Amplify Series 141 - EKATA
2w ago01:06:06Tap to summarizeDirty Epic welcomes aboard @ekatamusic for its 141st installment of Amplify Series. Based in the UK and a resident at Natural Selection, EKATA engineers sonic environments where machine language and dystopian tension collide. Her sound operates in the shadows - driven by a cold, sci-fi presence & blurring the lines between Electro, Techno, Acid, and EBM. Each set and production unfolds like a transmission from a decaying future: precise, unrelenting, and charged with a latent sense of menace. With releases on AVOIDANT (Soma Records) and a growing catalogue of electro-focused material that underscores her sharp, machine-driven sound, her output continues to reinforce a clear and uncompromising artistic identity within the underground. Her recent release on Umwelt's New Flesh Records, further extends this trajectory - raw, uncompromising, and firmly rooted in the darker edges of the electro spectrum. Her journey has included memorable sets at legendary venues such as TRESOR, FOLD, UNFOLD, E1, Shambala Festival, Ministerium, About:Blank, Kilométre25, Fanzine Festival and Loone, steadily cementing a distinct presence within the worlds that she is orbiting. Her work has resonated with visionary names in the electro world, earning praise and support from influential figures like Anthony Rother, Umwelt, The Advent, Andrea Parker, and Plant43 to name a few. EKATA forges a sound steeped in dystopian atmospheres and mechanical intensity, where metallic textures and industrial rhythms collide with raw emotional depth - crafting immersive sonic landscapes that are as evocative as they are propulsive. Whilst being heavily influenced by Detroit, her performances reflect a commitment to authenticity. she's a dedicated selector with sharp instincts and a fearless, uncompromising artistic vision. EKATA delivers sets that are powerful, transportive, and deeply resonant.

Amplify Series 138 - Reka Zalan
Apr 2801:27:01Tap to summarizeDirty Epic welcomes aboard @reka-zalan for the 138th installment of Amplify Series. Reka Zalan is a Berlin-based DJ, born to a Hungarian father and a German-Dutch mother. Her sets unfold with a keen sense of focus, shifting between hypnotic depth and percussive drive. Navigating through different shades of techno with an open heart, she weaves together trippy, sometimes psy-tinged tension, rattling grooves, mental maelstroms, and uplifting momentum into one coherent arc. While she started out DJing digitally, she has also learned the craft of vinyl over the years and now enjoys working fluidly with both formats. In addition to recent back-to-back appearances with peers such as Rill, she occasionally performs as No Life Signal, a back-to-back duo with fellow DJ THNTS. Growing up in southern Germany and still attending school, her early interest in electronic music and DJ culture led friends to gift her a DJ workshop — a step that marked the beginning of her journey. While studying cultural sciences in Bremen, she began playing her first gigs and became involved in the city’s subcultural scene. After moving to Berlin in 2015, she gradually established herself as a DJ, co-curating a party series at Mensch Meier before joining the booking team of ://about blank. There, she later became a resident and, together with THNTS and their close friend Marc, co-ran the techno-focused in-house series ://elements for several years. Since 2023, she has held a local residency at the renowned Tresor Club and also plays at other key Berlin venues like Berghain – where her debut marked a personal milestone on her path. Off the dancefloor, Reka has been part of the Hard Wax record store team since 2019, where she continues to deepen and broaden her musical horizons. She is also a member of coppi, a cultural space and collective in Lichtenberg that hosts weekly community-led studio sessions. Before fully immersing herself in club culture, she worked at the Berlin Music Commission, supporting the city’s music industry network. Whether behind the decks or behind the scenes, Reka is driven by curiosity and a deep sense of connection with like-minded people — always aiming to build bridges through a shared love of sound and collective experience.
