Editorial channel

Signal

Independent conversations, records and scene positions from inside contemporary techno.

The position

Signal is the editorial channel of Groove Protocol.

It exists to slow the release cycle down and give context to the artists, records, labels and working methods that deserve more than a passing mention.

The focus is not volume, paid placement or automatic praise. Each transmission begins with a position and follows the work far enough to understand what gives it identity, function and lasting value.

SIGNAL, VOICES

Voices

Conversations with artists and producers.

ARTISTUMEK

The Archive, the Room and the Algorithm

Cutting the Gatex master tape, recovering music from dying DATs, reading a dancefloor without surrendering the set, and asking an AI version of himself what UMEK would do.

ARTISTAnastasiya Ty

A World That Can Still Change

Identity in motion, strength without hiding vulnerability, Lisbon’s underground, the dancefloor as a shared state, and protecting curiosity as the audience grows.
