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.

Alex Hertel, now also known under his alias Lexano, is a versatile DJ whose journey spans from melodic soundscapes to the raw intensity of underground techno. Starting out as Alex Hertel, he made a name for himself in the vibrant electronic scene around Mannheim, delivering hypnotic, driving, and melodic sets that captivated dancefloors in some of the region’s most iconic clubs and festivals.

Today, Alex continues to perform under both monikers. While Alex Hertel remains true to his roots in Melodic Techno and Melodic House, Lexano dives deep into the realms of Hardgroove, Hardtechno, and Hardtrance — bringing relentless energy and a darker, more intense vibe to his performances.

He’s a resident DJ at renowned event series such as Stromverschwendung, Format, and Release², and has played at respected venues and festivals including London Underground, Loft Club, Hafen 49 Festival, Pitlane Festival, Disco 2, Homebase, Basement, Zimmer, Connexion, Tanz der Bässe, Das Becken, Sonnentanz, Halle 01, and Colosseum Landau.

One of his standout moments was the release of his remix of Hans Zimmer’s Time, which gained him widespread attention and significantly expanded his reach.
