The 38th Earwiggle release comes from one of our favourites, and a debutant on the label, Serbian studio supremo Commissar Lag. The “Absolution EP” finds Lag delivering his playful vision of techno, dipping into the past while also pointing us to the future, all framed through an exquisite production gleam. Dense, rolling rhythms reminiscent of early ’00s Stockholm techno, combined with a catchy repeating vocal sequence (one of Lag’s trademark techniques) and rising sirens, result in the monster opening title track “Absolution”. “Aim Without Mercy” is another club destroyer - jabbing keys, broken jagged beats, and a series of rising pressure points making it another winner. “The Blessed” meanwhile, shifts the mood from mental to majestic, with interchanging leads and reverb-drenched climaxes marking the big-room peak of the record. Rounding things off is Irish wunderkind Dylan Fogarty, who reimagines “Aim Without Mercy” through a deep and psychedelic lens, layering textural collages over surging, jacking 909s.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @theownlife for the 132d installment of Amplify Series.

Always committed to the music and with the ability to smoothly transmit the different levels of intensity, with a tireless study of the diversity of rhythms and the different genres within dance music, Leiras has grown to be one to keep an eye on in the international techno scene.

Born in the north of Spain, he came across clubs like ‘La Real’ and ‘El Jardin’ in early 2000. Two clubs important to the history of techno music within Spain, and more so, also important to Leiras musical background, as they influenced him and his artistic career in a fundamental way.

Being the mind behind ‘Ownlife’, a record label focusing on the most visceral, hypnotical and sometimes experimental techno music, he created a home mainly for his own productions, but also a space with the freedom to express his own particular vision of dance music. With this in mind, Ownlife is also a platform to showcase Leiras favorites producers at the time.

As a DJ he is influenced by different styles in electronica, which clearly shows at the time when he propounds his own sound from the DJ booth. He always establishes a bridge in between the past – the purity of the first works of pioneer techno producers, and the future – visible in the advanced character of the vanguardist productions of different artists these days. This compromise with the continuous music digging, the one created in the past by authentic visionaries, is what inspired him to create the sublabel “SELD” based on one single concept; to perpetuate the legacy of some of techno’s pioneers, and bringing back the attention to music that keeps the pure character and commitment it was created with.

During the past years, Leiras' work has brought him to clubs all over the world, from Europe to Asia and all the way to South America, playing at respected clubs and festivals.

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @mervhh for the 130th installment of Amplify Series.

With a magnetic presence and an unmistakable sonic identity, she is one of the most compelling new voices emerging from Europe's underground. Now based in Warsow, she channels intensity, groove and precision into DJ sets that ignite the dance floor with raw kinetic force. Her energy isn't aggressive, it's surgica. Hard groove, but with architecture.

Her footprint across Europe's club circuit speaks for itself: Tresor, Club Ost, HOR Berlin, Smolna, Teletech, Liquid Club Malta, LeBlock Marseille, Gamescom Cologne, Crest Kiev, and Basel. Each performance reveals her ability to read the room and bend it to her will shifting momentum, building tension, then releasing into pure movement.

Inside the studio, a different world emerges: slow-burning cinematic textures, experimental soundscapes, and compositions built for film, advertising, and gaming. It's the other side of her artistry not just rhythm, but world-building.

Her debut EP SELEM was released on Polish imprint The Behind The Stage, followed by Against Ignorance on Georgia's Innergate Records. Most recently, she joined forces with Lesser Of for an EP on Vast Perception.

She also co-owns Lethal Curse, a forward-thinking label dedicated to championing the next wave of underground sound.

Beat by beat, room by room, she is shaping a narrative that reaches far beyond the booth.
