Ahead of his debut AFR release (out 01.03.24) NYC native, BRÄLLE drops 90mins of dark, twisted Techno of Episode 61 of the AF Podcast.

Brooklyn-based BRÄLLE is a creative project born out of both fear and necessity. Prior to emerging on the techno scene with 2017’s ‘Dream State’, BRÄLLE had already spent nearly a decade composing albums and relentlessly touring globally in the underground Death Metal and Hardcore scenes. After leaving that world, the insatiable urge to create visceral and emotive productions did not fade, and as a result, BRÄLLE was born. 
This history has given the producer a unique perspective on the current global scene, highly removed from the cliques and trends that dominate the culture. The sound of BRÄLLE is swarming, psychedelic, and undeniably modern.

A stomping mix from Dubliner CULT on the 64th Animal Farm Podcast.

Rising from the shadows of Dublin City suburbia seemingly out of nowhere has been the young DJ & Producer, CULT. 

His alias befittingly captures the phenomenon to which he has gathered momentum and built a legion of loyal listeners who have come to expect nothing but pure and proper productions, toggling between tribal and old school techno. Entering the periphery of many through a relentless onslaught of self-released rave weapons,
CULT’s sound matured into one more in keeping with the classic, groove focused sound of techno which characterized the late 90s and early 2000s.

Within this podcast he enjoyed a more old school, powerful sound, with tracks from the likes of Lars Klein, Marco Bailey and Tom Hades.

Introducing young, aspiring talent Liam Cappello on Episode 66 of the Animal Farm Podcast.

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Glasgow, the route into music was heavy influenced by his old man - the legendary house DJ & Subculture co-founder Domenic Cappello. With a diverse selection of genres and a natural ability to read the crowd, he can effortless lay out and cut several turntables at once.

Liam’s journey into the music industry began when he would go down to the infamous Sub Club basement every Saturday, while subconsciously gaining a quick understanding of the dancefloor. Catching the attention of local clubs and event organisers, his mature style, and infectious energy, earned him quick credibility and was immediately signed to Frazi.er’s Parallel Vision imprint.

At only 20 years old, Liam Cappello is not just a musician or vinyl connoisseur, but an artist many are going to get very familiar with - transporting his audience into a sonic daydream. As he continues to evolve his sound and push the boundaries of electronic music, this talented artist is poised to become an elite name in the global music scene. 

Keep an eye on Liam Cappello as he begins his musical journey into global success!
