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. Instead, he was getting busy making us a nice little mix to chow down on while eating our smashed avocado on toast. This mix is bloody delish and you aren't going to miss a second of it!

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. We have been trying to steal Ruby for our podcast series for the longest time and she has finally come through with the goods to bring us this awesome mix. 

Keep an eye on everything from Ruby here:

Mish'Chief has been a stalwart of Melbournes Techno scene for a long time. If you looked behind the cage at My Aeon you might find her tucked away in her rave corner. If you have turned on KISS FM at any point in the last few years you would have definitely found yourself listening to one of her shows. Safe to say Mish is part of the furniture for Dance music in Melbourne

Mish has kindly put together a fine selection of Techno tracks and blended them into one nice little mix for us at Empress Records. Let's get rid of your lockdown blues and get back into the world with this week's episode.

A.R.Lloyd is known for his ability to create amazingly smooth and hypnotic mixes. On this episode of the Empress Podcast, we head to a happier place that features some of the tracks that have got AR dancing in his bedroom. This is the mix that we all need right now!

So it is finally time for Suppressor to stand up and bring something to the table for the Empress podcast. This mix is unlike the usual driving/hypnotic Techno that Suppressor is known for, taking a more subdued and brooding path. Best played on the morning after to bring you back into this world.
