We all crave those rare moments on the dancefloor when the hair on your arms stand up, your stomach backflips, and suddenly you’re transported into a paradise of absolute euphoria. Few artists can pull off the feat each time they step up to the booth, but Durtysoxxx is an MVP in the sport. Let’s not place too many labels on him, though, because he has enough: DJ, producer, label head, and agency owner, among many others – it’s a surprise he has time to even create the aural soundscapes he’s so notorious for. Among the creative minds who ensure that the techno genre keeps moving forward, he’s something of a tastemaker. While he creates delicious creations for our ears, he’s equally skilled as a performer – taking the audience for a ride they didn’t even know they wanted. Once he steps up, don’t expect to just become another passive clubgoer. Think pleasurable supersonic booms mixed with swelling, groovy melodies and ominous vocals, and you have the essence of the Durtysoxxx experience. Each selection takes the audience further along their descent, building towards a tracklist of mostly unreleased music. His search for uncharted sonic territory has earned him the reputation of an innovator, while his respect for tradition ensures his tastes remain in high regard. Durtysoxxx need not look to the future; he and his colleagues are already there. For a glimpse of what lies ahead, keep him on your musical radar.
