Balrog’s debut album, “The Northern Powerhouse” is composed of 8 hard-hitting techno tracks, focusing on heavy, groove-ridden drums, driving basslines and obscure, distorted vocals. His tracks take influence from classic, hard-grooving techno but with a fresh injection of modern, industrial power.
The framework for the tracks was developed in the midst of the fallout from the UK leaving the EU and the numerous attempts to “level up” the north of the country through The Northern Powerhouse scheme, from which the album derives its name. Conceptually, the album is an attempt from the artist to dissociate himself from Brexit and the conservative government which has consistently stigmatised the most vulnerable in UK society and spread lies on an industrial scale in order to push forward their agenda.
Through the album, a series of linked tracks mirror the raw divisions in society, not just between The North and The South of the UK, but also more widely representing divisions throughout the world. As the album develops, a more hopeful outcome is suggested, seeing the culture of underground music as having the potential to build connections and incite resistance in an increasingly divided world.

Fogler swoją przygodę z Techno zaczynał jako współzałożyciel kolektywu Pogotowie
Techno. Projekt ten dał mu nie tylko znajomości w branży, ale przede wszystkim
możliwość obcowania z muzyką elektroniczną na wielu jej płaszczyznach. Jako
organizator eventów poczuł związek przyczynowo-skutkowy pomiędzy roztańczonym
parkietem, a DJ i zaczął śmiało rozpychać się po drugiej stronie głośników.
Przełomowym momentem fascynacji tą kulturą okazał się festiwal Up To Date w 2019
roku, gdzie Marcin miał okazję na żywo usłyszeć takie tuzy światowego Deep Techno jak
Mike Parker, Antony Linell czy Svreca. Wtedy postanowił, że pójdzie na przekór trendom
i zbuduje selekcję opierającą się na głębokich i eksperymentalnych brzmieniach. Oprócz
powyższych artystów Fogler inspirował się również: Exium, Vsk czy Reeko.
Olbrzymią rolę w rozwoju świadomości twórczej u Marcina miała nie tylko muzyka, ale
też inne dziedziny sztuki takie jak malarstwo czy film. Fogler zafascynowany był
postmodernizmem i fundamentalnymi przemianami społecznymi, które miały miejsce w
Europie środkowo wschodniej pod koniec ubiegłego wieku. Naturalnie źródłem i
najważniejszym punktem poszukiwań był Berlin. Fogler eksplorując kulturę Techno zza
naszej wschodniej granicy wpadł na takie nazwiska jak Adam X, Answer Code Request,
Etap Kyle, Rhys Fulber oraz inni reprezentanci labelów Ostgun Ton czy Sonic Groove.
Pomimo, że jego selekcja wywodzi się z Deep Techno to obecnie czuć w niej miejski
charakter oraz futurystyczną melancholijność. W jego setach dominuje industrialny
charakter, numerom często towarzyszy post-punkowy wokal, a wszystko to podbite jest
mocno energetycznym kickiem i ciężkim basem.

Daniel Ö, an artist, DJ, and music producer,
His pivotal moment came with his introduction to Berlin's clubbing scene, which reshaped his artistic direction.
His musical style draws from a broad spectrum of electronic genres, with a particular emphasis on sub-genres of techno music.
His compositions are characterized by their repetitive, groovy, dark, hypnotic, industrial, and acid tones.
In 2021, he founded his independent label, "LOGIA Sound Collective," dedicated to showcasing clubbers as artists and positioning Jerusalem as a vibrant hub for electronic music.
Currently, following the release of his debut album "TEMPLE," Daniel continues to produce original music and expand his label through both local and international projects, aiming to solidify his imprint in the global electronic music scene.
