HYPNOTIC/RAW - RELEASES

Technononstop

Holden’s third release on SK_Eleven, Dust,  showcases a striking evolution of his signature dark, driving sound. Rhythms are as urgent and rooted in the dancefloor as ever, but melodies have grown more haunting and emotive. This release sees Holden charting new sonic territory with two ambient tracks to open and close the record. Opener “Dust” brings melody and harmony to the foreground to set the emotional tone for the peak-time techno tracks that follow, while the closing track, “Frost,” ends the EP on a more hopeful note, its yearning melody disappearing into the mist beyond the sunlight.

Holden Federico - Dust [SK11X025]

For Fuse’s fifth release, Brussels’ Altinbas returns for a whirlwind of meditative and harmonious techno. Solidifying his identity of focused yet vibrant club music, the Fuse resident and label co-curator offers his second contribution ‘Sustain’ as a dancefloor-enveloping take on modern techno. Known for rich chords, whipping pads, and dry percussion, Altinbas proves once again that his touch as a producer revolves around balance and calculated effect.

‘Trail of’ kick starts the EP with flourishing synthwork and a taste of dub as has become the Belgian artist’s signature. Dotting toms as rhythmic accents and a low to the ground shaker make for a swaying introduction with an infectious groove. Breaking things up in the second track, ‘Life Force’ presents Detroit style chord stabs and playful rhythmic work. With a mental synth at the foundation, the track presents 909 drums to reinvigorate atmospheric synths that make ‘Life Force’ a subtle hybrid of classic club genres. With a wink at Fuse’s heritage and a peak into its future, Altinbas’ focus on enduring music can be felt throughout ‘Sustain’ and truly understood in the Brussels club. As a fitting follow up, ‘Purpose’ opens the B-side with illuminating chords and rounded sound design and a pulsating low-end. With almost a lighthearted tone, the record fits across genres and rooms, claiming movement instead of mood as its sole medium. The title track ‘Sustain’ proves just that - a melodic sequence and progressive arrangement make for an intensely euphoric closing. Evolving melodies, opening filters, and big but calculated buildups sum up Altinbas’s work for Fuse’s fifth release on the new label. The record brims with warmth and yet it finds its way on darker dance floors with ease, providing a refined style of music that belongs only to him across the international scene.

Giuliano Rodrigues is a Brazilian DJ, producer, and label owner recognized as one of the most consistent and influential names in the global Dub Techno scene. With a career built on precision, emotion, and atmosphere, Giuliano has become a reference point for the hypnotic, immersive sound that defines the deeper side of techno.

Since 2012, he has been shaping the genre through his label Flowing Movement Music, which became one of the earliest Brazilian imprints to gain international attention within the Dub Techno and Deep Tech community. The label has released over 300 titles, serving as a platform not only for Giuliano’s music but also for dozens of underground producers worldwide.

In 2024, Giuliano consolidated his creative vision with the launch of DUBLUCID and DUBLUCIDWAVE, both distributed by Proton SoundSystem, one of the most respected distributors in electronic music. The two labels have quickly grown, amassing more than 460 releases combined, with monthly schedules reaching into 2026. Through Proton’s ecosystem, Giuliano’s catalog has reached listeners in more than 25 countries, achieving over 76,000 streams and 1,493 sales on Beatport alone in the last 12 months. His audience is strongest in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, confirming his international reach.

Giuliano’s sound spans Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic), Minimal / Deep Tech, and Ambient Experimental, styles that earned him features on Superordinate Dub Waves, Lucidflow, and Piranha Siberia Dub — alongside artists like Nae:Tek, Klartraum, and R.Hz. His collaborations with Nae:Tek have produced several charting tracks on Beatport and Traxsource, while his remix of Klartraum’s “Manifestation” surpassed 60,000 plays on Spotify. Two of his tracks were also played at Burning Man, marking a milestone in his artistic journey.

On Apple Music, Giuliano surpassed 103,000 total plays, 85,000 Shazams, and 3,100 radio spins, with audiences concentrated in Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, and London. On SoundCloud, his profile exceeds 1 million total plays, 26,000 likes, and 10,000 reposts, with top-performing cities including Kyiv, Berlin, Moscow, and São Paulo. This cross-platform consistency underscores his organic global following and deep listener engagement.

Beyond his personal releases, Giuliano curates mixes and compilations such as DUBLUCID Sessions, Dub Techno WVE, and Every Dub Movement, blending hypnotic textures and spatial depth that define his artistic identity. His work combines technical mastery with emotional resonance — a sound both meditative and powerful, crafted for true underground spaces.

Today, all of Giuliano Rodrigues’ projects converge under the DUBLUCID ecosystem — a platform that connects Flowing Movement Music, DUBLUCID, and DUBLUCIDWAVE, forming one of the most active and respected Dub Techno networks within the Proton family.

For anyone looking to explore the essence of Giuliano Rodrigues’ universe —
it’s all under DUBLUCID RECORDS.
