the whole biography
For the last decade, Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and musician Aimée Portioli, aka Grand River, has been circling the perimeter of electronic music and sound art, crafting heady electroacoustic soundscapes for acclaimed labels like Spazio Disponibile, Editions Mego, Caterina Barbieri's light-years, Ghostly International, Tresor and Umor Rex while simultaneously devising ambitious multichannel installations and rupturing the boundary between the gallery and the performance space. Most recently, she debuted Symphony for Endangered Birds, a 7-channel sonic examination of vulnerable bird species, at Essen's Museum Folkwang. Inspired by vintage kosmische music, film scores, experimental rock, ambient music and avant classical sounds, Portioli has devised her own unique signature, a vivid and painterly sonic landscape that's viscerally driven by the unconstrained emotional language she developed when she studied as a linguist. Using her advanced knowledge of analog and digital synthesis alongside subtle acoustic instrumentation, Portioli highlights shrouded emotions and complex themes; she crafted an achingly melancholy tribute to Editions Mego founder Peter Rehberg on 2023's All Above and in 2024 meditated on the idea of emptiness with Abul Mogard on In uno spazio immenso, an album that Resident Advisor described as "theatrical and emotional ambient with a post-punk edge." Portioli is set to return to Editions Mego in fall this year with Temporary, her most expansive and focused album yet. Painting over the musical outlines she displayed on its predecessor she meticulously seeks out more nuanced shades, balancing her billowing electronic textures and buzzing arpeggios with vivid melodies and thunderous rhythms. It's surprisingly direct, highlighting the interplay between Portioli's guitar work and advanced synthesizer processes. In 2025 meanwhile, her ambitious 2022 piece Tuning the Wind was finally packaged as an album for Mexico City's Umor Rex imprint after being performed live across the world and adapted into multichannel, 4DSOUND and stereo installations. Taking environmental recordings and tuning them to 440hz, her organic sounds blended seamlessly with her selection of synthesized elements, raising questions about the nature of sound itself - and the friction between humanity and the natural world. Her approach is bolstered by the connections she fosters and feedback she receives at her dynamic live shows. Performance is as important to Portioli as the compositional process itself and she's been able to present her work at some of the world's most prestigious festivals, such as Berlin's Atonal and CTM, MUTEK in Montréal and Spain's WOS, appearing at iconic venues such as Paris's Centre Pompidou, London's Barbican Centre and Berlin's Berghain. Portioli also runs One Instrument, a distinctive label with a singular focus: to prioritize music made using just one instrument. Since its inception in 2016, the imprint has released records from a wide variety of artists, including Felicity Mangan, Donato Dozzy and Morning Seance.Their RA profile lists Ghostly International, Editions Mego, Tresor, Spazio Disponibile and 2 more.often with Berghain, Alessandro Cortini, Jonathan Fitoussi, none of them here that night

Igarashi’s distinctive take on techno is on display across a series of EPs on Midgar and The Bunker NY, as well as on Semantica, Time to Express, and Bitta. Recent standout remixes of Aurora Halal, Volte-Face and Prins Thomas have further demonstrated his considerable talents as a producer. The same mentality is present in his performances, whether DJing or playing live, with his measured control of frequencies and intensities shaping the dancefloor as he explores the more psychedelic dimensions of techno. In this way, Igarashi’s considered approach is one that stimulates the body and mind, generating energy and emotion. Wata Igarashiは独自のサウンドを確立したアーティストだ。緻密なサウンドデザインや構成力を持ち、陶酔感とサイケデリックさを融合させたIgarashi特有のテクノは、MidgarやThe Bunker NYの一連のEPやSemantica、Time to Express、 Bittaのリリースで聴く事ができる。また彼のプロデューサーとしての才能は、近年のAurora Halal、Volte-Face、 Prins Thomasの傑出したリミックス・ワークでも顕著に表れている。彼はDJやライブといったパフォーマンスにおいても、制作と同じ精神性を持っていて、緻密な音響とエネルギーのコントロールでテクノのさらなるサイケデリックな次元を探求し、ダンスフロアを陶酔へと導く。Igarashiのアプローチは身体と心の両方を刺激し、強いエネルギーと感情を生み出す。Their RA profile lists Semantica Records, Time To Express, Gynoid Audio, Counter Pulse and 6 more.often with Berghain, Subb-an, Roi Perez, none of them here that night

With their slow-stepping, spacious urban dubscapes, Space Afrika harness ambient, Detroit techno and shades of early nineties Sheffield with a fresh and open approach to composition — this is dub techno stripped-down, sealed in a time capsule and sent back from the near future. Driving, echo-laden deep beats form the bed for a heavily subaquatic sound palette with undercurrents of cybernetic dread. Friends for almost 2 decades, the two Joshuas formed Space Afrika after years of listening to music together, sequestered by harsh Northern winters. Heavily inspired by the industrial architecture of Northwest England and notions of travel, their sonic framework evokes images of rust and disintegrating concrete, and sensations of movement and redemption — exuding a distorted analogue soul offering escape into their overcast skies. Closely associated with Brighton/London label, Where to Now?, who slink along a vintage axis of post-punk, On-U Sound, minimal and no wave influences, Space Afrika's diverse and creative radio shows (notably their residencies on NTS and Reform Radio) also display a breadth of curiosities in experimental and avant-garde music, old and new.Their RA profile lists Where To Now?, Dais Records and Sferic.often with Dopplereffekt, Nardus Williams, Hildur Guðnadóttir, none of them here that night
