Quoting from the release of his recent double LP on Gothenburg's iDEAL Recordings, "DUNGEON ACID being part of most good things coming out of Sweden since the 80s; from his teen days playing in Cortex and filthy crust punk with Anticimex and touring the UK in a van with no seats with Napalm Death, to early electronic dance music experiments with Lucky People Centre, ritual rock tribalism with The Skull Defekts, and electro-acoustic sessions with people like Zbigniew Karkowski and CM von Hausswolff. His back catalogue is sick, and great. This double vinyl LP is the top of a mountain containing tracks from 2010-2018, contemporary techno aimed at the dance floor filled with skills, personality, warmth, history and future."
DUNGEON ACID performs live for INTERZONE's club night at Good Room Friday October 18 presented by Lost Soul Enterprises!

OKO DJ is a force to be reckoned with even outside of her own artistry: she's the co-founder of leftfield Parisian party crew Bruits De La Passion, an active member of Judaah's Lyon-via-Marseilles operated BFDM label and head of LYL Radio's Parisian antenna where she hosts her monthly show Pu$$y Nightmare - focused on casting a broader, more comprehensive light on female artists. She is first and foremost a killer DJ though, as this incendiary mix for Dekmantel shows, whose eclectic sets traverse all of our favorite IZ genres via expert selections and crate-digging gems. OKO DJ will be playing Weird Science's Saturday day-into-night party at Magick City during INTERZONE! Photo by Amaud Ancel
