Call Super + Hodge

Berlin-based London native Joe Seaton, better known as his DJ-producer alias Call Super, first popped up on our radar with his brilliant 2013 debut for Houndstooth, The Present Tense. Serving as the label's inaugural release, the EP—which features the hypnotic track "Threshing Floor"—paved the way for countless releases by similar artists House Of Black Lanterns, Akkord, Snow Ghosts, Special Request and Throwing Snow. With five EPs and a debut full-length album on Houndstooth, as well as his most recent Nervous Sex Traffic EP on Dekmantel, Seaton has quickly gained recognition as one of techno's top producers and DJs. Painting complex sonic landscapes of melancholy melodies and percussive stems over familiar elements of house and techno, he's developed a unique sound that differentiates him from his more conservative techno piers. Joining him is the equally prominent Bristol-based Jacob "Hodge" Martin. The young producer and DJ has blurred the lines separating techno and bass music, earning him a reputable name with releases on Hemlock Recordings, Livity Sound and Berceuse Heroique as well as a radio show on Rinse FM. His collab with Randomer—Second Freeze / Simple As, out on Livity Sound September 2—is easily one of our favorite releases of 2016. Support comes from local favorite and Sublimate founder Sagotsky.
