Kosta Athanassiadis, known professionally as XDB, has grown a well-respected career through a slew of fantastic releases on well admired labels for the past 15 years. Of Greek descent but born and raised in Germany, Kosta has the background and experience to be a trusted figure whether making music or chosing music as a dj. 

Having worked in record stores and radio while fine tuning his djing skills thru the 1990s, a new creative seed grew - Kosta started to make his own productions. This led to starting up his own label named Metrolux in 2006 where his music was featured front and center. Quality over quantity was a must for the output of the label and his own release schedule. His debut ‘Jackintosh EP’ and the following ‘Descap EP’ made quite the impression for those that heard them. From there, he's been popping up on some of the most praised labels in electronic music such as Sistrum, Harbour City Sorrow, Echocord, Ferox as well as Francois Kevorkian's legendary Wave Music label. 

His music has been described as post-Detroit but firmly european made and devoid of any one genre. A cornicopia of influences that help Kosta's music stand out in a very competitive field. As a remixer, his credits list is long and impressive. This demand from his peers is perhaps the best example that validates his talent. 2020 was a landmark year for Kosta which saw his first full length album that led to rave reviews worldwide. Personality wise, Kosta is low-key letting his music do the talking. His integrity never in doubt and love for electronic music is clear. Keeping his ear to the ground while enjoying his vast vinyl collection. For listeners, it is a true treat hearing Kosta elect tracks for the occasion when he is the dj. Technically and creatively, one of the best whose name is constantly in demand for sets and new music. Whether making new music, remixing or djing, Kosta Athanassiadiska aka XDB is one to follow.

The next chapter of the biotechnology podcast belongs to an exceptional representative of the contemporary deep techno scene, hailing from Italy - @saveyouratollofficial

@Thegodsplanet ,  @Oslated , and @Dosis-records are just some of the labels under which the talented producer has released. Techno with its characteristic depth, in which ambient and atmospheric textures function in symbiosis with dance grooves, is a hallmark of both his productions and DJ sets, which we highly appreciate. We are excited to present Save your Atoll's vision, as part of the Biotechnology podcast, and invite you to a unique deep techno trip following from the depths to escalating energy.

With end of year lists slowly starting to trickle out, there's one track in particular we find that's absent from some of the bigger sites, despite having what could be considered a decent summer. Championed by both Joy Orbison and Scuba in each of their respected Essential mixes, snippets of new untitled Endian teased the notion that a follow up to his Electric Minds and NonPlus releases would be forthcoming in the near future. Having debuted on the Radio 1 airwaves in July 2014, it wasn't till early May 2015 that the track got a name and a confirmed release date on London based label Secretsundaze. Titled 'Finish Me' the track, would go on to become one of our favourite summer anthems (as mentioned here) and acquire a near-omnipresent status in clubs and at festivals up and down the country over the summer period, while still remaining in some way an underground sleeper-hit. We'd like to think the nod to his roots, and other revered alias, struck a chord or possibly two with all the jungle enthusiasts out there, as well as appealing to the house and techno crowd. While the A side explored more club-friendly territory with its melodic aspects and billowing breakdown, the B side's "Dusty" and "Sub Tropics" provided a much more rooted warehouse affair; taking his technical skill and experience as Commix and and channeling it into the confines of 130BPM. His use of subtle melodies and pads, reminiscent of 90s jungle/drum and bass LPs have made for well received tracks like "Birdhouse" and "Two Chords Deep", the latter being one of his early attempts at using a proper hardware setup to explore his techno and house productions, and arguably still one of his best tracks.
