w. Techno 1

There’s no room to argue, Joseph Capriati has enjoyed his finest year to date and his escalation as one the principle profiles in techno knows no boundaries. 

The Napoli-born firebrand has just completed a stunning season in Ibiza as a resident of Marco Carola’s Music On at Amnesia. Anyone who caught him play the main room this season will agree – his special ability to combine an infectious stage presence, with razor sharp DJ skills draws techno fans to dancefloor like bees to a honey pot. No wonder island legend Carola’s handpicked him to perform on 8 separate occasions, more than any other artist this season. 

Combine this momentum with an outstanding 2013 that already saw him headline his first coast-to-coast tour of the US, play a historic 12 hour set at the Metropolis in Napoli, plus headline every major techno festival on the planet, the time couldn’t be better for Capriati to unleash ‘Self Portrait’, his sophomore LP. 

Already ingrained in the consciousness of techno lovers this year thanks to ‘Fratello’ and ‘Awake’ the pair of searing dancefloor slayers that were released in June as the album’s first singles, ‘Self Portrait’ goes deeper than the club stormers the Italian is famed for. Over 11 future-facing tracks, Capriati displays his deft production skill to supersede his reputation for bodyslamming dancefloors. 

Tracks such as ‘Electrolytic’, the album’s atmospheric opener evokes mood with a barrage of steely synths, gritty drums and industrial beats, while ‘Self Portrait’, the typically reflective album title track is an understated ambient gem led by warm trickles of melody that pairs nicely with ‘Naked’ which exhibits the producer’s deft skills for moulding sparse stripped back minimal that kicks along with cheeky vox and shuffling percussion. 

He further reinforces his ability to create addictive club rollers with the quirky, squiggly groover ‘Easy Come Easy Go’, while the masterful ‘Basic Elements’, chugs along with rattling industrial percussion before giving way to a sublime wall of melody that’s just the kind of genius fare that gets his diehard fans raising Italian flags inscribed with ‘JOSEPH CAPRIATI KING OF TECHNO’ regularly at this gig. And with an album this good, who are we to argue?

Veins

Verso 1]
No en el trueno, ni en el ardor,
ni en los ecos con mi voz.

[ bridge]
Sino en la calma tras el temblor,
allí el corazón halla calor.

[Verso 2]
Sin una frase, sin preguntar,
el alma sabe sin hablar.
[ bridge]
Un respiro, una luz sutil —
en ese instante empiezo a sentir.

[Estribillo]
🕯️ En el silencio, estás aquí,
susurro leve que sentí.
Ni en lo alto, ni en lo hondo —
sólo en el centro más profundo.
Sí, en el silencio… hay paz.

[Interludio instrumental]
(guitarra suave, eco ambiental, piano flotante)

[Verso 3]
Busqué respuestas sin cesar,
grité al miedo, quise escapar.
Ahora me quedo, dejo pasar —
y siento el alba despertar.

[Estribillo – con armonías]
🕯️ En el silencio, estás aquí,
susurro leve que sentí.
Ni en lo alto, ni en lo hondo —
[ bridge]
sólo en el centro más profundo.
Sí, en el silencio… hay paz.

[Final – susurrado]
No como la da el mundo…
sino como la conoce el alma.

Definition:Music is absolutely delighted to welcome Darius Syrossian once again with a heavy 3 track release titled ‘Back to Truth’. The title track features a stunning low-end with beautifully simple synth work. Listen close, because this is what brilliant house music sounds like. As the title suggests, ‘Acid Fifteen’ sets its feet firmly in acid-house territory. Drawing inspiration from the countless classic before it; ‘Acid Fifteen’ captures our attention and delivers a punch in the same breath, and always keeping the energy rising. The third track comes thanks to Nick Curly, who has remixes ‘Back To Truth’ and adds a steady burn with a groovy low-end. The track sticks to a fantastic tech house vibe throughout, rising and falling; taking us along with it.

Darius Syrossian - Back To Truth (Nick Curly Remix)

Senso boss Oliver Huntemann first released the original version of Magnet in 2011 as a part of his Paranoia LP on Ideal Audio. A few years later, Brazil’s leading underground techno light Victor Ruiz reworked the track into an unofficial bootleg, which since had been rinsed by Ruiz, Huntemann and a slew of top DJs around the world. Such was its effect on the dance-floor, it’s now finally receiving an official release via Senso in a slightly updated version. The track itself is a lesson in tough, driving techno - unrelenting in its mission, yet infused with layers of subtlety and deeply funky beeps, squelches and effects. It’s a machine-funk monster, and it’s easy to see why the bootleg clocked up over 225,000 listens on Soundcloud.

Thru Infinity

Australian born DJ and producer Kormak has been making waves on Sydney’s club scene, curating adrenaline filled sets that have gained him more than a few high-profile fans, including Aussie man of the moment Fisher. His last track, ‘Keep On’ featured in Simon Dunmore and Sam Divine’s stand-out b2b at Defected Croatia, and his debut release with DFTD maintains his bumping, bass-driven style of production. The release opens with the title track ‘Love On The Line’, a momentum building record that shows Kormak experimenting with the deeper, dubbier side of house music. By comparison, ‘Feel’ echoes classic house tracks with its vocal, intensified drums and undeniable funk.

A true force in electronic music, the Kool FM resident has spent over two decades pushing boundaries across genres, and he’s just signed a major 2025 album deal with London Records.

Known for blending House, Techno, and Jungle influences - balancing underground credibility with broad appeal - Shadow Child has left his mark on both club culture and the mainstream. A former BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM resident, his impact stretches far beyond the DJ booth. He’s played a key role in major hits, including the UK number one KDA’s ‘Rumble’, while also delivering cutting-edge releases on Shall Not Fade, Hot Creations, E-beamz, R&S, and Unknown to the Unknown.

With heavyweight support from Peggy Gou, Bonobo, Gerd Jansen and Carl Cox, 2025 is shaping up to be huge. His Jungle and Breakbeat-Rave inspired album drops late in the year, and we can’t wait for what’s next.
