Boris, the long-standing Berghain resident, is deeply committed to the captivating magic that unfolds on the dance floor. With over two decades of experience as a producer for the likes of Ostgut Ton and as a DJ, he remains an unwavering, yet never predictable, mainstay.

Boris' set is a true journey - like a vortex pulling you in. Mystical and deep, it’s rich in textures, seamlessly interwoven with groove and vocal snippets. His signature style as a true music connoisseur is unmistakable. Again and again, moments arise where listeners emerge from the depths, catching glimpses of distant, Detroit-esque chords shimmering on the horizon.

As the set progresses, Boris skillfully introduces more rave-driven elements, layering them with finesse. Each transition builds anticipation, leading to a grand finale - an electrifying crescendo that leaves an unforgettable mark. What an incredible set!

Dualism Series #017 - Boris

"This set was heavily inspired by the set I played at Orphic on the 9th of February, not only because of the trackselection, but also in terms of the vibe I wanted to convey. Starting off quite minimalist and groovy, but steadily building towards heavier and more intense territory."

Giuseppe Scaccia also known as D-Leria, a sonic virtuoso in the studio and a chaos creator on the dancefloor, embarked on his DJ journey in 2001. Swiftly transitioning to studio production, he garnered international recognition in Hardcore and became a fixture at major festivals, particularly in the Netherlands.
In 2014, he gave life to D-Leria, releasing a series of EPs that served as a canvas for his evolving musical style. This transformative period also saw him take on dual roles as an artist and manager at Delirio record label, where he curated a space for avant-garde talents with a focus on authentic live recording.
Relocating to Berlin, Giuseppe immersed himself in new inspirations and devoted five years to meticulously crafting his debut album, 'Driving to Nowhere.' The result was a sonic masterpiece that quickly captivated the attention of electronic music luminaries.
D-Leria’s artistic trajectory continued to ascend as he found a home in prestigious labels such as Avian, Semantica, Non Series, Sublunar, Monument. He contributed to noteworthy compilations, showcasing his style finesse and leaving his mark with remixes, various EPs and collaborative projects.
Over the past few years, D-Leria has taken the global stage by storm, venturing on active touring with debuts in historical and iconic clubs and festivals, reaching new continents, communities and audiences.
This journey reached a zenith with the unveiling of his groundbreaking and revolutionary modular live set at a festival in HALL Tallinn in 2022.
The reverberations of this innovative performance carried into his 2023 live tour, leaving an enduring impact on distinguished venues and festivals worldwide including Tresor Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, Radion Amsterdam, Freedom Festival Medellin, Gare Porto, Closer Milan, Ratherlost Amsterdam, UTDF Białystok and more.
Last month he returned on Non Series including remixes by Polygonia, Anthony Linell and Shoal, while this month he will debut on Amtk+ on a split EP.

Awakenings Podcast S354 - D-Leria

The Path of Happiness

ApHective

This (self)release is inspired by George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984”. Written about 75 years ago, it somehow anticipated many of the absurd realities we are facing in the present.

The book focuses on the impact of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and the strict control of individuals and their behaviour within society. It also explores the use of indoctrination, specifically through a concept called “doublethink”, where individuals are required to accept two contradictory beliefs as true, even when these beliefs contradict their own memories or perception of reality.

“WAR IS PEACE”
“FREEDOM IS SLAVERY”
“IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”

In 1984, these slogans belong to “The Party”, a political organisation that preserves its power through constant surveillance, manipulation of reality, control of information, and the suppression of independent thought.

I encourage to read the novel, think about what’s depicted in its pages and how it compares to the modern times.
