Next up on The Vulged Series are founders @flitstechno & @lassetechno. This duo, performing together on a regular base in the Amsterdam scene, teamed up once more for The Vulged Series. A subtle and steadily building approach, yet driving and energetic, would be the best description of the sound of this duo. The full set is available on our YouTube with footage: https://youtu.be/ED9sJNpDy20?si=3qxfhHGCcBEYRP5m

The Vulged Series #002 - Flits b2b Lasse

Nineteen92 Records awakens from slumber with its enigmatic offering: NTN015, a triad of shadows and light woven by unseen forces.

Hypnos (UK), the architect of ethereal dreams, unveils his original spell; a track that oscillates between darkness and transcendence, a gateway to dimensions where time dissolves. Its hypnotic essence pulls us under, like an ancient whisper echoing deep within the subconscious.

But the journey does not end there.

3imol, a Mexican master of fractal textures, reinterprets the work with a remix that distorts reality, cloaking sound in layers of mystery and electric tension. His vision is a labyrinth of echoes and sacred frequencies, a sonic ritual that defies the limits of perception.

And from the depths of Mexico, Jezreel answers with a remix of pure nocturnal fire. A tribal pulse, a ceremony of resonant basslines and fractured melodies that summon spirits from the underworld. His version is a reminder: the night is eternal, and its call, inescapable.

NTN015 is not just music. It is an incantation, a signal in the dark. Are you ready to answer? The awakening begins on August 14, 2025, only through Nineteen92 Records. Prepare your spirit. Follow the rhythm. Step into the abyss.

Recorded in his home studio, this One Out Podcast reflects the core of his current sound: hypnotic, raw, and relentlessly groovy.

BCCO Mix Series 612: Versus

Two hours of pure fire - our set on May 18th at Tohhnzimmer was an intense ride through the depths of hypnotic techno. With 145 BPM, hard edges and driving percussions, we captured the vibe of the night and created a soundscape on four decks that got under your skin.

The room was charged - full of energy, full of movement. The crowd felt every drop, carried every kick. It was raw, direct, atmospheric - and at the same time a dream of sound and connection.

A special evening, a special vibe - harder, deeper, more uncompromising.

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.
