AZYR stars on the cover of Mixmag.

Breaking out from Blackpool b2bs to enrapturing thousands-strong arenas worldwide in four years, @azyr_music has hit the big time at the kind of face-melting pace usually found in his DJ sets. Undeniably the UK’s biggest hard techno export, the 26-year-old Northerner has ridden the wave of a feral dancefloor phenomenon.

In a rare moment of stopping for breath, he speaks to Megan Townsend about his ascent to the top and how he’s now fighting to stay ahead in an intensifying dance music landscape.

To mark his appearance on the cover, AZYR curated the first-ever Mixmag Lab London all-dayer at The Cause, heading up a line-up that also featured Nikolina, Faster Horses, Yasmin Gardezi, JOKESONYOU and The Muffin Man.

Once in a while, producers recognise that they’re sitting on gold. In the case of São Paulo’s @djcaioprince, it was his destructive club track ‘Botano (Útero Baixo)’ that sparked that realisation.

Produced alongside fellow Brazilian artists @mcluanna_, @mu540 and @djthiagomartins_ several years before its official 2024 release, Caio Prince thought it best to withhold the track from streaming services temporarily.

“It made people go crazy looking for it,” he jokes. “But one thing was certain – if you wanted to hear it, you had to come to our shows and experience it in real life.”

Today, Caio Prince is riding high off the sound of bruxaria, which he’s helped to send skywards – an offshoot of funk mandelão known for its ruthless, dark and industrial take on typical Brazilian funk music - a sound that Caio Prince now deals in on a regular basis.

Ahead of his performance at London’s @boanovafestival on May 22, we spoke to Caio Prince about the emerging and evolving sound of bruxaria, regaining queer inclusivity in the Brazilian funk scene, and the impact of viral success. He also delivers a turbo-charged mix celebrating the many mutations of Brazilian funk.

“My first curated event in the capital was nothing short of special. The energy from the very first track could be felt around the entire room, and my friends built up the night perfectly.

Brand new Leeds venue Mint XL, which comes from the team behind the city’s beloved Mint Club, has revealed a series of first-look photos of the 2,500-capacity space.

@mintxl_leeds owners have also confirmed the location of the new venue, taking over the former PRYZM nightclub site on Woodhouse Lane which is currently undergoing “extensive redevelopment”.

The official launch party for Mint XL will take place on Friday, September 25. Line-ups for the opening event have yet to be revealed.

The new venue will feature Funktion-One Vero soundsystems across its main rooms, and will operate with a “strict” no-phone policy on its dancefloors to “keep the focus on the music”. It’s promised to be Mint’s “most ambitious” project to date.

Blackpool-born DJ, producer and label head @azyr_music, real name Oliver Rowley, has experienced a warp-speed rise in the last few years. In 2022, he was putting on his own nights with his mates in his hometown. In March 2024, he sold-out an all-night-long show at Manchester’s 4,500-capacity BEC Warehouse in just eight minutes. A year later it was onto the 7,000-capacity Aviva Studios for Factory International’s first-ever techno event.

Since then, the pace has only grown more extreme: He’s closed Creamfields, Glastonbury’s Lonely Hearts Club, drawn in tens of thousands at Tomorrowland, garnered hundreds of thousands of followers and millions-upon-millions of streams. A face-melting bag of breakneck techno, hardstyle, acid, hard dance and schranz, combined with a distinctive stage presence — which often sees him cavorting and hollering, shirtless behind the decks — could go some way to explaining his mushrooming appeal.

But how did a lad from a struggling Lancashire seaside town go from playing B2B with his mates on a Friday night, to selling out arenas in under four years?

Blackpool-born DJ, producer and label head @azyr_music, real name Oliver Rowley, has experienced a warp-speed rise in the last few years. In 2022, he was putting on his own nights with his mates in his hometown. In March 2024, he sold-out an all-night-long show at Manchester’s 4,500-capacity BEC Warehouse in just eight minutes. A year later it was onto the 7,000-capacity Aviva Studios for Factory International’s first-ever techno event.

RIP German house icon Philipp Jung 🖤

The DJ, producer and label head was a mainstay of Germany’s house and tech-house scene, having been working in the music industry since the 1990s.

