Thankyou for listening, hope you enjoy the tunes 😎

Since I was born I feel attracted by music. I listen to almost all genres. In 1990 I fell in love with electronic music. Started dreaming of spinning vinyl, bought my first records. I had access to equipment but was too shy and nervous to pursue my dream. In 2015 I started again this time digital Djing. First as Djane Octavia I was playing Deep House, House and Tech House. Later also Techno, Hard Techno, Acid Techno and Industrial Techno . When I started playing techno, I got more recognition. Had the honour to perform in different radio shows and began to publish sets on Soundcloud and Mixcloud: BASSINJECTION CUEBASE-FM.DE SHB-Showcase Planet X & CLUBIO PRESENT FORWARD Natural Instinct Since December 2017 I use Djane Octavia only for the other genres and have a new name for techno: Djane Darkness. Since October 2019 I am a resident DJ for Keepers of the Labyrinth. My favourite labels: Suara, Hate, Hex Recordings, Innergate Records and many more
My favourite artists: too many too mention but let's try: Ritchi Hawtin, Laurent Garnieren, Gary Beck , Chris Lieblng 999999999, Nico Moreno, Vendex, Snts, Paula Temple, Lorenz Raganzini and many more. Who was my inspiration: The Music, DJs and Djanes and friends who also mix.

- 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.

--> "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!
