DXL is a newcomer to the Melbourne electronic scene but fits all too well amongst the amazing new wave of talent that we can see spreading across the landscape. In a style where genre no longer has a place, DXL will take you into a place where you may find yourself a little scared, intrigued, and even turned on. Maybe that's just all of us at Empress Records...

The name sixheadslug is synonymous with some of the quickest and heaviest mixes in dance music right now. As the big bossman at No Sleep Till Bed Time, SHS has been at the top of his game working with some of the best hard dance musicians to create the well-renowned NSTBT podcast.
We managed to lock him down for our own Empress Podcast and pulled on the reigns to slow him to a Techno canter. This mix is a joy to listen to and you're going to love it.

Who doesn't like bread? Well, this guy definitely does but he didn't just spend his whole lockdown making the crusty goodness.

So we hear you like to dance? Well so does @rrruuubyy! The mastermind behind the @lushdanceparty series, bringing the music back to the South Australian countryside.

Defnd is an anomaly; one that you can never truly lockdown. When listening to their music you never really find yourself settled. You will find yourself searching for a groove and as soon as you have found it, there is another journey beginning. This set was developed and performed as one continuous record, which is why you will never hear anything like it again.
This week's artist is growing in popularity at lightspeeds, the European import is all things broken beat. noneohone has been stunning the jungle and breaks scene with his emotive yet driving dance music with recent remixes for close counters and a new radio show on area3000.radio.
