HEPTASEAS 012 - Swarm Intelligence

For the 111th edition, we welcome Crystal Geometry

Modular chaos. Industrial pulse. Relentless precision.
For our 111th edition, we welcome Crystal Geometry, the French live act who commands an ever-evolving arsenal of hardware to summon a sound as mechanical as it is merciless and felt in the front row.

Rooted in the grit of EBM and forged in the shadows of post-industrial techno, his sound is raw, physical, and unflinching. A standout at Intercell: The Void and during our Soenda edition, his live sets don't just fill the room. They command it.

Welcome to the frontline.

SLUFGI - [Vūdcast_054]

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

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the German dj & producer Eve Schwarz (Furanum Records / Mutant Modality).

Infected by the late 90s Schranz wave Eve cannot deny her Frankfurt/Main roots and the affection for energetic warehouse bangers. 
Her ongoing search for raw, edgy tunes, reflecting the typical intensity of her mixes, however has taken her across various European scenes and genres. 
Industrial noise, combined with straight, driving techno elements and distorted breaks might define her signature sound. 
Although a good dose of unpredictability and experimental challenge underline her diverse artistic appearance. 
After residencies in her home city Frankfurt (Tanzhaus West) and Cologne (Uncut Music), hosting several events at the side of electro master Anthony Rother, and seeing more and more venues of her early years vanish, Eve settled over to Berlin in 2017 with the intention to keep growing behind the decks and steadily develop her musical output. 

Beside regular gigs in major clubs like Tresor, Ohm, Kitkat, Renate or Watergate Eve is currently working on a new minimalistic and raw hardware live-setup as well as the incorporation of contemporary and classic vinyl into her DJ sets to re-connect to her roots and to find new inspiration in the origins of her electronic journey.

Today we're thrilled to present this powerful journey through her sound! 🔥🔥🔥

Scalameriya_-_LIVE_August 2025

Swarm Intelligence.
Sound - heavy, fractured, alive.
Techno, broken beats, industrial pressure. Music that feels more like a system breathing than a track playing.

Across his releases, the thread is clear: dense textures, distorted rhythm, a sense of collapse and rebirth. Machines cracking, but moving forward.
Each record a snapshot of tension. Bass that drills, atmospheres that hover, percussion that cuts.

Swarm Intelligence isn’t about comfort. It’s about immersion.
Step in, enjoy this episode and let the noise swallow you.
