//1 ECSTATIC RAVE HEILBRONN mit Jan B

After attending so many years, what a privilege it was to play my first Bang Tech 12 party at Bookies in Detroit, an annual tradition the day before the Movement Festival. This was an hour of some of my favorite “Techno Files” bangers, freshly cleaned for the podcast, so it was nice to really play them out. No looping, edits or effects, just me & a bag of vinyl on 2 decks.

C-Baze invites Mike Highdyke 09-08-2025

On July 25, 2025, Detroit Techno Militia invited me to close out their takeover of Spkrbox, helping me celebrate a huge birthday. This was a very special night, and it felt like my homecoming. While my last posted set for Bang Tech 12 was on all vinyl, on this one I finally got to break out my digital vinyl remasters and rock a proper set with them live. Gotta say, it felt really good!

We had a hot mic going and it picked up some fun moments. I closed out the set with a Detroit classic that’s had more emotional import on me than I could begin to articulate.

DTM Birthday (July 25, 2025)

Born in the late 70's, raised in the 80's Raving in the 90's

Christian aka C-Baze became infected with the House virus when he got a Turn Up The Bass cassette tape for his birthday.

In the 90's he attended many Hardcore and Oldskool parties and decided to master mixing himself.
With a lot of practice and making mix CDs for friends we finally managed to climb the DJ stage.

He played at various small parties, he is a Resident DJ at HardMagni, played a few times with DOTF Radio and was allowed to perform on Flying Dutch on the T-mobile stage and Resident Dj Oldschool Renegades

He also has an almost weekly Livestream where he plays from Oldskool to Early Rave and all styles in between. So keep an eye on his pages!

Attention! Attention!..... The next song is with music! 😉

No discussion of underground techno purism and technical DJ mastery would be complete without the mention of Dylan Drazen’s uniquely remarkable life and career, and the myriad of musical influences it has brought. Conforming to no one person, genre or entity, Dylan has fiercely charted his own path since his sonic journey began over thirty years ago.

With the outset of Drazen’s path arriving in the early 90’s at the age of 18, a crescendo would already manifest by the late 90’s when Spain took note of his visionary methods and pioneering sound during the earliest days of the Internet, and he quickly became an originating stalwart of its nationwide underground techno scene for years, putting in over a million air miles commuting from his New York base, crisscrossing the Iberian peninsula many times over, as fans couldn’t get enough of his relentlessly energetic, organic and authentic rhythms that were so novel to a generation of partygoers.

Yet at the height of all this in the mid 2000s Dylan became swept up in the worldwide poker boom and found himself at a crossroads with dual careers. Maintaining both for nearly a decade, he decided to relocate to South Florida in 2012 to take poker more seriously and music took a back seat. By 2020, Dylan’s poker talent would bring him over $1 million in cash and tournament winnings. Then the pandemic hit, the world ground to a halt and everything was reset as he noticed fans begging for his return, bringing him to yet another crossroads…

So let’s reset.

Dylan’s exposure to multiple forms of music began at the age of 16 getting his first job working at his local record store on Long Island, NY. He quickly gravitated to electronic music, heavily inspired by what New York’s FM airwaves had to offer well before the hiphop era would take over. That summer he would sneak out to NYC and into his first club experience, The Limelight, where he instantly fell in love with its debaucherous environment and DJ booth, which he vowed to get into.

By graduation in 1993 he was beyond hooked. Before heading off to college, he took that summer to intern at a few Manhattan based labels: Todd Terry’s Freeze Records, as well as Astralwerks and Instinct Records. All the while insatiably crate digging through NY’s various vinyl shops, Dylan’s teen self was already swimming in local contacts and influences.

But college awaited, and throughout his time at Boston’s Emerson College (obtaining a degree in audio engineering) he launched a weekly radio mix show called “Underground 88” on WERS 88.9 FM through 1997, working his contacts and continuing to hone his technical skills live on air. During these formative years Dylan maintained working at various vinyl shops in NY and Boston doggedly advancing his exposure to every genre imaginable, thus contributing to his encyclopedic knowledge of electronic dance music and all of the wide-ranging influences it would bring him. As a byproduct, his position enabled him to recommend tracks to and influence the taste of bedroom DJs and a myriad of luminaries alike.

