Episode 033: Hydergine

Hydergine, real name Roberto Corizzo, is an Italian DJ and producer whose name takes cues from a “smart drug used to improve the metabolism of brain cells and cognitive abilities”. Roberto’s productions and selections are often characterized by a combination of dreamy textures and raw elements.

He takes interest in the cognitive functions of the brain and with his music aims to ensnare the listener into a comfortable state of meditative immersion. Therefore Hydergine’s choices of sounds, tempo, groove and progression are selected appropriately.

Hydergine offers up soft, squishy and dubby atmospheres that reinvigorate our appreciation that techno doesn’t need to be aggressive and confrontational.

His mix provides music that puts you into an introspective state. As a result, you can almost feel your brain cells firing off when listening to it.

The Ranges and Subosc label owner is becoming prolific in his output

Hydergine has so far had 16 releases on labels such as Minimood, ETUI, Tiefenrausch, Knotweed, Separate Skills and of course Ranges and Subosc labels.

Aside from the Hydergine project, Roberto is the owner of the Ranges record label and co-owner of the Subosc Label. The Ranges label is a tribute to the reminiscent dub techno sounds of the 90s, whereas the Subosc is focused on modern techno music with a Detroit vibe.

The other co-owner of Subosc, Kalean, released the second mix for the Bomphcast series. You can listen to that mix right here.

Hydergine’s mix provides a soundscape with lashings of dub-techno and ambient beats, breathing fresh sounds into the podcast series.

We’re big fans of Italian techno, and this mix goes above and beyond what you’d expect from the dance-crazed country. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we have.
