TM8 Q: If you had to choose a new DJ alias right now, what would it be & why?
A: "Dj Nevertheless - Since choosing Dj name years ago I’ve changed so much and this alias could capture the change. Nevertheless - “no matter what” - feels very me today. It also rhymes with the current one :)"

Berlin-based DJ and producer Less Distress debuts on our mix series, bringing with her an hour of galloping rhythms, psychedelic atmospheres and dreamy melodies with a metallic edge. With a sound that skips across several sonic palettes, the Russian-born artist has released on a wide range of established labels, including @mamatoldya, @positivesource, @akronymcollective, @inorbitrec, @rawppl and @coupprojekt amongst others. As a DJ, Less Distress has played in venues worldwide, from Fuse in Belgium to THEOFFICE in Armenia, and next up, you can find Less Distress in London in November for a party beginning with T and ending with E. We'll leave that for you to figure out…

Welcome !

💿 / Mama told ya / Play Labs / LCDM / Ōtomo / FLIRT / MANIC BB / DALF

Introduced to DJing at a very young age by his father, who is also a DJ, he spent over ten yearsexploring turntables and discovering a wide range of musical styles.This long journey helped him develop a sharp ear and strong musical culture, eventuallyleading him to embrace techno, as well as genres like break and ghettotech.In 2023, he took things a step further by diving into music production. A prolific studio artist,he has already created over 200 tracks — the result of years of listening to a rich variety ofsounds and genres.His productions, raw and hybrid, quickly caught the attention of labels he deeply admires,such as MAMA TOLD YA and PLAY LABS.Constantly evolving, Dr Breinnerr is crafting a unique sonic universe: a blend of energy,precision, and passion that reflects his journey and vision.

Hello to everyone, I'm just a music listener since I was born "1974"!!! Without music the world is wishy-washy.
I've done voice in a punk band called "Breakdown Brain" here on my land, but since invented Techno,
I follow the style with nails and teeths, thanks to Speedy J, Oscar Mulero, Chris Liebing, Plastikman, Ken Ishii, Emmanuel Top, Anthony Child, Fumiya Tanaka, Richard D. James, Autechre, OrbitalJeff Mills, Chris Knowles and all the Liberators, Guy McAffer, CJ Bolland, Green Velvet, UR, Laurent Hô, Miss Djax, N-Son-X, Daz Saund, A.Paul, DJPepo, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, FSOL, Hardfloor, Acid Junkies, Mário Roque, Jesus del Campo...
and many more...! You know what I'm talkin about!
I don't know why I never got into production and DJing, maybe one day (it's a project) ...
Thank you all for your work and good luck to everyone! Good job SoundCloud!
"LET THE MUSIC TAKE CONTROL!!!"
Thank you guys for the TECHNO I've been hearing here at SoundCloud and around the world with you ALL!!!
