    Marcus Schmahl – Progressive House and Melodic | ONE Podcast (#107)
    Jun 16 2026
    © 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Former 2pole Member Marcus Schmahl On How He’s Found His True Progressive House Identity Mainz-based electronic music producer, composer, and engineer Marcus Schmahl delivers a progressive house showcase for ONE Podcast, introducing a nineteen-track audio journey that charts his complete evolutionary shift. The comprehensive mix serves as a direct sonic manifestation of his structural departure from functional club monikers toward long-form studio autonomy. Following the commercial saturation and subsequent market correction within the melodic techno scene in 2026, the electronic music landscape is experiencing an observable structural shift. For an extended period, major commercial brands maintained an ironclad grip on global events formats, yet internal club assembly lines grew increasingly rigid and generic. This stylistic saturation has driven a substantial wave of seasoned club composers back toward the deeper, more creative arrangements of progressive house. Schmahl stands at the absolute vanguard of this industrial movement. Having achieved major international chart success under names like Broombeck and as one half of the techno outfit 2pole, he has actively dismantled his functional monikers to channel thirty years of studio wisdom into a single uncompromised profile. Dismantling the Legacy Aliases The primary driver behind this sonic evolution is a requirement for complete artistic autonomy and long-form narrative execution. Operating from his facility in Mainz, Schmahl has rejected standard software patches in favour of a permanent analog hardware infrastructure. His studio architecture utilises permanent routing configurations, allowing specialised hardware like the Modor NF-1, UDO Super 6, Oberheim OB-6, Waldorf Quantum, Arturia Polybrute, and a classic Buchla synthesiser to communicate seamlessly with his digital workstation. This tactical workflow ensures that organic, unpredictable acoustic elements shape his master channel rather than standard digital emulation. “The aliases were always functional. Different genres, different collaborations; it made sense to separate them. Broombeck was one thing, 2pole with Mark was another. But at some point you realise that all of it comes from the same place, the same set of ears, the same instincts built over thirty years. I didn’t want to keep fragmenting that. Whatever I make now carries my name because it carries my signature.” His debut progressive release, Fragments of Time, materialised through an organic industry lineage. Signed to Tronic Music, the three-track EP was commissioned directly by label founder Christian Smith after reviewing early demonstration recordings. Smith himself has been actively expanding his own footprint beyond purist techno boundaries, delivering progressive records to foundational imprints like Bedrock and Balance. This technical cross-pollination between peak-time techno engineers and progressive house frameworks brings a new elevated level of mixing discipline and structural intelligence to the genre. The Logic of the ONE Podcast Mix The exclusive mix delivered for the ONE Podcast perfectly encapsulates this engineering ideology. Spanning nineteen meticulously curated selections, the performance weaves together complex sound design, precise low-end balance, and intense atmospheric textures. Schmahl seamlessly incorporates cutting-edge underground productions alongside seminal moments, including his own material from Tronic Music. The tracklist highlights a deep, patient energy curve that directly reflects the lessons learned during his time scaling the upper echelons of the global techno ecosystem. “The melodic and arpeggio work came primarily from three synthesizers: the Modor NF-1, a Buchla, and the UDO Super 6. For shakers and percussion I recorded live with a stereo microphone pair. The atmospheric layers are field recordings; one from an airport, and one I made by moving ice cubes in a gin and tonic glass, captured with two microphones. The gin and tonic was consumed after the session.” The contemporary market opportunity for this deeper sound palette is starting to expand across international club circuits. While standard commercial techno still remains highly lucrative, a major segment of the underground demographic is demanding extended club sessions that value sustained narrative tension over immediate, formulaic drops. The progressive house format scales exceptionally well across modern algorithmic systems and major editorial streaming playlists, yet its most lucrative growth sector rests in the live events market. The structural resurgence of multi-hour club sets directly rewards patient energy curves and dense atmospheric production layers. “The philosophy is simple: make the music I actually want to make, and put my full signature on it.” ONE Podcast Tracklist Notamous, Will Daley – Circled Squares [Solis Music]Michael A – Neo ...

  • Pharrö – Underground Afro House Mix | ONE Podcast (#106)

