Dylan Drazen (US)

For over 30 years, Dylan Drazen has fiercely forged his own path through underground techno. From New York to Spain, and now Detroit, he has built an international reputation for technical mastery, musical depth, and uncompromising authenticity.

By the late 1990s, Spain had already taken notice of his visionary methods and distinctive sound, making him one of the early architects of its nationwide underground scene. From his New York base, he logged over a million air miles while touring internationally. He went on to headline Awakenings Festival three times, performing throughout Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Colombia, while releasing original productions and remixes on influential labels including Clicktracks, Ascend, Blueline, Remains, and Ultra Records.

In recent years, Dylan returned his focus to the DJ booth with the launch of The Techno Files podcast before relocating to Detroit in 2025, the birthplace of the music that first inspired him. Within his first year as a Detroit resident, he was already performing for Detroit Techno Militia, Bang Tech 12, and CODA Events, along with multiple appearances at Spot Lite, SPKRBOX, and TV Lounge.

In 2026, he secured a slot at the renowned Tec-Troit Festival, sharing the lineup with one of his lifelong heroes, Mad Mike Banks of Underground Resistance.

New York-bred, globally seasoned, and now Detroit-welcomed, Dylan Drazen continues to demonstrate how three decades of sonic mastery, experience, and musical influence can be brought to brilliant life in a single set.
