The next cool techno podcast is made by Italian DJ and Producer Silvie Loto, an active part of Ellen Allien's BPitch for Soundwall. 

Silvie’s versatile sets mix house and techno and are heavily influenced by her love for the many faces of electronic music and the many hours spent collecting records from a young age.

More recently Silvie has showcased her wide palette of sounds delivering a range of productions, some including her own vocals, for Ellen Allien’s BPitch control.

Technics just announced its latest SL-1000R turntable. According to reviews, the deck will retail for $20,000, placing it in the outer reaches of the elite audiophile market.

The electronics giant broke the news at the CES tech conference in Las Vegas. Like the SP-10R, the SL-1000R aims for reference class playback quality, boasting a wow and flutter level of 0.015%, a 10mm thick brass weight platter and a new "unwanted noise reduction circuit." Its total weight comes in just over 40kg and Panasonic claims the turntable has the world's best signal to noise ratio. 

Aura Scarsella, Italian DJ and Producer, moved to Berlin and decided to investigate in musical knowledge by studying sound engineering, electroacoustics, sound psychology and specializing in Ableton Live and Logic.

Aura is ready with her January mix, playing tracks by Lisa Shaw, Daniel Leseman, Eli Escobar, Marcel Vogel, Kllo and more.
