AMK Passenger Resident following on from the best DJ in Scotland Domenic Cappello - the postman always delivers they say - certainly did on this occasion. SUBLIME. 

Allan McKenzie, aka AMK, proved once again why he’s one of Passenger’s most versatile and accomplished resident DJs. A true journeyman of the scene and master selector, he has the rare ability to warm up, close, and move fluidly through tempos in any setting. 

At the Passenger Dance Tent at the Back Doune the Rabbit Hole Festival, following the legendary Domenic Cappello was no small task but AMK didn’t just fill those big boots, he brought the whole shoe shop with him. 

His set radiated raw energy and unrelenting pressure, culminating in a breathtaking, melancholy track that at one point had myself and others in complete awe.

It was an unforgettable performance, cementing his reputation as one of the best, and we’ll be back for more at next year’s festival, 17–19 July.

Chill, Deep and Minimal w/ Mariah - 21.10.25


This DJ mix is an absolute masterclass in everything I love about A Deeper Groove.

You can hear the full weight of their 30-plus years in dance culture woven into every transition, deep electronic textures melting effortlessly into warm, soulful grooves. 

That Scotland-born, Berlin-shaped sensibility shines through loud and clear, capturing the spirit of those formative nights at places like Panorama Bar, Berghain, and all the underground corners that helped refine their sound.

What blows me away most is how naturally they move across genres, just like they always have. Hip hop foundations, acid house edges, Detroit pulse, Chicago swing, soulful uplifts, none of that single-genre nonsense. 

If it sounds good, they play it, and this mix is living proof. It feels like being transported back to 1989, wide-eyed and 17 again, discovering all the music that changes you for life.

A Deeper Groove and Passenger, It feels like a perfect fit, their depth, their musical honesty, their history, and their visionaire values aligning with everything that Passenger represents, it just makes this mix feel even more special.

You can catch them at Passenger presents {BODY LANGUAGE} at El Santo on 27th December with DJ Q.

Essential Mix 1996-09-15 - Howie B

No discussion of underground techno purism and technical DJ mastery would be complete without the mention of Dylan Drazen’s uniquely remarkable life and career, and the myriad of musical influences it has brought. Conforming to no one person, genre or entity, Dylan has fiercely charted his own path since his sonic journey began over thirty years ago.

With the outset of Drazen’s path arriving in the early 90’s at the age of 18, a crescendo would already manifest by the late 90’s when Spain took note of his visionary methods and pioneering sound during the earliest days of the Internet, and he quickly became an originating stalwart of its nationwide underground techno scene for years, putting in over a million air miles commuting from his New York base, crisscrossing the Iberian peninsula many times over, as fans couldn’t get enough of his relentlessly energetic, organic and authentic rhythms that were so novel to a generation of partygoers.

Yet at the height of all this in the mid 2000s Dylan became swept up in the worldwide poker boom and found himself at a crossroads with dual careers. Maintaining both for nearly a decade, he decided to relocate to South Florida in 2012 to take poker more seriously and music took a back seat. By 2020, Dylan’s poker talent would bring him over $1 million in cash and tournament winnings. Then the pandemic hit, the world ground to a halt and everything was reset as he noticed fans begging for his return, bringing him to yet another crossroads…

So let’s reset.

Dylan’s exposure to multiple forms of music began at the age of 16 getting his first job working at his local record store on Long Island, NY. He quickly gravitated to electronic music, heavily inspired by what New York’s FM airwaves had to offer well before the hiphop era would take over. That summer he would sneak out to NYC and into his first club experience, The Limelight, where he instantly fell in love with its debaucherous environment and DJ booth, which he vowed to get into.

By graduation in 1993 he was beyond hooked. Before heading off to college, he took that summer to intern at a few Manhattan based labels: Todd Terry’s Freeze Records, as well as Astralwerks and Instinct Records. All the while insatiably crate digging through NY’s various vinyl shops, Dylan’s teen self was already swimming in local contacts and influences.

But college awaited, and throughout his time at Boston’s Emerson College (obtaining a degree in audio engineering) he launched a weekly radio mix show called “Underground 88” on WERS 88.9 FM through 1997, working his contacts and continuing to hone his technical skills live on air. During these formative years Dylan maintained working at various vinyl shops in NY and Boston doggedly advancing his exposure to every genre imaginable, thus contributing to his encyclopedic knowledge of electronic dance music and all of the wide-ranging influences it would bring him. As a byproduct, his position enabled him to recommend tracks to and influence the taste of bedroom DJs and a myriad of luminaries alike.

Through these years, he even made good on his promise to play at The Limelight before it shuttered, as well as other infamous New York megaclubs like The Tunnel, Twilo and Save The Robots. And thanks to his stint as assistant engineer at The Looking Glass Studios where David Bowie was recording his latest album in 1997, Dylan was hired to DJ Mr. Bowie’s private 50th birthday party after his sold out birthday performance at Madison Square Garden.

But by the turn of the millennium it was off to the races and Dylan was spending more time on the road than at home, as he found himself in demand not only in Spain, but also in The Netherlands headlining the Awakenings festival three times, as well as other major events and festivals in Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Colombia, spreading his unique form of techno gospel one city at a time. 

Between journeys Dylan made the most of his audio degree by building out his own studio in Brooklyn, releasing a handful of original releases and remixes on some of America’s more influential labels of the era: François K.’s Clicktracks; Ascend; Blueline; Remains; and Ultra Records. Even after moving to South Florida in 2012, Dylan continued to work on remixes for other Spanish and European labels.

Then as Dylan began to go dark quietly diving head first into South Florida’s world of high stakes poker, he made sure to finalize the curation of his life’s work on his website and SoundCloud page, with that nagging feeling he would one day return…

That day arrived in 2021 when Dylan decided to look for work as a local DJ in Fort Lauderdale and its saturation of gay nightlife. His bimonthly residency at the legendary Ramrod helped pave his way back, growing just as comfortable in today’s booths as he did 20 years prior.

After a couple years of this and then launching The Techno Files podcast, he realized it was time for more. So in 2025 Dylan decided to relocate once again, this time to the birthplace of where it all began: Detroit.

Within his first year as Detroit resident, Dylan was already playing events for Detroit Techno Militia & Bang Tech 12, along with multiple appearances at Spot Lite, Spkrbox & TV Lounge.

New York-born, Miami-tested, now Detroit-welcomed: Dylan Drazen is primed and ready to return to the world’s electronic stage showing modern audiences how 30 years of sonic mastery, experience and musical influence can be put on brilliant display in a single set.
