Fabrizio Lapiana is a well-known fixture on the contemporary Italian techno scene. His musical career started in his hometown Rome where he began collecting vinyl and DJ’ing in the early 90’s.
After being mainly active on the local scene, Fabrizio in 2008 started producing and founded his own imprint, the well renowned Attic Music. The label quickly expanded from hosting just Fabrizio’s work into also releasing other artists fitting his personal definition of techno. To date Fabrizio has over two handfuls of releases, Attic Music serves as home to some of these, but also other respected labels such as ARTS, Figure Jams and M_Rec Ltd to mention a few. His productions are often dark and hypnotic, yet at times they have brighter melodious elements, with each of these components smoothly entering as the tracks unfold.
However playing records to a live audience is still his favourite element. Fabrizio has honed and perfected his deejaying skills for over two decades, therefore being famous for his immaculate mixing technique. To create the setting he prefers, his sets travel from deeper to harder techno, darker pieces are introduced to more melodic ones and acid or old school gems get updated with new unheard material – these are some of the key ingredients for Fabrizio while creating an intimate journey for the listener.
Lapiana’s latest achievement as a composer is his debut album “Intraverso” released in February 2018. With this collection of nine songs the artist departs from his previously dancefloor-focused work into something new and far more personal than where he has ever been before. The album shows slower, down-tempo, ambient influenced and more thoughtful compositions, unraveling light, darkness, happiness and sadness. “Intraverso” reveals an artist shedding another layer of himself, showing a softer more vulnerable side to the world.

Italian-born producer Dino Sabatini is an artist who´s strong body of work has helped to develop his local scene, and redefine what it means to work with electronic music in the 21st century: though his sounds are completely modern, synthesized and rendered with crystal clear production, he continues to tend the deep roots of lost wisdom and mythology that have sustained human creativity for millenia.
The name of his label Outis, is taken from none other than Homer’s Odyssey (OYTIΣ, literally meaning “no one,” was the pseudonym that Odysseus used to succeed in his infamous deception of the cyclops Polyphemus). This choice of name is not just a clever title for Sabatini’s label, but is a very good indicator of his own character; working within the anonymous electric wilderness of techno, Sabatini continually goes beyond expectations by bringing the senses back into this world of automation and machines, occasionally invoking the names of the old gods (Poseidon) or goddesses / muses (Mnemosyne) along the way.

Emerging as one of the leading lights in modern Techno, Patrik Eriksson AKA Dold has risen through the ranks and become both respected and admired, not only in his native homeland of Sweden but across the Electronic music community as a whole.
Alongside live performance partner, Kuf – Eriksson established Arsenik in 2015, an outlet primarily dedicated to housing the pair’s own productions – but that has subsequently developed over the years to welcome in new artists, and as such become a widely supported source of dance-floor focused music.
As a producer, Eriksson’s productions exist at a potent aesthetic crossroads – looking both simultaneously at the more cerebral tenets of those outlier genre’s – namely Ambient, IDM & Electro – and uncompromising loop Techno with an intriguing subtlety – suggestive of a dynamic artist with a rich, deep palette capable of capturing truly unique introspective moments and translating them into an array of sonic experiences.
This young DJ & live performer bears all the hallmarks of Stockholm’s most recent success story – an artist at an exciting intersection in his career with a bright future unraveling. Whilst existing output on Arsenik, Blue Hour and MindTrip might already be turning heads across the Techno landscape – one feels the very best is yet to come.

Petter B is a Swedish DJ and producer based in Gothenburg and started out behind the decks back in 1996. 2012 he re launched his solo career after having been a part of the techno duo “Hertz” for ve years. Adam Beyer was the first to sign Petter B’s solo material to his well-known imprint Drumcode.
In 2013 Petter started his own imprint Bond. Bond is the result of the way he dj:s and thinks of music as a DJ. The way Petter sees it, all music has a purpose and makes out building blocks in his DJ performance. The driving idea behind Bond is therefor to create those blocks rather than complete full-on productions. When using these blocks the perception of a track can be changed every time it is played depending on how they are combined.
The unique bond that is created when tracks, loops and sounds are combined live is what fascinates Petter B as a DJ. Even though Bond is a young label, it has gained great support from many names in the techno scene. Up until today Petter B has released lots of tracks and remixes under diferent names and on various labels around Europe. His success in the industry has led to frequent gigs at events and clubs throughout the world.

