Amplify Series

Dirty Epic presents its fifteenth episode of the Amplify Series podcasts, this time welcoming @cyberlife-music aboard.

Cyberlife is the side project of the Parisian artist @deikean.

Both dj and producer inspired by a wide range of electronic genres, between dub techno, IDM, drum and bass, tribalistic world music, ambient, trip hop & psychedelic music, Cyberlife, a passionate human being born for endless mind growth and music dedication, brings the ambition to shape a very personal style, surfing on forward thinking, psychedelic, hypnotic and melancholic vibes. By applying layers of effects on stretched field recordings and destructured analog synths jams on a large scale of tempos, the exploration of the meanders of the matrix of electronic music defines his director line, with an aim to find transcendance and reveal a futuristic and organic universe rooted to some old school influences. Don't look for the nerd behind this name, keep the mystery and unpredictability, and share
a musical mindtrip.

Amplify Series 094 - AnD

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.

PREMIERE: Cult - The Grit [Seclusion]

The seventh Various Artists release on Mary Yuzovskaya’s Monday Oﬀ imprint arrives on vinyl in October 2024, with Yuzovskaya, Viels, ORBE, and D-Leria contributing tracks. It follows ‘VA Vol. 6’, which featured Blazej Malinowski, Michal Wolski, Xhato & Milena Glowaka, and won support from artists like Chris Liebing, re:ni, Gigi FM, and more.

First up on the record, Italy’s End Of Perception founder Viels conjures up a storm with ‘Nero’, a cerebral cut with crushing, low end-heavy atmospheres and mysterious alien signals. It is followed by Spanish techno lynchpin and Orbe Records boss ORBE, whose hypnotic ‘Rigging’ explores the abyss with foreboding sonics and a continual beep sequence that guides the track forward.

On the B-side, Monday Oﬀ label head Mary Yuzovskaya presents ‘Trouble’. A masterful bassline and bodied kickdrum starts the trip, providing an excellent foundation while alternating between rattling percussion, deep dub hits, and strangely familiar but indecipherable vocal snippets. 
Sound design wizard D-Leria then closes out the EP with the spellbinding ‘Battito’, complete with mind-blowing melodies and swirling eﬀects, rounding oﬀ another top-draw psychedelic oﬀering on Monday Oﬀ.

Various Artists ‘VA Vol. 7’ drops on Monday Oﬀ 11th October 2024.

Tracklist: 
A1. Viels - Nero
A2. ORBE - Rigging
B1. Mary Yuzovskaya - Trouble
B2. D-Leria - Battito

Amplify Series 112 - Umwelt

In the world of electronic music, minimalism is not just a style, it’s a philosophy: an approach that challenges conventions, strips away the excess, and celebrates the power of the essential.
Future Minimal Techno Volume 3 moves in the silence between sound and emptiness, exploring what remains when noise is removed and the future emerges through the purest of lines.

With contributions from artists who balance experimentation with precision, this volume reveals sonic landscapes where every note, every breath, is essential.
It’s a journey into the future , not as a pre-written dystopia, but as an open space, a fluid possibility that takes shape in the rhythm of the present moment.

Amplify Series 116 - Yant

Mary Yuzovskaya unveils the ‘The More You Know’ remix EP on her vinyl-only Monday Off imprint, releasing 6th June 2025. Featuring reworks from Spain’s ORBE, 90s US Techno legend Mike Parker, Judas Records’ JUDAΣ, and Duna founder CONCEPTUAL, the release builds on an EP that won the support of artists like Daniel Avery, re:ni, Luke Slater, GiGi FM, Kr!z, and Jako Jako.

First up, Token and Mote-Evolver artist and Orbe Records boss ORBE remixes ‘Ittiologia’, maintaining the original’s hypnotism by amplifying its eerie soundscapes for a loopy, deep space trip. JUDAΣ, shrouded in mystery yet known for his self-released EPs on his eponymous label and releases on ARTS, then revisits ‘Micologia’, completely reworking its tripped-out sequences into short bursts of droning synth work.

