For No.70 we turn to Amsterdam-based DJ/producer Keith Carnal. With various EP's released on the ARTS collective label, he quickly gained momentum, playing for various festival and Awakenings together with Shlømo during ADE. Now, he focussed his attention to his own label Second Degree (SEC ND°), where he released his first album that's showing his passion for music outside of the 4x4 techno box. In the Netherlands, it's the king birthday, and he's celebrating it was 90 minutes of full-throttle groove.

Set Report AMFM 327

There is so much to say about Stereo in Montreal. But I guess in order to really understand this club that opens at 2 am, serves no alcohol and closes at some point next day, you have to go and experience it, especially that incredible custom made sound system. This place is all about sound and dance. This is the third hour of the recording of a night in February 2018, when I played kind of a 6h set, so expect the next few shows to be all about Stereo... I cannot wait to be back… hope you enjoy the show.

Paula Temple at Tresor Berlin (Female:Pressure #1) 27 Sept 13

A.Paul nació en Lisboa, Portugal en noviembre de 1971, y su carrera comenzó en 1986, aunque su primer contacto con la música lo tuvo a una muy temprana edad.

Después de los primeros años de descubrimiento musical, su talento comenzó a florecer a los 13 años, a pesar de vivir en un país donde solo un pequeño porcentaje de personas escucharía música dance, siempre supo que estos ritmos contagiosos estarían en su camino. Después de comprar sus primeros decks y mesa de mezclas, incluyendo un par de años de práctica en el dormitorio, él mismo organizó algunas fiestas y luego adquirió sus primeras residencias en clubes, de la mano de J.Daniel, quien fue uno de los DJ portugueses más respetados en los años 90 Era el propietario de Question of Time Records, una tienda de discos y sello discográfico de vanguardia, donde A.Paul más tarde lanzaría su primer disco, "Juice", una obra maestra notable que fue tocada por muchos de los mejores DJ de todo el mundo y licenciada para varios sellos y compilaciones. También fue invitado a formar parte del proyecto Climacz, el primer club after-hours de Portugal, que supuso uno de los primeros hitos de su carrera. El espíritu asombroso que este lugar trajo a la escena portuguesa todavía es recordado con gran alegría y nostalgia por el mismo A.Paul.

En algún momento sintió la necesidad de seguir adelante y buscar nuevos desafíos. En 1996 pasó a formar parte del proyecto Illegal Records como techno import manager, fue invitado a ser residente del mejor club del momento Kremlin, y posteriormente fundó sus primeros sellos, Squeeze Records y Onh.Cet, que fueron dos proyectos relevantes. eso ayudó a definir y pulir su sonido. Para entonces también ya jugaba bastante como freelance, en un mercado en crecimiento. Portugal estaba en su apogeo, en términos de popularidad de la música electrónica y A.Paul tocaba en un punto cada fin de semana en diferentes partes del país. Era inevitable que decidiera quedarse con esta opción para su carrera, en lugar de ser residente en un club, donde estaría más limitado en términos de gusto musical.

En 1997 se une al X-Club, la agencia de DJ y organizadora de fiestas más importante de Portugal. Todos los mejores gatos firmaron con X-Club, al igual que A.Paul, primero como artista secundario y luego también como parte de los mejores artistas de la agencia. Este período fue muy importante para A.Paul, y su crecimiento fue notable, porque tuvo la oportunidad de conocer y tocar con los principales artistas de techno y house del mundo. Otros proyectos desarrollados por A.Paul en ese momento incluyen ingeniería de sonido, periodismo y también diseño gráfico y web, actividades que también cobrarían importancia en sus próximos proyectos.

A.Paul fue votado como el mejor DJ techno portugués en 2000, 2001 y 2002 por los lectores de Dance Club, el principal medio de comunicación de música electrónica en Portugal. A.Paul nunca ha dejado de invertir y apoyar a la comunidad de música electrónica, particularmente en techno. Es entonces cuando A.Paul decide comenzar a explorar el mercado internacional, debido a los cambios en la escena portuguesa.

Su sonido, gusto y técnica únicos le otorgaron una posición en algunos de los mejores megaeventos como; Awakenings, Chateau Techno, TGV (Países Bajos), Evolve (Canadá), Nature One, Syndicate, Ruhr in Love (Alemania), Rock in Rio (Portugal), Technolandia (Portugal), Aquasella, (España), Liberty White (Bélgica) ), Decibel (Holanda), Global Vision Festival (Francia) y Apokalypsa (República Checa).
A.Paul ha sacudido algunos de los mejores clubes como; Tresor, U60311, Lehmann (Alemania), Sullivan Room (EE. UU.), Fabrik, Makumba, Row 14, Moog, Industrial Copera (España), Perron, Panamá, Poema (Países Bajos), Locomia, Rocks, Kremlin, Pacha (Portugal) , Qube (Italia), Inox Club (Francia) y muchos más.

A.Paul ha lanzado más de 100 discos de vinilo, varios CD recopilatorios mixtos.

The Techno Files | 004

Exemplifying elevated emotional standards, this individual is profoundly passionate about the art that initially sparked their enthusiasm for technology and the exploration of their more enigmatic inclinations. Their goal is to articulate a vision wherein sound waves resonate within the hearts of those who partake in the experience, creating vibrations akin to a pendulum’s sway.
In their musical endeavors, they seek to craft a composition that resonates with everyone, ensuring that all can immerse themselves in its rhythmic allure. This, in turn, conveys the message that each person’s journey can serve as an emancipation from the monotony of routine, allowing them to synchronize with the beat and attain that elusive abstract sensation that electronic music so aptly imparts.

Diplomatic Immunity

Lars Klein Live @ Eclips The Big One

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.
