Berlin based LXM steps in for our 155th Local Selection Mix with a carefully crafted techno mix. LXM has provided a masterclass three deck mix, full of incessant loops and grooves to soundtrack your Paddy’s Eve.

Louis McElveen has been hard at work in the studio, carving out a refined techno sound since his move to Berlin. LXM has been putting a large emphasis on hardware and minimal grooves into his productions, and this is shining right through to his DJ mixes.

Formally part of Armed Response Unit with longtime friend Will Boyle, Louis has shifted his style from industrial techno to a more stripped back and classic style of techno. Taking inspiration from artists such as Kaiser, Mattrixman, Dasha Rush and more, Louis has been working tirelessly to perfect this sound but with his own unique flavour.

While LXM has been quiet on the release front, he has a four track EP dropping on a Berlin label shortly, which is absolutely fantastic and shall be a perfect introduction to his newfound sound. The young producer will also be forming a new label, that will incorporate Irish producers and producers from afar to his deep vision. LXM also recently guested for fellow Dublin producer Aero’s Alternating Vitality show on 1020 Radio and the mix is an absolute cracker.

LXM’s Four Four mix is a prime example of Louis’s dedication to his craft over the last year. Never ending grooves and loops for an hour. Louis keeps the pace up and goes between tough and deep grooves, keeping an ever constant flow that doesn’t lean too heavy to either side. This is sublime mixing and selecting from a young techno craftsman at work.

Stephen Brown and Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, team up for ‘3D World EP’ this April.

Following his acclaimed debut album ‘Tungsten’ on Kneaded Pains in 2021, as well as the recent ‘Motionless EP’ in February 2022, London based DJ/producer Fossil Archive, aka Roberto, joins forces with Edinburgh’s Stephen Brown, an artist whose work has appeared on Subject Detroit, Djax-Up-Beats, Echocord Colour, and more throughout his illustrious career.

Leading the release, ‘Control C’ sees the duo effortlessly weave syncopated stabs, knocking percussion, and rattling hats together for a suitably trippy start to the EP. Title cut ‘3D World’ follows with dense, emotive pads intertwined into sleek, building arrangement, one for the early hours. ‘More House’ bring pounding kick drums under swathes of FX and flowing chords before the final track, ‘Travel’ brings the tempo down for a hypnotic journey built for eyes-closed moments on the dancefloor.

Founded by Roberto in 2015, the Fossil Archive label has released music by artists such as Voiski, DJ Rolando, Sterac aka Steve Rachmad, Roman Lindau, Robert Owens, and many more, including Roberto himself. As a DJ, Roberto has played at the likes of fabric, Tresor, Berghain and more

Born and raised in a town called Baia Mare, in the mystical land of Transylvania, part of today's Romania, he first became dazzled by electronic music in the early 90s.  After a few years of his own musical exploration, he began DJing for a local radio show, which was dedicated to showcasing the best electronic music he could get his hands on.  That's where he played with two decks and a mixer for the first time.  Soon thereafter he was granted several placements in the clubs and festivals in his birth country, and he also began producing music, under the moniker Morris Newtone.

It wouldn't be a stretch to credit Marivs - then Morris Newtone - and his DJ buddies A.L.C.A., Delph Meer and Keed, with instituting the techno scene in his hometown in Romania.  At that time Marivs held a residency at one of the dance clubs in Baia Mare, wherein he was given enough free rein on the music he selected that he was able to truly demonstrate to his town what he believed dance music should sound like.  And under the club's requisite of maintaining an energetic dance floor at all times, Marivs quickly became adept at selecting and mixing tracks under pressure in order to produce that perpetual groove that he's known so well for today.

In 2013 he relocated to Toronto, Canada, where he continued to pursue his lifetime passion - the art of techno in its purest form - as 'Marivs,' which is the original Latin form of his birth name.

Behind the decks, Marivs's presence is commanding yet inviting, in the same way that his selections are dark and driving, yet delicate.  A perfectionist and a purist, Marivs has an innate ability to manipulate his music like few others can, whether the medium is analogue or digital.  He tells a story with each set that is so captivating that guests on his dancefloor have actually been cited as saying, "I didn't even know I liked techno until now."

Today Marivs is still viewed as a techno authority, not just with his DJ performances and productions, but also with his side promotion project Kaleidoscope, which is yet another avenue for him to show people what techno looks like through his eyes.

In his words: "Music shouldn't wake you up.  It should make you dream."
