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.

Premiere: Lag - Katran (Extended Edit)

"Larvae" 
Beneath the surface, in damp, breathless silence, life begins without shape or sound. Larvae—motionless, waiting—pulse with something ancient. Unseen. Unnamed. 

They dream in rhythms. Of movement. Of change. Of breaking through. 

Time distorts underground. Flesh twists slowly, endlessly. Transformation is not sudden—it is ritual. Repetition. Pressure. A low-frequency evolution. 

And when the shell finally cracks, there is no glory. Only emergence. A new form, born from noise and decay, rising in endless loops.

Knife presenta Cervello Elettronico, el "cerebro eléctrico" hijo del productor industrial techno David Christian.
Su sonido único está profundamente arraigado en la música basada en samples y ha explorado diferentes influencias a lo largo de los años, como EBM, Rhythmic Noise y, más recientemente, Dark Minimal Techno.
El inicio del proyecto en 2001 contribuyó a una nueva escena industrial underground que se estaba gestando en la ciudad de Nueva York.
Después de mudarse a la costa oeste, Cervello Elettronico ahora mantiene una residencia mensual de DJ en The Lash en el centro de Los Ángeles. Crunch Pod, Rustblade, Industrial Strength y el sello experimental alemán HANDS han lanzado varios lanzamientos muy elogiados.
Más recientemente, un nuevo EP (No Sides) apareció en el sello independiente de David Christian Squarewav.

~ The Intrinsic Nature, a source, a manuscript of codes. 

The essence of living beings; it takes some time to grasp its marvel. 
You can find it in everything that exists and you can also find it in nothing.
Fundamental order of all the things, such as matter. A particle —-
essentially everything that existed, exists and will exist. Also the void, home of nothing.

Because to be, to evolve or to exist in unpolluted way; equipped with a DNA-narrative, from a pre-mutated space dust particle, the seed of all existence, the mega-source —- The Universe. Form and matter architect, total collector of energies, the reason for life and decay.

'Harmony in Chaos' in infinitum and always in tandem. The two mega-forces working on par. Without any hate but not in love. Their parasitic symbiosis is neither an ebb nor a flow. The existence of dust particles in space and time —- mutating, evolving.

It is of an utter importance to once again tune in and observe the nature which radiates from within us. From the very fabric of our close surroundings, and from afar, far beyond the abyss ~

Concept and words by Polanski
~ The Intrinsic Nature, a source, a manuscript of codes. 
The essence of living beings; it takes some time to grasp its marvel. 
You can find it in everything that exists and you can also find it in nothing.
Fundamental order of all the things, such as matter. A particle —-
essentially everything that existed, exists and will exist. Also the
void, home of nothing.

Because to be, to evolve or to exist in unpolluted way; equipped with a
DNA-narrative, from a pre-mutated space dust particle, the seed of
all existence, the mega-source —- The Universe. Form and matter architect,
total collector of energies, the reason for life and decay.

'Harmony in Chaos' in infinitum and always in tandem. The two mega-forces
working on par. Without any hate but not in love. Their parasitic symbiosis
is neither an ebb nor a flow. The existence of dust particles
in space and time —- mutating, evolving.

It is of an utter importance to once again tune in and observe the nature
which radiates from within us. From the very fabric of our close
surroundings, and from afar, far beyond the abyss ~
