Hypnotic, tribal, and dub techno are on the menu for this Dômesicle, featuring Berlin-based producer and DJ Lars Huismann alongside Montreal’s Esther Côté b2b newfriend.
A prominent figure in the German techno scene, Lars Huismann comes to the SAT for a deep dive into the dub and tribal techno legacy of Jeff Mills and Oliver Ho, propelled by fierce 909 percussion and textures inspired by the 1990s and 2000s. To warm up the dancefloor, Esther Côté and newfriend join forces for a back-to-back that reflects both of their sonic worlds: on one side, an atypical and sensitive form of techno; on the other, a rhythmic approach shaped by percussion, house, and bass music.
Berlin-based producer and DJ Lars Huismann has been carving out his own sonic niche within the techno landscape since 2011. Early explorations on his own LHR imprint laid the foundation for a sound deeply rooted in dub techno influences, blending old-school aesthetics of early 2000s styles with modern production techniques. This approach crystallized in his celebrated “Sounds From The Past” trilogy on Mutual Rytm.Throughout subsequent releases like “Catharsis,” (Mutual Rytm) Huismann continued to evolve, drawing on harder, darker sonic palettes without losing his characteristic depth and complexity.
Co-founder of evening unlimited, Esther Côté brings a love for the quirkier edges of techno — exploring shadow and softness, movement and stillness through sets that feel deep, unusual, and textural.
