    the whole biography
    Kangding Ray’s complex sound aesthetic tests boundaries, evolving tirelessly in its exploration of texture, rhythm, and sound design. KR has remixed artists such as Martin Gore and Ben Frost on Mute, Battles on Warp, Oscar Mulero on Polegroup or Inigo Kennedy on Token. Letellier’s foundations in rock and musique concrete give his music a vitality and uniqueness that has won fans the world over, from discerning avant-garde–electronica listeners, all the way to devoted clubbers. Those who have been following Letellier since his debut album, 2006’s Stabil, will recognize not only his meticulous and constantly developing approach to sound design, but also the conceptual gravity behind his releases. Through a string of recent EP’s and albums, culminating with the critically acclaimed “Solens Arc”, KR showed his ability to keep his artistic approach while delivering direct and powerful club-leaning tracks and darkly cinematic soundscapes. On 2015’s “Cory Arcane”, he pushed the limits of his sound even further. Relinquishing standard rhythmic structures and conventional tonal models, he delivered what is perhaps his most sophisticated release yet; a raw and visceral universe, allowing a more fluid dialogue between soul and machines. 2017’s “HYPER OPAL MANTIS” released on Stroboscopic Artefacts heralds a new era for Kangding Ray, where he explores the tension between the natural and artificial, the body and mind, which are central themes in electronic music in general, and Techno in particular. The means of creation, focused around technology and interactions with machines, contrast with the emotional response to sound, the mystical ritual of collective dancing, and the ethos of liberation and tolerance embedded in the culture it has produced. As he describes it himself in a recent interview : “I’ve been evolving since a couple of years at the outer fringes of the club culture, where it overlaps with different experimental and avant-garde genres. While i intend to continue to explore that zone as a free maverick, i also wanted to give something back to the scene, something strong, beautiful and functional at the same time, while retaining enough personality to be exciting.” ( Adapted from words by Vincent Morris)

  • Vera Logdanidi

    Ukraine · 7 bookings since Sep 2025

    “Vera Logdanidi’s journey in the music industry began as a DJ in Kyiv, Ukraine during the mid-2000s.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Vera Logdanidi’s journey in the music industry began as a DJ in Kyiv, Ukraine during the mid-2000s. Since then, she has developed into a versatile producer, with her music released on respected labels such as Rhythm Büro, Semantica Records, On Board Music, Dial Records, Konstrukt and others. Her solo and collaborative tracks have been remixed by artists including Eric Cloutier, Artefakt, and Svreca. In addition to her DJ sets, Vera made her live debut at Draaimolen Festival, presenting another dimension of her artistic voice through live performance. She has also collaborated with Ukrainian producer Na Nich on joint live projects. Beyond her own productions, Vera frequently tours both domestically and internationally. Her dynamic range allows her to adapt to both intimate settings and large festival stages. She has performed at renowned venues such as Berghain, Panorama Bar, Bassiani, Tresor, Closer, ∄, among others. Her festival appearances include Draaimolen, Monument City Festival, Ickra, Strichka, Brave Factory Festival, and more. In her sets, Vera moves seamlessly between powerful, groovy, and mental techno, deep house experiments, ambient explorations, and occasional dives into broken beat and jungle, which hold a special place in her musical path. Vera’s artistic practice extends beyond the dance floor. Her audio-visual project VOICES (2022) was showcased at MU Hybrid Art House in Eindhoven, pushing her expression into multimedia art. In 2024, her collaboration with artist Bambi Benko was awarded the prestigious Brutus Prize. Their joint work combined Benko’s installation Earthseed with Vera’s sound design, creating an otherworldly atmosphere inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. Aside from producing and touring, Vera is also the co-founder of Rhythm Büro, a collective known for bringing top international artists to Kyiv. Rhythm Büro’s most unique project, the Natura festival, used to gather over 4,000 guests annually in a remote outdoor location. However, the festival has been on hold during the ongoing war. Vera was also a co-owner of 22:22 Studio, which began as a record label and expanded into a mixing and mastering studio (currently inactive). As an active member of the Ukrainian music community, she supports emerging and established artists alike. Her Kashtan project, which started as a radio show, has grown into both a label and a community hub, curating Ukrainian electronic music across genres. Alongside her artistic work, Vera shares her knowledge as a sound production lecturer at Skvot School, nurturing the next generation of producers.

  • Mattias El Mansouri

    Stockholm, Sweden · 5 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Born in the quiet village of Skene in southwest Sweden, the Moroccan/Chilean DJ and producer grew up in a world of structure and devotion before a new sense of purpose pulled him toward Stockholm.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born in the quiet village of Skene in southwest Sweden, the Moroccan/Chilean DJ and producer grew up in a world of structure and devotion before a new sense of purpose pulled him toward Stockholm. There, the co-founder and organiser of the Ritmo Liminal club concept shifted from collecting records to releasing his own and stepping behind the decks. His sound found its pulse: a blend of introspection and rhythm that lures you in rather than shouting for space delivering sounds that whisper, thump, and unfold like a slow-burning revelation. With a growing discography, El Mansouri’s productions move between deep, driving rhythms and rich, ambient textures that celebrate negative space. Galapagos, his collaboration with Swedish icon Dorisburg, leans into the latter, offering a more expansive, big-room feel, recognised by dance music pioneers. El Mansouri’s previous release, Tja Hej Salam on Aniara Recordings, showcased his ability to craft hypnotic, intricate tracks, while his contribution to Nous Klaer’s Paraels III compilation further demonstrated his range. Mattias’ journey began with cracked software and a pull to play, experiment with, and bridge different pockets of the dance music world. Rhythm became his foundation, first from following a curiosity for certain drum patterns and eventually laying them as the skeletal groove in his productions. This ethos bleeds into his DJ sets, which are as thoughtful as they are unpredictable. Seamlessly weaving house, techno, disco, funk, and global sounds, he crafts moments of tension, intimacy, and surprise, keeping listeners in suspense over what comes next. A resident at Stockholm’s revered Under Bron/Trädgården, El Mansouri has found a home in one of Sweden’s most important incubators of electronic music talent. This residency has shaped him as an artist, providing a space to refine his sound and connect with a vibrant community. Beyond his home turf, he has played at some of the world’s most respected festivals and clubs, including Panorama Bar and a standout back-to-back set with Hunee at Draaimolen. Mattias brings an honesty to his work that pulls away the curtain and invites us into his unique flavour of hybridism — music with underground depth and far-reaching appeal.
