There’s now just one more sleep until we give @selektmt a proper Manchester welcome at the place we call home, our beloved DBA. The collective, spearheaded by @aspekthedip and @etched_mlt AKA Parallel Motive, have been active in the underground techno scene of Malta for over 7 years, and have made significant contributions to building the tight-knit techno community within the Maltese islands. Our collaboration in September was an incredible 24 hour adventure in a location that will forever remain undisclosed, but witnessing the Maltese community come together to make that event possible was an inspiring experience, and one we are very grateful to have been a part of. We spoke with the co founders to offer some insights into how Selekt came to be, its ethos, and goals with the collective. Parallel Motive open the bar at 14:00 tomorrow afternoon. For a taste of techno with a Maltese twist, this set, as well as those of Yazmin, Patient, and Limón, is where you should be. See you tomorrow ♥️

Limón is a Maltese DJ and producer with over a decade immersed in the electronic music scene. His journey began as an event promoter, helping shape the island’s underground culture before stepping forward as an artist in his own right. Known for his versatility, Limón moves fluidly between hypnotic techno and groove-driven house, always guided by a deep understanding of rhythm, space, and dancefloor energy. His productions released on @chain_records_mlt , where he is now a core member, and Diffuse Reality-blend dubby minimal textures with rolling, driving grooves that reflect both depth and intention. Whether behind the decks or performing live, Limón focuses on crafting immersive sonic journeys that prioritize connection, atmosphere, and flow. As his sound continues to evolve, he remains rooted in the underground-where rhythm leads and versatility defines the experience. Trust us when we tell you we’re all in for a treat on Saturday when Limón steps up to the decks. Final tickets over on Resident Advisor!

And so here we are, just a few days away from one of the most anticipated sets ever at HØL or The DBA. Kessie and Matrixxman very kindly offered some words looking ahead to Saturday, featuring a funny story of what Matrixxman experienced on his first visit to The DBA, how the b2b came to be, a few words to tease what to expect come 13:00 on Saturday afternoon, and more. It may be a slightly overused turn of phrase, but we genuinely think this is going to go down in the history books. Final tickets over on RA. Do not miss out on this.

Based in Manchester UK, Concierge has been richly submerged in musical prowess given the city’s past and present reputation for producing popular figures across a whole spectrum of genres. The culture of dance music is deeply rooted within the northwest region of the UK, providing a healthy platform to nurture artistic development. The evolution of dance carries a lot of weight on the city’s history which Concierge uses to drive his productions and performances, moulding his style to forge a modern perspective on Techno whilst retaining its core aesthetic. He navigates through a variety of textural, rough and ethereal landscapes to highlight his dynamic ability to incorporate an expansive range of techno (and more), placing them into a coherent narrative which glues his modernistic outlook on raw techno. His string of self-releases, Duplicity, Obskura, Crown, 01366 and forthcoming EP’s illustrates the amalgamation of influence from his environment. Holding residency at Iniquity & Formation (FKA The Bakery) in Liverpool provides a regular export to share hours of carefully choreographed dance cuts. This is a HØL debut we have been planning for a while. On Saturday night, his extended closing set will reveal exactly why. Releases to listen to: Krieger EP [Self Release] Common Ground EP [Crown] Inversion [Duplicity - Tertius VA] Division [Obskura - VA] Data Lake [01366 - VA] Famos Jr - Moving On (Concierge Remix) [Duplicity]

Matthew Bugeja aka @patient_dj is a DJ and producer from Malta whose journey behind the decks began at an early age, steadily refining a sound rooted in precision and intensity.
