Amplify Series

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @elyas13130sp for its 113th episode of Amplify Series.

Marseille-based producer Damien Lapéna launched his ELYAS project on the renowned Modularz imprint from Los Angeles. Between 2010 and 2016, he released over 35 vinyl records across various projects, collaborating with industry heavyweights such as Jérôme Sydenham, Perc, Dustin Zahn, and Pfirter.

During this period, he performed at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including Tresor, Berghain, Corsica Studios, and Cassette Club, as well as in New York. His sets saw him share the stage with influential artists like Function, DJ Nobu, Developer, and Grindvik.

After a long hiatus, ELYAS returned in 2020 with fresh inspiration and a renewed creative vision. Since then, he has released new material on Soma Records, Ben Sims' Symbolism, and The Infamous Player, marking a new chapter in his career with a signature blend of raw, driving techno.

In addition to his production work, ELYAS is the founder of Seclusion, a label dedicated to showcasing forward-thinking, raw techno. With Seclusion, he creates a platform for like-minded artists who share his passion for deep, hypnotic, and powerful sounds that push the genre’s boundaries.

A true artist at heart, ELYAS is dedicated to the art of DJing in its purest form, delivering high-energy, vinyl-only sets that showcase his deep connection to music. With an ever-evolving approach to production and an uncompromising energy behind the decks, he continues to push boundaries, delivering hypnotic and powerful techno for the dancefloor.

FLOAT RECORDS PODCAST 039 | @c0nn0rwall

"This mix is a shorter cut of my set at Solace at the start of April. To me, this was one of, if not my favourite gig to date. I haven't seen a dancefloor in Naarm/Melbourne rock that good in a long time. There are plenty of driving, mind twisted tracks in this set, with many unreleased tunes from the usual suspects (Neo, Obscur, Hasvat Informant etc)". - Connor Wall

The term "artist to watch" gets thrown around a lot these days, especially with the volume of new artists entering the scene with unprecedented access to tracks, information, and technology. Often, however, it's a certain attitude that elevates the true heads above the groundswell of an ocean of new artists, and Connor Wall is unquestionably of this ilk.

Inspired from past, present and future experiences - Connor's creative constancy has allowed him to shape his sound into the organic, weighty, and effective tracks you can hear on labels like Treatment, Float, Phorum and WSNWG.  There is a potent, heart-palpitating sonic representation that accompanies anything Connor does, and part of the reason why he is such an exciting prospect leading into the future. His devotion to a particular sound and approach has driven his ability to grow rapidly since entering the scene just a few years ago, and it is this obsession that will continue to allow him to blossom. He’s an artist to watch by all accounts, and whether it’s DJing or producing, he is emerging as an essential feature of Australia.

T3R Hyperspace 61 - VIL (Hayes/Carícia)

Uväll is a key figure in Georgia’s electronic music scene. Raised in Tbilisi, he’s developed a distinctive sound built on deep, driving rhythms and raw, dancefloor-focused energy.

This mix was recorded using three decks and a reverb unit, featuring mostly unreleased and forthcoming music—from Uväll himself, producer friends, and standout new tracks that caught his ear. It brings together his favourite shades of techno in a carefully balanced ride through the sound he loves.

BCCO Mix Series 604: Uväll

This is the 9th episode of our monthly podcast 'Nachtstrom Sessions' mixed by Denise Rabe!

Denise Rabe's experience in the Berlin techno scene as a booker, radio host, promoter and dj since she relocated to German capital drawn by the possibility of a life in music, is reflected in the pragmatic, grounded artist she became and the unique, original voice she's developed as a producer.
 
Her approach and work ethic can be seen expressed on every release she's done under her label, Rabe, where her music is matched with an equal amount of care, thought and work, in the vessels that contain it, within a coherent aesthetic and vision that informs music, artwork and presentation equally.
 
This has allowed her to recruit the artist who's work resonates with her sensibility and can be heard in the remixes Rrose, Shxcxchcxsh, Headless Horseman, among others, have done for her releases on her and other labels.
 
Imprints such as Mutewax, who released her first 12“ in 2015, ARTS where she quickly became one of the label's staples and Stroboscopic Artifacts where she published „Manifesto“ in 2019, are clear reference points that describe her career and its development.
 
Rabe's particular inclination to sparse industrial soundscapes, gothic aesthetics, driven grooves under hooks that hypnotize as much as they distinguish, have propelled her 10 year career across stages all over the US, Asia and Europe, as well as the clubs that represent the apex of techno world wide such as Berghain and Tresor.

Enjoy the music!

Off the decks and behind the scenes, Benabou is a skilled mastering engineer and vinyl-cutter, delivering top-tier masters for both vinyl and digital formats. 

This mix is spacious yet relentless. An hour of beautiful chaos.

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.

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

Recorded live at Danza Futura 2025, this set captures the full force of Temudo’s unique sound: sharp, minimal, driving — yet deeply emotional. As one of the most vital figures in Portugal’s techno scene and co-founder of Hayes Collective, Temudo delivered an unforgettable journey through pulsating rhythms, dense textures, and immersive sound design.

Let yourself be transported back to the forest, where nature and machine merge, and the dancefloor becomes a ritual.

Music Is My Drug

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.
