Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @temudo for its nineteenth episode of Amplify Series.

The Portuguese João Rodrigues started his alias Temudo in 2014, after a period into the Drum and Bass scene. The Drum and Bass influence can be heard not only on the detailed sound design and low end focus of his music, but also on the energetic and eclectic 3 deck sets he has to offer. As a DJ he provides a journey within the several contexts of the Techno universe, blending different years and locations with a natural and clever approach, keeping his own pace.

Over the last years he saw some of his music being widely played, such as “Tough To Say” or “The Beholder” from the EPs “Unnecessary” and “Not The End But a Change”, both released on Soma, or “Jack and Verge” from the collaborative EP with Nørbak “I Will Guide Thy Hand”, released on Modularz. 2021 seems to be a productive year, with the debut on Ben Klock’s Klockworks and Oscar Mulero’s Warm Up with 2 acclaimed EPs.

João describes himself as a nerd for audio processing, composing techniques and solving puzzles in the pursuit of the perfect mix. His background in Jazz, a Degree in Sound and a Master Degree in Music and Technology gave him the tools for the unorthodox experiments he takes in the studio. It is fair to say that Temudo is one the Portuguese Techno main characters.

Amplify Series 19 - Temudo

Up this week with a choice two-hour guide tour across his post-apocalyptic headspace, Hayes Collective alum Nørbak treats us to a deluge of fractured beats, 909-powered uppercuts and radioactive grooves from the crypt. Hazardous to the fullest, this hectic new set from the Portuguese producer flings us into orbit through an ever impeccable selection and matching jockeying skillset, pulling no punches in his quest to obliterate down to the very last bit of inhibition in you. Resistance is futile, Nørbak is on your heels and he’s up to no good*. *The good kind of no good.

Welcoming NYC based @holden-federico to our 19th edition of Alphabet podcast. continuing with the raw, up-tempo rolling techno drill we all love! 

"With this mix, I aimed to make the techno mix I want to hear—both as someone on the floor and as someone listening in headphones. This collection of songs is focused primarily on theme and narrative. My primary goal was using layering and track selection to bring story and pacing to the forefront. There are lots of different textures, styles, and eras within this mix, but cumulatively it represents my definition of a modern approach to classic techno: raw, soulful, rhythmic, stripped-back, and futuristic."

Vault Sessions #098 - Justine Perry

To relaunch his seminal imprint, Infrastructure New York, David Sumner aka Function presents his new 12", Green EP. Celebrating 27 years of Function releases this year and the label’s 25th anniversary, the label will serve as an outlet for his new material, reissues of out of print classics from Synewave, Sandwell District and Ostgut Ton (and of course, Infrastructure), as well as developing new artists and launching a long awaited Bandcamp page - exploring the annals of nearly three decades of the Function sound.
 
As a member of the Sandwell District collective, Function, from 2007 onward was instrumental in cultivating and ushering in a new sound of dark, cerebral hypnotica - forcing the hand of change in global techno. Green EP serves as a testament to this, further exploring these depths. The EP pays homage to the day when David arrived in Berlin with his green suitcase where his record “Isolation” on Sandwell District was released, hitting the ground running and spring boarding into an incredibly successful career, becoming a stalwart DJ/producer, after years as a struggling artist.
 
Green EP encapsulates the same raw power and hypnotic energy of his genre defining Sandwell District releases Isolation, Anticipation and Variance, updated with a modern flair. Subject f (Function) has clearly transcended, as expressed through the opening track “Initiation” arriving at his “New Designation”. On the b-side Function communicates his divine alignment through the broken beat, etheric “Aeternum (Meridian)”. Finally, Function closes Green EP with a live extraction of “Desire and Memory”, a brooding club stormer in contrast to the more experimental leanings of the original version, which appeared on Rrose’s label Eaux.
 
Next to releasing a new EP and restarting the label, an attached Bandcamp page and label webshop will be launched. These portals will in time see the release of previously out of stock releases as well as re-issues and unreleased Function material, next to new releases by other artists. No doubt fans will be excited!
 
One thing is clear: Function is back on track and more on form than ever!

After ending his residency as a DJ on radio station 88.7FM kspc in 1995, Developer "Adrian Sandoval" Became the Import & Export Manager of the first dedicated techno distribution company on the west coast " Entity Music Distribution " which distributed top labels such as Axis Records, Reload Belgium, Plus 8, as well as a wealth techno label's from Detroit, Chicago and around the world.

Developer gained much of his acclaim and extensive performance history from his strong marathon sets and quick programming skills as well as the ability of playing 50 tracks per hour on 3 turntables with effect processor and sampler.

Developer continues to thrive as one of the most interesting techno mixmasters from the Americas as well as the birth of his label Moduarz which features productions and remixes from some of his early contemporaries in Los Angeles as well as a few established and emerging talents from around the world. 

Developer's current approach on the advanced DJ/Performance comes naturally with the evolution of technology, software, effect processors and a strong library of timeless Techno and House tracks

DifferentSound invites Developer / Podcast #250

Dirty Epic is pleased to welcome back @temudo for its 96th episode of Amplify Series.

- “This set was recorded in León last weekend, in a lovely night by Solid Velvet. The main reason why I chose this particular mix is not because it has a lot of unreleased or exclusive music, but mostly because it captures my current flow, and it was a really fun session :) Still, you can also find some ‘mystery’ beats from myself and friends. Hope you enjoy!”

One of the most active players shaping contemporary Techno, Temudo has developed his own vocabulary creating a unique trademark sound. 
His interpretation of the genre is made through a clinical approach, blending the soul of the genre with a modern and unorthodox methodology.
With the rare ability to absorb and express different moods keeping the same signature sound, he manages to have the seal of a wide spectrum of labels like Klockworks, Blueprint, Soma or Warm Up - whose work speaks for itself. 
As a DJ the sharp vision remains, delivering a fast paced eclectic journey with music from different time frames mixed in an coherent and elegant way. 
He’s one of the minds behind Hayes and runs his own Mastering Studio: Tema Mastering.

In 2023 Temudo starts a journey into Live performance: his approach has been much less linear than one would expect as it is more of a spontaneous act than a structured, pre-programmed set. This results in each set being completely different, a whole lot of variety and him squeezing Ableton to the limit of sonic possibilities.

DGTL MIX SERIES #144 - JUSTINE PERRY

Designer II - RO

Here is a track that I was initially going to be steering into the Drum & Bass arena but then that melody hit me and was so trance like that I had to explore that genre for this song.   This is my version of what a trance song would be.  Please leave a commen, and enjoy the trip.

Nighttime Running

Hailing from Bristol via Berlin, Decka holds the musical heritage of both his home cities pulsating through complex, cross-pollinated rhythmic structures and an ever sharp sound design that you’ll indulge losing yourself within completely. Blurring the lines between classically sequenced techno, richly textured dubs and more mischievous electroid off-road sorties, the British jockey and producer's RYC transmission hypnotizes as much as it entrances, making a point of showcasing the profound beauty that lies in subtle details and painstakingly textured sonic tableaux.
