From the UK we speak to rising star and cover feature Saytek. He is one of the underground’s most respected live techno artists, recently voted once again among the Top 10 Live Acts in Faze Mag’s public poll — Germany’s top dance music magazine.

I was into music long before I discovered dance music, but I remember being fascinated by it from a very young age. I must have been around seven or eight when early acid house records — and some of the more commercial end of that sound — started hitting the radio.

For me, it has to be USB, I used to like playing on vinyl, but there’s not much you can do with it. I did go through a phase of DJ’ing on Traktor and really enjoyed creating new versions of songs live but for me now I love the ease of USB just rocking up at a gig with headphones and that’s it.

I’ve been singing my whole life, so turning it into my main profession felt like a natural evolution. DJing came later—my sister encouraged me to start.

Melodic 14th Birthday – Alex O’Rion @ Yamamori Tengu, Dublin (Dec 12 2025)
Fourteen years in and Melodic are still doing things the right way. This wasn’t a nostalgia night, but it also wasn’t afraid of the past. The classics landed because they were earned, not because they were wheeled out for cheap reactions. That balance is hard to pull off. It’s also why this night worked.
