Amazhoss, talentueux dj et producteur parisien, se distingue par son exploration passionnée des sonorités électroniques depuis son adolescence.

Animé par une quête incessante de perfectionnement, il a consacré huit années à cultiver son amour pour la techno, tout en élargissant son horizon artistique vers des sous-genres plus variés, allant de l’organic house à la hard techno.

Sa progression artistique s'est cristallisée au fil des années, révélant un style unique et captivant, où la puissance rythmique se mêle à des moments de sérénité plus mélodiques, créant ainsi une expérience immersive pour son public. 

En 2024, son parcours l'a conduit à devenir résident chez diktat, après avoir fait ses preuves au sein du collectif unisson, où il a notamment contribué à la programmation artistique.

Loin de se reposer sur ses acquis, amazhoss continue d'affiner son univers musical, nourri par plus de six ans d'expérience et une passion inébranlable pour l'art de la musique électronique. 

Son objectif demeure inchangé : transporter son auditoire à travers des voyages sonores riches en émotions, où chaque set est méticuleusement conçu pour offrir une expérience sensorielle inoubliable.

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.
