The Industrial Groove Association…

Hailing from Leeds in the north of the UK, Balrog (Alex) is an artist whose style focuses on heavy rolling drums, driving bass lines, and distorted vocals. His tracks take influence from classic funky and groove focussed techno but with a fresh injection of modern industrial power. Focussing on this signature sound of industrial groove techno has seen him release on labels including Soma, Ear To Ground, Hydraulix, Crisis Of Man, Player, NAKT, Instruments Of Discipline, Moments In Time and Green Fetish.

The industrial groove sound also characterises Balrog’s high-energy DJ sets which have seen him headline events in cities such as New York, Berlin, London, Leeds, Manchester, Budapest, Glasgow, and more.

Balrog also runs his own record label, Khazad Records, which releases music from the very best industrial groove and hard techno talent around.

In addition to his Balrog alias, Alex also also plays and produces under, The Groovemeister General, focussing exclusively on moulding together deep, funky and grooving house and techno records.

🎑🌛 Erreicht habe ich nicht wirklich viel bissher war ich gleichzeitig mein größtes Problem da ich immer zu viel gedacht und immer weniger gemacht habe.Heute weiß ich das das an dem Ritalin Vitamin Amphetamin blablabla Mangel lag so ähnlich wie Katzen Taurin brauchen damit sie nicht blind werden oder so.Und MDMA könnte man vermuten wäre vom Baum der Erkenntnis.👌✌️

Welcome to  my Soundcloud, this is where I repost all of my favorite Dj's.
I am a HUGE fan of Trance, House and Techno music since the early 90s!!

- Seeds and Dreams sprouting in Darkness 🖤 - 

- Roul Bauer aka Vicious Steam Engine was born 1978 in Germany. His Techno Passion awoke in the 90ies, with the upcoming Rave Scene in Switzerland & Germany.

The urge to create his own Techno Journeys was born at August 2020, during the Covid-19 lockdown. He started producing his own techno tracks one year later. He learned mixing at an Dj/mixing Workshop at Mixmasters.ch. Just for learning/training Sessions, he started an Techno Podcast called "Hot Pressure Stream" at Soundcloud. The Podcast and his Social Media grew steadily and other Guest Djs played at his Podcast, like Anne Rosko, Isca Nublar, 909RIOT, Traumtherapie, Dj E-Viction, Tchie, Andy Pirie, techno X-citement, Dj Capelli, X-Dream and Nao Tamura.

Vicious Steam Engine has been a guest DJ on podcasts such as TECNO OSCURO (2 DjSets), a Darker Wave, Techno Topic by Andy Pirie and RTDFRAVERADIO from Brooklyn. In his latest 2 guest DjSets for RTDFRAVERADIO he played alongside with great Djs/Producer like Franky Bones, Lenny D. , Jim Solis, D.A.V.E the Drummer, Rewilder, Chris Liberator, Dj Papa Smrf, Jay Maniakal, Dj Hoora, Bösetecha, Destro187, Belaroc and many others awesome Djs.

28.11.2021 he released his first EP at TECNO OSCURO: Dark Dance of Gratitude
followed by 18.04. 2022 by "Kill the Silence"EP.
Since 2023 he focused really deep on music production. He was at 2 Techno retreats of Mixmasters.net in Ibiza, where he learned from legends such as Funk Dvoid, Patrik Berg, Harvey Mckay, Wehbba and Josh Wink. Now he is currently taking an online course in Electronic Music Production at Björn Thorwellen's Sinee Institute and try to master his Abelton Push 02.

Gigs:
11.11.2023 - Save the Rave (Switzerland)
09.03.2024 -  Conversion - first Contact (Switzerland)
22.03.2024 - CodeRoom (France)

--> "Obviously I love dark, hard and fast Techno, but not exclusively. I love Music in almost all its forms. ... Frequencies. If the Music is good, it is good, no snobbery. And every Music has its time!"

"Art is the greatest of all rebellions" (Chandra Mohan Jain)" 

Call me crazy but I love to see when others succeed!
Expect a deep & varied journey through a magical Techno world...

Let's go & bring Peoples together, Ravers unite!
