@XDB, the founder of the Metrolux music label, is one of Germany’s most respected DJs. Kosta Athanassiadis is a long-standing institution as a Dj and Producer with a significant collection of timeless productions and memorable remixes. 

XDB has his roots in the central German town of Göttingen. It was there that he began DJing in the early nineties, where he worked in a record shop and where he ran a radio show for five years. And that was the base from which he established the Metrolux record label back in 2006.

For many people, it was at this point that XDB appeared on their radar. His debut ‘Jackintosh EP’ and the following ‘Descap EP’ made a splash. Kosta’s DJ sets draw upon his expansive record collection, playing right across the board of electronic music. His DJing keeps him in the public eye, but one gets the sense that XDB prefers to operate in the shadows.
——
@revoltathens was brought to life in 2013 with the purpose to satisfy people’s craving for immersive experiences with electronic music and other forms of art.

In 2014, the crew started a record label and six years later, took a big step forward and opened a hybrid-record shop with new and second-hand records. This space is meant to be used in the most creative yet practical way, to showcase artists and their talent, organize live shows and small exhibitions.

REVOLT 001 w/ XDB

We are blessed to welcome our first artist to our new Podcast series. We say welcome dear XDB and thanks for contributing this beautiful vinyl only mix!

XDB is Kosta Athanassiadis – German by birth and in residence, with Greek parentage. His roots are in the central German town of Göttingen. It was here that he began DJing in the early nineties; where he worked in a record shop; where he ran a radio show for five years; and the base from which he established the Metrolux record label in 2006. 

For many people, it was at this point that XDB appeared on their radar.  He has no shortage of technical skill but it’s his selection that truly shines – putting the music itself at the forefront, letting songs breathe when need be, and delivering plenty of head-scratching ‘what the hell is this track?’ moments. It’s on this that Kosta has built his reputation. 

When it comes to producing, Kosta favours a slow and steady work rate, opting to focus on quality control rather than record shop ubiquity. His DJing keeps him in the public eye, but one gets the sense that XDB prefers to operate in the shadows. There’s a refreshing lack of gimmickry to his approach – keeping it low-key allows him to be judged solely on the basis of talent. Arguably, it’s an innate quality – the way he wants to play it; the way that brings him most satisfaction, but it’s helped establish his reputation as an artist of considerable merit, winning the approval his audience and peers, alike.

EPM podcast #162 - Placid

It may not be for everybody but Dub Techno when it's done well, is up there, in the higher echelons of electronic music. You wont really get it until you hear it on a proper sound system,  it just doesn't work on a phone or laptop. You cant flick through it either.  You have to let the tracks breathe and do their thing.  Put it on loud and let it do its thing

Tracklisting

Yagya - Sleepygirls Outtakes
Deepchord - Departure
Havantepe - Prototype
Graham Van Spelt - Sense Appeal
Salz- Stainless
Scion Version

The Space Between the Bass

The dub techno stars aligned for 90 mins of Verdant & Stojche alchemy. 

Arguably my highlight of the weekend was just rubbing tunes with Stojche chez moi.
