Dyno is a techno DJ and producer based in Italy whose been releasing music since the ‘90s, and worked with labels ranging from UMEK’s 1605 to Coyu’s Suara. He also runs a label called Dyrwalk and via the imprint recently put out a new deep, dark and hypnotic release called Selva Oscura, which featured two of his own tracks. Excited to learn more about him, we invited Dyno to run through a few questions…
Hi Dyno, it’s great to be talking with you today. Where are you currently based?
Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I’m based in Pesaro, Italy, which is a small city between the sea and hills. In the beginning of my career, I moved my studio around between basements, garages and other buildings, but now I’ve a permanent set up in the hills near my home.
Could you describe your sound and style of music?
I’m very attached to analogue and old school sounds, but also blend in new digital sounds.
Mainly I produce techno, but my style is not always focused on just one style, especially when I’m experimenting with my analogue synths. Usually, my tracks are quite dark with a lot of energy, but I’m open minded, and make what feels right in the moment.
How did you first discover electronic music, and who are some of your main influences?
When I was a child, I loved listening to radio stations using my headphones. I was always excited by electronic sounds, which I later discovered were made using synthesisers. Around this time, my favourite song was “Stripped” by Depeche Mode. Even today, I still get goose bumps when listening to it, especially at two and half minutes, where it’s so good that I completely lose my mind. I also got influenced by other tracks such as “Radio Ga Ga” by Queen, “Save A Prayer” by Duran Duran, “21st Century Boy” by Sigue Sigue Sputnik, and lots more…
One day in a local music shop, I asked for them to recommend me some CDs of good electronic music. It was this point when I first heard “Phaedra” by Tangerine Dream, and from then I had no doubt that electronic music would be my future passion.
I understand that you recently dropped a new EP called Selva Oscura, could you tell us about the tracks and concept?
Selva Oscura consists of two deep and dark tracks with solid reverberation, searching for a deep and detailed sensation to impress the listener. This production was born from reminiscing about my passion for vinyl, and thinking about the illegal raves I DJ’ed at in the ‘90s.
What’s your studio setup like, and what are your favourite bits of equipment?
I’m now stable in my new studio located the middle of the hills, and I’m so happy that hopefully I won’t have to move it again. I design it meticulously, taking into account all the acoustic details plus shape of the room. It’s a pentagonal room with a 32 channel analogue mixer, three different sets of studio monitors, Audioscope Spectrum analyser and several original analogue synthesisers from Roland, Korg, Moog, Yamaha and others. I also use multiple effect pedals plus some other outboard gear, and I like using my analogue sequencer and modular synths. To complete the setup, behind my studio seat is a wall with thousands of vinyl records.
Can you tell us about your label Dyrwalk, as I’d live to know when you set it up, and which artists you have worked with?
Dyrwalk was a project started in 2010 with the aim of mainly releasing my own tracks. The label is a place where I could release music that I wanted to release without having to make tweaks or changes requested by other people, and have the freedom to experiment with new sounds and ideas. I’ve also released with many other labels, and across all those imprints I’ve worked with UMEK, Oliver Koletzki, Max Cooper, Sisko Electrofanatik, Solee, T78, Alex Dolby, Meat Katie, John Fleming, Khainz, Alex di Stefano and many more…
What other labels have you worked with, and what’s the release you are most proud of?
I’ve worked with lots of labels in my career including 1605, Suara, Bush Records, Traum, Yoshitoshi, Global Underground, Gain Records, JOOF Recordings, Mondo Groove, Hell Yeah, Mantra Vibes, Incorrect and many others…
To be honest, I’m most proud of two publications that are not actually techno. I like to call them my two tripping albums, as they are both very atmospheric, and I dedicated a lot of time to working on them. I’ve listed them both below…
Dyno – Pic Nic Nello Spazio – Hell Yeah Recordings
Dyno – Synthònia – Mondo Groove
What do you like to do away from music?
I’m a passionate collector and player of vintage videogames, so whenever I’ve some free time, I start to play!
What’s planned for the remainder of 2021 going into 2022?
In a few weeks, I’ll be releasing an EP on Gain Records with four new tracks, then at the end of the year I’ll be putting out a collection of my favourite productions from 2021, which will also include two previously unpublished tracks. In 2022 I’ll start to work more on experimental electronic music, which I’ll do in parallel to my new techno releases.
For anyone visiting your hometown, can you recommend a good place for food and favourite place to hang out?
If you want to eat good, and genuine Italian food, then here are my suggestions for good restaurants in the hills near my home Osteria del Giogo, Il Pergolato dalla Maria and La Vacchia Cantina. Nearer the sea, you can also find several good fish restaurants. I also love going into the some of the small taverns in the historical centre of Pesaro. If you want to have get some scenic views of the landscape, then you should also visit port side of the town.
Thanks for chatting today, is there anything else you would like to add before we finish?
Thanks for the interview, greetings also to all The Partae readers, and of course to people that support my music. It was a pleasure. Thanks Again.

