Elad Magdasi

Elad Magdasi has long been entrenched in the rave scene, first and foremost, as a dancer. It is precisely this edge which can be felt in the emotional fabric he weaves into his productions.

His works are wide-ranged and diverse, hailing from a true rave spirit. He deftly combines acid-line treatment with his his unique melodic point of view. It is his love for raving that keeps his mojo running whilst bringing inspiration to his life. After moving from Tel Aviv to Berlin in 2013, Elad evolved and ended up founding his own label - Front Left Records. The label is a collective of friends who dance together and celebrate techno weekly. All the releases come from artists who share the front left corner of a certain well known institution. When Elad is in the booth, his sets combine both modern and old techno, keeping the rhythm and synthesizers full throttle at all times.

Tin Man

      

The named master of the neo acid scene, Tin Man continues to evolve and invigorate with each and every release.

Tin Man is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Over the last decade now the man born Johannes Auvinen has explored an ever evolving sound palette that touches on house, techno and ambient. Much like his namesake’s character in the Wizard of Oz, he has been on a mission to find his true self, except this Tin Man’s medium has been music. Most recently the California born producer and live act has been responsible for reinvigorating the acid scene with his unique and cerebral manipulations of real Roland 303s. His tracks have been laced with slow and subtly shifting patterns that are infused with a very real machine soul and exude captivating warmth. Taking influences from “Chicago and radio pop rock as well as melancholic UK electronics and Sahkö” Tin Man’s extensive discography also explores less sublime and seductive sounds on labels like Keys of Life and Acid Acid, and plenty of raw sonics on albums like Scared. He is also part of The Acid Symphony Orchestra (a live super group that features artists playing on ten 303, 707 and 808) and has turned out a standalone neo-classical and ambient work, Vienna Blue, which proves he does so much more than pure dancing music. “I started fiddling with music when I was in college,” he says. “I was collecting records, anything electronic; from ambient to techno to computer music. When I was out of school, and had steady work, I bought some gear and then tried imitating the music I liked with mixed results.” Before long though he found a sound that was truly his own and has continued to do so over and over again ever since. This modern acid master plays live on 303s, 707s and plenty more bits of hardware, always creating textured soundtracks on the flying using a range of FX and skills built up over the last decade. He never fails to make people dance to his beat whether he’s playing festivals in Japan, influential clubs in Europe or dirty back rooms across America and puts most similar acts to shame.

Etapp Kyle

     

Since emerging (to most of the world) on Ben Klock's Klockworks label, Ukrainian producer and Dj Etapp Kyle immediately caught attention of Berlin's techno cognoscenti, with a sound that seemed perfectly fit for the Berghain school: taut, slyly melodic and just the right amount of funky.

Over the past ten years, he's refined his sound to a science, but also opened it up: his records on Ostgut Ton, particularly 2020's Nolove, showcase a mastery of sound and space.

He has been exploring different electronic music scenes, crafting house sets that has earned him a place on the world’s most respected stages and festivals, solidifying his reputation as a technically masterful artist.

.VRIL

      

Abundantly moving at the outer edges of electronic music, .VRIL’s sound is equally timeless and ahead of its time. .VRIL’s visionary electronics continuously developed over a discography that includes eight albums, numerous EPs, and a prolific catalog of remixes.

His debut LP, Torus (2014, Giegling), laid open a landscape of loops and spectral noises—sounds that remain strikingly relevant.

From the dystopian echoes of UV (2011, Ostgut Ton) to the ethereal depths of Anima Mundi (2018, Delsin), his work drifts with an almost supernatural fluidity across a variety of soundscapes. In 2024, his sixth LP, Saturn is a Supercomputer (Omnidisc), set a new benchmark, and brought forth a broader and more intricate spectrum of his signature style.

.VRIL thinks and acts freely. He is an artist who moves at the outer edges of electronic music, continuously reimagining its possibilities. The deep relationship with his machines creates an alchemy that is both intimate and otherworldly, resulting in chords and subtle sound textures that are recognizable yet somewhat unexplainable. He describes these sounds as “sonic reflections of the subconscious,” a testament to his singular creative vision.

Live, .VRIL’s performances can be a deeply felt experience. On the dancefloor, his contemporary techno and electro deliver cathartic energy—recognizable and always a little arcane. His reach, however, goes beyond club and festival settings, with ambient concerts designed for inward-gazing journeys and collaborative live jams with fellow artists. The project Out of Place Artefacts, alongside Rødhåd, explores experimental, improvisational soundscapes beyond traditional dance music.

A regular contributor to STOOR and Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live, .VRIL remains a central figure in the electronic underground. With a series of self-released dancefloor-oriented tracks and multiple projects in motion, the ever-unfolding “.VRIL-iverse” has surged with momentum.
