Lady Tazz projects the kind of high-impact, provocative energy that disrupts the status quo. Finding the sensual sweet spot in hypnotic, impactful techno, her sound is a perfect balance of peak-time energy and playful intrigue deployed to take the dance deeper and incite liberation amongst everyone in earshot. Born in Montreal, where she was originally schooled, a Tomboy at heart, she was the eldest in her family, of all daughters, her family moved back to Bangladesh when she was 9, so her father could teach her how to run their family business, shadowing him day to day, she learned at an early age. When she was 19, Tazz returned to Toronto where she finished her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Physics, alongside a scholarship for tennis where she played for the University’s team for 3 years. It was during this time she was able to travel to Europe, and discovered cities including London and Berlin, and like most teenagers, found clubbing and nightlife becoming a regular part of lifestyle outside of studies. She was a regular at Guverment Club in Toronto, and still claims this to be one of the best night clubs she has ever been to. It was at this club she learned about DJ’s with their international acts, as well as really started to fall in love with everything about the music culture. Taking over the family business at the young age of 22, promoted a move back to Bangladesh, it was at this same time she started her own weekly radio show, that shortly became one of the biggest in the region, with over a million listeners. It opened the world of radio to her, where she invited top celebrities, musician and politicians. Raised by a traditional family, a career as a DJ was not deemed a respectable career choice, so her trips to London were kept a secret, where she started to play a lot of illegal raves in the city in the 2000’s. She felt conflicted emotions about rave culture, as she knew the backlash of making these choices would be considered disrespectful, so quit the radio and decided to make something more official, Mind Medizin was born. Mind Medizin’s event series soon started to take shape and generate a following, with shows starting out in South America, Mind Medizin events have grown to become a global enterprise, sharply curated by Tazz to feature fellow techno provocateurs well outside of the identikit trappings of business techno. Bathed in red light, front by performance artists clad in steel and leather, these events are hardwired towards a feverish kind of freedom. She has since developed the brand into a label, which serves as a natural vehicle for her creative output. Tazz is unapologetic in her disregard for the so-called rules of modern techno, because she has to break with tradition to engage with the music in the first place. She loves her Bangladeshi heritage but is also realistic in the societal limitations of what she can achieve there. The stakes were high, but Tazz embraces risk to realise her vision. An artist who is working tirelessly in pursuit of pleasure and profound sonic transcendence. The truest art demands to exist against all odds, and Lady Tazz celebrates her hard-won liberation with no room for compromise.

Slam – Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan – are the unapologetic architects of raw, deep, hypnotic techno. As co-founders of Soma Records and hosts of Slam Radio (now surpassing 600 episodes), they’ve shaped underground sound for over 30 years, carving out a legacy as true pioneers and tastemakers. SLAM’s first album in seven years, Dark Channel, erupts from a fierce, three-week live-setup sprint – modular synths, Roland TR-909, Ableton Push and outboard effects – delivering peak-time weapons honed to perfection. From the tribal command of “Use It, Lose It” and the discordant thrust of the title track to the thumping low-end odyssey of lead single “Kulture Version,” every cut is a no-compromise tribute to the dance floor as sanctuary. In a fractured, dystopian 2025 – where division and disconnection reign – Dark Channel stands defiantly as rhythm-driven resistance. Out now on Soma Records (digital and limited-edition double 12″ vinyl), it’s Slam’s fiercest manifesto yet: a hypnotic journey reminding us that on their airwaves and in their music, unity and release are always possible. Enjoy this exclusive mix from the boys and check out their interview on IG.

Lola Cerise is a French DJ based in Paris, who was born into a family of creatives — her mother was a classical musician, and her uncle a chief orchestra conductor who worked with artists like Mstislav Rostropovich. She learned piano as a child but embraced a rebellious streak inherited from her mother, which led her to explore her own path. In her teenage years, Lola Cerise became a regular at illegal raves, where she discovered acidcore, tribal, and tribe core. Lola has spoken openly about her mother’s battle with depression following her parents’ divorce. That experience deeply shaped her independent mindset and hardworking attitude. Ironically, it was also her mother — who had herself dropped out of classical music school and joined Germany’s early techno scene — who supported Lola’s eventual career pivot into music. At 18, Lola moved to Lyon to study art and pursued photography professionally. She later dropped out of university, supporting herself by modeling for brands like A.P.C., Eric Tibusch, and Silvian Heach. After a few years, she realized photography wasn’t her calling and relocated to Australia, where she spent three years. During the pandemic, she reconnected with rave culture and began DJing — picking up professional gear from closing clubs. Within a year, she started producing and made a bold decision: to leave everything behind and start over in Paris, dedicating herself fully to music. Lola Cerise has since released on Gomboc Records, Comme des les Films, Khazad Records, and Record Union. Supported by the likes of Indira Paganotto, I Hate Models, and Cera Khin, she also landed a residency at the legendary Gotec Club and launched her own label, First Date Without Panties. Now cementing her name in the scene as a producer to watch, she’s delivered mixes for BCCO Berlin and a live stream with HÖR Berlin. In May, she’s set to release an 6-track mini-LP on Indira’s ARTCORE — a varied and exciting collection of tracks from the last two years that marks a milestone in her creative evolution. Lola’s music is a reflection of all her experiences — sometimes fast and intense, other times emotive and layered, but always with a narrative. Her mantra: “If it doesn’t make me smile, then I won’t finish it.”
