Amplify Series 091 - New Frames (Live at The Playground, 01.05.24)

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @blazejmalinowskiofficial for its 99th episode of Amplify Series.

Take any of Blazej Malinowski’s numerous projects—his wide-ranging productions, powerful DJ or live sets, events, radio shows or record label Inner Tension—and you will find the same ethos at the core. 
They’re all built on a passion for creating uplifting moments through electronic music, and on an open-mindedness to explore, collaborate and evolve.

Malinowski started DJing in early 2000s Warsaw, while eagerly discovering early US house and techno music. Together with his friend Michał Wolski, Malinowski started the Fünfte Strasse Project as an event series and radio show. From there, gigs quickly began to flow. His skills behind the decks stood out, and before long Malinowski was playing across Poland and around the world, delivering beloved sets of driving, contemporary techno.

While developing an uncompromising musical identity as a DJ, Malinowski began to translate his nuanced interpretation of techno, ambient and experimental music into productions. His first released works landed in 2012, laying the groundwork for records on acclaimed labels such as The Gods Planet, Svreca’s Semantica and Claudio PRC’s 012. Fast forward to today and Malinowski is a go-to name for tripped-out, psychedelic grooves for pitch-black dancefloors.

Despite his acclaim as a techno artist, Malinowski holds the more experimental side of his craft in equal standing. He is the founder of the A/V event series Why So Silent?, which pairs electronic music with silent movies, and also continues to push his boundaries through collaborations, such as the leftfield duo Keen Distress, or B2B sets.

Though Malinowski recently made the move to Berlin in order to fully realise his ambitions, he remains as committed as ever to his native Poland’s musical landscape, holding down a residency at Jasna1 and tirelessly championing the country’s cultural history and vibrant scene. From his new home, a global hub for dance music, Malinowski is pushing himself to explore the full range of possibilities within techno’s ever-evolving framework.

Amplify Series 097 - NƵM 99

Dirty Epic is pleased to welcome back @temudo for its 96th episode of Amplify Series.

- “This set was recorded in León last weekend, in a lovely night by Solid Velvet. The main reason why I chose this particular mix is not because it has a lot of unreleased or exclusive music, but mostly because it captures my current flow, and it was a really fun session :) Still, you can also find some ‘mystery’ beats from myself and friends. Hope you enjoy!”

One of the most active players shaping contemporary Techno, Temudo has developed his own vocabulary creating a unique trademark sound. 
His interpretation of the genre is made through a clinical approach, blending the soul of the genre with a modern and unorthodox methodology.
With the rare ability to absorb and express different moods keeping the same signature sound, he manages to have the seal of a wide spectrum of labels like Klockworks, Blueprint, Soma or Warm Up - whose work speaks for itself. 
As a DJ the sharp vision remains, delivering a fast paced eclectic journey with music from different time frames mixed in an coherent and elegant way. 
He’s one of the minds behind Hayes and runs his own Mastering Studio: Tema Mastering.

In 2023 Temudo starts a journey into Live performance: his approach has been much less linear than one would expect as it is more of a spontaneous act than a structured, pre-programmed set. This results in each set being completely different, a whole lot of variety and him squeezing Ableton to the limit of sonic possibilities.

Born in Rome late in the 80s, where he took his first steps deejaying and producing with Black Sam Records around 2010, he became the founder of 'Monolith Records' in 2014. As deejay, sound designer, resident of the former eclectic platform 'Liber Null Berlin', art director of the event series 'Metamorphosis Berlin', Sirio Grimaldi aka Sirio Gry J have been proposing sounds and concepts able to destabilize and renew the scene of Berlin during the last decade. 
Focusing on crafting, disclosing and supporting meaningful electronics, the mission to push the boundaries and deconstruct the standard methods led him to forge a unique dark aesthetic as the fruit of an uncompromisable vision which led to establish an identity that made him a key figure in the most underground circuits of the darker music scene of the arty Berlin. 
His work also reached the attention of Alessandro Bavari, Italian pioneer of the digital arts (also more recently director of the special effects sequences of Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien Covenant’), with whom he collaborated for several videos as sound designer and musician since 2017. Born in Rome and relocated to Berlin after studying music production in London, he’s been regularly playing in the most iconic clubs that consecrated the Berlin scene during its golden years (such as Berghain Säule, Tresor, About Blank, Grießmühle, KitKat Club, Suicide Circus, Arena Club, Urban Spree, OHM-ex Shift… to name a few) and exported his unique dj sets over Europe (in France, Italy, Greece, United Kingdom, Latvia) and Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan), while releasing tightly on labels like Furanum Records, Overdraw, Mechanical Thoughts, Several Reasons along with the regular contributions for his own imprint Monolith Records and Liber Null Berlin.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @fresk0 for its 102nd episode of Amplify Series.