Throughout 2021, Nina Las Vegas’ curated events moniker NLV Presents has put together an ongoing, curated mix series that aims to highlight some Australia’s best and brightest underground DJ’s. We’re now six months into the series, with a new mix released via Apple Music in the last week of each month. Last month, Wiradjuri woman Kritty took over, blasting a high-energy collection of tracks that reflect NLV Records’ ethos of repping underground club music. In September, Gamiliraay woman and sistergirl Emma Bastable AKA crescendoll is setting the pace. |

Visuals by Kris Andrew Small
Emma is a Trans and First Nations advocate and solicitor based in Warrang (Sydney). During the day, she works as a solicitor at a community legal centre. She works predominantly on cases centred around homelessness, discrimination law, and policing – particularly in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
By night, she can be found both behind and in front of the decks at a range of electronic and queer club nights across the town.
As a DJ, Emma’s connection to music runs deep. She is interested in the idea of dance music as rebirth, and the power music holds in being able to construct and deconstruct some of life’s bigger themes, including death, creation, destruction and healing.
Her passion for representation remains central to everything she does, which is why her mix for NLV Presents is so important. “This is a mix recorded in Warrang during a period of really heavy news and lockdown,” Emma explains.
“I’ve also been doing a lot of thinking around the role of club music and dance in exploring and connecting with my identity, as a sistergirl and queer and trans woman, and the ways in which clubs and dancefloors serve as spaces in which we can think about and create new ways of being and existing, but which also are inherently political and can be problematic in terms of gentrification, lack of accessibility, and white, cis, able-bodied bodies being privileged.
“In this spirit, I wanted to dedicate this mix to The Block in Redfern and recognise the pivotal role it’s played in celebrations of First Nations culture, art and music, and the real trauma our community has experienced in its redevelopment and the ousting of activists, including the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
“I invite the listener to remember that, pretty much wherever we are, we exist on stolen land, to recognise the role that bla(c)k people have played in the development of club music, and to celebrate the achievements of POC DJs, event organisers, and dancers. Hope you enjoy!”
Emma’s mix expertly blends sounds of resistance with a ferocity that can only be felt by something with such purpose. Tracks from Ariel Zetina, Merca Bae, Tygapaw, DJ SWISHA and Kush Jones sit neatly in this expertly tempered mix.
NLV Presents has continued to thrive due to Nina Las Vegas’ passion for bringing the sounds of the underground to our ears, with Kritty’s mix being another example of how much amazing talent is right at home.

Having released their internationally acclaimed debut album, ‘Daydream‘, rising Australian music stars, The Buckleys, return with ‘Woodstock69’ — an ode to one of the most monumental moments in music history. It features a beautifully curated music video that was directed by the youngest band member, Molly Buckley who shot the video at Chris Murphy’s beloved Ballina property, Sugar Beach Ranch. Woodstock69 delivers one of the many highlights from their full-length album.
Listen to Woodstock69
‘Woodstock69’ perfectly captures the Byron Bay siblings’ exquisite song-writing and feel-good foundations. Written by Sarah Buckley, Phil Barton (Nashville’s Music Row Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year) and Dave Thomson (co-writer #1 hit ‘Champagne Night’ by Lady A) and scheduled for release on Petrol Records / UMe, ‘Woodstock69’ is a nostalgic love letter to live music and the impact it has had on their lives and fellow performers.
With the band’s signature authenticity and aura of liberation, Sarah’s alluring vocal palette, paired with both the charming instrumentals and finely crafted videography results in a stunning audio-visual aesthetic that sways between snippets of the sibling trio and original footage from the famous 1969 Woodstock festival.
“Beyond Woodstock, this song is reminiscent of the times we all stood in packed crowds, singing songs, holding the hands of strangers, and dancing together. It’s a song that embodies the excitement we have for when we all get to do this again. This is our love letter to live music and the impact Live Music has had on all of our lives.” The Buckleys
Whilst Australia is currently unable to host live events, the band has not lost their creative spirit and recently launched the Soulfood Sessions – performing all their favourite cover songs from their home studio, Soulfood Studios which can be viewed through their YouTube channel. The performances are reminiscent of their virtual live tour with Live Nation last year that exposed the band to over 5 million viewers globally.

