We’ve been fans of Hot Haus regular DJ Octopus since his hard-hitting debut on DJ Haus’ label in 2014.
Two years ago we premieried ‘Hangover’, a chugging lo-fi jam built for the club from his second EP on the imprint.
Since then, releases on Shall Not Fade, Chiwax and Unkown To The Unkown sublabel Hotshit Records have made the Italian a much sought-after DJ.
Never one to compromise, DJ Octopus has provided a stunning vinyl-only mix for Rome-based podcast Rebel Rebel that oscillates between steaming techno and get-down disco. This one’s for the heads.
Catch DJ Octopus with Francois X playing at Alien Club in Rome tomorrow night
