RA concludes its podcasting year with a mix from Berghain resident Marcel Dettmann.
It wasn't a tough choice for RA to pick out who to close out 2008's podcast schedule. We simply asked the man responsible for our favorite mix CD. Marcel Dettmann's Berghain 02 was a towering techno monument—a celebration of the genre's past and its possible futures. Dettmann's career began in his hometown of Fürstenwalde in the mid '90s, where he organised parties alongside his friends (and now fellow Berghain residents) Marcel Fengler and Norman Nodge. After being headhunted as a resident by the owners of the Ostgut club, he played there for the venue's final three years until its closure in 2002. When the people behind Ostgut launched the Berghain club two years later, his unique outlook on techno ensured that he was one of the first on the list to be brought back into the fold.

Since arriving in London at the beginning of the new millennium, Italoboyz (Marco Donato and Federico Marton) have become an essential fixture of the capital's small but passionate minimal scene. From their notorious back-to-back DJ sets at FESH (333, London), their reputation has grown to the point where they can now be found playing regularly across Europe and the rest of the UK. However, it's not just the energy and flair of their DJ sets that has captured the imagination, Italoboyz releases on some of today's most influential minimal-house / techno labels like Treibstoff, Einmaleins Musik and Safari Electronique also made a strong impression on the scene in 2006.
"Our trip in House Music began in far 1989 when our strong friendship and our common love for club electronic music became a passion: DJ! In this way began our story of the DOUBLE DJ SET: we work in pair like we are an only one DJ, we put on the stereo two viniles for all the length of our live set, so we are able to unite our musical preferences to make our nights full of energy! In these years the evolution of Sound, Rhythm, Melody thrill us really a lot and make us listen and play different kind of music."

Born under the Sagittarius sign in Sicily, Italy, in 1975, Misstress Barbara (4 's' as a word game between miss and stress) moved to Montreal at age 8, where she lives since. She holds a degree in Communication Studies, specialized in Cinema, and a glider and cessna plane license. arbara begun buying studio equipment shortly after the beginning of her DJ career and she spent the next twelve months familiarizing herself with the equipment and working on original tracks without really finishing them. The real work started once she finished school and dedicated herself full time to studio life.She plans on running two labels, her techno label Relentless (www.relentlessmusic.com) established in 1999 and a house one for her Barbara Brown projects, unnamed for the moment but scheduled for late 2000. They will have different names but will be coming from the same mother, her company called Energia Productions. She also plans on doing music for films, video games and more radio oriented remix projects. Those are her plans so far, but this is only the tip of the iceberg as her future is looking very bright and her DJ schedule is constantly moving forward, as well as her studio work which promises to bring us more of the cutting edge music she is known for.
Jeroen Verheij aka Secret Cinema started producing as Meng Syndicate in 1990. His first record 'Sonar System' came out on the Hithouse label in Belgium (ARS). Soon it became a big clubhit and through remixes by Speedy J aka Pullover the record became all the more successful. Because of the unfortunate death of Peter Slaghuis, the man behind the Hithouse project, the co-operation with ARS did not work out to Jeroen's satisfaction.