Fresko is an entity which has appeared and disappeared a hundred times for long periods of undefined time, throwing back into war times. The sound might be placed above dark, aggressive backgrounds (scenarios) - although mostly in a not-so-proper way, given the clear conscience of the contrast between what's grotesque and what is deep. It contributes to the rave culture and sound by allowing several virgin connections between body and memory; systems which are already archetypes are meaningful to its progression, always attending to its own evident route for whatever 'exotic' may stand for - never the less, experimenting at all times, relying above all in its individual diverse languages and symbols. Currently based in Lisbon.

Fresko delivers a hypnotic set with strong UK influences in this latest mix.  With a focus on groove-driven beats and subtle, evolving tension, Fresko showcases his ability to create an immersive experience that draws listeners into a hypnotic flow.
Perfect for fans of UK-inspired sounds and underground vibes, this mix is a testament to his evolving style and versatility as an artist.
We can listen to some tracks of him in this podcast but mind to have a closer listen into his latest releases on Hayes Collective, Planet Rhythm, Prima Materia and Neighbourhood.

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

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @risataniguchi for its 104th episode of Amplify Series.

Risa Taniguchi is arriving at the forefront of the dark techno wave that has washed over the underground in recent years. The Tokyo born - and based - artist has spent recent years cultivating her own signature sound of distorted textures, fizzing synths and a quietly burning energy, which consumes all who hear it. Delivering shocks and surprises with a curious motif or unpredictable element on her set, for those who like to cut loose in a dark environment, she is the perfect selector.

In the studio as well as the club, Risa focuses on the drums, programming kicks that bring visceral and often aggressive thrills next to a uniquely addictive layer of well designed snares and hi hats. Her signature has become her own subtle and intriguing vocal samples, best heard on Slipped My Mind and This Guy. She adds layers of acid bass and an always raw, edgy aesthetic. Having experienced them first hand whilst living in London, in 2010, Risa also has an enduring love of underground UK bass sounds, which can be heard in many of her tracks. The multi-talented act is also formally trained and a skilled player of the piano, who continues to play daily.

Since her first release back in 2018, Risa has attracted high profile interest from A-list players Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Chris Liebing, Pan Pot, Dense & Pika, and Radio Slave; has hit the Top 5 of the Beatport's Leftfield Techno Chart and played everywhere from De Marktkantine in Amsterdam to Watergate in Berlin, while setting herself regularly at her resident Womb Tokyo, and of course all the most revered spaces all across Japan including Vent, and Joule Osaka.

Despite the pandemic, the recent years have proven to be a high watermark for Risa as she has delivered a continuous flow of new music, primarily on Pan Pot’s Second State, Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains, and Chris Liebing’s CLR.

One of her most notable achievements is her "So Loud EP," which skyrocketed to the top of Beatport's Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic) Top Releases chart. This milestone not only underscores Risa's talent and dedication but also cements her position as a formidable force in the techno genre.

As a testament to his prolific artistry, he has collaborated with prestigious labels such as SK11, Voitax, Enemy, Fides Records, and his presence has been felt at DVS1's curated parties throughout Europe.

Nearing its tenth anniversary, Fides Records stands as a testament of Z.I.P.P.O's sonic vision.
Under its emblem, the birth of 3KZ, a side project born by Z.I.P.P.O and Kaelan, was soon recognized by Resident Advisor as “Sci-Fi Tinged Techno”. Meanwhile, his releases have graced compilations curated by the likes of Ryan Elliot and Amelie Lens for Fabric, his distinctive sound captures the imagination as it oscillates between ethereal introspection and captivating energy

On the dance floor Z.I.P.P.O’s performances are defined by his eclectic selection, deeply rooted in his vast record collection and representing a profound love for the club culture. Whether it's one of his signature marathon closing sets at Tresor, or sunlit festivals like Polifonic and Boiler Room, his contribution consistently highlights the Italian artist's dedication, establishing Z.I.P.P.O as a luminous figure in the ever-evolving realm of electronic music.