On his debut album ”Vessels of Clay” he explores the meditative and experimental side of music with heavy inspiration by Suf mysticism poetry from the likes of Omar Khayyam, Rumi and modern masters like Sharam Nazeri in which he incorporates feld recordings, drones, and a minimalistic soundscape to create a deep inward exploratory state.

One interesting fact about hypnosis is that those most receptive to it are not the gullible and weak minded.
On the contrary, people of high intelligence and self-control are more likely to fall under the spell. According to psychologist Jeremy Dean, this is because the key to entering a hypnotic state is concentration. On the other hand, it’s also about the ability of letting go. A combination of focus and release. Patrick Siech’s process as an electronic music creator could well be described with the same words: Focus and release.
Patrick has built an entire Eurorack modular system around the philosophy of letting go of the controls and let the randomness of his machines lead the way – to act more as a listener than a producer or a technician.
Many DJs and artists swimming in the deep end of the house and techno pool are often said to be “taking the audience on a journey”. Patrick Siech, however, lets his vast array of music equipment take HIM on a journey – as much machine soul as possible with just enough human interference. Instead of acting the part of the bold explorer, in charge of a musical expedition into the unknown, Patrick Siech takes on the roll of the creative travel reporter, carefully listening, selecting and editing the exceedingly long live takes this approach yields. The result is a musical body full of life, quirks and unpredictability cleverly organized by Patrick in such a way as to function as a hypnotic and mind-altering force on any dance foor.
“I believe the entire purpose of the techno genre is to explore and create sounds, beats and settings that take peoples minds away from reality”, Patrick says.
“Combining this with dance and the club setting, you get a very powerful form of escapism. I love the possibility and also the demand for boundary pushing sound creation and exploration, that I believe is needed to constantly propel the genre forward. Escaping reality and reaching diferent states of mind through ritual music has been around for ages, but with help of synthesised sounds and experimentation, you are able to reach the next level of mindfuck.”
To be sure, this is what Patrick Siech has been aiming for from the very start. He begun spinning records in southern Sweden in the late ‘90s, making a name for himself as a club promoter and skilled DJ.
Almost twenty years later, this close connection and avid respect for the dance foor and its multitude of inhabitants is still at the very core of Patrick’s enterprise both as a DJ and a producer.
To connect with the crowd at an almost primal tribal level, to create a vibe of togetherness and exclusiveness, to hypnotize and unite all the individuals in the dance foor into one single collective mind.
These are the goals of Patrick Siech. Witnesses from countless secluded afterhours parties in Stockholm or Malmö can testify to his success, as can thousands of Berlin dancers in prestigious clubs like Berghain, Panorama Bar or Tresor. Once the connection is made, the capacity or prestige of the venue is nothing – the vibe is everything

