Dirty Epic welcomes the Serbian artist @lag for the fifth episode of our Amplify Series podcast.

A promoter of the underground culture, a DJ and a respected producer - Serbian-born Lag is the on the forefront of the new wave of techno artists.

It is easy to notice from his sound that he did not take the usual route on his musical journey. He grew up on punk, acquired a classical education in music and then quit it all to find himself enchanted by the possibilities of expressing oneself both through DJing and making electronic music. He chose techno to be the host for his creative discharge, while always incorporating a certain dosage of his previous musical life to his current work. Grit, rhythm and attitude are his main tools as he blends them into his music, creating a potent combination which enchants, moves and unifies.

Lag’s DJ performances on the Exit festival’s main DJ stage, and the legendary Tresor club speak volumes of his ability to engage his crowd, and offer an intense sonic experience. Through his DJ sets, as well as through workshops and events he organized and promoted under the umbrella of his organization 29524, Lag put efforts into closing the gap between the “good” and the “known”. Since then his promotional activities have reduced, and his focus moved to delivering extremely functional DJ sets, but also on creating and releasing original music, mostly in the techno genre. After several appearances and releases, predominantly on the Serbian label Teskoba, his remix of Grovskopa’s “Atopic” is released on vinyl by Sect Records. He follows it up with his first EP named “Stutter”, a highly acclaimed release which came out on the notoriously uncompromising Singularity Recordings, and his latest outputs, 12” releases on MORD Records named “Misfit EP” and "Fiend EP", underline the quality and uniqueness of his already recognizable sound.

Lag is set to stay on his current path as his mission, his initial vision, is yet to flicker. His ruthless determination is awe inspiring, and is, along with his musical prowess, the main reason for his rising popularity. Lag is definitely someone to keep an eye on, but more importantly - someone to listen to. After all, as he frequently states, “it’s all about the music”.

Graftak is best known as a resident DJ of the infamous Antwerp Drag Me to Hell parties. He has been luring audiences throughout Europe into a carnal vortex of darkwave & electro, EBM & hard techno.  As one of the founders of Club Solitaire he thought it was time to take matters into his own hands to bring some gloominess back to the Belgian nightlife. It’s time to get out your dancing shoes & mourning veil.

@institut-fuer-zukunft showcase w/ @orpemzo273j9.

There has been a close connection between Eigenrausch and electronic music for ages. Growing up with the raw sound of local techno scenes in east Germany brought her close to  industrial aesthetics, which are still reflected in her sets today. When she moved to Leipzig, she continued developing her sound alongside her constant interest in producing techno and now plays sets that she describes as "driven, with dark gloomy aesthetics and raw undertones".

ARMA PODCAST 018: Etapp Kyle @ RTS.FM B*Day

Alessandro Adriani has been championing unusual and unknown synth wave and industrial sounds for a decade now. The Berlin based Italian has done so on his Mannequin Records label as well as on Pinkman and Jealous God and at his bi-monthly party at Säule/Berghain. An inquisitive mind and avid collector whose taste ranges from jazz to Italo to disco, he is a real treasure trove of musical knowledge, as are his DJ sets. 

There’s a real sense of discovery to the mix he has laid down for us. It’s filled with chilly synths and industrial textures that are sometimes manic and wild, at others stripped back and haunting. There’s also twisted techno and macho disco, all stitched together with a sense of style that manages to sounds as much from the 80s as it does some unknown future. Adriani’s world is a timeless world, then, but one you’ll be compelled to return to over and over again.
