As a co-curator and resident DJ of Patterns of Perception, Steve Duncan aims to always infuse a sense of vibrancy and diversity into the sonic palette of his sets and musical offerings. A focus on rhythm and narrative allows him to traverse a range of sounds and moods, and challenges him to continually dig and refine his musical vision. With Patterns of Perception 42 – his second outing since the very first edition some two and half years ago – Steve has created a soundscape filled with slow grooves, rough textures and vibrant interjections. It seeks to bridge home listening and dancefloor sensibilities, with driving moments countered with contemplative experimental pieces.

Since first playing at the second Patterns of Perception back in 2016, techno veteran Yuka, has bestowed a special beat upon Patterns of Perception’s heart. With interests that span painting, sculpture, design and music, Yuka’s unique groove – which is as deep and psychedelic as it is lucent and energetic – has captivated dancers across the globe. Meanwhile, her productions, out on Full Panda Records, Semantica Records, Silent Season and soon on Kalawila’s Mountain Explosion Device are ornate, magical, and profound. Her Patterns of Perception 41 perfectly captures the rich threads in her musical tapestry. Yuka's Links: Facebook SoundCloud Resident Advisor Bandcamp

Eluize is many things: a producer, DJ, and label head, whose passions over the years have ranged from maths to (more recently) motherhood – both of which and more she discusses in an upcoming interview with us. Her label, Night Tide, whose mission is deep melodic underground electronic music, has released music from Albrecht La’Brooy, Ena Cosovic, and Hans Berg. Based in Berlin but with a foot still firmly grounded in her hometown of Adelaide, Eluize’s productions and mixes span techno, house, acid and more, fuse acoustic instrumentation with synths and machines, creating textures that are spacious, euphoric and rhythmically alluring. Her Patterns of Perception 43 is at once precise, vivid and lush, a perfect antidote to the gathering darkness of Berlin’s coming winter.

Developing her style from age 17 in the squats and industrial spaces of Basel, Timnah Sommerfeldt’s warm, reverberating techno cuts span the genre and beyond. Through residencies at Hinterhof Bar and (nowadays) Elysia and her monthly radio show “Home” on Radio Ghost Town (which she co-hosts with Garcon), Sommerfeldt’s sets effortlessly transcend elements of electro, techno and house music, featuring strong emotional narratives and an intuitive understanding of dancefloor dynamics. Her Patterns of Perception 51 is no exception, weaving sounds from across the musical spectrum into a poignant and compelling narrative that pulses with echoes of drum & bass, ambient and techno: a whole truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Alexander Berg and Robin Jonsson – best known by their monikers Dorisburg and Kalawila – have been friends for a decade but collaborators for barely a moment. What has emerged so far from this is quite something: rhythmic yet immersive, capricious yet lucid, Avancera is the electronic sound of tomorrow. Driven to create music that combines their two unique spheres of inspiration, yet exists in a single, almost-mythical universe, Avancera demonstrates what can result when virtuoso visions collide, combine, and ultimately synchronise. This very special Patterns of Perception 52 precedes Avancera’s world-first performance at Patterns of Perception on 28 June at OHM Berlin.

Hailing from Gothenburg, Arkajo a.k.a. Nils Krogh has risen to prominence through consistently superb output, both in his own right and as one half of Genius of Time, the moniker he shares with close friend and long-time collaborator Dorisburg. Having already released essential cuts on Aniara Recordings and Clone’s Royal Oak imprint, his own ARKAJO label recently put out a joint EP, Void Pyramid, featuring both him and Dorisburg at their evocative and rhythmic best. Patterns of Perception 54 perfectly encapsulates the artist’s deep, emotive and irresistibly groove-laden sound, which expertly joins together elements of house, acid and breaks with his own unique vision of techno.

Miss Jay‘s evocative DJ style has a unique narrative quality, flowing seamlessly between aesthetics, moods and textures. Currently based in Amsterdam, her residency at Groningen’s OOST club has functioned as the springboard for her seamless sonic explorations through genres, colours, tones and temperatures. With notable recent performances at festivals including Dekmantel Selectors and Into the Woods, plus numerous performances at cult clubs including De School, Tresor, Radion, and beyond, Miss Jay is a star on the rise. Patterns of Perception 55 is a testament to her emotionally nuanced, storytelling style – a deep, sophisticated immersion into bass, breakbeat, and drum and bass music.

Amsterdam-based DJ Mattikk began collecting records in the heady years of the mid-2000s. Although he found himself initially attracted to genres as diverse as hardcore, industrial, breakcore and jungle, his tastes soon widened even further to encompass dubstep, techno, and everything in between. Over time, his deep musical knowledge and passion for the scene naturally saw him gravitate towards work in the industry, taking up a label manager/A&R role for the legendary Dutch imprint Delsin Records – a position that he still occupies today.As a seasoned DJ, Mattikk has held down with residencies at Amsterdam’s Studio 80 and Shelter clubs, as well as hosting a monthly show on Red Light Radio. His reputation for envelope-pushing, genre-bending, hypnotic and weird selections has seen him perform at some of the world’s most iconic techno clubs and festivals, including Berghain, De School, Trouw, Dekmantel and Bassiani. Next year promises to be an exciting one for Mattikk, with the inception of his own Delsin sub-label, with releases planned from Forest Drive West and natural/electronic.system., among others. Building from an initially slow tempo to form a steadily intensifying collage of eclectic selections, Mattikk’s Patterns of Perception 56 is not only cohesive, but also utterly compelling.
