Melchiorr & Nepōmuk are two rising artists from Munich’s techno scene who, at just 19 and 20 years old, are already making a name for themselves with their label „Dys Records“.
They are providing a platform for talented artists and create spaces where people can unfold freely and enjoy propper techno & house.
It’s meant to be a space for their distinct musical identity and the intimate, community driven vibe that surrounds it.

Their sound is best described as hypnotic and driving, often laced with psy influenced elements that create a deep, engaging atmosphere. Rather than overwhelming the listener, their sets unfold gradually, characterized by a subtle flow that gives each individual element the space it needs to evolve and resonate.

Nazz made her debut at Tresor Berlin 16.07.2025. She was able to open the hall with fantastic artists and an massive atmosphere that no one had ever expected. She was invited by the lovely crew of Grab The Groove, they had the confidence in her to be in the right place on the line up. 
She will never forget how her buddy roman said after 1h "hey look up", she then briefly interrupted her concentration and recognized a lot of people silhouettes and realized the club is packed. 
The energy was very strong.

We’re thrilled to share that Tzunamicast 004 with Armando is now live on SoundCloud.

Get ready for a deep dive into the raw energy of club culture and the hypnotic pulse of electronic music. In this episode, we explore Armando’s journey through the European underground, his vision of music as a space for connection, and the personal roots behind his high-intensity sound.

In the mid-2000s, his passion shifted toward club culture and electronic music. Drawn not to a single genre but to the feeling of community, freedom, and self-expression, he immersed himself in the scene across Italy and Europe.
Exploring styles from Minimal to Techno, he began recording mixtapes before stepping behind the decks, playing venues like Amelia, Masada, and Silicone Club.
His sound blends relentless grooves, deep basslines, and sharp kicks into immersive, high-energy sets that reflect the belonging he found in club culture.
In 2025, he founded SLATE, a collective focused on music, connection, and creativity. A space for sharing ideas, experiences, and building bridges between local and international scenes.
He has shared the stage with artists such as Annē, Amanda Mussi, Quelza, Hertz Collision, Radical Softness, Lea Occhi, Laura Van Hal, Neux, Delano Legito, and Beau Didier.



WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY IN THIS EPISODE TO ASK ARMANDO A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TECHNO SCENE.
QUESTIONS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO US, THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE: TO SPARK GENUINE REFLECTION AND HELP BUILD A BROADER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THIS CULTURE REPRESENTS TODAY.



DO YOU THINK THE TECHNO SCENE HAS SHIFTED MORE TOWARDS BUSINESS THAN CULTURE, ESPECIALLY WITH SOME PAGES CHARGING UP TO 200 EUROS FOR A POST OR A SOUNDCLOUD PROMOTION? 

“GOOD QUESTION, IT’S HARD TO GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER. THERE ARE TOO MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN GENERAL, LIKE THE TYPE OF PLATFORM, WHAT IT OFFERS, THE COSTS BEHIND IT… IN GENERAL, AN ARTIST CAN CHOOSE HOW TO PROMOTE THEMSELVES OR THEIR MUSIC.”



HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA MADE TECHNO LESS UNDERGROUND, OR HAVE THEY SIMPLY TRANSFORMED IT INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT? 

“THAT’S DEFINITELY A HOT TOPIC AND A TOUGH ONE FOR ME. I DIDN’T GROW UP WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS I STILL FIND THEM PRETTY CHALLENGING. THAT SAID, I DO SEE HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TODAY. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEM, BECAUSE THEY’RE A POWERFUL AND UNAVOIDABLE WAY TO COMMUNICATE. IN THE END, IT’S UP TO US TO CHOOSE HOW WE USE THEM AND WHAT MESSAGE WE WANT TO SHARE.”



CAN YOU EASILY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTISTS WHO MAKE MUSIC OUT OF PASSION AND THOSE WHO ARE JUST FOLLOWING TRENDS IN THE TECHNO SCENE?

“THIS QUESTION FEELS PARTLY CONNECTED TO THE PREVIOUS ONE. OFTEN, WE RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO UNDERSTAND OR GET TO KNOW AN ARTIST, AND WE FORGET HOW IMPORTANT HUMAN CONNECTION IS BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. THIS INDUSTRY MOVES FAST, THE WORLD MOVES FAST, AND MAYBE THAT’S WHY MORE CULTURALLY FOCUSED SPACES ARE NECESSARY, PLACES WHERE WE CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF DIALOGUE.”


Wish you all a wavy ride, TZUNAMI.
