"The question I’m most often asked is about “my sound.” As a versatile artist, it’s exciting to find myself moving between many different genres, but I’m happy to share this piece of work that best captures who I am musically. After a few years of searching, I feel like I’m finally planting myself within a soundscape that feels authentic and exciting. Driving percussive energy, playful acapellas, and hard grooves form the keystone of my sound".

Pawlowski, a French producer and DJ, has established himself as a true outsider in the techno scene, known for his unique approach to both sound and visuals. From the very start, he has blended the raw energy of ‘90s raves with a futuristic vision, merging old-school synths and acid textures to craft a style that is unmistakably his own.

His breakthrough came in 2019 with Future Legacy, a track that immediately caught the attention of techno and neorave enthusiasts. A year later, in 2020, he solidified his reputation with Demonic Dimension, a standout piece from the Possession project, which quickly became an essential anthem in the underground club scene. His productions, infused with cyberpunk aesthetics and the dystopian essence of Akira and Evangelion, immerse his audience in a world where past and future collide.

Always pushing sonic boundaries, In 2023, Pawlowski signed a publishing deal with the prestigious KNTXT label, releasing Final Outsider, an EP that marked a new artistic chapter. In October 2024, he returned with Back with Another One, a collaboration with Fenrick, further cementing his status as a forward thinking artist.

For eight years, his scarf was his signature, an enigmatic symbol inseparable from his persona. But in 2025, he chose to reveal himself, ushering in a new era in his career. This transformation was marked by a new EP with Fenrick, featuring Donne-moi le Tempo (Remix) by DJ Fou, a tribute to French club culture and his passion for genre blending. He also released Now is the Time with Johannes Schuster, further expanding his sonic horizons. From the shadows to the spotlight, Pawlowski continues to write his own legend.

Release: The latest highlight is the release "La Temperatura" ft Byørn on 11.14.

"2025 has been a very special year for me. Debuting at Awakenings was a big milestone, and ending the year with this podcast feels like the perfect way to close it. What you’re about to hear shows a more raw, powerful and mature side of me. It’s a one-hour trip through techno, acid and trance, with touches of psytrance, a sound that has always inspired me and that I blend in my own way. The mix includes several unreleased tracks. It reflects exactly where I am right now and where I’m heading. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it".

Awakenings Podcast S373 - NEUX

"138 BPM throughout. A raw, hypnotic, and driving podcast focused on bringing great music together in a meaningful way. The idea was to let different producers and their ideas coexist, overlap, and interact, creating new rhythms and subtle nuances rather than letting tracks run on their own.

A lot of attention went into selection, timing, and precise frequency work. Every transition and filter movement was intentional. The selection leans heavily on very recent releases, with a few unreleased gems included to give space to artists and sounds you might not have heard before, including one or two by myself, woven in naturally as part of the story".

ALI3N is prospering as one of the most emotionally driven voices in Europe’s techno underground. Based in Berlin and originally from NRW, he fuses hypnotic grooves with industrial edges, tribal rhythms, and space-inspired textures, crafting sets that don’t just move bodies, but reach deep into the soul.

Music has always been more than sound for ALI3N. Shaped by a childhood of piano and saxophone lessons and diverse family influences, his journey began early, but it was the loss of a parent that turned music into a lifeline. Behind every set lies a deeper purpose: to create space for vulnerability, healing, and human connection. For him, the dancefloor is sacred, a place where emotion meets rhythm, and people remember they’re not alone.

At the decks, ALI3N is pure intensity: fully present, locked in, and guided by instinct. His style blends emotional depth with a sharp ear for both modern production and forgotten classics, connecting generations through sound. Whether playing in raw basements or iconic venues like RSO, Tresor, Elysia, and FI Cologne, his mission is always the same, bring people together through music that feels.

He’s been trusted by crews like We Are Not Alone and BCCO, and his debut releases are set to arrive in 2025, tracks built on emotion, honesty, and a relentless drive to evolve.

Off-stage, ALI3N remains grounded in community. He collaborates with artists like J.Manuel and Daryn Steytler, and makes it a point to connect personally with his audience. Long-term, he’s committed to giving back through creative, charity-based projects in Jamaica and Ethiopia, a tribute to his cultural roots and his desire to build something greater than himself.
Don’t let the shadows fool you. ALI3N isn’t hiding, he’s revealing. One track at a time.
