Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Oliver Ho & Danny Passarella' gem on 'Passarella Records'.

Passarella Records, the independent label founded by Danny Passarella, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year (2015–2025).

Since its inception, the label has built a reputation for fearless techno, electronic experimentation, and bold, genre-defying collaborations.

Marking a decade of sound exploration, Passarella Records announces the release of a 10-track anniversary compilation - a collection of defining moments from the label’s catalogue. 
The album spotlights Danny Passarella’s central role as producer and collaborator, featuring work alongside acclaimed artists Perc, Oliver Ho, Samantha Togni, D’Marc Cantu, and Mitch Marcus, as well as Danny’s own side project, Kempes.

The compilation reflects the label’s evolution over the past decade - from industrial textures and hypnotic grooves to raw, emotive electronics - while reaffirming Danny Passarella’s vision at the heart of Passarella Records.

Speaking on the milestone, Danny Passarella says:
“Passarella Records has always been about freedom - an outlet to experiment, collaborate, and create without compromise. 
This compilation looks back at some of my favourite moments from the past decade while pointing forward to what’s still to come.”

The ‘10 Years of Passarella Records’ compilation will be released digitally on 28th November 2025.

Premiere: Oliver Ho & Danny Passarella – Female [Passarella Records]

This mix is a sonic metaphor for the sunset: a moment suspended between light and darkness, calm and tension. An inner journey where the light slowly fades to give way to a darker, more mental kind of techno.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @shantievanti for the 127th installment of Amplify Series.

Shanti has made textured waves in Chicago’s techno scene with her curation of dark, sinister, and ethereal soundscapes. Music has always been a means of coping with the otherness and hybridity Shanti experienced throughout her life. She has been deeply moved by the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. Shanti’s sets weave a story of the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition and illustrate an intentional trajectory through combining and cultivating surreal, atmospheric, and haunting sounds.
 
Enamored by the liminal dynamics of sound, she cohosts Otherworldly Ambiguity with Scum.ee –an experience that is centered around the phenomenon of existing in between and outside of pre-existing concepts and rigid categories. She is also a member of techno collective Research & Development and hosts a monthly radio show, “Liminal Radio” on WIIT 88.9 FM featuring thoughtful artists at the core of Chicago’s underground music scene.
 
Experiencing music outside of the confines of a club or the underground is extremely important to Shanti as she had initially discovered her favorite artists through online podcasts and radio. The universalizability of podcasts and radio enable music to be experienced by more humans situated in different contexts. This is why she has contributed to many notable online mix series and radio channels. Her mixes have been featured on The Black Lodge Radio, SutroFM, Mutant Radio, PPRZ, Distant Signals, Death Decay & Magic, Braid Records, Low Visibility, Dance All Day, and m50’s etc radio among other podcasts and shows.

"For this closing set, I wanted to cultivate an atmosphere of releasing the turbulent emotions we have been experiencing in Chicago as a community. I anticipated the desire for this release but experiencing it in the subterranean context of Smartbar - in the darkness - in real time- felt so powerful and transcendent. This experience was not merely an escape, but a channeling of the heaviness within us - how do the mind and body cope and grasp what is happening? I was fueled by the defiantly heavy energy from the dancers and it was such a testament to the healing power of music during these dark times."

Amplify Series 127 - Shanti (live Smartbar, Chicago 10/25)

This year, the underground comes alive again. The Bas[s]ment is back at ADE 2025, and we couldn’t be happier with this night !

What started as a passion project for techno lovers who crave raw energy and uncompromising sound has grown into a movement—and now, after a year of anticipation, we’re bringing that same spirit once more to ADE.

The Bas[s]ment isn’t just a venue. It’s a feeling: low ceilings vibrating with bass, bodies moving together in sync, the kind of atmosphere you can only find when music meets community. Every beat is deeper, every drop hits harder, and every night feels like it could go on forever.

Line up:
David Leese (NL) / Jeff Rushin (NL) / Man With No Shadow (NL) / Mind Your Step (NL) / Tahko (NL) / TBA / λ (Anonymous Function) (NL)