Surf-N-Burn – the bodacious 1997 debut album by the classic surf trio Blue Stingrays – has rocked, rattled and rolled since its original release on Epitone Records. Twenty-four years later and long out of print, Epitone is re-releasing the album on vinyl today.
Upon its original release, the members of Blue Stingrays were touted as iconic yet anonymous surf rock pioneers. Now, after decades of whispers and speculation, the identities of these mysterious musicians have been officially confirmed as guitarist Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers/Fleetwood Mac/The Dirty Knobs), bassist Ron Blair (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and drummer Randall Marsh (Mudcrutch).
Two outtakes from the original ‘Surf-N-Burn’ recording sessions were recently unearthed and are being released digitally alongside the vinyl re-release. “Grits and Eggs” keeps a steady, low key vibe while “Dawn Patrol” will inspire you to boogie to the beach with your board.
Like those who roamed the globe and found the perfect wave, Blue Stingrays nailed the perfect sound when their first twang rang ‘round the world on their now legendary debut. To quote the original Surf-N-Burn vinyl jacket sleeve: “The most profound expression of the human condition ever communicated through art, the passion in man’s soul expressed through surf guitar and captured on record!”

“lands somewhere between the sonic extremes of her previous work, marrying heavy distortion with sticky pop hooks.” – NEW YORK TIMES
“nine tight, hook-focused songs that favour front-to-back consistency over constant mayhem — drawing on uptempo grunge (‘Lessen the Damage’), pop-punk (‘Mean’), new wave (‘Hysteria’) and shoegaze-y dream-pop (‘As Strange As It Seems’) in satisfying bursts.” – SPIN
“Poppy has well and truly earned her spot amongst the greats of the alternative scene” – Wall Of Sound
Poppy has just released her new album Flux via Sumerian Records. The album is another ambitious leap for the ever-evolving musician, putting a renewed focus on a stream-lined songwriting approach that puts her indelible vocal melodies at the foreground of a kaleidoscopic mosaic of overdriven guitars.
To help bring her vision to life Poppy brought in acclaimed producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Deafheaven, Jimmy Eat World) who had the band record live to tape, accentuating the warmth of the arrangements and lending a decidedly personal touch to the new set of material. The album was preceded by self-directed videos for “So Mean,” “Flux” (which featured a pastel dream world constructed by Australian visual/sculpture artist Pip & Pop), and a video by accomplished stop motion animator/director Chris Ullens (Rex Orange County, Lee Ann Womack) for “Her.” With each visual she has deepened the world of the album, revealing a world brimming with blisteringly sunny vocal melodies and saturated sonics.
2021 has proven to be a landmark year for Poppy, kicking off with a stunning GRAMMY performance in March (celebrating her nomination for Best Metal Performance, the first solo female artist ever nominated in the category), her global livestream event The Last Disagreement in April, the May release of her cover of Jack Off Jill’s “Fear of Dying,” and multiple appearances on WWE NXT, the most recent of which culminated with her announcing the surprise drop of a five song EP, EAT – NXT SOUNDTRACK.
On top of it all she was just announced as the cover artist for the latest issue of Kerrang & launched a collaboration with acclaimed Harajuku Japanese accessories company Q-pot, in addition to her recently announced collaborative line of shoes with Koi Footwear and her ongoing role as the face of Viktor and Rolf’s blockbuster fragrance Flowerbomb with L’Oreal.