Through these years, he even made good on his promise to play at The Limelight before it shuttered, as well as other infamous New York megaclubs like The Tunnel, Twilo and Save The Robots. And thanks to his stint as assistant engineer at The Looking Glass Studios where David Bowie was recording his latest album in 1997, Dylan was hired to DJ Mr. Bowie’s private 50th birthday party after his sold out birthday performance at Madison Square Garden.

But by the turn of the millennium it was off to the races and Dylan was spending more time on the road than at home, as he found himself in demand not only in Spain, but also in The Netherlands headlining the Awakenings festival three times, as well as other major events and festivals in Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Colombia, spreading his unique form of techno gospel one city at a time. 

Between journeys Dylan made the most of his audio degree by building out his own studio in Brooklyn, releasing a handful of original releases and remixes on some of America’s more influential labels of the era: François K.’s Clicktracks; Ascend; Blueline; Remains; and Ultra Records. Even after moving to South Florida in 2012, Dylan continued to work on remixes for other Spanish and European labels.

Then as Dylan began to go dark quietly diving head first into South Florida’s world of high stakes poker, he made sure to finalize the curation of his life’s work on his website and SoundCloud page, with that nagging feeling he would one day return…

That day arrived in 2021 when Dylan decided to look for work as a local DJ in Fort Lauderdale and its saturation of gay nightlife. His bimonthly residency at the legendary Ramrod helped pave his way back, growing just as comfortable in today’s booths as he did 20 years prior.

After a couple years of this and then launching The Techno Files podcast, he realized it was time for more. So in 2025 Dylan decided to relocate once again, this time to the birthplace of where it all began: Detroit.

Within his first year as Detroit resident, Dylan was already playing events for Detroit Techno Militia & Bang Tech 12, along with multiple appearances at Spot Lite, Spkrbox & TV Lounge.

New York-born, Miami-tested, now Detroit-welcomed: Dylan Drazen is primed and ready to return to the world’s electronic stage showing modern audiences how 30 years of sonic mastery, experience and musical influence can be put on brilliant display in a single set.

Tom Schön turned his records since 1999 not only in some local clubs such as Frankfurt the U60311 or the COCOON - he already played in cities such as Berlin and Cologne. He played also in european cities Ibiza, Fuerteventura, Montenegro, Romania, Swizz, Austria and Belgium.

He has already played together with international artists such as Jay Lumen, Bart Skills, Dapayk, Sascha Braemer, Ron Flatter, Nicole Moudaber, Carl Cox, Ricardo Villalobos, Mark Fanciulli, Onno, Oxia, Phillip Bader, Dosem, Coyu, Hollen, Ramiro Lopez, Stephan Bodzin, Dusty Kid, Wade, D-Nox, Teenage Mutants, Moonwalk, Channel X, Uto Karem, Andre Galluzzi, Tyree Cooper and many more and charmed his audience.

He played sounds from Progressive House to Melodic and Techno.

Tom Schön has in his career already released on labels such as Aviary Rec., Amber Rec., Dear Deer Music, Rezongar Music, Sinedie, Circle Music, Mad Hatter, Jaw Dropping, BluFin, Praxxis, Soundso Rec., Sickness, Toxic Family, Fassade Rec., Affin, Soap Rec., Delikt-Music, DSR Digital, Global Echoes, Abiesa Rec., Glovel Deep, nuOn Music, Royal Plastic, Pure Pure Rec., Technocracy Rec., Koyo Rec., and many more. But least on his own label audioVENE which starts 2016.

After 10 years as resident dj at the legendary U60311, he has his homebase since 2013 at  the club Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt at the series COLOURS.

Since 2013, Tom work with his longtime colleague Richard Sturm together to a new collaboration. Under the name SCHÖN & STURM, they publish many tracks and remixes.

Ecstatic Dance DJ | Grew up near Berlin, now lives in Heilbronn via Frankfurt with many influences from these electronic scene cities 🥰

❤️ Flying Sober ❤️

In the beginning, I was searching for an ecstatic dance that truly reflected my musical journey – a dynamic mix of house, minimal, soulful techno, and harder styles of trance and techno, combining the energy of underground clubbing with conscious, clear intensity. When I couldn't find it, I decided to create it myself.
