DJ Sets

Studio mix in preparation for my extended opening set at Rocket Club in Milan on the occasion of the VOID x D.P.T.H. label showcase party on 10th October 2024.

I started with a selection of organic ambient techno, moving to more groovy, melanchonic melodic and acid tracks. Then, I played some house-influenced techno tracks before going to a progressive section of my set. Toward the final thirty minutes, I switched to a higher-energy selection of peak-time techno tracks with a common theme of melodic, deep elements, obscure vocals, and a balance between dark and light moods.

Void x D.P.T.H. Studio Mix - HydraTek Opening Set 10/10/24

I prepared this set for an event in a Techno club in Milan, where I've been a resident DJ for more than one year now. This was a warmup set, so I wanted to explore more cinematic stuff in the first half, setting the vibe and a mysterious and dark landscape for people to dive into. In the middle of the set, I played some melancholic, melodic/progressive tracks, a nostalgic call to a couple of my favorite Drumcode past releases. Moving on, I gradually increased the energy, preparing for the peak-time set. Overall, I tried to use harmonic mixing to help glue the tracks as part of a whole narrative.

BCCO Set Submission

Thanks for being here: 

With his debut release, he officially joins the Purple Desert Family! I asked him to record a set that truly represents 'HydraTek', and here it is. I want to take a moment to thank HydraTek for the incredible effort he’s putting into sharing his debut release with the world. Huge respect for that, my dude—it’s genuinely appreciated! 🙌

With his debut release he is now member of the Purple Desert Family. I have asked him to record a set which represents 'HydraTek' and here we are. I want to thank HydraTek for the effort he puts in pushing his debut release to the world. Many thanks for that dude and it is really much appreciated.

'HydraTek' is the name that summarizes my artistic vision: 'Hydra' recalls the mythology and is epitomized by an aggressive, distinctive sound that's become my signature in both sound design projects and electronic music productions;

'Tek' is about my continuous research for high-tech and futuristic sonic explorations, trying to push electronic music forward to explore new frontiers.
The different 'heads' of the hydra are a metaphor for my eclecticism.
The two polarities in the name can sometimes be found in a harsh contrast between delicate, emotive melodies and twisted, abrasive basslines.
With a strong influence and passion for modern film soundtracks, I strive to provide a concept and storytelling inside my music, even inside club-oriented tracks.
My sound is dark cinematic techno, in which I like to insert melodic, emotional, deep and a hint of brighter elements.

Sound Designer, Sound Engineer, and Eclectic Electronic Music DJ/Producer from Italy. 

My main focus as an artist is what I like to call 'Cinematic Bass Music,' a mix of influences from deep, dark cinematic soundtracks and heavy underground bass music, with special attention on sound design and sonic explorations.

HydraTek is the name that summarizes my artistic vision:
'Hydra' recalls the mythology and is epitomized by an aggressive, distinctive sound that’s become my signature in both sound design projects and electronic music productions;
’Tek’ is about my continuous research for high-tech and futuristic sonic explorations, trying to push
electronic music forward to explore new frontiers.

The different 'heads' of the hydra are a metaphor for my eclecticism. The two polarities in the name can sometimes be found in a harsh contrast between delicate, emotive melodies and twisted, abrasive basslines.

With a strong influence and passion for modern film soundtracks, I strive to provide a concept and storytelling inside my music, even inside club-oriented tracks.

My current production style involves a combination of Dark Techno with a distinct cinematic influence, in which I like to insert melodic, emotional, deep, and a hint of brighter elements.