    Pharrö – Underground Afro House Mix | ONE Podcast (#106)
    Apr 22 2026
    © 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Born in Medellín, Colombia, and refined by over a decade of operating across the US East Coast, Pharrö is an artist built on the grit of the regional circuit and the foresight of a seasoned promoter. Now based out of Charlotte, NC, the DJ and producer is transitioning from a local powerhouse to a global contender, coming into 2026 with major releases on labels like Witty Tunes, mn2s, ALXMY, and Used Goods Recs. For Pharrö, the foundation of his sound was forged in the high-intensity atmosphere of his birthplace. The shift to the US required a recalibration of his musical identity, blending South American energy with the nuances of the North American underground. “Moving from Medellín to the US East Coast was a sonic pivot,” he explains. “In Medellín, electronic music is often high-energy and communal – the ‘Medellín Style’ tech-house and techno has a specific, driving intensity designed for massive crowds.” This adaptability has seen him share stages with a diverse roster of heavyweights, from the legendary Tony Touch to Afro-house pioneer Nitefreak. Whether playing direct support or headlining, Pharrö views his role through the lens of a curator rather than a commander. This perspective is rooted in his years spent throwing shows in Charlotte and Miami, an experience that informs every decision he makes in the studio. “Certain rooms call for a certain rhythm and sound, so I like to keep that in mind when making a track,” he says. “Throwing shows and playing different rooms helped me understand what type of audience I want to connect with.” His recent output reflects this tactical approach. The track ‘Teleport’ on ALXMY and the upcoming ‘Don’t Feel The Same’ on mn2s are linked by a specific sonic thread: melodic momentum designed for the peak hour. Meanwhile, his What’s The Move EP on Witty Tunes explores a more stripped-back, minimal tech-house aesthetic. The track ‘Me and My’, a collaboration with Moreno & Prieto, showcases his penchant for heavy percussion and a hypnotic atmosphere. When it comes to his live performances, Pharrö rejects the idea of the DJ as an “iron-fist” authority figure. Instead, he prioritises a fluid relationship with the audience, reading body language and energy levels to dictate the journey. “I see it as a collaborative exchange. I have to build a relationship with the crowd to create a meaningful connection; if I’m playing for myself rather than for them, that connection is lost. If you try to ‘command’ a room with ego, you risk losing the soul of the party.” As he looks toward a 2026 calendar filled with international signings, Pharrö remains grounded in the principle that got him here: persistence. His Colombian heritage remains the heartbeat of his identity, acting as a universal language that allows him to connect with demographics across borders. “Ultimately, I want the Pharrö name to stand for consistency, passion, and euphoria on all dance floors,” he concludes. “I want to cultivate an environment that people know they are free to express themselves, let go & and enjoy the journey.” Check out all ONE editions here { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "ONE Podcast", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/podcast/one-podcast/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Pharrö - ONE-106", "item": "https://www.trueunderground.one/pharro-underground-afro-house-mix-one-podcast-106/" } ] }, { "@type": "NewsArticle", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://www.trueunderground.one/pharro-underground-afro-house-mix-one-podcast-106/" }, "headline": "Pharrö - Underground Afro House Mix | ONE Podcast (#106)", "description": "Medellín-born DJ and producer Pharrö discusses his transition from regional promoter to global contender and his upcoming 2026 releases on Witty Tunes and mn2s.", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.trueunderground.one/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Copy-of-soundcloud-covers-47.jpg", "width": 1241, "height": 550 }, "datePublished": "2026-04-22T18:00:00Z", "dateModified": "2026-04-22T18:00:00Z", "author": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "True Underground Editorial Team", "url": "https://www.trueunderground.one/about-dance-music-media-platform/" }, "publisher": { "@type": "NewsMediaOrganization", "name": "True Underground", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://www.trueunderground.one/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cropped-tu-logo.png" }, "contactPoint": { "@type": "ContactPoint", "email": "news@trueunderground.one", "url": "https://www.trueunderground.one/contact/", "contactType": "editorial" } } }, { "@type": "PodcastEpisode", "name": "ONE-106: Pharrö", "episodeNumber": "106", "...

  • Angara – Melodic Techno Mix | ONE Podcast (#105)

    Angara – Melodic Techno Mix | ONE Podcast (#105)
    Feb 18 2026
    © 2025 True Underground. All rights reserved. Angara – Forgiveness, Contrast and the Architecture of Narrative House French duo Angara unpack forgiveness, contrast and cinematic house music on ONE Podcast 105, tracing the path from Rwanda to their forthcoming debut album on Embassy One. Angara exist in the space between propulsion and reflection. The French duo, Quentin and Loris, have steadily shaped a form of narrative house that privileges emotional continuity as much as club function. Their music is built for movement, but it lingers long after the dancefloor clears. “We’re not trying to fit into a box,” they explain. “What drives us is creating electronic music that tells a story. Something that works on a dancefloor, but also in moments of introspection.” Growing up in the south of France, surrounded by a strong minimal techno culture, repetition became foundational to their emotional language. A single returning note, a restrained melodic phrase, a groove that unfolds patiently. They learned early that complexity is not a requirement for depth. Sometimes emotion lives inside what repeats. The project itself emerged through distance. Having met as teenagers and later gone their separate ways, Angara only formed once experience and perspective had accumulated. Their reunion was not nostalgic. It was necessary. “We didn’t reconnect to relive the past. We reconnected because we needed to create together, now.” Contrast defines their output. Fragile melodies sit against driving rhythms. Release follows restraint. That tension mirrors both their personalities and their lived experiences. Tracks often begin with memory rather than mechanics. A production only survives if it carries emotional recognition. Technical precision alone is insufficient. Their breakthrough Rwanda EP marked a decisive evolution. More club-focused while retaining their melodic DNA, it connected globally and expanded their audience significantly. Yet success introduced pressure. Listener messages, personal stories attached to their tracks, reinforced why they create in the first place: connection over metrics. Touring across Europe added a physical dimension. In the studio, emotion is internal. On stage, it becomes visible. Drops translate into bodies moving. Tension registers across a crowd. Live performance did not alter their studio philosophy, but it clarified purpose. Forgive You: Translating Acceptance into Rhythm Their latest release, Forgive You, signals refinement rather than reinvention. More rhythm-driven and structurally direct, the track centres on self-forgiveness. Accepting past decisions made from fear, convention or obligation. Recognising them as part of becoming. “Forgive You is about forgiving yourself. Taken paths out of fear, convention, obligation. It takes time to accept. To tell yourself it was what it was, that it’s okay.” The production mirrors that discipline. A square, almost rigid pulse anchors the track, representing the daily work of reconciliation. Offbeat elements interrupt the pattern, echoing moments of doubt. The emotional centre arrives through a sampled vocal from Ingrid Lukas’ We Are Touching Heaven, adding fragility and clarity to the narrative. Forgive You follows Out At Sea, a meditation on memory and first love. Together they form connected emotional states: attachment and acceptance. Both lead toward a larger body of work, with Angara confirming a broader narrative underway ahead of their 2026 debut album on Embassy One. As the project expands, their priority remains singular: honesty. Opportunities increase. External expectations intensify. The red line is identity. If Angara could be reduced to one human experience, it would be becoming who you are through what you live. Their music is not trend-driven architecture. It is memory, discipline and contrast translated into sound.
