Blank Code Podcast 196 – Altstadt Echo
On August 18, 2015
Praised by SPIN Magazine as bringing the “avant-garde element to Detroit techno,” 26-year old Altstadt Echo has made an immediate impact on the American techno scene in his early years. After performing at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in 2014, Altstadt launched his own experimental techno label Modern Cathedrals, announced by Resident Advisor with a front-page feature article. In addition to having his original works remixed by legendary techno artists such as Terrence Dixon, Donor, and Jeff Derringer, he’s shared the stage with notable figures such as Regis, Silent Servant, Vatican Shadow, Rodhad, Luke Slater, and more. But he hasn’t limited himself to production and performance; over the last two years, he’s organized an astounding sixteen events in the Detroit area (three of which were given the distinction of being Official Movement afterparties) featuring headliners ranging from Rrose to Shifted. Further branching out, Altstadt Echo is the founder of techno-focused web magazine Dub Monitor, which has served as a platform for interviews with artists including Speedy J, Lucy, Oscar Mulero, and more. In 2015, he looks forward to releasing two additional EPs on his own label (in vinyl and digital formats) and performing at the Great American Techno Festival in Colorado.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @materielle_music B2B @marienyx for our 122nd episode of Amplify Series.

Materielle is a Los Angeles-based techno artist whose deep, dub-driven sound draws heavily
from the rhythmic syncopations and atmospheric textures of 90s Detroit techno. Fusing
elements of heavy, hypnotic basslines with intricate patterns and immersive reverb, Materielle’s
music taps into the raw energy and experimental edge of underground techno, with an
emphasis on subtle detail and emotional depth.

A self-taught producer with a decade-long career in music technology, Materielle has cultivated
a distinctive sonic palette shaped by the teachings of pioneering artists like Rødhåd, Ben Klock,
Claudio PRC, and Richie Hawtin. The project’s name, Materielle, is inspired by the delicate art
of weaving—an analogy for the artist's approach to music, where sound is crafted through
layers and textures, much like fabrics are woven together to create something new.

Since 2019, Materielle has honed her craft as a DJ, transitioning seamlessly into production with her track singles, Satin and Organza on Delusional Records and the release of her debut EP, Fabrique on Northern Parallels. The EP, which features the tracks Nylon and Neoprene, with
remixes from Mike Derer and Raytek, has garnered attention for its unique blend of hypnotic
grooves and emotionally charged atmospherics. Materielle’s recent release, a remix of Orly
Gal’s track, The Man Without a Face, was chosen by Beatport for their November 2024 Techno
Shortlist (peak/driving), further solidifying her growing presence in the techno scene. In early
2025, she contributed the track Kevlar to the Synthetik Minds VA Compilation, a benefit release
supporting Los Angeles fire relief efforts. The compilation features a lineup of major artists from across the global techno scene, underscoring Materielle’s commitment to both artistic
collaboration and community impact. Fall of 2025 she releases her next single “Chiffon” on the
forthcoming Split Checks Records VA Compilation.

Marie Nyx is a Los Angeles–based DJ, producer, and label head whose sound bridges electro, techno, and experimental electronica with roots in post-punk, new wave, and darkwave. She has brought her infectious, high-energy style to stages at HARD Summer, CRSSD Festival, Insomniac events, and prominent underground institutions like The Lot Radio. With releases on Delusional Records, Boysnoize Records, Obskur Music, Synthetik Sounds, Hidden Symbols, and Dark Heaven, Marie continues to push boundaries as both an artist and tastemaker. In 2025, she founded Synr, a label dedicated to forward-thinking electro, techno, and experimental sounds, solidifying her place as a driving force in the underground electronic scene.
