Serbian-born DJ/Producer Lag was globe trotting from Los Angeles to Berlin, with his last pre-Covid gig at Berghain a little over a year ago. Meanwhile in quarantine, apart from discovering his newfound talent in hand modeling (as he alleges), Lag contributes to the interconnectedness of our global techno community by hosting a weekly Twitch show on his channel, CommissarLag, where he gives feedback to producers on their submitted tracks. (Simply send your tunes to: solumun.epic.set@gmail.com). 

Lag has a versatile, wide ranging warehouse sound that we love. His latest release, “Katran” (“tar” in Serbian), is a hefty dance track with a no-BS breakbeat attitude, elements of grunge, and a dirty bassline. Heavy claps set with delay give this track a sweaty feel. This nine-minute journey is filled with head-banging, punk energy whose rebounds can barely be contained. Low-frequency sounds resembling motorcycle revs haunt the track with intense drive. 

Prior to the pandemic Lag was preparing for his third US tour. Missing his sets almost as much as his jokes, Dirty Epic looks forward to welcoming Lag back to the LA underground.

PARADOX PODCAST #140 -- VEL

Texlet debuts on COMO Records with the "Layer by Layer EP", a refined showcase of precision and depth. Each track is built around tightly engineered grooves, balancing hypnotic repetition with a subtle, funky undertone.

The EP puts different styles of vocals into its minimalist framework, to effectively shape tension and movement. Despite the range of approaches across the tracklist, every piece follows a clear, cohesive direction - structured, focused, and purpose-driven.

This release unfolds with a steady progression, revealing its details gradually while maintaining a consistent pulse. A versatile set of tools, crafted with intention and a strong sense of identity.

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we have Lydo! (@lydole)

Lydo is a DJ based in New York City known for her party, X-TRA.SERVICES. Her distinctive, fast-paced, techno and trance-focused sound are deeply personal. For this mix, Lydo serves her characteristically energetic, and hard-hitting beats as the foundation to an intergalactic battle rife with obstacles that are eventually overcome, before another one hits, and then another. This mix is about making resolutions and learning something new about yourself at every turn. 

Lydo has played at Säule, Boiler Room, Fourth World, as well as parties in Mexico City, Copenhagen, and New York.

Enjoy!

funky techno in the  dark environment of Unpolished

Forkowski 07032020 ROOM4 Unpolished

@absl, DJ producer, based in Paris.

1/ Who are you ? What do you do?
 I’m Timothée aka ABSL, electronic music producer, DJ and jobless since the Covid ahah

2/ Dream collaboration?
Wow, Blawan I guess, but there are many others. 

3/  Which track best represents your music?
All! I really try to make different songs every time, so only one can't represent my work I think. Otherwise, from another artist I would say "Blacksun - Buscamanta" : martial and mechanical.

4/ If you were a movie character, who would you like to be?
Mildred Hayes in ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ by Martin McDonagh I think, a woman with a crazy character and a courage that I admire a lot.

5/ Your podcast in one word? Sweaty

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.
