Back to basics, smaller setup, old mixer for clipping duties. Got myself the rd9 for a try, check how it sounds 😅 Actually you don't hear the rd9 at al,l here I use it as a sequencer. I had the intention to do some more classic techno attempts and look what we got...maybe for the next one. Feels good to escape the 4/4 loop though. No post eq or compression, just leveled up the thing

Throwback to my set in Paris at @miamao_paris for @lycanthropie_paris it was such an honor to be invited by @manulemalin.thedriver and play alongside legends and talents like @lennydeeisr @ma__cka @substencia and ofc manu himself. And I'm finally able to share you that full set, just find it on youtube. I really pushed myself to deliver those sounds coming out from my modular setup and octatrack so find it, listen to it, share it, it's for you, for free. Cams from @mich.pht thx for the waves, shootout to @reer_community for the support and long live @mknk.records for making this happen, pics and emotional support by @stellium_7 FULL SET ON YT LINK IN BIO #eurorack #techno #hardtechno #hardcore #technohardcore #rave #technoliveset #hardcoreliveset #clubmusic

2025 recap... well not so much "content" but a lot of work in the shadow. Released my 1st ep on @mknk.records , big shootout to @manulemalin.thedriver for the support, released a remix for mighty @denshacrisis ' glorious vinyl project on @karnagerecords , worked my ass off for a new liveset that i got to play at @lycanthropie_paris @miamao_paris that was mind-blowing. Otherwise i've been accumulating other finished and unfinished tracks and collabs, overall pushed my sound to be harder, wilder and I've been enjoying this process a lot, been digging the nerdseq-octatrack combo as a liveset mastermind, started to shoot some jams at home and outside of marlen I have been touring in Japan with my dear doom sludge @ezel_band , worked in Marseille, Tunis and ofc Brussels for some great theater projects, renovating my place and that's maybe the biggest part of it according to the amount of knowledge I needed to digest, the sweat of heavy labor and Goddamnit that's far from being over... and last but not least I celebrated our 10 years relationship with my dear Shadé. No lures here. Next year will be darker: geopolitics, ai, wars, climate change are more and more real; paradigms are shifting and it smells like fascism is going to eat us. Raw. But I more and more find a meaning in crafting my art, year after year; more and more distortion to cure my soul... my head is full of sonic dreams and I can't wait to extract them to real life in 2026. Best to all of you

🔥 Marlen’s « Dream & Lure » is out 🔥 It's release day ! MKNK and the French producer @marlen__live were meant to be. 'Dream & Lure', his fourth EP, is the result of his exploration of hardcore music (but not only), as always on his modular system. Concluding with an incredible remix of @denshacrisis .

While thinking of 2024, the first thing that comes to my mind is that this year has shown us horrors of colonialism on a daily basis However looking back at 2024 on a personal note i can say i fulfilled my urge to produce more breaky mental tracks and i deeply feel that the process of making it has open a door to better workflow and that there is a lot more to explore. My head is full of sonic dreams. I played some cool lives too, added the octatrack in my modular liveset, got picked up by @reer_community , and released 7 tracks, 1 remix and 2 livesets on @revokrecords , @mutant_modality , @glanzundelendberlin and @reer_community again. Met a lot of cool ppl through and 2025 looks promising and busy already and definitely more hardcore. Thanks a lot for the support and gabbers for Palestine every day.
