KALT Podcast #3.7 // Dima Roas

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @jia6am and @jonnymaven for its 114th episode of Amplify Series.

Although Jia and I have been working together at 6AM for over 10 years now, it is quite rare for us to play back-to-back, making it even more special whenever the opportunity arises. We are both DJs who take the art of the warm-up very seriously, and this set was a great chance for us to step back from the +140 BPM techno we all know and love.

The two-hour set begins with ambient soundscapes, gradually introducing subtle rhythms and melodic motifs that build a quiet but insistent tension on the dance floor. As the energy evolves, we weave deeper and more hypnotic elements into the mix, easing everyone into a collective headspace rather than catapulting them straight into peak-time intensity. This deliberate pacing captures the essence of a proper warm-up: guiding the crowd on a journey where each transition feels purposeful, ushering in anticipation for what’s to come.

Performing back-to-back fosters a special synergy between us, as our shared experience and mutual respect for each other’s style allows for seamless interplay throughout the night. While we both love high-BPM techno, there’s a certain magic in exploring the gentler, more spacious side of our sound. It grants us the creative freedom to layer textures and moods that might otherwise remain hidden when we dive straight into relentless, pounding beats.

Ultimately, this b2b set stands out as a testament to our evolution as DJs and collaborators—showcasing how the foundational warmth of a carefully curated opening can lay the groundwork for an unforgettable night of music. It’s in these moments that we remind ourselves and our community why we’ve been dedicated to the scene for so many years: it’s all about connection, flow, and the shared journey on the dance floor.

Guest Mix 171: Moorhaus

Taking inspiration from the German techno of the 2000s while adding her own twist, Raymond V lulls listeners into a deep sense of cathartic hypnosis. She frequently engulfs the dancefloor in storms of ambient-industrial, yet drives them through this with warm, refined grooves.

Reuniting a tight circle of artists whose contributions have helped shape the label’s trajectory, the release offers an unrelenting sequence of pressure, mental twists, and textural collisions; a multifaceted snapshot of techno’s enduring capacity to evolve, disturb, and seduce.

The compilation resists uniformity. Instead, it thrives on contrast: tension versus release, density against spaciousness, rhythm in all its permutations. From high-energy metallic openers and dub-inflected body rollers, to disorienting, delay-heavy experiments and stripped-back percussive tools, each contribution reveals a unique grip on groove and detail. Some tracks move like engineered machines: sharp, robotic, and syncopated to surgical precision. Others embrace sensuality and unpredictability, exploring spatial motion, layered harmonic friction, and states of controlled chaos.

Each piece acts as a structural component in a larger sonic architecture, where tension is built, collapsed, and rebuilt. Friction becomes a form of choreography. Across the record, a shifting palette of emotional mechanisms takes form; granular and magnetic, haunting and quietly forceful, restrained, then disruptive.

More than a retrospective,  SK_eleven’s first compilation becomes a collective gesture toward techno’s unresolved possibilities:  its ability to hold contradiction, remain in flux, and mutate without conclusion.

After showing up in our label a few years ago with the Coordenadas (EP) from 2020 and including a track in our Fractals (Various Artists) from 2023, it’s now time for Saurio (@felipeparraga) to release a full album.

This body of work comprises eight tracks, representing the “all killer no filler” concept at its best. A proper collection of dancefloor hurters, administered at an adult BPM rate, full of intelligence and details, sometimes sci-fi and synthetic, sometimes funky and shuffled, sometimes linear and hypnotic, but always preserving the fundamental techno roots all over.

Alpha Dracos and the sinister vocal sample opens fire, sharing space with assorted bleeps and a full on groove.

Second cut Andromedans is a proper sci-fi techno tool with complex resonant lines, micro drones and a relentless rhythm.

Number three Zeta Reticulans gives another view on the sci-fi approach, more club focused and more obsessive in the sound recipe. Ideal for the peak time hours on any decent club.

Lyrans puts an eye into Detroit roots but mixed with the industrial madness of the Birmingham sound, this one will make serious damage out there.

Atlanteas is a merciless weapon, again using sinister voices and a white noise washes to ignite the formula. But the hidden melody is the secret here to provide the required trance.

Sirians provides the hi tech funk, with samples, futuristic vocals, punchy bleeps and video game sounds. Proper jacking techno.

Orionians go dreamy and floaty but still preserving the danceable pulse, this one is ideal to bring some soul into darkened dancefloors.

Arcturians closes this epic collection of tunes bringing the minimal soul to the equation and demonstrating that there’s still life in techno, you just have to give some love to your tools.
