[RELEASES] TRAX:

[OPENING] REC:

After some long hours in the studio, I present here my first self release.

The title of the track resembles for me the world where we live in today. I personally find it sometimes hard to focus on the things I love doing, for instance music. I get easily distracted by phone, socials and lots of other stuff. Therefore we live in A World Full Of Distractions.

Mastering: @alen-milivojevic

Ps. thanks @decadancetechno for the personal advice

LENZ I OPENING SET @ BASIS UTRECHT I 2023

I wanted to emphasize how many talented producers we have in our little country. In the last months, I took the time to find new inspiration, and I found this by rediscovering the techno that I grew up with: more slow-paced and focused on atmosphere instead of big drops. 

Combining this with my vision of driving techno and a bit of flavor from the modern hard groove resulted in the following mix. 

Enjoy a continuous drive in the following 67 minutes.

Lenz - Filtrum Series 014

Lenz’ zijn passie voor techno vloeit voort uit illegale raves, deze liefde voor de undeground leidde tot de overstap van de dansvloer naar de dj-booth. Stijlistisch staat Lenz haaks op de huidige technotrends, waarbij hij de nadruk legt op hypnotiserende patronen en donkere sferen. Zijn stijl van driving techno heeft hem tot een vaste waarde in heel Nederland gemaakt, waarbij hij zijn voeten heeft gezet in clubs zoals Paradiso, Club Atelier & Club Basis.

Zijn trackselectie behoudt een sterke invloed aan de klassieke jaren van techno, waarbij hij veel invloed haalt uit tijdperk van de jaren 2010 - 2019. Het stapelen van meerdere lagen van driving grooves is zijn handelsmerk, waarbij hij een percussieve overload presenteert die de danser in een andere dimensie zuigt.

Naast het draaien, is Lenz ook mede-oprichter van het collectief De After, wat hem in staat heeft gesteld om zijn visie van de underground verder te presenteren, te beginnen met een uitverkochte editie in Club Atelier, gevolgd door meerdere edities in Club de With & Noordwaards.

ECHO Rec. Premiere | Lenz - 1935 [AFTRVA001]

Set the Mood with Lenz!

I’m excited to introduce Lenz, who made a opening set as the 45th guest in the Set the Mood series. As a DJ and co-founder of the collective De After, he’s created a platform to express his vision of the underground. His passion for techno was born on the dancefloors of illegal raves, a love that naturally pulled him from the crowd into the booth. Musically, Lenz stands apart from current techno trends. He roots for hypnotic patterns, shadowy atmospheres, and relentless, percussive drive. His sound is rooted in the heavier side of early-2000s techno, and his signature style is layered, pounding, and immersive. This has made him a staple across the Netherlands, with appearances at clubs like Paradiso, Club Atelier, and Club Basis. This mix is a deep dive into that world, only as a opening set.

For Lenz, the perfect opening set walks a delicate line between dark, ambient textures and driving percussion. His aim is to draw listeners into a dreamy, almost trance-like state while still making them want to move. That’s when they hit "flow." It’s not about overwhelming energy from the start, but about a subtle progression that invites the crowd to surrender to the music. The goal? To make people dance, crave more, and still have enough fuel to last the entire night. With that in mind, he challenged himself to begin this mix as slowly and intentionally as possible, settling into a steady 130 BPM groove from the start.

90s TECHNO VINYL MIX 1

NEW SET! 🔥
I had the opportunity to record a set for @car-bonize  You can listen to it on their YouTube including visuals. Expect hard pounding kicks, dark sounds and groovy drums, just like you know me. ☠️

Link YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNA2AYM0Nt8&t=3203s

I wanted to start with "Deathwish" from @jehra1. To keep in the same atmosphere I used "Kahiri" from @gabriel_wnz. The kick is solid and I am just in love with the vocals from this track.

After half an hour it was time to speed up the pace. For this I used an old favourite of mine, I haven’t played this track in a long time, but boy oh boy what do I love the melody in this one. I’m talking about "Eating Alpha Waves" from @14anger. Definitely check him out, he is a great producer.

I also couldn’t let the opportunity pass by to support my friend @joe_sane. I played his track "We Don’t Need No Sleep". What can I say, catchy vocal and playful style of using his kicks. Check him out, he has a lot of awesome tracks. 💣

A last killer track I want to mention is "Don’t Be Scared" from @vuuduumusic. It’s spacy and rhythmic, that's why I love it. ☠️

Let me know how you like my new set. You can ask me for track IDs in the comments. Stay safe and keep on dancing!🖤

Lenz’s productive pursuit of music began when he discovered the unique lure of the underground. Illegal raves birthed his passion for techno, which eventually led to the Dutchman swapping the dancefloor for the booth as a DJ.

Stylistically, Lenz stands at odds with the current techno trends, opting to emphasise more nuanced sounds such as hypnotic patterns and dark atmospheres, whilst maintaining an energetic, high impact sound. His brand of driving, hard hitting techno has seen him become a regular throughout the entirety of the Netherlands, carving his teeth at clubs such as Paradiso, Club Atelier & Club Basis.

His track selection maintains a strong allegiance to the classic years of techno, often delving deep into the heavier releases of the 2000s era of techno. Layering multiple layers of driving, pounding grooves is his signature, presenting a percussive overload which sucks the dancer into another dimension.

Beyond DJing, Lenz is also a co-founder of the event collective De After, which has allowed him to further present his vision of the underground, starting with a sold out affair at Club Atelier, followed up with multiple editions at Club de With & Noordwaards.
