by @giulianorodrigues

Giuliano Rodrigues is a Brazilian DJ, producer, and label owner recognized as one of the most consistent and influential names in the global Dub Techno scene. With a career built on precision, emotion, and atmosphere, Giuliano has become a reference point for the hypnotic, immersive sound that defines the deeper side of techno.

Since 2012, he has been shaping the genre through his label Flowing Movement Music, which became one of the earliest Brazilian imprints to gain international attention within the Dub Techno and Deep Tech community. The label has released over 300 titles, serving as a platform not only for Giuliano’s music but also for dozens of underground producers worldwide.

In 2024, Giuliano consolidated his creative vision with the launch of DUBLUCID and DUBLUCIDWAVE, both distributed by Proton SoundSystem, one of the most respected distributors in electronic music. The two labels have quickly grown, amassing more than 460 releases combined, with monthly schedules reaching into 2026. Through Proton’s ecosystem, Giuliano’s catalog has reached listeners in more than 25 countries, achieving over 76,000 streams and 1,493 sales on Beatport alone in the last 12 months. His audience is strongest in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, confirming his international reach.

Giuliano’s sound spans Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic), Minimal / Deep Tech, and Ambient Experimental, styles that earned him features on Superordinate Dub Waves, Lucidflow, and Piranha Siberia Dub — alongside artists like Nae:Tek, Klartraum, and R.Hz. His collaborations with Nae:Tek have produced several charting tracks on Beatport and Traxsource, while his remix of Klartraum’s “Manifestation” surpassed 60,000 plays on Spotify. Two of his tracks were also played at Burning Man, marking a milestone in his artistic journey.

On Apple Music, Giuliano surpassed 103,000 total plays, 85,000 Shazams, and 3,100 radio spins, with audiences concentrated in Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, and London. On SoundCloud, his profile exceeds 1 million total plays, 26,000 likes, and 10,000 reposts, with top-performing cities including Kyiv, Berlin, Moscow, and São Paulo. This cross-platform consistency underscores his organic global following and deep listener engagement.

Beyond his personal releases, Giuliano curates mixes and compilations such as DUBLUCID Sessions, Dub Techno WVE, and Every Dub Movement, blending hypnotic textures and spatial depth that define his artistic identity. His work combines technical mastery with emotional resonance — a sound both meditative and powerful, crafted for true underground spaces.

Today, all of Giuliano Rodrigues’ projects converge under the DUBLUCID ecosystem — a platform that connects Flowing Movement Music, DUBLUCID, and DUBLUCIDWAVE, forming one of the most active and respected Dub Techno networks within the Proton family.

For anyone looking to explore the essence of Giuliano Rodrigues’ universe —
it’s all under DUBLUCID RECORDS.

What and who is A Darker Wave?
We are a duo (jacki-e & p-mac) who present A Darker Wave every week only on NLive Radio, Circl8 Radio, Echo Radio & Chill Lover Radio. We put the show together in our home studio. The show is streamed worldwide on the internet. Each show is posted on our Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Hearthis.at, Podbean and You Tube pages once it has been streamed and presents the best in new techno releases.
We also play gigs as A Darker Wave and we have played at events in Germany and all over the UK.
The music we play is techno, tech house, deep house and anything else we like enough to include in the show.
Each show is 2 hours long. In the first hour we go into the mix with our featured EP of the week and the best of the new releases.
In the second hour we invite new and upcoming DJs to come onto the show and do a guest mix.

Why are you called A Darker Wave?
Dark Wave was first used in the 1980s to describe a dark and melancholy variant of new wave and post-punk music and was first applied to UK musicians such as Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode and Anne Clark. It was also used to describe artists who combined music with performance art, such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, who challenged and explored the darker and obsessive sides of the human condition.

A lot of techno takes its spirit and ethos from this music, Listen to Throbbing Gristle or Cabaret Voltaire and you can hear the industrial sounds which are a staple of techno music today.

Techno is the outsider of electronic dance music, the punk of today's modern music scene. As Dave Clarke said in an interview with Mixmag, " Techno is edgy. Techno will challenge you......it's the real dark art."

Our radio show, in presenting the best in underground techno and deep house music, and in giving an opportunity for new, up and coming DJ's and producers, is providing an outlet for new techno, which is best described as being the new wave of modern dance music.

Not just a new wave, but with it's incessant bass rumblings, synthesiser drones, pounding drums, melodic top notes and eerie, distorted vocal samples, techno, in all its forms, is a backdrop to and a critique of our post-industrial, consumerist society, one in which our actions are observed 24/7, our democratic freedoms are threatened by our very own governments and our rights to do, think and act as we please are under ever increasing scrutiny. Techno really is A Darker Wave.

When we were listening to music in the 60’s and 70’s, before the electronic tentacles of technology infiltrated the world, we often thought, whilst listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Captain Beefhart, New York Dolls and Roxy Music, where would music go to in the future? It could never be what was being portrayed in the science fiction movies of the time. Now we know. It can be anything. When we have a recording studio in our own home which is more powerful and versatile than anything available back then, we now know music can be anything and go anywhere. It is only the spark of our imaginations, or lack of it, that holds us back. On our laptop computers we have the capabilities that many artists back then would have given their right arms for. It’s for the uniqueness of the artist to express themselves to be able to stand out from the deluge of music available. Finding those gems is the modern day equivalent of crate digging and when you do, it makes it all worthwhile. Long live music!!!!

Meet EquilibriuM (Ilas Lucian), a passionate music producer from Timișoara, Romania, who is 35 years young. His love for music has been a lifelong journey, but he officially embarked on his production path six years ago in 2019. Through his art, he aims to spread positivity and good vibes, reaching out to as many beautiful souls as possible, hoping you resonate with that sentiment as you read this.

EquilibriuM specializes in liquid drum and bass, characterized by enchanting piano melodies and deep, immersive basslines. His musical journey is also a cosmic exploration, where each release symbolizes a stop in our solar system and beyond, capturing the essence of a planet, moon or even a comet along the way.

You can find his music on platforms like Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube, and Apple Music.
'' Remember, never give up on your dreams and passions.

Love and hugs! ''

Father of 2 that has been playing on and off since 98 and now on, for the sanity of my mind and soul. I am so grateful to all the producers out here for the passion and creativity in their work, so we all can enjoy it together.
