About this episode

German DJ and producer Thomas Hessler discusses his career and the techno scene in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Actively pushing back the borders of techno language for the past fifteen years, German DJ and producer Thomas Hessler chose to relocate to Tbilisi, Georgia a few years ago and given the current state of the local scene, there is little wonder why. Tireless provider of equally hard-hitting and cerebral grooves that have taken him to play the best stages out there including Berghain, Fabric, Bassiani and Tresor, Hessler’s name has become synonymous with stunt-filled, hi-octane sets and productions that operate in the gap between kevlar-coated payload, mind-bending loops and raging sub-bass drive. Expect a fiery, laser-precise deluge of ultra-dynamic psychedelia and rattling machine funk. No surrender. soundcloud.com/thomas-hesslerberlin
