Vault Sessions #114 - AMORAL | BRET 21/05

My next guest on Yax Invites is Liam ‘DUTS’ Dutton; a DJ and promoter from North West, England.

Having had a keen interest in electronic music from an early age from Drum & Bass, to House and 90's/00's Trance, discovered Techno in 2017 from attending local parties and festivals. Being massively inspired by the rawness, hypnosis-inducing and powerful nature of the genre, he felt a sense of expressing his passion for the music. Here he endeavoured on the journey of DJing.

He has since been invited to play at events in Manchester and more recently further afield in Poland by Vague Collective - a Manchester Techno collective, and is co-founder of a new, soon-to-be announced, Manchester-based party which has its debut 12-hour day party this August.

In this showcase mix expect a slight shift in styles over time, as he takes the listener on a journey of hypnotic rhythms, accompanied by a consistent deep and driving presence that is as satisfying for listening, as it is for dancing.

Liam ‘DUTS’ Dutton, is a DJ and promoter from Manchester, UK. Co-founder & resident of ‘Refractiøn’ which has thrown techno events in UK and Poland at venues such as The DBA, Rebellion and Crackhouse.

The mix starts off on a deeper and more sonic vibe and then moves into more dancefloor ready tracks with elements of texture consistent in the groove. Finally it makes its way into more hypnotic and trippy environment perfect for getting lost in.

Liam „DUTS” Dutton jest DJ-em i promotorem z Manchesteru w Wielkiej Brytanii. Współzałożyciel i rezydent „Refractiøn”, który organizował imprezy techno w Wielkiej Brytanii i Polsce w takich miejscach jak The DBA, Rebellion i Crackhouse.

Miks zaczyna się głębszym i bardziej dźwiękowym klimatem, a następnie przechodzi w bardziej taneczne utwory z elementami tekstury spójnymi w rytmie. W końcu trafia do bardziej hipnotycznego i tripowego środowiska.

SOLëM is a Producer // DJ based in Los Angeles
Having a deep passion for intertwining Occult Wisdom into his music, SOLëM looks to create powerful tools for the dance floor with the intention go deep within and embrace our shadow, as darkness is one with the light, "Everything is dual and has its poles : Opposites are identical in nature, but different in Degree".

SOLëM's sound can best be described as a Rumbling mass of sound, Evolving through a thick fog that rests over the fringes of what is perceived as techno.

With a major focus on Drones and Atmospheres that weave through each other as eerie textures convolute their way through the thick fog that eventually engulfs them. He seeks to convey the Depth of his emotional state through intelligent and unique sound design, always looking to create music that is timeless rather than trendy

Mic Meimaroglou's passion for electronic music began at a young age, sparked by his fascination with the synthesizer's analog sound. As he delved deeper into the art of music production, he discovered that synthesizing and mixing sounds provided him with a creative outlet for self-expression.

As a resident DJ in small bars, Michael's experimentation with various music genres expanded his knowledge and technique in mixing. In 2010, he released his first music demo under the alias "Aithale," which showcased his unique blend of electronica and techno elements.

In 2013 and 2014, Michael curated the electronic music program for the "Beach Street Festival," featuring both Greek and international artists. These experiences culminated in a milestone year for Michael in 2014, as he released his first music on 808 Recordings, Ntrop Recordings, and joined the music roster of Affect Recordings Munich. He also released on DMR Digital Italy.

In 2017, Michael launched USM Recordings with the goal of supporting the Greek contemporary electronic music scene. His music releases have been featured on various Greek and international media platforms, including BeatSelector, 5 Magazine, Electronic Groove, The Letter, mic.gr, and beater.gr.

In 2023, Michael co-founded ΣΥΝTHESIS, an electronic music artist collective platform based in Lesvos island, to inspire and expand electronic music around the island and beyond through events, workshops, conferences and screenings.

Michael's DJ performances are characterized by ambient and hypnotic techno patterns, with the flow of his sets influenced strongly by the crowd's mood and the sound elements that he follows.