Tresor, Semantica, and Prologue’s Mike Parker also provides a version of ‘Micologia’, with the US Techno lynchpin slowing down its rhythm while its weighted synthlines bubble up between its kicks and rides. Closing out this remix package, Italy’s CONCEPTUAL reworks ‘Ittiologia’, building tension via the original’s dark and shadowy atmospheres but switching up its low-end for an electric, late-night feel.

Mary Yuzovskaya is a storyteller. Through delicate, masterful curation and a deep knowledge of experimental, trippy Techno, she weaves together sonic journeys - with ‘The More You Know - Remixes’ making for another excellent addition to her Monday Off label.

Mary Yuzovskaya ‘The More You Know - Remixes’ releases via Monday Off 6th June 2025

01 Ittiologia (ORBE Remix)

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @blush-response for our 120th episode of Amplify Series.

BLUSH_RESPONSE is the vehicle for Cuban/American musician Joey Blush's research into the sonic dimension. Reports occur at sporadic intervals, usually in concurrence with the discovery of new planes of existence. Born in Miami, and now stationed in Berlin, Blush has brought his sound experiments to a worldwide audience. He has toured around the world as a solo artist, and as a member of groups such as Scar the Martyr and Front Line Assembly.  He is also a renown sound designer, having done work for companies like Elektron, Yamaha, Arturia, and programming on records from Fear Factory, Cristian Castro, and many more.  

Blush expresses his sound through deep meditation with his electronic instruments, focusing on the interaction between human and machine.  He seeks to both influence and harness the unpredictability of complex electronic instrumentation, in an effort to create an direct expression of his emotions.  This sonic ritualism is exemplified in his prolific reporting of fractalized audio sculpture.  

Blush owns the MEGASTRUCTURE_ label, a haven for sounds on the fringes of reality. You can find his releases on labels such as Artoffact Records Schematic, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Ant-Zen, Sonic Groove, and his own MEGASTRUCTURE_.

PREMIERE: DAHER - Catacombes [Kusiya Records]

Bangladeshi-Canadian artist Lady Tazz has long been leading the techno underground with her dark, seductive styles designed to get dancers to unleash their inner kinks. Her own sounds appear on labels such as Rekids, as well as her own Mind Medizin, which is a tastemaking outlet for liberating techno. Hermanas started in 2024 to spotlight female producers who inspire Lady Tazz. The series encourages artists to celebrate expression, freedom, and individuality on the dancefloor, and this latest edition is another bold continuation packed with artistic empowerment and fearless sonic exploration.

First up is Pert from Buenos Aires, who heads up the GRUVALISMO label and plays around the world. 'Vocal Player' pairs driving, dusty Detroit techno drums with melancholic chords that linger in the air, bringing emotional richness alongside an irresistible groove. Next is Shakti with 'Le FleuR Du Mal', who crafts a moody, intense, yet sparse deep techno atmosphere, with wispy sci-fi chords encircling the groove and pounding kicks powering on below. Mexico City's Laura Coch has brought her sound to renowned platforms like HÖR Berlin and Unknown to the Unknown. She has collaborated with Egyptian Lover and heads up the Global Harmony party collective. Her 'Moshing Ferrets' is a bleakpost-human soundscape that rides double-time kicks and fizzes with static before molten melodies fall down the face of the track and warped bass sucks you in deep.

Colombia's Sara Delerio is another raw, hypnotic techno talent who has begun to make a mark in Europe. Her 'Espiritu' is quick-stepping, well-swung and dubbed out techno with bubbly, organic percussion sprinkled over the mix and ghostly synths layered in to freaky eﬀect. Lastly, Laurel brings a vast techno groove that rolls with the unstoppable force of an oil tanker as warped synths play oﬀ the beats and the pressure keeps building.

Lady Tazz presents Hermanas (Part Three) on Mind Medizin on August 29th 2025.

