track is fu awesome: In Germany we called it "Brett"  - Michel Lauriola - Complete Original [Kazerne006]

Kostas aka AgainstMe is a Berlin-based Greek DJ, producer, and co-founder of SOCIETY 3000, as well as a core member of USM Recordings. His journey into electronic music began at just 17, when he started releasing music under a different alias, experimenting with a variety of electronic genres. However, it wasn’t until his first rave and techno parties on his home island of Lesvos in 2017 that he found his true musical identity, and AgainstMe was born.

The AgainstMe project draws inspiration from the struggle to align with one's inner voice, a journey Kostas deeply resonates with. Techno, with its hypnotic melodies, heavy drum patterns, and ritualistic energy, provided him with a revolutionary and unifying sound, something that stood in contrast to everything he had experienced before.

Since then, his sound has evolved, and his releases have gained international recognition. Notable works include the EP Tension Seeker on Warok Records, the album Synopsis on Subsist Records, and UNCERTAIN on Immaterial.Archives. His music has received support from influential platforms such as 6AM, Hate, Monument, Electronic Groove, and Beater, as well as from respected artists like DVS1, Umwelt, Sev Dah, Rodhad, Kangding Ray, K-Hand, Mikael Delta, Richie Hawtin, and Marco Bailey.

As a DJ, Kostas has performed at renowned venues and parties, including Tresor, RSO, Fuchs2, Qreclaim, Astron Bar, Six D.O.G.S, and SMUT Athens. His sets, much like his productions, are a hypnotic blend of driving rhythms and atmospheric depth, captivating audiences around the globe.

Looking ahead, Kostas is preparing to release new material on prestigious labels like SOMA Records, 47, Tar Hallow, Malor Records, Renegade Methodz, and Evilgroove Records, ensuring that his future in the techno scene looks exceptionally bright.

PARADOX PODCAST #195 -- BESTE HIRA

@amotikmusic
''When I first played at Pax-Romana exactly 3 years ago, I immediately felt a connection with the crew and the crowd. Plus, we share a birthday! I’m very honoured to continue our relationship with Friends of Pax.

This set is representative of what I am playing right now in the clubs: a collection of no-nonsense favourites that have been going down well for me over the past few months''.

We met Amotik when he played the closing at our 1st anniversary. Since that moment, everything felt organic and warm, just like his closing track 'Knights of the Jaguar'. We share a birthday, so our paths will be linked forever, and we're super grateful to have him in the PAX-COLLECTIVE!

PAX-COLLECTIVE: Amotik

Sink into the memory of Closer's last Masada session on 24th May 2025, when Nastia Reigel immerged the crowd in raw machine funk and relentless 4x4 momentum!

Amidst a landscape defined by constant evolution, Nastia Reigel stands out with unwavering confidence, offering a strong musical foundation and a distinctive artistic vision that sets her apart. Each performance is a masterclass in precision and atmosphere: an enthralling fusion of propulsive rhythms and sharp textures that sweep listeners into her sonic world, leaving no detail untouched.

Commanding energy, refined elegance, and magnetic presence: a force with staying power, filled with high-impact material tailor-made for warehouse-level intensity. These aren't just functional floor tools — they evolve with rich textures and kaleidoscopic layers, pushing past convention.

CLOSERcast #097 - NASTIA REIGEL

Recorded live at Danza Futura 2025, this set captures the full force of Temudo’s unique sound: sharp, minimal, driving — yet deeply emotional. As one of the most vital figures in Portugal’s techno scene and co-founder of Hayes Collective, Temudo delivered an unforgettable journey through pulsating rhythms, dense textures, and immersive sound design.

Let yourself be transported back to the forest, where nature and machine merge, and the dancefloor becomes a ritual.

Happy to share the recording of my set at CROW in Madrid. The crowd, the sound, the flow — everything came together to make it an incredible night. The recording really captures that atmosphere, and I’m glad it’s now out there to relive.
