Techno Rave - Part 1

The Mohs hardness scale is a qualitative scale that ranks minerals based on their ability to scratch or be scratched by another mineral. It ranges from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). As such, tracks get harder as the series progresses.

Amelie Lens once again joins forces with rising French producer AIROD for an electrifying 4-track techno expedition in ‘Raver’s Heart EP’. 

Following their first collaboration on ‘Adrenaline’ for Amelie’s Exhale Records compilation late last year, Belgium’s techno luminary and French dynamo AIROD will release the EP on Amelie's Lenske Records. 

After their first collab held the top spot in the Beatport charts for weeks after release, it’s clear that Amelie & AIROD's productions are the outcome of a powerful synergy between two of techno's finest producers.

LATEST RELEASE The Dark Minimal EP

HIGHLIGHT Track, Dark & Dirty Beats, played by Joris Voorn live at Awakenings New Year's Eve 22/23, Gashouder, Amsterdam.

ALBUMS Movement (2019) Light (2020/21) Space (2021) Dark Minimal Constructs (2023)

Currently releasing tracks for The Minimal, Melodic, Hypnotic, Industrial & Hard Series.

BACKGROUND Hegstraction grew up in the 80s & 90s heavily influenced by the emergent electronic music in Amiga, Nintendo & PlayStation video games & the movie soundtracks by electronic music pioneers Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis & Kraftwerk. Recent influences from German techno DJ/producers Felix Krocher & Stephan Bodzin.

INSPIRATION His inspiration differs from most artists as it comes from the dance floor where he is most at home. From over 20 years experiencing DJ sets worldwide throughout Europe, Asia, South & North America, his ideas have been shaped.

METHODOLOGY He approaches each track as a mini set, building up slowly, using level changes, sounds that stimulate & energize, following Skeletalism (using closely related sounds) & Massification (layering sounds over time) methods.
