their own biography
the whole biography
ENNIO is a Berlin-based artist who operates at the edges of genre and identity. Raised in Germany with Asian and Slavic roots, he developed his sound outside fixed roles and definitions. His music comes from that in-between space where identity is shaped by experience rather than tradition. Raw, rhythmic and built to move, with a signature bounce that needs no explanation. His breakout EP »Scacotteter« (TILT) introduced him as a distinctive voice in the global club landscape. Its standout track, »Gunung Padang«, merges Indonesian influences with Slavic vocal cuts and helped the release gain wide recognition among some of the scene’s most influential selectors. His follow-up single »Don’t Stop (Gimme More)« expanded that energy even further — playful and unapologetic, built around a cheeky vocal hook and the distinctive ENNIO bounce that became a crowd favourite. 2024 saw him contribute »Blok M« to A7A Records’ Lunar New Year Compilation, a project celebrating artists from across the Asian diaspora. That same year, »Bloody Beetroots« (TILT) arrived — driving yet fluid, a gritty track built for peak-time energy. 2025 began with »Chim Lạc Dan, Garuda!«, a collaboration with close friend and TILT ally HAMY, on A7A’s Year of the Snake edition. The track channels their Vietnamese and Indonesian backgrounds into a statement of visibility for Asian voices within club culture. Around the same time, he brought his sound to Berlin Fashion Week, teaming up with Sia Arnika and Lou De Bétoly. He was recently named “Artists Exciting Us In 2025” by Mixmag Asia. Beyond the studio, he is part of TILT, and co-founded his new platform BUTO BAYANG with HAMY in late 2025. The platform was featured in Mixmag Netherlands and Mixmag Germany, which explored the concept behind BUTO BAYANG and its vision for the future. In addition to hosting their club nights in Bali and Berlin, the platform curated a compilation bringing together artists from across Asia and the Asian diaspora worldwide, including his own track "Crave U". His DJ sets? Unpredictable, playful, and deeply instinctual. Like his identity, they resist singular narratives, drawing from a wide range of influences and ideas, yet always forming something distinctly his own. Blurring lines between genres and creating unexpected shifts in mood and intensity, he is known to enter into an almost symbiotic relationship with his crowd. From Säule (Berghain) and Radion to Faust, FVTVR, RSO, Macadam, and events such as Herrensauna and Musa, ENNIO’s sound continues to resonate across some of the world’s most forward-thinking club spaces.Their RA profile lists Defected Records, Patron Records, A7A and TILT.Recently at SAGE, RSO.BERLIN · often with HAMY, Laure Croft, N.R.M, none of them here that night

You didn’t know you needed it until you hear it. DJs’ DJ, or musician’s musician, if you will.

Resident of Drift Kyiv and Salo, he knows his techno, house, and minimal like ABCs and is not afraid to show it on the dancefloor. Catchy? Yes, maybe in the most primitive sense of this word, but also undeniably nuanced, sharp, and precise.

Mixing is baroque, technically dense but intentional, and the selection is heavy on vintage sounds; the past is endless inspiration.Recently at Giri, Revier Südost, Lark · often with OLHA, Nycky Estrella, Sergey Chernyshov, none of them here that night
