“This year was a big lesson for me,” Polish producer Martyna Maja told Boiler Room Radio about the crushing effects of the pandemic. “As a techno DJ, when the clubs closed, I felt like, ‘What’s my purpose now?’” Maja, who goes by VTSS and is based in Berlin, knew her joyful, rip-roaring techno—which she’s accustomed to performing through state-of-the-art soundsystems—wouldn’t sound right through fans’ laptop speakers, so she made some adjustments. “I changed the way I mix, the way I produce, even the styles of techno I [play], because I knew that people would be listening at home,” she said. In her daring and expansive <i>an hour with</i> mix—an exclusive partnership between Boiler Room and Apple Music—she infuses industrial techno with acid textures and playful throwback house (Masters At Work and Puppah Nas-T’s “Work”, the global smash that made Denise Belfon a club fixture in 2001, gets an urgent, tunnelling edit). There's something defiant about the warp-speed way Maja whips these tones together. “When I first started playing techno, I really sought approval from the techno bros,” she said. “But at some point I realised nothing would be good enough. Techno is a beautiful genre, but it’s not a ‘scene’. It looks so different in every country. For me, it’s always been important to do whatever I want, on my rules. I think that invites other women to join in—to do whatever they want.”
