.mutual.mutual event in Boston, Massachusetts 🎙️
Ketzaal, born in Madrid and now rooted in Boston’s underground, works in a dark, textural strain of techno that stays tightly focused on movement.
As the founder of Mutual, he channels the same ethos into shaping spaces built for deep listening and collective immersion. His approach aims at transformation through mind-bending tension, hypnotic groove, and soundscapes built to pull dancers inward until the room feels altered.
A deeper search for purpose in music drives his fixation on purity: stripped rhythms, immersive atmospheres, and emotional release carried through motion.
Grounded in the foundational vocabulary of techno yet intent on pushing its edges forward, Ketzaal is carving a distinct line through North America’s landscape and beyond.
Jorge Cebrián aka Åre:gone, from Havana, Cuba, is positioned among the first lines of contemporary Techno. With almost 10 years of experience, he has transited through various expressions of the genre, standing out for his characteristic groovy, organic and Cuban touch.
In 2017 he founded with a group of friends the Rusty Nails collective, a space to promote the underground techno culture poorly known at that time in his country. Standing out for his long and liked sessions, which led him to gain the respect of the national public.
Helping to build the solid foundations of what today is the Cuban techno scene. In 2022, he co-founded, together with other artists of national renown, what is today the Vórtice. The collective has become the main pillar of the national scene.