He co-founded the DJ and production duo M.A.N.D.Y. alongside childhood friend Patrick Bodmer. Taking up their first club residency in Frankfurt, a relocation to Berlin saw the duo establish the project as a staple of the city’s club scene, including releasing acclaimed Booka Shade collaboration ‘Body Language’ in 2005.

In 2002, Jung co-founded the label Get Physical Music alongside Bodmer, Booka Shade and DJ T. Together they grew the imprint into one of the most influential dance music labels in the world, dealing in muscular, rhythmic sounds primed sparking movement on the dancefloor, epitomised by its esteemed Body Language compilation series.

In 2018 Jung took a step back from M.A.N.D.Y. to focus on his personal health and wellbeing following years of touring. He remained active in dance music, launching the Get Physical sublabel METAPHYSICAL in 2020, focusing on full-length releases and deeper artist collaborations.

Having relocated to Costa Rica, in March this year he released the ‘Rewind Forward Vol. 1’ remix compilation. In an interview with @electronicgroove published last month, he spoke about looking forward to: “Having a baby pretty soon, taking one day at a time, and really enjoying life, still travelling, still curious about new talents and great parties.”

A cause of death has not been made public.

Close friend Damian Lazarus has paid tribute in a post on Instagram, describing him Jung as: “A beautiful, gentle, hilarious man with one of the kindest hearts, we did so much together across the years and his passing is a total shock, especially given how fit and healthy he has been since moving to Costa Rica. He was so excited to finally become a father for the first time at the age of 55 and we laughed so much about it the last time we spoke.”

His passing marks a significant loss to dance music. RIP Philipp.

No yapping! @joshbaker tells us his dream line-up from Open to Close.

Featuring tequila sodas, proper diggers and a classic back-to-back, the @bakersdozen.uk boss cooks up an Ibiza-inspired line-up live and direct from the White Isle.

Let’s get it! Cover star @azyr_music in the Mixmag Lab London airs tomorrow at 12:PM (BST).

Don’t miss the final set from his specially curated night at The Cause.

@skyline.festival’s Arts District stage got a major upgrade in its third year at their new home of Ace*Mission Studios in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles.

To our tastes, it’s the best looking and sounding stage at the festival, and it’s dedicated exclusively to local heroes. All major cities have these needle-moving artists who are integral to the health of dance scenes at ground level, but not often afforded the same renown as international touring DJs who fly in and capitalise upon that grassroots grind.

But to anyone familiar with LA’s underground, it will come as no surprise that the Arts District stage hosted many of the weekend’s best sets.

It also served as a place for new gen electronic music fans and seasoned partygoers to come together and learn a thing or two from each other. Physical spaces that empower these connections are becoming evermore necessary amid the social media stranglehold.

Tensions between big-ticket events and the underground exist, and for good reason, but the Arts District gave us hope that collaboration in a way that feels mutually beneficial and authentic can be done, if done right.

Launched in 2021, Body Language is the Berlin-based femme party spreading a message of resistance and positivity through charitable efforts, community building, and queer-friendly spaces.

Body Language proudly stays true to its values five years on, having donated €2 per attendee to grassroots charities at every single event since it began. “To this day, we’ve donated more than we’ve paid ourselves,” says co-founder Caitlin.

The non-profit party continues to run sporadically throughout the year with a run of femme and queer DJs, both Berlin-based and overseas, with music for “the house heads, the stomper ravers, the polyrhythms lovers, and the ones that love it faster or slower”.

In our 2022 Functions feature, we caught up with Caitlin, the brains behind Body Language, to hear how the Berlin party sets itself apart from the rest.

Body Language proudly stays true to its values five years on, having donated €2 per attendee to grassroots charities at every single event since it began. “To this day, we’ve donated more than we’ve paid ourselves,” says co-founder Caitlin.

The non-profit party continues to run sporadically throughout the year with a run of femme and queer DJs, both Berlin-based and overseas, with music for “the house heads, the stomper ravers, the polyrhythms lovers, and the ones that love it faster or slower”.

In our 2022 Functions feature, we caught up with Caitlin, the brains behind Body Language, to hear how the Berlin party sets itself apart from the rest.
