Serbian-born DJ/Producer Lag was globe trotting from Los Angeles to Berlin, with his last pre-Covid gig at Berghain a little over a year ago. Meanwhile in quarantine, apart from discovering his newfound talent in hand modeling (as he alleges), Lag contributes to the interconnectedness of our global techno community by hosting a weekly Twitch show on his channel, CommissarLag, where he gives feedback to producers on their submitted tracks. (Simply send your tunes to: solumun.epic.set@gmail.com). 

Lag has a versatile, wide ranging warehouse sound that we love. His latest release, “Katran” (“tar” in Serbian), is a hefty dance track with a no-BS breakbeat attitude, elements of grunge, and a dirty bassline. Heavy claps set with delay give this track a sweaty feel. This nine-minute journey is filled with head-banging, punk energy whose rebounds can barely be contained. Low-frequency sounds resembling motorcycle revs haunt the track with intense drive. 

Prior to the pandemic Lag was preparing for his third US tour. Missing his sets almost as much as his jokes, Dirty Epic looks forward to welcoming Lag back to the LA underground.

PREMIERE: Vighil - Primitive Rethorics [SPDL002]

| EPISODE 090 | Ex.Hale

„Rising“ ist ein grooviger, treibender Techno-Track, der direkt zum Tanzen einlädt.
Rhythmisch, energiegeladen und mit diesem besonderen Scuro-Groove, der sich langsam aufbaut und nicht mehr loslässt.
Ein Track fürs Aufwachen auf der Tanzfläche – wenn du merkst: Jetzt geht’s richtig los.

Music Is My Drug

Welcome to the 117th Unmasked Discussion.
Guest: George Minos.

For the next Unmasked Discussion, we are happy to host our talented friend and resident DJ at The Judgement Hall, George Minos.

Originally from Greece, George has cultivated a long-lasting love for electronic music and the underground. 
Passions that he found perfectly embodied by the concept of party series The Judgement Hall, a place for him to explore the realms of heavy as well as dance music.

In this hour-long podcast he recorded for us, George delivers a dance-floor oriented set, sliding from industrial to noise, from harsh to smooth, to always come back to techno.

"This is a prayer to the unknown, if I don’t get an answer it means I’m alone."
