A standout from the EP, ‘Money Transfer’ is a stripped-back yet potent techno roller, delivering pulsating low-end, crisp percussion, and a relentless groove designed for peak-time warehouse sessions. With a career spanning decades across London, Milan, and Ibiza, Esse’s refined touch is evident here—balancing hypnotic tension with subtle, evolving textures to create a track that’s both immersive and floor-focused.

Esse’s journey through techno has seen him regularly at legendary venues like fabric, The End, Space Ibiza, and Guendalina, as well as co-founding the underground ZUM event series. His releases on Life & Death, Sleaze, Leftroom, and Trapez have established him as a force in the genre, and with ‘Still Moving’ marking his arrival on Beard Man, his forward-thinking approach continues to push boundaries.

Stream ‘Money Transfer’ now on Data Transmission, and get ready for the full ‘Still Moving’ EP release on 7th February 2025.

We premiered it on NUDE Techno, check it out here and grab it on Beatport!

A consummate Hard Techno banger laced with retro, rave-inspired sounds, this reimagination of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ perfectly embodies everything that has made DIØN one of the genre’s most appealing breakthrough talents. Building around its core of pounding kicks and relentless percussive drive, the track’s continuum of unpredictable variations, especially its nostalgic rave siren sequence, make it an unparalleled peak-time stomper, built solely for demanding dancefloors and potent sound systems. 

The original version of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has been a definitive indicator of DIØN’s exponential popularity, racking up several million streams across all available platforms and breaking into Beatport’s illustrious Top 100. With big boots to fill, 2024’s long-awaited revamp of his most significant release has already started to spark hype amongst his fans and the wider Techno community. Just as he did with the original, the Hard Rework of ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ has featured exclusively in DIØN’s sets for months, making it the only place anyone has heard it. The intense and continuous demand for an official release date, which stretches back deep into DIØN’s jam-packed 2023 gig schedule, clearly indicates how sought-after his anthemic releases and undeniably memorable performances are fast becoming. 

Further adding to the occasion and marking a monumental second release on his Rough Material imprint, DIØN has also designed a limited number of label-branded ‘PUBLIC ENEMIES’ Bomber Jackets, Hoodies, and T-shirts to be released alongside the single on 29th March.
