It constantly emerges into the horrific and ritualistic soundscape of cryptic techno, of ancient tribal images, and of industrial dystopian visions, all melancholy is then shattered for having embraced evilness.

The Fifth Stigma is an industrial and esoteric project, exploring the realms of history and wonders from forgotten eras through music.

At the opposite direction of contemporary techno, The Fifth Stigma aims to craft a slow, heavy and raw metallic techno, influenced by history, emotions and obscure world music, driven by a blend of several genres in times where everything seems to go faster, look alike and tends to be too easily accessible and instantly consumed. 

Production wise, he forges intimate pieces, creating sonic atmospheres filled with fantastical imagery, conjured by the artist's imagination, which have a compellingly oneiric quality, whilst always exploring new sounds from different horizons, from liturgical to techno, from noise to punk electronics.
 He recently joined as resident DJ Los Angeles’ illustrious warehouse raves curator Dirty Epic, the collective behind the Compound series and Re/Form festival. 
 The Fifth Stigma’s selections flourishes of meticulously sorted dance-floor tracks ranging from techno to EBM to less known sub-genres, journeying across the wide scope of electronic music.

SARIN is a Berlin based audio/visual and electronic music performance project with over a dozen releases over the last few years spanning vinyl, cassette & digital formats. 

These releases have been put out by labels such as Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, BITE,  B.F.E, Khemia, and his own X-IMG platform among others. 

His sound can be described as a blend of abrasive drum programming paired with minimal and catchy bass lines layered with dystopian cut-up style sampling of media detritus and the occasional vocal elements. Combined with his visual aesthetics of appropriation & degradation the project summons spirits of 80s industrial sounds & culture from which he draws much of his inspiration from and channels them into a syncopated dance of destruction.

The concept of "Amniotic Dissolve of Spirit" serves as a metaphorical exploration, encapsulating the multifaceted journey of the human psyche in its infancy when confronted with external stimuli, drawing an organic parallel between Mind and Womb.


The process initiates a Hegelian state where thesis clashes with its antithetical counterpart, leading to symbiosis and synthesis. It reveals an inner dialogue that encompasses the intricate liminal spaces of the human mind tapestry thus protecting it and making it more resilient.

Abhorrence arises when exposed to cognitive dissonance and layers of new information, in order to reduce entropy brain fog is triggered. 

Amniotic dissolution occurs as a process of integration taking root in the phenomenological mind womb space, going full circle and returning to its core essence.

[ NZM99 ]

NZM99 is a project that seems to have risen from the depths of the 90s rave scene, most notably of the early Frankfurt and Belgian tradition. 

Like few others, NZM99 knows how to revive those dark rolling bass walls of that time and pair them with fresh EBM arpeggios. 
The legacy of French legends such as Terence Fixmer, The Hacker or David Caretta is just as unmistakable as his inspiration from vintage equipment, but NZM99’s music is always informed - but never backward-looking. 

As a result, labels such as RAVE or DIE , KHOINIX and PERSEPHONIC SIRENS, quickly became aware of this unmistakable sound and were delighted with releases. NZM99 also runs his own label Tjalk Records, a heartfelt homage to the houseboat in Lyon he resides on. 

His powerful DJ and live sets have brought NZM99 to international stages as an ambassador for the non-carnivalesque rave revival.
