DE AFTER PODCAST 25: BALROG

Hailing from Leeds in the north of the UK, Balrog storms the scene with a signature blend of heavy groove-driven drums, driving basslines, and distorted vocals. Taking influence from classic hardgroove, his sound brings a modern industrial twist that hits with raw power.

Inspired by the likes of early 2000s techno icons, his focus on industrial groove techno led to releases on renowned labels such as @soma, Green Fetish Records, @crisisofman, and his own imprint @khazadrecords ,home to some of the finest industrial groove and hard techno talents.

His high-energy DJ sets have earned him gigs across the globe, with highlights including performances at @synoidberlin, @northerngrooveassociation, and shows in New York, Berlin & London.

Enjoy this hour by Balrog. 🧡