Tracklist:
01 Pert - Vocal Player
02 Shakti - Le Fleur Du Mal
03 Laura Coch - Moshing Ferrets
04 Sara Delerio - Espiritu

Amplify Series 124 - Kmyle (live in Paris)

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.

PREMIERE: Nikolas Magno - Orbital Isolation [Achalay Records]

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @dimi-angelis for the 125th installment of Amplify Series.

The mix is a live recording played at one of Dimi's Illegal Parties back in the day. It was recorded on the 18th of August 2002 and is part of a 5 hour set, vinyl only.

Thinking of Dimi Angelis, we quickly associate his name with pounding sounds, high-quality releases, and an iconic trajectory. Staying true to his sound, Dimi has evolved over the years into one of the most renowned producers and DJs worldwide.

Looking back to the nineties, Dimi has been one of the key figures shaping the Dutch techno scene as we know it today. His career has been marked by releases on top-tier labels such as Axis Records, Warm Up Recordings, Mord, KEY Vinyl, Tar Hallow, and the co-owned label A&S with Jeroen Search. This has led him to perform at major techno institutions such as Berghain, Awakenings, Dekmantel, and Tresor.

Another product of Dimi’s creativity is his solo label, ANGLS, which delivers raw and uncompromising techno. In recent years, Dimi has been a regular presence across different continents, frequently performing in Latin America, Asia, and the USA.

PREMIERE: Fhase87 - Mood [SOTOR RECORDS]

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @raffaele_attanasio for the 126th installment of Amplify Series.

"My trajectory, I hope, will always be uphill, in continuous musical evolution... I’m always hungry for new sound experiences, and I’ll put all my soul into it." - Raffaele Attanasio

The confines of contemporary music often ensnare a musician in a particular sound. Wrapped up in a box that defines and sells the 'product', that it's easier to digest for the modern consumer. It operates on a plane where it is assimilated in tiny soundbites that are quickly digested and moved on. Sound can get lost amongst trying to 'make it' or get likes. Music is not lost though; it exists as it always has and the passion for composing transcendent and transportive tracks exists in an artist like Raffaele Attanasio.

Born to a musician father in his home city of Naples, Attanasio was only satiated when listening to virtuoso maestros like Il Guardiano del Faro and Keith Emerson. Developing his prodigious ear, he trained on drums and then piano and his auspicious ability become apparent early. In his late teens, he ventured into DJing and electronic music production and has garnered plaudits from Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims; even performing with Mills in a B2B live set and also Octave One. He found a home within the electronic music community, heading his own label Letter From Jerusalem, and releasing on others, such as Third Wave Black and Non Series. His label even released music from Douglas McCarthy of the band Nitzer Ebb.

What has never been lost on Attanasio is his eclectic flair. His releases span from nefarious techno - even releasing under his X-501 alias - to riveting Detroit inspired dance music with soulful piano. That piano may encapsulate a sound not many may equate to the Italian, but he now threads down a course that garners influences from his native Naples and musicians like Keith Jarret Duke Ellington and even Hans Zimmer. His artistic mould is shaped from by his experiences, and these are laid bare in his jazz-tinged sound on his album Nuovo Futuro, which was released on Axis records. Kaleidoscopic in his quenching of musical thirst, Attanasio keeps music in its purest form. These melodic air vibrations evoke something opaque, yet wildly pulchritudinous, regardless of the audience.

Amplify Series 126 - Raffaele Attanasio

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @shantievanti for the 127th installment of Amplify Series.

Shanti has made textured waves in Chicago’s techno scene with her curation of dark, sinister, and ethereal soundscapes. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. She has been deeply moved by the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory through combining and cultivating surreal, atmospheric, and haunting sounds.
 
Enamored by the liminal dynamics of sound, she cohosts Otherworldly Ambiguity with Scum.ee –an experience that is centered around the phenomenon of existing in between and outside of pre-existing concepts and rigid categories. She is also a member of techno collective Research & Development and hosts a monthly radio show, “Liminal Radio” on WIIT 88.9 FM featuring thoughtful artists at the core of Chicago’s underground music scene.
 
