PARADOX PODCAST #162 -- MAL_HOMBRE

koryu Budo V years anniversary.

available on bandcamp: 
https://koryubudo.bandcamp.com/album/hector-mad-plays-koryu-budo

In these times when the term DJ is sold so cheaply, vinyl artists like Héctor Mad shine with their own light.

With a turntable experience stretching back several decades, his prowess in the craftsmanship of music mixing is beyond doubt.

That is why we have chosen him to be the author, yes author, of this complex piece of music that results from the combination of the productions that he himself has chosen from our catalog.

Throughout the footage of this mix, 40 skilfully intertwined excerpts sound that provide a personal and non-transferable vision of the label's catalog, techno in all its forms and manifestations in a unique sound journey.

The pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly, as part of the same whole that the artists who have donated their art to us have composed individually. What a better way to celebrate these first five years of Koryu Budo!

We are infinitely grateful for the talent and dedication of all the participants in this adventure, from the graphic part to this compilation in the form of a mix by Héctor, which will be released in limited cassette format.

Amplify Series 105 - Trovarsi (Live set at REFORM 9/21/2024)

IGNORANCE SESSION / 2.7 / Boyd Schidt (Live recorded at Khidi)

Viajamos a Barcelona para disfrutar de el número 17 de nuestra serie de podcasts.

Os presentamos una hora de desarrollo de las manos de Étam.

Étam, es el seudónimo detrás de uno de los cofundadores del sello Loopaina Records, sello con sede en la capital catalana. Junto con su hermano Jorge llevan ya más de 40 referencias tanto en digital como en vinilo. En esta hora de set tenemos buena muestra de su música con tracks de gente como, Jhon Plaza, Roi, Sejon, RVDMNTL, Lakej & Biorc o nuestro querido amigo, Kolpos.

¡Gracias Étam!

Étam, from Barcelona (Spain), was born in Santander but has lived like a globetrotter, spending time in cities like Belgrade, Oslo, Tarragona, and now residing in the Barcelona area. A humble lover of electronic music since childhood, he gradually found his way to deeper, darker techno, where he truly feels at home.
Étam is known for creating long mixes that highlight careful equalization, allowing the music to breathe and take listeners on a sonic journey. In 2022, he and his brother Jorge launched their own record label Loopaina Records, striving to carve out a place in the competitive techno scene, which is dominated by established artists’ labels.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @infinitydivisionx for our 119th episode of Amplify Series.

Infinity Division is the alias of electronic producer Ash Luk best known for his innovative blend of euphoric melodies, scattered breakbeats and gabber infused rhythmic chaos drawn from his relentless live performances. In addition to his work with Infinity Division, Ash is one half of the electronic live duo S.A.T.I.N. alongside Ireen Amnes and is also known for his work in Minimal Violence, a project known for their raw, hardware, punk influenced live performances, releasing on labels such as Tresor and Technicolour / Ninja Tune. 

Now, with Infinity Division, Ash continues to build on a body of work that explores the space between genres, combining an attention to detail through carefully constructed sound design with the spontaneity and raw energy of his live performances. 'Satisfaction’ sets the stage for the next phase of Infinity Division, showcasing a collection of tracks that draw from the essence of the past while reaching out toward a mirage of the future. Spanning doomy post-rave and trance-driven metal to breakbeat-infused industrial pop, his debut album 'Satisfaction’ is united by a genre-defying exploration of the elusive essence of anthemic sound & includes remixes from Baseck, Assyouti & DJ Loser & vocal contributions from Zastar of Violent Magic Orchestra, Coy Mistress, and Nova Bruise, enriching the album’s diverse soundscapes.

Amplify Series 119 - Infinity Division

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_.

Amplify Series 120 - Blush Response

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @pooja_b_ikigai for our 121st episode of Amplify Series.

Pooja B delivers raw, textured, and boundary-pushing techno that channels an expansive range of her sonic identity. Her recent appearances include Tresor, RSO, Gegen, Genau Turin & KHIDI. She hosts an event series called Majja (it means fun in Marathi, her mother tongue) and fun is for everyone. The event attracts not only the club kids but also the mature raver & sober ones, queers & allies alike, who may want to engage in music, food and art. With Indian roots and based out of Berlin, she has also curated a diaspora-focused Tresor New Faces, to bring forth BIPOC perspectives in electronic music. She constantly aims to carve space with intention. A recent SLAM Radio feature adds to her growing momentum. She also co-hosts The Coping* Club, a radio show on mental health on refuge worldwide Radio. Like her, her music is often political—drawing a global community that supports her with heart and fervour.

This is snippet of high-pressure defiant techno set taken from a recent secret rave. Gritty and unrelenting, just like her. Enjoy!

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.
