b"When Smoke Machine started doing parties in Taipei, and then created a revered online mix series, it was clear that it was the work of someone with impeccable taste. That would be Diskonnected, once a resident at the beloved Taiwan club Korner who now posts up at Pawnshop and \\u5b80 in Hong Kong. He's also behind Organik, a festival that takes place on the coast of Taiwan and has become one of the world's top techno gatherings in just over a decade.\\n\\nTrue to his alias, the elusive artist likes to switch off from the world. He rarely makes his presence known online, sparingly accepting press and mix requests. He's not one to seek attention\\u2014in fact, he actively avoids it\\u2014but there's a spotlight on him regardless.\\n\\nEverything Diskonnected does is executed with patience and class, but don't mistake that for restraint. His style of weightless techno shimmers with the spirit of nature, moving with aerodynamic force. On his RA Podcast, we hear a six-hour all-night set recorded at \\u5b80 earlier this year, keeping an open-ended view of techno as it barrels on, gradually getting faster all the while. It's clich\\xe9d to say that if you know you know, but truly, anyone who knows about Diskonnected knows that he's one of the world's greatest techno DJs, with a style and flair that feels both old-school\\u2014or maybe just late '00s\\u2014but also cutting-edge.\\n\\n@diskonnected\\n\\nRead more at https://ra.co/podcast/904"
