The Impulse Techno Podcast

The Impulse Techno Podcast is a direct line into the evolving pulse of electronic music, curated by DJ Roo. His journey began upon arriving in Shanghai, where he was immediately pulled into the city's vibrant underground scene. That experience-working alongside many of the city's best artists at its top venues-forms the foundation of this show. Roo is known for a versatile approach, an ability to turn his hand to almost any style, which is reflected in the podcast's dynamic range. You'll hear selections from the regular bass music, house, and techno nights he promotes, events that have found homes at spots like Dada, Logo, Lune, and the now-legendary Shelter, alongside the energy from his regular sets at venues such as Lola, M18, and Arkham. Each episode is a curated session, blending driving rhythms with atmospheric depth, offering a snapshot of a specific moment or feeling from the dancefloor. It’s a mix that feels both personal and expansive, a sonic diary from an insider who helps shape the scene he records. For anyone curious about the sounds defining Shanghai's underground or simply seeking a expertly mixed journey of techno and its adjacent genres, this podcast serves as a reliable and inspired source.
