Purgatorium live @ Amsterdams Most Wanted

Two Amsterdam locals, one booth, and a total refusal to stick to the rules. Both born and raised in Amsterdam, Marco Aurelio and Daniel Englisch join forces for a back-to-back session that defies the standard club blueprint. This recording is a raw dialogue between two of the city's most authentic selectors, moving far beyond predictable tracks. While the heart of the journey beats to the pulse of underground techno, the duo refuses to stay anchored to a single tempo. As the set unfolds, the mechanical drive of the kick drum begins to shift, warping into jagged electro basslines and deep dub textures that transform the room's energy. Just as the atmosphere reaches a fever pitch, the rhythm fractures entirely, spiraling into the high-velocity breaks of jungle and drum and bass. Marco and Daniel navigate these shifts with intuition and blending the grit of Amsterdam's with a fearless approach.

From Morocco, where the desert learned rhythm before machines. This is not a DJ set, it’s a transmission. Techno is the vehicle, and the scenery is the signal. This is Marco Aurelio, If you hear this, you’re already connected.

Live performance recording during the AMW Live Sessions on 12-09-2025 Melånist is Utrecht based live techno artist. Known for his passion for live techno, which shows trough the projects he's running in the Netherlands, he's now back on track with his own live sets. He's bringing back the more old school approach to techno. Which is raw, pure and energetic. With his modular setup he creates a new experience every time he performs where tension and release are the main focus. Expect high energy, raw drums, atonal synths.

What a ride. This is my live set recorded during the AMW ADE Marathon 2025, pure energy from start to finish. Amsterdam was on fire, and the crowd made this one unforgettable. Expect a deep dive through driving techno, rolling grooves, and those euphoric moments that make ADE so special. Massive love to everyone who came, danced, and shared the vibe. If you were there, you know. If not, turn this up loud and relive the madness.

The night fell heavy over Sidi Slimane, the ancient city pulsing quietly at the edge of the Gharb plains. It was here, where the earth held centuries of secrets and the Sebou River whispered to the reeds, that DJ Marco Aurelio arrived. In an abandoned railway station tagged Station 45500, the ritual began. The first beat echoed: "Zerhoune Pulse". A low-frequency drone cracked the silence. Inspired by the nearby mountains where mystics once wandered, the sound was ancient yet electric, tribal yet surgical. It sets the rhythm of the night — primal and progressive. Get ready for a communion of techno culture by Marco Aurelio.

His name is Freek, aka Snowflake. Born in Tilburg, but living in Den Bosch for years. He started organizing hip hop events, but his love for electronic music has always remained. Through countless legal and illegal raves and festivals his love only grew and as he got older, he started playing techno. DJing has been in my life since he was a child. Styles like groove, industrial, Detroit, tribal and a touch of acid or ghetto are right up his alley. And with some bouts of euphoria and trippiness. Some techno artists who have inspired him or still do are Truncate, Mark broom, Dj Rush, Speedy J, Anetha, Nene H, Robert Hood, Ben klock, Carista and Mama snake. Follow Snowflake via @freek-vd-riet

AMW Live Sessions is where techno is born live—no DJs, no presets, just artists and machines. Drum computers, synths, and sequencers wired into the moment. Raw, unfiltered, high-stakes performance. Every set is a one-time creation, forged in real time. This is Amsterdam’s underground, alive and mutating. No safety nets. No playback. Just pure, relentless sound. Enjoy the second hour with Dan Graveyard! Dan Graveyard started off as a punk turned jazz guitarist who wanted more. After some sonic exploration he started leaning more and more into electronic music. Wanting to get away from the computer and into more experimental realms, he ended up in dawless live setups. Mostly using Eurorack synthesizers and a drumcomputer to create improvised music on the spot. The result is dark groovy hypnotic techno. Follow Dan via @dan-graveyard

Marco Aurelio, a rippled journey through the empty void, a sound too strong to exist in the nothingness of space. Yet, somehow, there was a vibration felt by every atom in the vicinity, as though the very fabric of the universe had caught a vibration of Aurelio's specific sound. His fingers danced across the holographic controls, with his mind connected to the flow of the moment. The stars outside were just pinpricks of light, distant, cold. Inside, though, the air was electric. Aurelio always trusted the stars, but today, the stars seemed to be whispering something different. A figure out of place but his hands are a blur that alters sound waves, bending, and stretching them into existence. Not just a DJ set. It is a key, a doorway to something vast, something the universe had kept hidden for eons The music is the bridge, the connector, and the journey has only begun. It's an ancient code of awakening. Enjoy the ride!
