Italian techno duo Nicola Borsato and Luca Flawer aka Flawer & Nick Borsato have been quickly making a name for themselves in the global techno scene thanks to releases on Impact Mechanics, Frequenza, Evolution Recordings and Reloading records. Their sound is dark, futuristic and bass heavy and has earned plays by some of the industry’s leading djs such as Chris Leibing and Ritchie Hawtin.

In late 2010, the duo signed with SubSensory for our upcoming 36^th release, Jarhead, remixed by label boss JAK and another Venetian duo, Kroman Celik. It’s now available at Beatport.com The release is already supported by Woody McBride, Audio Injection, Bas Mooy, Dr, Hoffman, Jeff Keenan, Lance Blaise and many more.

Flawer & Nick Borsato – Jarhead (w/ Kroman Celik, JAK remixes) by Subsensory Recordings

We caught up with Nicola and Luca to learn a little more about their background, production and interests.

Where are you from, how did you meet, and when did you start working together?

We live in the same town near Venice, so we met as children. We started to make music together in summer 2008, after some years of working separately.

How did you become interested in techno music?

In the first years of 2000, club culture in the North of Italy was characterized by techno and electronic influences, and we frequented clubs oriented to this kind of music. So we became interested in djing and techno music in general.

Who are some of your influences? Are there any new artists who are inspiring you today?

In the beginning we started to follow artists like Mauro Picotto, Richie Hawtin, Marco Bailey, Sven Vath, and during the years after we take inspiration from artists like Chris Liebing, Jeff Mills, Speedy J, Adam Beyer. Nowadays some of these artists are still our references as well as talents like Luke Slater, Alex Bau, Marcel Dettmann, Audio Injection, Tommy Four Seven, Lucy, Monoloc.

Tell us a little about your production process and the technology you are using to create music.

First of all “quiet” because we like to produce with no time pressure, taking also some days of break to listen to projects we are working on. Our goal is to focus on quality rather than quantity.

In our studio we like to find the right balance between analog instruments and effects, and digital audio processing.

Is there a certain vibe that you try to create in your music?

In our music we try to create experimental atmospheres combining them with the pure energy of techno. We like combining dark, acid, deep and futuristic sounds with old school sonorities.

Tell us about your livesets?

During our livesets we use three laptops with Traktor and Ableton, using real time plug-ins, midi interfaces and some external machines, taking inspiration from our studio production process.

We started playing this way quite recently and we’re implementing our setup week by week.

At the moment we have only a few gigs coming up because we’re new in the techno scene and the majority of clubs here book mostly house and commercial music.

Do you have a day job? Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?

We spend time in the studio only in the evening, because Flawer works as an Apple and Microsoft specialist in a technical support office and Nick Borsato is finishing his studies in Architecture for Sustainability in Venice.

Our common interests outside music are playing Xbox, watching Wrestling and playing old realtime strategy games

What other projects are you working on? What’s next for Flawer & Nick Borsato?

Currently we’re working on some remixes, one of these is for SubSensory’s upcoming release by the artist M.I.T.A, which also features remixes by Audio Injection and Spark Taberner. After we finish these remixes we’ll begin our next EP.

SSR036, Jarhead, is now available on Satellite, TrackItDown, Juno, Beatport and other digital stores. Find more on the duo at

Bad Fotography Blog (Music Review Blog)

Spark Taberner is a name you will hear alot this year. This guy’s big and getting bigger. I just got word about his These Days EP, coming out February 23rd and let me tell you – it’s pure techno massiveness. Nothing but warehouse ready sounds, cold, precise dance beats and pumping bass heavy. I’m gonna put this one on in the office to increase my productivity levels knowing that I cant exactly spontaneously break out in a techno dance workout at my table.

“Geo is Curious” blog

Here we have another EP in which it is astonishingly hard to choose a favorite track. And although I usually like my techno to sound more evil, These Days EP on SubSensory Recordings, as a whole is irresistible. The first track, These Days takes a pretty cheeky rhythm and transforms it into what could easily become a techno anthem. A few listens in and it’s imprint secures a strong hold on my memory. It’s one of those tracks that once dropped can transform a whole dance floor. Captured offers a more unnerving feeling until the thicker baseline swoops in. Slave is crafted in a similar spirit but intensified: loud, visceral, blaring through its controlled confines. Almost sounds like it’s spilling at the seams. Taberner has weaved a magnificent techno tapestry with Slave. I know I said I couldn’t choose one…. but I think I just did. Definitely looking forward to more from Taberner!” (http://geoiscurious.blogspot.com/2011/02/spark-taberner-these-days-ep-off.html)

