SPOKEN103 - Ambu Bambu

Groningen based DJ, producer and friend of the collective Ambu Bambu's music tells emotional stories of wanting to belong, yet fated to a destiny of floating in between. Urgent and rhythmic, with the occasional moment of lightness and release, their selections and productions span realms from breakbeat and bass, to dubbed-out fuzziness and oddball house and techno tracks just weird enough to make you doubt their genres.

Their welcome appearance in the Dutch underground scene is illustrated by key performances at DGTL x Boiler Room, RAUM, and Down The Rabbit Hole. Explorations into scenes abroad have been made, with appearances in Brussels, Berlin, London, and their fully self-booked The Motherland Tour through China. At the same time, they’re tethering through residencies at @relateradio and @sisu_crew.

Enjoy the mix!

SPOKEN103 - Ambu Bambu

Drawing from a place of emotion, APRS delves into the rugged and radiant ends of electronic music, culminating in a powerful signature dotted with elegant motifs. With over ten years of experience producing music, the Berlin-based artist has formed a versatile blueprint that sprawls across deep and driving techno, emotive breaks and ethereal ambiences.
 
In the spring of 2024, Spanish label Sungate released APRS' debut EP, followed by a second EP on ARTS in early 2025. APRS' sound blends rich techno rhythms with balmy ambient notes, deep and warm basslines, and airy dub-infused melodies and textures, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.
 
As a vinyl enthusiast, APRS curates his sets with meticulous selection and graceful flow, blending energetic techno beats with atmospheric elements. His approach invites subtle exploration and experimentation, resulting in cohesive journeys that integrate intense, visceral expression. He has soundtracked renowned venues in Berlin including a recent appearance at Tresor, as well as clubs and festivals in Europe.
 
Collaboration is also integral to his creative process, fostering sound research and enabling the discovery of new areas in electronic music. Working closely with harpist Tancrède, the pair produce live sets in smooth tandem, where the latter weaves the enchanting strings of the electric harp with APRS' machinery.
 
In 2022, APRS co-founded with Serenus the event series Lowpass, centred on the essence of electronic music and committed to diversity, self-expression, and artistic innovation. Lowpass invites established and local artists to perform in various venues across Berlin. In addition to curating the line-ups, APRS often warms up or closes on the night, adapting to transient and packed dancefloors, respectively.
 
Led by an unrushed, explorative approach in the studio, APRS merges emotional vulnerability with maturely crafted sonics, tracing an arc between soothing and searing sounds all the way through.

#SlamRadio - 655 - APRS

Pink Concrete describes himself as someone who does pink touches to concrete music.' This can be seen in his production and his style of mixing, as he is not afraid to add something light-hearted to techno music, which is a genre often understood as being quite serious. However, he still tends to travel through a range of emotions; there's always a hint of melancholia in his sets.

SEVEN House Mix 038: Pink Concrete

Amsterdam's one and only Deniro returns to the series with a two-hour treat spanning his fast-paced, hi-res techno headspace. Up with the cutting-edge wares and laser-focussed grooves, the TAPE Records co-founder and RYC alum has us drifting across hi-tech machine funk scapes and jagged analogue reliefs, constantly in search for the next mind-expanding thrill. Known for his impeccably chiselled signature cuts blending the finest of future-facing techno with an experimental-leaning approach to production, Deniro turns in a monster transmission, rife with the hypnotic hoodoo and typically entrancing buildups that've made him the surefire agent of techno he is today. A gigantic ride packed with climactic eargasms and unsuspected cliff-hangers. Lock in, zone out.

Gothenburg-born DJ and producer Mohajer brings her galvanizing spirit and sophisticated cuts to the series with a 73-minute release. The Swedish veteran and key member of Fast Forward Productions has cultivated over a decade’s worth of sounds from her Berlin base and provided the soundtrack for her mp3 parties as co-founder and long-running resident, as well as for gatherings across a spate of clubs like RSO, Tresor, Berghain, Fold and Basement. Her productions play with her Persian heritage and a blend of electronic music genres to bring a fresh and uplifting take to market: a sensual and bustling mix of driving techno with a heavy focus on community building and human connection. Her dynamo beats emerge from her deep understanding of a dancefloor’s energy, and render obvious her quick-witted feel for music and people. Her forthcoming EP on Spray’s Punctuality Records twists that palette into something bold and elastic: a confident cascade of mystique, mayhem and sensuality. Bassiani Podcast 271 is charged to the brim with her infectious late-night sounds: trippy techno that loops, shifts and builds in intensity, seductive grooves and immersive frequencies from a well-versed Wahlberliner. Trance leaning rhythms courtesy of this prodigious selector.

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.

About Tresor Berlin
At midnight, on March 13th 1991, a basement door opened at Leipziger Strasse 126, Berlin. Through this door, many passed, on their way to defining new terrains in electronic music. There they found a dance floor in the vaults of a closed-down department store, with a unique sound bound to dense fog, building night after night a history that was also a vision of the future.

This history has seen in Jeff Mills’ first sets on three turntables, Underground Resistance's first live appearances in Europe, grandiose Tresor Park parties, to various chapters of the Loveparade with Sven Väth in the 90s and since then countless generation-spanning parties. These moments represent the highlights of infinite personal clubbing experiences. It is the manifestation of the Berlin spirit, emerging from its considerable strife. This history is not without its complications - from temporary closure by the authorities and several raids in the early years to closure and demolition of the old location in 2005. What followed was years of wandering in exile and, finally, resurrection in the new home in Kraftwerk Berlin.

These stories, conversations and shared experiences within our walls forge a resilience that drives towards a shared ideal, the Tresor sound: community, resistance, and the world to come. This was observed in the newly re-unified German youth, who danced and celebrated together from the club’s inception, and into the present day through ongoing community work in Detroit.

To those that have danced before, and to those that will dance in the future: the light at the end of the long Tresor tunnel is a signal. A flicker amidst the fog. This is our future. This is our place.
