Raised far from the gravitational pull of dance music hubs, Dallas-born Decoder developed his
craft outside traditional DJ circuits, shaping a singular voice defined by independence that
remains central to his sound today.

First opening Fruity Loops at the age of ten, Decoder's relationship with electronic music began
free from expectation or institutional pressure. His early productions were guided as much by
video game soundtracks, synth-pop and rhythm as by techno itself, resulting in music that is
light and inquisitive.

That playfulness has endured. Over time, his productions have evolved, with a distinctive
sci-fi-feeling that's grounded in the techno's founding principles. Drum-led, full-bodied and
often carrying a quiet melancholia, his discography draws a clear lineage from Detroit techno's
futurist restraint and experimental traditions, all the while still resisting easy categorisation.
Influences range from the microtonal explorations of Aleksi Perälä to the hypnotic patience
associated with Perlon-era minimalism and Ricardo Villalobos, all filtered through an instinctive
sense of play. Early support from Richie Hawtin and JeffMills affirmed his commitment to this
direction, recognition many artists work years to achieve.

In the DJ booth, Decoder treats performance as a direct extension of the studio. Sets are often
built largely from unreleased material, functioning closer to live testing grounds than traditional
DJ performances—ideas are trialled, stripped back and reshaped in real time with close
attention to the room. After formative experiences at warehouse parties and renegade events
across Texas, he began touring internationally while still in his teens, logging sets at the likes of
De School, FOLD and Watergate. 2025 marked a significant turning point, with an acclaimed
set at Waking Life and his debut at Berghain.

Alongside releasing on established labels, Decoder runs two imprints: Codec, a
community-focused platform for collaborative projects, and TOCA, a more purist, physical-only
label emphasising longevity and restraint. His forthcoming album Prakasa, released on Planet
X, represents several years of studio development and reflects his continued interest in
cohesion across time, genre and form.

Now operating internationally, Decoder represents a measured reinvention of techno, one that
looks forward without severing ties to the past. Retaining the independence forged in Dallas
warehouses and DIY parties, he remains an artist shaped not by trends, but by curiosity,
patience and a disciplined belief in the power of simplicity.

This SLAM mix features some of those remixes, a few are already out - but many that are due for release over the next coming months.

From all the Slam Radio team - we'd like to thank all of our listeners for your tremendous support over the years.

Ireen Amnes is a multifaceted artist, producer, and DJ recognized for her contributions to the techno and experimental music scenes. She began her musical journey as a singer and instrumentalist in metal bands before transitioning into electronic music

In 2015, Ireen founded Under My Feet., a London-based collective and label that has become a hub for provocative exhibitions and showcases blending power electronics with experimental sounds. A decade later, she launched REVERSE at Säule Berghain, a party series dedicated to amplifying women, trans, and non-binary artists and creating uncompromised space for expression within the underground techno scene.

Ireen bridges the worlds of experimental, electronic, and techno music as a versatile artist and resident DJ at the iconic Tresor Berlin.

Alongside her musical career, Ireen is actively involved in education. With support from organizations such as Polyphase and Subverted, and funding from the Berlin Music Board, she has conducted Ableton workshops specifically designed for women and non-binary individuals, empowering underrepresented communities in electronic music. Her educational initiatives have also extended to institutions like Berklee College of Music and Ramp Music Academy.

DJ, producer and composer Chloe Lula is known for her deep, atmospheric and hypnotic sound. Originally trained as a classical cellist, Chloe left the conservatory at 18 when she discovered electronic music, moving to Berlin shortly thereafter to immerse herself in the city’s blossoming techno scene. The confluence of these worlds has forged her textural approach to techno and inspired her to return to her instrument. Today, she uses the cello to write full-length ambient, electroacoustic live shows as well as deconstructed tones and timbres that help form the unique character of her releases for the dance floor.

Chloe is a resident at Tresor and has played widely across Asia, India, Europe, and North and South America. She has released on Tresor, Mord, Blueprint, Non Series and her own label, Syntax Records. As a composer, she has scored for theater and TV, and her debut instrumental full-length ‘Oneiris’ came out on James Ginzburg’s Subtext label in November 2024, which she currently tours as a live AV show. Beyond the studio, Chloe curates, hosts and produces interviews for Resident Advisor, and programs the publication’s talk programming and workshops at festivals like Atonal, Nuits Sonores, Dekmantel, Unsound, Rewire and many more.