Mull’s introduction to techno came when he was 16 and made a pilgrimage to Manchester, UK’s storied Hacienda nightclub, propelled by his interest in that city’s early ‘90s indie dance scene. He was refused entry to the club for being underage and ended up in a basement with garbage bag-covered walls, lit by a stroboscope, flled with smoke, and techno blasting. This was Mull’s frst encounter with the sound. “I had heard acid house, Balearic stuf, but I had a mental thing with techno,” he says. “The disharmony, the weird sounds, it was so intense. I got really hooked.”
Upon his return to his hometown of Stockholm, Mull’s pursuit of techno led him to dance record shops, techno parties, and the rave scene, where he immersed himself in the sound. At the same time, he started at an arts high school as a continuation of his musical upbringing: singing in a boy’s choir from when he was seven years of age where he practiced eight hours a day and performed every weekend. This was another factor that drew Mull to techno.
“I was very tired of the square way of seeing music and its rules,” he says. “What techno did was break rules. You didn’t have to be a musician in order to create techno. It was another way of making music: sampling, fltering, efects, generating colors. It made me explore music more, gave me courage to search for diferent methods to combine music. It was, in a certain way, chaos, and that was attractive to me.”
Befriending likeminded peers, Mull’s brotherly association with another techno stalwart, Adam Beyer, began in high school. Spending days listening to Beyer’s record collection, it was from him that Mull learned how to DJ.
In 1994 Joel moved to Germany, Hamburg and thatpśwhere he learned to control a foor. For the frst six months he was resident at club called Labor, in the north, then becoming the resident at Unit in Hamburg, between 1995-98. Here, he leared warmup sets, closings and also did Marathon sets up to 10hours.
“The way I see DJing is telling a story,” says Mull—who despite the multitude of stamps in his passport makes a point of playing in his hometown at least six times a year to stay connected to the scene from which he came. “Your identity as a DJ is your way of telling the story. You have so much power behind the mixer, controlling these frequencies, you can make people forget everything and just be there in the moment. It’s not about bringing the noise and hands in the air, that instant reaction. For me, it’s about taking your time to build something, taking the crowd—and yourself—to a diferent place. Techno is about that hypnotizing, long-spanning journey. It’s where I come from; it’s what I strive toward.”
Mull’s production know-how started and moves at the same pace as his DJing. His initial forays into making techno happened in Beyer’s home where the two of them and their friends pooled their resources to obtain classic pieces of outboard gear: a synthesizer and a sampler, which they plugged into Beyer’s mixer and started experimenting. Their trial-and-error eforts gained them enough recognition to start releasing music on a multitude of labels.
You heard Mull on Nicole Moudaber’s respected MOOD imprint and Sasha’s standard-bearing Last Night On Earth—a particular badge of honor for Mull who considers Sasha a major inspiration. Over the years his productions was released under various alias as Icarus, Damm and more recently under his darker techno guise Gotzkowsky, Mull released the track Shoulder of Orion, on the Berlin- based label, Dystopian.
He continues to be part of Beyer’s Drumcode family and in May 2019 the second collaboration with Heiko Laux on the label.
Today Mull regularly releases on a variety of labels and most recently on Parabel, his frst album in 8 years, Arrow of time, (2019). Arrow of Time is infuenced by themes of traveling, time and the future;
”There is a certain loose feeling when I write music and sketch on ideas while I’m in a moving object that is blasting throughout space, such as a plane or a train,” he says. ”These moments are more intense for me than working on ideas in the studio. [Arrow of Time] is both the time capsule that we all travel in and the journey that you do every time you listen to music.”
“Techno is not as rebellious as when it started,” observes Mull. “People used to not understand music being made with computers and synthesizers and not ‘real’ instruments. They didn’t consider it music. The kids that went to techno clubs only drank water and danced their asses of. The clubs couldn’t make money of of them.
He continues, “But techno was always the music of tomorrow. I knew that way back then. The formula of techno is so basic everyone catches it. At a time when you’re getting bombarded with media and diferent frequencies, techno streamlines everything, gathering people into one frequency that feels harmonic and united, a feeling of being together.”

Drumcode ltd / Mosh Musik
For ten years, Sandra Mosh has been an undeniable force in the electronic music scene, making a significant mark as a DJ, producer, radio host, and journalist. Hypnotic yet driving, melodic yet minimalist, Mosh’s sound is a dark sonic tapestry that has put her at the forefront of Sweden’s techno scene, infusing a distinct blend of jacking techno, 90’s tribal techno, and electro.
Sandra Mosh is a part of the Swedish techno agency and label, Parabel, alongside other techno heavyweights, including Joel Mull, Jesper Dahlbäck, Nima Khak, Joachim Spieth, and Mary Velo.
She currently holds a residency at X, an intimate techno club in Malmö, Sweden.
A prominent figure in the European techno club circuit, Mosh has played her trademark journeying interstellar DJ sets at many of Europe’s techno landmarks, including Berghain, Tresor, About Blank, and OHM.
In 2017, together with Patrick Siech, she embarked on a successful tour of the East Coast of Australia, while her high-energy DJ sets have earned her coveted spots at electronic music festivals throughout Europe, such as Sónar, KaZantip, Lollapalooza, and Way Out West.
From 2011 until recently, Mosh was a radio DJ and host on Swedish national radio, where she hosted her own highly influential DJ show at Musikguiden i P3 on Friday nights. Much like her DJ sets, the weekly program saw her expertly curate pounding techno, electronica, house, and ambient, creating a world that transcends the dancefloor.
As a producer, she has released tracks on various techno labels, including Drumcode Limited, Northallsen records, and Brothers Black. She also launched the label, MOSH Musik, as an outlet for her own techno experimentations. The first release was 2014’s Skallgång, followed by Skogsrave in 2015, and Kalabalik in 2018. Unmistakably techno, yet each unique in their expression, all three releases boast Mosh’s uncanny ability to combine pulsating rhythms, minimalist hook-laden arpeggios, and glacial atmospherics. 2021 will see multiple releases from a new collaboration between Sandra Mosh and Patrick Siech, the first being a 4-track EP entitled Relicta to be released on 29 January through Drumcode Limited. Relicta seamlessly unites the duo’s individual strengths, resulting in a dark and relentless barrage of pounding, hypnotic techno that takes listeners on an intense voyage into space.
