As the next guest on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we are excited to present: Vel

 Vel is a Moroccan artist, part of the infamous Mama Loves Ya agency, serves us with a continuous flow of basselines to narrate a mental and pulsing trip, for this 92nd edition of the podcast.  

From her base in Lyon and as a resident of Le Secure, her mix of psychedelic and techno sets has quickly earned her a place among the most interesting emerging artists on the techno scene.

MelodicTechno - HardTechno - House - Techno tout court en fait

Techno DJ based in Belgrade, originally hailing from Montenegro.

Purveyor of galloping, hard hitting, purely floor dedicated techno.

His style is  defined by abundant music collection, and boosted by obsessive search for more. The “X” is an abbreviation of ‘excavator’, which is an homage to the relentless track excavation ritual, that led him through deepest tunnels and caves of the Internet, over the course of 5 years. His meticulously curated track archive is ever-expanding, and ranging from 90s hard house and trance, ebm/industrial, tribal/hardgroove, and then back to the future and cutting-edge, hyper-energetic fast techno wave. Nurturing a deep passion for movies and soundtracks, while storing a huge chunk of turbo-folk discography in a distant corner of his brain, he experiments with unimaginable polymerizations, purposely poisoning his mixes, in an effort to create so called “mutant techno”.

In 2018, his 'baptism by fire' took place in Drugstore, the notorious Belgrade 'techno cathedral', which for him meant a long awaited bucket list achievement.

Dooban X is one of the founders of Kolektiv Base, a music collective from Belgrade, assembled by five DJs, producers and obsessive music enthusiasts. Sharing the same passion, but different background and experience, Kolektiv has been growing in the public eye through series of private after-hour events, taking place in their studio;  and  ‘secret location’ underground parties, scattered around hidden and unconventional locations.

Next event: Oct5, 2024 - Fast Forward x TILT @ Den Anden Side

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 on 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 focus on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia are not tolerated.

After the first year of activities, numerous collabs and the establishment of close relationships with like-minded crews all over Europe, we decided to establish ourselves as an agency working with some of the scene´s core members - both DJs and live acts. In doing this we work both as a traditional agency and as a promotional platform for each artist’s creative output.
