RA.850 Nene H – 2022.09.19 : Whether you’re hearing a track or a DJ set, you can usually tell it’s Nene H pretty quickly. In just a few years, Beste Aydin has developed a very specific approach within the realm of techno. She inhabits the genre yet colours just enough outside the lines without losing the plot—or the pull—entirely. The focus is on fun, on groove and on hooks, with sets that dip into trance, electro, ghetto house and even hints of hyperpop, tying in neon threads into techno’s all-black garb.

She’s used techno as a jumping off point for orchestral and choral performances, as well as the poignant expression of grief (on her stellar debut album). She’s become a regular at Berghain and groundbreaking festivals like CTM, traversing a highbrow-lowbrow line that posits that every kind of dance music deserves the highbrow treatment. Her RA Podcast is an irresistible hour of techno full of what she calls “Neneisms,” turns into pop hooks amidst hulking techno beats and dips into funky, electro-informed beats.