Experiencing music outside of the confines of a club or the underground is extremely important to Shanti as she had initially discovered her favorite artists through online podcasts and radio. The universalizability of podcasts and radio enable music to be experienced by more humans situated in different contexts. This is why she has contributed to many notable online mix series and radio channels. Her mixes have been featured on The Black Lodge Radio, SutroFM, Mutant Radio, PPRZ, Distant Signals, Death Decay & Magic, Braid Records, Low Visibility, Dance All Day, and m50’s etc radio among other podcasts and shows.

"For this closing set, I wanted to cultivate an atmosphere of releasing the turbulent emotions we have been experiencing in Chicago as a community. I anticipated the desire for this release but experiencing it in the subterranean context of Smartbar - in the darkness - in real time- felt so powerful and transcendent. This experience was not merely an escape, but a channeling of the heaviness within us - how do the mind and body cope and grasp what is happening? I was fueled by the defiantly heavy energy from the dancers and it was such a testament to the healing power of music during these dark times."

PREMIERE: Kmyle & Ramon Tapia - Singularity [SOTOR RECORDS]

Mary Yuzovskaya’s Monday Off rounds out 2025 with its eighth vinyl-only various artists compilation, arriving 12th December, featuring Feph, Rasser, Mathys Lenne, and Xhato. Opening the record is Florida’s Feph, co-operator of Alchemista Records and Zosimos, with ‘A Realization’, where wild electric currents crackle over a subtle, sharp beat as shocks and zaps scatter into the darkness. Spanish DJ and producer Rasser follows with ‘Constant Pulse’, a hulking techno chugger of warped rhythms and hammering metallic hits. On the flip, France-born Germany-based Mathys Lenne, known for outings on Mord, ORBE, and Blue Hour, oﬀers ‘A Gentle Singularity’, its tumbling percussion and drone-like synth casting a hypnotic spell while sparkling high-end shimmers above. Previous Monday Oﬀ contributor Xhato then closes with ‘Lemon Swirl’ , a mystical finisher where soft sequences snake through brooding ambience, providing a guiding light as the kick drum marches resolutely. Launched while working at the now-closed Brooklyn record store Halcyon The Shop in 2017, Mary Yuzovskaya’s Monday Oﬀ has since become a home for hypnotic excellence on wax, matching her own reputation as a formidable vinyl-only DJ and Techno producer. Across its now eighteen releases, the label has featured the likes of Blazej Malinowski, D-Leria, Milena Glowacka, ORBE, Soramimi, Viels, and Yuzovskaya herself, with each release continuing to cement her reputation as one of the genre’s most trusted curatorial voices.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @xiorro for the 128th installment of Amplify Series.

Xiorro is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and label head whose all-vinyl sets and unmistakable presence have made him a defining force in contemporary techno. He first emerged from Brooklyn’s underground in 2017, where his work with ALKHEMY and the warehouse/off-site rave series The Black Hole became central pillars of the city’s DIY nightlife.
Now firmly rooted in Berlin, Xiorro has become a core resident at RSO, continuing the trajectory he began during the club’s previous era as Griessmuehle in Neukölln. His regular appearances during RSO’s intense weekender programming have earned him a reputation as one of the venue’s most trusted and versatile selectors—known for extended, vinyl-driven sets that balance precision, stamina, and narrative depth.

A self-taught artist with a sharp instinct for tension, groove, and acceleration, Xiorro crafts long-form journeys that reflect both technical mastery and the rhythmic sensibility of his Puerto Rican heritage. His tactile command of vinyl allows him to move fluidly between hypnotic introspection and peak-time intensity, preserving the raw energy of underground rave culture while pushing it forward. With an ear tuned to otherworldly textures and a drive that anchors every performance, Xiorro continues to leave an unmistakable imprint on RSO’s identity and on dance floors across the global techno circuit.
