• DJ Pete - RA Podcast 147 •

The Scion and Hard Wax man gets low on this week's RA podcast.



Peter Kuschnereit is a man with some serious techno credentials. Not only has he worked for Berlin's much lauded Hard Wax record shop since 1991, he's also responsible for the first ever release on Basic Channel sub-label Chain Reaction as Scion alongside René Löwe (AKA Vainqueur). National service in concurrent periods forced the duo to produce solo, culminating for Kuschnereit in the release of his Session Elements album as Substance. But the Substance project was put on the backburner when Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald decided that Scion were the right people to represent Basic Channel in the live arena, and the duo became early adopters of Ableton Live to create 2002's Scion Arrange and Process Basic Channel Tracks mix CD.

Kuschnereit was already well regarded as a DJ at that point, sharing a residency with Surgeon at the old Tresor club during the '90s, a partnership which was recently rekindled at December's Bleep43 party at London's Corsica Studios. Revellers who've already seen the man in action will know of Pete's broad musical palette, but for this week's RA podcast, the Hard Wax man has offered up a kinetic and hypnotic synergy of techno and dubstep. We spoke with Pete by e-mail to ask him about the mix, his passion for dubstep and his forthcoming solo material.
