FACETS Podcast #116: LANI AKEA

LANI AKEA means “immeasurable sky” and symbolizes our cosmic home. She takes listeners on a sonic journey through the infinite vastness of the universe. Her sound is characterized by a hypnotic mix of techno, hard techno, and psychedelic elements, blending different intensities into a powerful, forward-moving force. Since August 2025, she has been a resident DJ at Kiss Klub in Die Rakete, one of Nuremberg's most influential techno series for over 22 years. In addition to Nuremberg, she has performed in cities such as Berlin and Mannheim. In her sets, she bridges the gap between techno and hard techno. She builds tension and momentum from the start, introducing harder elements as the set evolves and intentionally adding psychedelic accents. The result is a sound that appeals to those who love hypnotic, driving sounds as well as those who seek uncompromising intensity. That's exactly what LANI AKEA is: Tension. Momentum.

FACETS Podcast #113: Nohap (Live-Set)

From the first crackle of Electro, 90's House & Boom Bap tracks 15 years ago, Nohap carved out a restless energy that would later find its distinct form in various interpretations of Techno, always inspired by the infallible raw energy and realness back in the day. Marking his presence with EPs on Nulleins Records and COUP in the last years and pushing his productions quite filthy and intense, Nohap’s equally powered vinyl sets are also loaded with a decent and pounding force that answers your body’s raw needs. -- FACETS Podcast Episode 113: Nohap SC: https://soundcloud.com/nohap IG: https://www.instagram.com/nohap94/ https://lnk.bio/nohap
