NUDE199: The Richer B2B Octoplus

Two worlds collide in this latest NUDE Techno Podcast episode, resulting in a captivating back-to-back techno session from The Richer and Octoplus.

The Richer is more than just a rising name — he’s an expanding sound universe. Born in 2005, this passionate artist pours raw emotion and spontaneity into every set. Deeply rooted in his Sanatan culture, The Richer weaves transcendental elements and the divine opulence of Lord Krishna into his music, creating a spiritual, interstellar atmosphere that feels both meditative and intense. His fascination with sound engineering and life’s emotional depth has led him to pursue a refined, ever-evolving sonic aesthetic — one that feels both cosmic and personal.

Octoplus (pronounced Octo+), hails from Indianapolis and brings a whole different energy — forged in the heat of Midwest raves. Having discovered techno in the mid-90s, his roots trace back to the revolutionary sounds of Chicago and Detroit. After dominating local lineups, Octoplus took an unexpected 25+ year break from the decks. Now back and more inspired than ever, he’s channeling decades of passion into sets that merge nostalgic grit with modern European flavor. From hypnotic minimalism to driving hardgroove, his style always keeps things proper. With original releases planned for later this year, he’s ready to reignite his sound for a whole new generation.

This B2B is a meeting of minds — one reaching from the ancient and spiritual, the other rising from deep club culture roots — blending into something powerful, progressive, and pure techno.

Today, they joins the NUDE Techno podcast, with an hour of Techno. Listen to it below on SoundCloud & Mixcloud. If you are feeling this series, then please consider supporting it on Mixcloud Select.
