SIGNal DJs Technocrat & Delula Summer Session

Episode 13/26

Technocrat & Delula

The contemporary underground electronic music landscape thrives on the erosion of rigid genre boundaries, a philosophy masterfully executed by SIGNaL brand pioneers Technocrat and Delula in their latest exclusive podcast mix. Bringing over two decades of curation experience to the decks, Technocrat expertly navigates the minimalist architecture of percussive 140 BPM frequencies, juxtaposing the weight of classic dubstep with the syncopated, high-energy stomp of contemporary South American dance music. Delula elevates this sonic tapestry by occupying the fertile, liminal spaces between UK Bass, 2-Step Garage, and clinical Techno. Drawing inspiration from the high-octane fun of Blame The Mono and the deep, queer-ballroom-infused grooves of Introspekt, this dynamic duo offers listeners a masterclass in modern electronic music innovation.

Rejecting the predictable safety of pre-planned playlists, this heavy-hitting studio session prioritizes raw, intuitive live DJ improvisation. Technocrat and Delula constructed this mix completely on the fly, capturing the volatile, symbiotic energy that defines their celebrated back-to-back (B2B DJ sets). In the accompanying interview below, the artists dissect the core philosophies of their craft, arguing for the primacy of emotive track selection and crowd connection over sterile technical perfection. From their foundational festival inspirations at Glastonbury to their localized nightlife curation at Anella in Penzance, discover how these visionary selectors are reshaping the Cornwall electronic music scene. Stream the exclusive SIGNaL guest mix now and delve into the minds behind the frequencies.

Artist Interview

...we just feed off of each other’s energy really well.

Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.

Technocrat: I've been djing for over 20 years and set up the SIGNaL brand, I think around early 2019. I love weaving through loads of different genres in my mixes. Recently i've been loving the percussion driven 140 vibe and i've started playing about with Brazilian/ South American influenced dance music. It has such a stomp to it and i love how it brings a fresh take to a mix especially when you mix it in and out of some old school dubstep!

Delula: As Delula, I want to develop more of an artist-persona for myself. I’m finding having more of a degree of separation between me as a person and who I am on-stage/online to be helpful.

I love blending styles together, pretty much any vibe in the 130-140 bpm range, as long as it grooves and makes me want to dance. There’s so much crossover and room to explore in the areas in between UK Bass, Garage/2-Step, Breaks, Techno and more, so it’s it’s a lot of fun to jump around those styles. It makes for riskier sets to play live, but all the more rewarding when it works.

What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
Technocrat: That's a tough question. Not sure I can pin point one specific moment. Recently we've been pushing collaborations with different brands and thats always sick! Each crew brings their unique vibe so you end up with a really interesting mix of music and selections. On top of that, going b2b with Delula and recently Andy Matter is always such a great vibe. Just rolling with what ever we end up playing and see where it goes is always such a highlight for me!

As to the future, we have something brewing with a great brand down here in Cornwall. Cant say too much at this point but watch this space.

Delula: Any time Technocrat and I get on the decks together is always a blast, those sets have been some of my favourites recently, we just feed off of each other’s energy really well.

As for the future, our next night is at Anella in Penzance on the 25th of July, but I don’t think there’s anything else that I can announce just yet, watch this space.

Tell us something that you know now that you wished you knew when you first started DJing.

Technocrat: I guess the best thing I could say is try not to pigeon hole yourself with genres. Expand and play a bit of everything. There is a world of music out there and it's such a buzz to play a bit of everything.

Delula: The crowd almost always responds more to track selection over DJ technique (at least in my experience). Any transition that gets you from one track to the next without loosing too much momentum is a good one.

I used to plan my sets a lot more, but I hate over planning it these days.

What artists have inspired your DJ style?

Technocrat: years and years ago I was at Glastonbury Festival and I stumbled on this awesome dj in a venue i think was called The Glade Bar. i can't for the life of me remember what their name was but the set was incredible! They mixed such an array of music from garage to dnb to cheesy nonsense so seamlessly. It was the epitome of what I would call a festival set. Catering for every person in that tent. That had always inspired me!

Delula: So, so many. I’ve been loving the stuff Blame The Mono have been putting out recently, it’s just high-energy, maximum fun music. Introspekt has been a big influence over the last couple of years, really well made, deep 2-step and Bass with a sprinkle of queer-ballroom influence makes for some very groovy cuts. Also been really digging releases from the Shadow Works label, they’ve put out some wicked stripped back old-school-vibes 2-step tracks.

Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
Technocrat: So we try to avoid planning out exactly what tracks we're going to play in our mixes. We plan out a rough idea of where we want it to go, but we love to just flow with it and bounce of the surprise on what the other is playing next. With my track selection, I really wanted to strip it right back. Really deep percussive vibes weaving through the minimal 140 with some south American tracks peppered in to liven it up.

Delula: Honestly, I just played whatever I wanted to hear in the moment. I used to plan my sets a lot more, but I hate over planning it these days. I realised that my favourite sets were the seat of the pants ones, where I had to rely on reading the room instead of sticking to a playlist.
