The depth of his experience and musical background can be distinctly heard in his informed track selections that hit with serious intensity and attitude, yet maintain a level of nuance and a touch of mystery. With hard-hitting releases on Lobster Theremin, Arsenik, Amniote Editions, and KAOS, D.Dan's inimitable blend of slamming funky techno and spitting acid is primed to shake dancefloors into a percussive frenzy.ĭ.Dan came into this music as a percussionist and drummer, and found his heart for DJing through the intimate communities of the DIY techno scene in Seattle, throwing warehouse raves, basement parties and forest campouts. Meet D.Dan - Berlin-based DJ and Producer, seeking the intersection between raw grooves, slippery psychedelia, and mutant-machine paranoia. Weaving threads of sounds new & old into a signature style of supersonic rhythm shifters, every mix of hers courses with timelessness & the most empowering qualities of rave – time dilation, expanded perspective within the mantra-like repetition of electronic rhythms, & the continuum of black futurity at dance music’s core. Drawing influence from the kinetic freedom of 90s midwest techno, the unifying velocity of dancing, & the frenetic pace of life, Akua has since helped redefine the techno sounds emerging from NYC through the multitude of her evocative, mind bending sets & exuberant mixing techniques.Īkua’s tireless dedication to more freakish strains of techno & finesse encapsulates the sublime, chaotic potential of the present, while harkening back to the innovative methods & experimentation of DJs throughout history. Her practice as a DJ has developed throughout the years to uniquely encompass her passion for techno – not only as an apparatus for dance, but one of self discovery, community building, & unrestricted knowledge. A meteoric rise to supreme power for the Parisian producer, whose touring agenda has gone from busy to chock-a-block in a jiffy, and we grant you this, ladies and gentlemen, is just the beginning.Īkua is a Ghanian-American artist, who’s relocating from Brooklyn, NYC to Berlin. An increasingly in-demand talent, Dario also joined Dax J's Monnom Black stable in the meanwhile, contributing a track to the label's eagerly anticipated debut VA 'The World Of Monnom Black', alongside some of today's techno's most renowned big guns. Taking their collaboration to a new extent, AIROD's inaugural 12" delivery for Amelie's label Lenske - the aptly-titled 'Voltage' - finds him delivering a quartet of high-octane dancefloor wreckers that promise to get the pressure gauge into the red zone effortlessly, no matter the hour of the day or the baking level of its audience. A shared bill with French techno ace Amelie Lens at REX Club would soon seal Dario’s fate, prompting Lens to get him on board her highly reputed Exhale parties across the Globe, of which he’s since become a mainstay. ![]() ![]() Since he broke through on an international level in 2018 with his debut solo 12" on Molekül, drawing instant support from the likes of Dasha Rush, Blawan, Randomer, Kobosil, to name but a few, AIROD's kept forging his own strain of techno, both dark and muscular, blustery and tirelessly corrosive. Hailing from Paris, Dario Brkic aka AIROD is perhaps one of the finest incarnations of what the French techno scene can bring to the table when it comes to turning any cold-walled warehouse into a proper coal-fired furnace. ![]()