About Spark Taberner:

A fairly new name on the global techno scene, Spark Taberner (Holland) is certainly on fire at the moment. As a producer, he’s crafted a string of highly-supported originals and remixes on labels like Mastertraxx, Gynoid, Dirty Planet, Slap Jaxx and Focus Records. His remix of Mike Humphries’ ‘Tactical Recon’ was chosen by internationally acclaimed DJ Dave Clarke for his Best of 2010 White Noise Radio program. Outside of the studio, Spark has kept an impressively busy gig schedule, playing hundreds of gigs in a few years time including bookings at high profile events like Awakenings and Dance Valley. With so much momentum, support and talent, we think you’ll be seeing a lot more from Spark in the very near future.

pretty rockin ep here. hard to pick a fave really because they are all damn good. im a sucker for the 303 in the audioelectronic mix. the original is dope and the remixes all offer a unique take. original has the dark shuffle, audioelectronic has a deeper edge, masseys has cool dubby stabs and nesbit gets gritty. cant go wrong… thanks.

More info: Costa Rica-born, Portland OR-based DJ and producer Mario Maroto is quickly making an imprint on the local and international electronic scenes. Wielding his brand of crisp, funky tech-house and techno, Mario has released with labels such as Half Seas Over (Supernature’s Sub label), Killing Machine, Land Of Voodoo, 82 Rec and SubSensory. His work has been supported by the likes of Alex Niggeman, Markus Fix, Audiofly, Kabuto&Koji, Ida Engberg, Dubfire and Steve Lawler. He’s played major clubs throughout Costa Rica, Panama, Barcelona and Miami, as well as a variety of other US cities.

Mario’s latest dancefloor bomb “Ghaniyah” gets straight to the point with a funked up bass groove and seriously infectious tech-house rhythms. You can’t help but feel a sense of joy in this track, possibly a reflection of Mr. Maroto’s own energized and positive persona. Ghaniyah means beautiful girl in Arabic, a nod to the eastern sounding samples throughout the track.

UK dj/producer Kube 72 comes through with a massive tribal remix. Big bass drums, organic percussion and a stomping beat make this a guaranteed floor-filler. Another great tune from Kube 72, whose recent remix of Ryan Luciano’s – Le Freak (Kube 72 & Danny Oliver RMX) landed on Carl Cox’s 2010 Space Compilation.

Portland, Or-based Dumstruck’s remix adds the minimal funk to the equation. A rolling array of drums and a thumping beat carry this remix along. It’s great for layering and for kick starting the party in general. Great work from the up-and-coming Portland-based artist

The EP kicks off with Circles, a track that combines a classic 909/808 jakin’ techno vibe with a more modern minimal mentality. The big, dramatic transitions and slammin’ beat and bass make Circles a great weapon for a big room setting.

Next up is the title track Shardana, a dark, driving affair built with big drums, deep atmosphere and dirty rhythms. Drop this bomb at 3 am and watch the mayhem that ensues.

The EP closes out with the appropriately titled Insanity. Extreme noise sounds, big distorted drums and a naughty acidic bass keep this beastly tune moving until the end.

We’re really excited to help Kereni unleash his sounds on the public. With three big cuts on his debut release, we can only expect more good stuff from Kereni in the future.

Here’s a sampling of what people are saying about the release:

Audio Injection – Droid

Circles and Insanity sound nice, will try these out thanks!

Let’s Go Outside – Slant/Soma

Shardana is pretty wicked.  Other two aren’t quite for me.

Dj Tronic – DancefloorMayhem.com

Circles is a big peak hour techno banger – love it! Shardana also has a lot of energy.  Insanity has an old school warehouse techno vibe to it.  Love all three tracks!

Jerry Abstract – From 0-1/Shitkatapult

Slammin!

Aaron Nesbit – From 0-1/Superbra

Supporting Kereni – Insanity (Original Mix)

Kube72 – Stripped Digtal/Teggno

Another top release from a great label…will chart this for sure..all are great but the one for me is insanity with its dark techno, reminds me alot of robert hoods stuff, wicked!

Good tunes!

Abstract Terrorist

Excellent single, very solid. Liking Insanity the best, but all are good

LilRoj – SubSensory

Real techno vibes here, solid work all around. I’m liking the eerie sounds and distortions in Insanity a lot.

Mario Maroto – Killing Machine/Half Seas Over

All very good productions.A little darker than what I usually play but all the tracks are very well made. Full of details, raises and falls. Very very interesting EP. Will be playing Circles.

DJ Subroutine

Nice live sound. Great dark atmosphere.
