Don't DJ

**Don't DJ** is the experimental electronic project of German artist Florian Meyer, a key figure in Dresden's vibrant underground music scene. Operating at the intersection of techno, ambient, and global rhythmic traditions, Meyer crafts intricate soundscapes using tape loops, polyrhythms, and warped textures that feel both ancient and futuristic. Since emerging in the 2010s as part of the Uncanny Valley collective, Don't DJ has become synonymous with challenging dancefloor conventions through releases like *Fashion* and *Hexentrix*, often weaving non-Western percussion patterns into hypnotic, genre-defying compositions.

Known for cerebral albums like *Musique Acephale* and collaborative works such as *Plafond 3*, Meyer’s work feels like a cryptic audio travelogue – equally suited for headphone meditation or avant-garde club environments. Recent releases like *Laniakea* and *All Love Affairs Fail but They Never End* continue to push boundaries, cementing Don't DJ’s reputation as a sonic alchemist who transforms cassette hiss, fragmented melodies, and percussive collisions into strangely danceable rituals.
