Waves of pulsing, layered techno from the revered Mala Junta resident.

If the electronic music industry is caught in the crosshairs of a battle over what makes for true techno, then D.Dan is one of the underground's great modern emissaries.

A figurehead from the new guard of DJs to arise in the '20s, the Berlin-based artist and Mala Junta resident is an ambassador for a sound that is strongly anchored in the classic roots of techno. His productions, like his mixes, are revved-up takes on the hypnotic wormholes that defined dance floors last decade, but with a fresh (and high BPM) millennial twist. 

Originally from Seattle, D.Dan became enamoured with the spectral stylings of psych rock and shoegaze in adolescence. It's not difficult to see how the cosmic tapestry of bands like Cocteau Twins became a blueprint for the entrancing music he's gone on to make as an adult. His releases on Mutant Future and summerpup are latticeworks of loops and layered percussion, custom-tooled for lost hours on the dance floor and drawn-out mixes behind the decks. 

This approach directly extends into his DJ practice, where he pairs song selections from contemporaries that mirror his own reduced, controlled approach to techno. RA.994 is a Grade A display of contemporary four-to-the-floor from flagbearers like Roll Dann and Marcal.

And like D.Dan's standalone records, his RA Podcast finds room for sweetness—the intermittent peal of an open clap, the steady ripening of a chord—while ultimately emphasising the beauty of function and form over flair.

The French techno and IDM producer shares a “fluid, open and evolving” mix 

Dazed Mix: Quelza

Flesh EP sees LUCRE push further into a stripped-down and uncompromising strain of techno. Across four tracks, the producer carves out a raw and hypnotic sound built on weighty basslines, relentless percussion, and a dark, immersive atmosphere.

This is techno at its most physical, minimal in structure but maximal in impact. Each track is driven by repetition and pressure, gradually pulling the listener into a state of tension and release. The result is a body-focused experience that thrives in shadowy, late-night spaces, where intensity is everything and time dissolves into rhythm.

With Flesh EP, LUCRE presents their most direct and forceful work to date, solidifying a sound that is visceral, hypnotic, and impossible to ignore.
