Dirty Epic welcomes the Serbian artist @lag for the fifth episode of our Amplify Series podcast.

A promoter of the underground culture, a DJ and a respected producer - Serbian-born Lag is the on the forefront of the new wave of techno artists.

It is easy to notice from his sound that he did not take the usual route on his musical journey. He grew up on punk, acquired a classical education in music and then quit it all to find himself enchanted by the possibilities of expressing oneself both through DJing and making electronic music. He chose techno to be the host for his creative discharge, while always incorporating a certain dosage of his previous musical life to his current work. Grit, rhythm and attitude are his main tools as he blends them into his music, creating a potent combination which enchants, moves and unifies.

Lag’s DJ performances on the Exit festival’s main DJ stage, and the legendary Tresor club speak volumes of his ability to engage his crowd, and offer an intense sonic experience. Through his DJ sets, as well as through workshops and events he organized and promoted under the umbrella of his organization 29524, Lag put efforts into closing the gap between the “good” and the “known”. Since then his promotional activities have reduced, and his focus moved to delivering extremely functional DJ sets, but also on creating and releasing original music, mostly in the techno genre. After several appearances and releases, predominantly on the Serbian label Teskoba, his remix of Grovskopa’s “Atopic” is released on vinyl by Sect Records. He follows it up with his first EP named “Stutter”, a highly acclaimed release which came out on the notoriously uncompromising Singularity Recordings, and his latest outputs, 12” releases on MORD Records named “Misfit EP” and "Fiend EP", underline the quality and uniqueness of his already recognizable sound.

Lag is set to stay on his current path as his mission, his initial vision, is yet to flicker. His ruthless determination is awe inspiring, and is, along with his musical prowess, the main reason for his rising popularity. Lag is definitely someone to keep an eye on, but more importantly - someone to listen to. After all, as he frequently states, “it’s all about the music”.

Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: LISAS

  LISAS is a DJ emerging from the New York techno scene whose expertise spans a multitude of roles. From working as a sound engineer in recording studios alongside artists such as David Byrne, Floating Points, Oneohtrix Point Never,  to performing and touring in the band The Rapture, and producing music for the Ayama NYFW SS24 fashion show; all while repairing vintage analog synthesizers and outboard gear, or managing production for raves and large scale events-the many layers of her journey are as diverse as they are captivating. 

Her foray into DJing - an evolution grounded in her extensive knowledge and boundless curiosity of sound, has become the focal point of her current ascent, where she’s known to unleash an array of strikingly distinct selections that propel her audience on a riotous and feverish ride.
In her own words, her blend of “post-apocalyptic arpeggiators and mermaid synthesis” fuses groovy techno with sizzling bursts of electro, driving trance, heady IDM, glossy breaks, and anthemic rave weapons draped in lush emotive synth-scapes. Her colorful and dynamic style has earned her two coveted residencies, at Le Bain in New York City & in the Brooklyn-born Agape Music collective, along with gigs across top clubs and notorious underground parties in the United States and Europe.

About the mix:
Recorded in my studio in Brooklyn, it's a goodbye letter to a summer in New York that ripped <3 A combination of tracks that I have recently discovered, been playing out and been listening to.

  Enjoy! :)
