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”.

Amplify Series 005 - Lag

With summer ahead of us, we start a new SALON chapter with one of our residents: Jephta

The past period has been a challenge for Jephta. Before the pandemic, he drew a lot of emotional inspiration from the dance floor and his closest friends. These were key ingredients for him to convert emotions into a technical, personal, and fitting story. With these emotions disappearing due to the restrictions, Jephta had to find other ways to stay in touch with what he loves most. He did this by focusing his mentality on further developing his vision and character within electronic music. This process has made his sound even more personal and pure. 

The set represents the turbulent period he went through. Dark and light mixed into a strong musical and emotional story.

Embodiment 031 - Jephta

For our 93rd edition, we´re happy to have @ddoldd

As a live artist and DJ, Patrik Eriksson's work as Dold often
explores the evolving landscape of dance music with one eye
sharply focused on its truest forms. Hailing from Stockholm,
Eriksson built up his reputation alongside live performance
partner Kuf. The pair set up Arsenik Records in 2015, creating a
vital platform to develop their vision of 21st-century techno on
their own terms.

@institut-fuer-zukunft showcase w/ @orpemzo273j9.

There has been a close connection between Eigenrausch and electronic music for ages. Growing up with the raw sound of local techno scenes in east Germany brought her close to  industrial aesthetics, which are still reflected in her sets today. When she moved to Leipzig, she continued developing her sound alongside her constant interest in producing techno and now plays sets that she describes as "driven, with dark gloomy aesthetics and raw undertones".

IfZ Showcase - Eigenrausch 10.10.24

We've hit the big 40! What better way to mark a milestone than to draft in Huddersfield's finest export, LKY. Sporting a sound that feels somewhat reminiscent of the northern towns he hails from, tough, eerie and isolated yet bursting with character, littered with underlying detail. Get it grafting on t' ears!

About LKY:

Born in the UK, LKY has been exposed to electronic music from an early age. With over 10 years experience as a DJ/Producer playing all across Europe delivering hypnotic rhythms with core dub influences throughout.

LKY has released music on labels such as FIGURE and Newrhytmic Records. In 2020 LKY also saw the formation of his self-release series titled ‘LKY’ which was an opportunity to showcase the producers style and direction.

Regular support from artists such as: DVS1, Ben Klock, Freddy K, Len Faki, Luke Slater, and many more.

Chorus Broadcast 040 - LKY

104 minute, no nonsense opening Set I played for none other than DVS1. Mixing ambient into hypnotic and groovy techno to provide a unique opening to an amazing night. 

For whatever reason I decided to use 2 usb's for this set. Which in the end messed up my histories. So my tracklist is all types of fucked up. Ill try to post the tracks I played but sadly they will not be in order 'sorry'.

His Master's Voice is one of those artists that is hard to associate with a specific genre in electronic music. Instead, he is recognized as an artist whose style is continuously morphing and pushing boundaries of electronic music into uncharted territories both in the studio and behind the decks. In the past few years, we've seen a constant rise of this Hannover-based artist. From his debut release on Schleifen and remarkable contribution to KANN's Banana Split release, to mind-bending Delsin debut EP and his very first LP 'Log: a Canis Majoris' on Paul Rich's KCZMRK, His Master's Voice reminds us that the electronic music universe is infinite and that one can still make music that sounds fresh and interesting. His close friendship with VRIL, with whom he often shares countless studio hours, has brought us some fantastic collaborations in the past. Two remixes on Delsin were like an introduction to the Adderall project that His Master's Voice and VRIL started just a few weeks ago with an incredible ode to 90's IDM, the track - 'Cryosleep,' which we had the pleasure of premiering. 

The mix His Master's Voice prepared for us is an intricate journey full of twists and turns through Jungle, Leftfield, Techno, IDM, and Electronica. This is one of those mixes that you'll go back to over and over again, just to hear something new that you may miss the last time you listened to it.
