STM 312 - DYL

Rumors of our demise were statistically probable, yet ultimately premature. For the past few years, Secret Thirteen has lingered in a self-imposed stasis—a deliberate pause to observe a scene that has largely traded patience for immediacy. When we began in 2010, the challenge was curation; today, the challenge is finding a signal amidst the noise. In an ecosystem now governed by transactional relationships and accelerated output, the art of the "mix" often feels reduced to a promotional utility.

We return, therefore, not with a schedule, but with an impulse. There will be no regular programming, only sporadic transmissions triggered by quality rather than obligation. To break this long silence required an artifact that defies the current economy of attention—something raw, uncompromised, and painstakingly constructed. It is fitting, then, that the signal re-emerges with DYL.

Eduard Costea (DYL) has long operated as a singular entity within the fractured landscapes of Drum & Bass and experimental electronics. Based in Cluj Napoca, Romania, Costea has built a reputation not by shouting the loudest, but by meticulously constructing intricate, rhythmically complex architectures over the
