Sledgehammer, the new release by Berlin-based XTR HUMAN, blends industrial EBM, rave, and hard techno into a sound of raw physicality and industrial power. Relentless rhythms, hammering beats, and metallic textures forge a brutal dancefloor weapon. This release turns pure aggression into kinetic muscle music – a soundtrack for dancing with iron in hand.
The release is accompanied by a video featuring Eddie Dark, who is summoned by XTR HUMAN to master the art of sledgehammer golf in the industrial wastelands of Berlin.
Featuring remixes by Dancing Plague, Personal Offence, and Kris Baha, Sledgehammer drops July 18 via Wie Ein Gott Records.

XTR HUMAN - Sledgehammer (Dancing Plague Remix) [Wie Ein Gott Records]

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @zanias for our 117th episode of Amplify Series.

Zanias has been haunting underground clubs around the world with her instantly recognisable voice and uniquely ethereal electronic productions since 2011, with the spawning of her first project Linea Aspera in London. She has since relocated to Berlin and released under a multitude of aliases and collaborations, including the band Keluar with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb, and vocals for Dax J, Ancient Methods, I Hate Models, Fractions and Infravision (Kendal and Pablo Bozzi). She also co-founded and runs the independent label Fleisch Records, which was a major driving force in the resurgence of electronic body music in the Berlin techno sphere with releases from artists such as Schwefelgelb, Forces, Kontravoid, Infravision and Kris Baha. Her live appearances at Berghain, Khidi, Wave Gotik Treffen and Cruel World Festival alongside Duran Duran and Blondie, as well as guest
appearances on stage singing with the Jesus and Mary Chain, have allowed her voice to reach far beyond the darkwave and EBM corners from which she sprung.

Under her solo moniker Zanias has released an EP and four full-length
LPs, all to underground critical acclaim. Her most recent album, 2024’s
‘Ecdysis’, was praised as “rich in atmosphere and hugely evocative”
when Louder Than War proclaimed it ‘Album of the Week’ upon its
release on Fleisch and Metropolis Records.

With her new alias and its self-titled debut EP ‘Serpentskin’, Zanias
seeks to express the side of herself that feels just as at home in the DJ
booth as on stage with a microphone. Fusing her love of wave and
hyperpop with the structures and textures of trance, she deftly carves a
new niche in dance music with her signature vocals and a taste for
euphoric and evocative melodies.

Serpentskin’s debut EP will be released on Fleisch Records on the 10th
of March, 2025. Vinyl + Digital.

Amplify Series 117 - Serpentskin

*BCCO PRIDE 2025"

Queer rights are being rolled back—from book bans in the US to Pride bans in Hungary and anti-trans laws in the UK— it’s never been more urgent to be LOUD in our support. Show your support by reposting this set on SoundCloud, it’s just one click.

For Week 2 of our 5 weeks of Pride colabs, we are in London, UK with FEEL IT the party co‑produced by legendary queer collective Little Gay Brother and the iconic drag DJ‑producer Jodie Harsh. Wrapping up their week is artist J. Aria.

J. Aria is a UK-based DJ, producer, composer and vocalist. A resident at Adonis and Dalston Superstore, they’ve become a key name in the international queer underground with their blend of house balladry and camp-acid theatrics. Their genre-blurring sound pulls soul, romance and fierceness from across the dance spectrum, with releases on Nervous Records and Adonis Records.

This mix is a sweat-heavy, percussive ride recorded in one take. It’s a workout in groove, soul and sex—navigating genres to tap into that feeling of intensity and surprise. It’s made with the dancers in mind—for the moments that make them feel sexy. It’s for the girls.

BCCO Mix Series 633: J.Aria | BCCO x FEEL IT for PRIDE 2025

Pre-order: https://ffm.to/dgtl050

With a pair of deeply personal, emotionally charged tracks, Kyiv-born, Berlin-based DJ and producer @aalinkaa makes a powerful debut on @dgtl-festival with 'Heaven Knows / Always On Time'.

Built around a rolling bassline and hypnotic, oscillating vocal loops, 'Always On Time' is a late-night heater designed to reconnect you with the present. “The title means you’re exactly where you’re meant to be at this moment, you’re always on time,” she says. “It’s a reminder to be present, to enjoy the moment, and to always be grateful for where you’re at.”

Premiere: Alinka 'Always On Time'

Tom left Wh0 over six months ago. This marks his official return under a new alias, ZERO TO ONE.

The first single from his debut album begins a story told one release at a time, shaped around the twelve stages of grief. STILL captures that initial feeling: numbness. The silence after chaos.

Tom is a Grammy-nominated artist who has remixed acts like The Prodigy, Diplo, Vintage Culture and Calvin Harris, and collaborated with names including Armand Van Helden, Example, Nile Rodgers and Steve Angello.

This is Stage One.

Various Artists - 5 Urte [NGM027]

We're stoked to present our next premiere from one of our favorite labels, Poland-based @psylocybinapl. Fresh to the label is channel friend out of Australia @cnxr_music, presenting a fabulous rhythmic deep techno track 'Cave of Divinity '. Equipped with haunting vocals and gritty low ends, this percussive piece effortlessly fits the signature sounds of @psylocybinapl's shamanistic techno brand.

"Fungal Communion" is a sonic exploration of collective rituals, altered states, and the invisible intelligence of nature. Inspired by the underground networks of mycelium—nature’s original internet—this compilation is an expression of sounds that feel alive, connected, and primordial.
As mushrooms emerge after rainfall in sacred silence, this project honors those unseen forces that guide growth, transformation, and unity. Think of it as a ceremonial gathering through sound — a return to the dancefloor as one tribe, guided by rhythm, pulse, and deep organic textures.

This compilation gathers artists from Europe, Australia, and India exploring different techno territories. From slow-paced breakbeats to more functional 4-to-the-floor cuts, each track shares organic aesthetic and tribal energy. 

Artists: Various Artists
Title: Fungal Communion
Label: Psylocybina
