About @lucascastro_official

Lucas Castro dove early into the world of electronic music. Influenced by his DJ uncle, he had the privilege of jumping from Summer Eletrohits straight into Schranz and Drum’n’Bass: by the age of 10, he was already into tracks like 'Cachaça' by Mvtica and 'Ready 4 This' by DJ Hazard. With the help of the classic Ishkur’s Guide to Electronic Music and a CD collection gifted by his uncle, he began exploring the genres and subgenres of electronic music.

At 13, in the city where he grew up, he had his first gig at a local club — the beginning of a path that would lead him to create different projects and aliases over the years, moving across various styles.

Under his self-titled Dark Techno project, Lucas Castro released three tracks on German labels and performed at events within São Paulo’s underground scene, such as Clube dos Lenhadores (back when it took place at Boteco das Antiga), Vortex 323 (1st edition), Techno Bass, Freak House, Mortal Techno, among others. He also organized the now-defunct La Pomme and the Techno 495 project, in addition to having briefly taught at Oficina DJ.

After a short hiatus, Lucas resumes his artistic journey, seeking to translate into his sets the sonic aesthetic he has been shaping over the years. This is the case with his set for Vørtice: recorded on his Xone:K2 with a custom mapping on Traktor, it presents a blend of his past and recent Dark Techno research, reflecting the sound and intensity of his project.

About @therealcau

The mechanical symphony

Get ready to dive into a dense, distorted, and dark universe. With roots in industrial and hard techno, he builds atmospheres that vibrate like machines about to collapse.

DJ and producer, his work fuses intense and melancholic tracks with raw textures, fast rhythms, and bass that resonates like twisted steel. It is the sound of a mind corroded by tension, a soundtrack for ruins and delusions.

His sets are immersive experiences.

Each beat drives the dance floor like an overloaded engine, generating tension, frenzy, and movement. The energy is raw, hypnotic: the atmosphere, industrial and pulsating.

Exploring chaos with surgical precision, Cau delivers a fusion between the darkest raves and the brute force of techno, creating something provocative, intense, unmistakable, and unique.

@jamylle-music

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is incorporated into conscious life, the darker and denser it will be.”

Inspired by Jung's quote, Jamylle transforms this philosophy into music, where techno becomes the soundtrack to a dive into light and darkness.

Born in Florianópolis in 1993, her relationship with music began early, at age 11, when she got her first guitar.

Self-taught, she explored rock, jazz, and blues before finding in electronic music the perfect space to express her dark and visceral aesthetic.

Her sound moves mainly between hard techno, raw techno, and peak time techno—lines that sustain her musical identity and translate the intensity of her aesthetic.

With a raw, heavy, and hypnotic sound, her sets explore the contrast between chaos and catharsis, inviting the audience to dance with their own shadows.

Her style combines the dense and brutal side of techno with dynamic passages that provoke both introspection and euphoria.

In her performances, Jamylle doesn't just play: she creates a sound ritual that confronts, liberates, and reframes the shadow within each of us.
