SIAN

Not many modern electronic producers can say they know as much about the architecture and social structure of a beehive as the chord structure of their own music, but then again, not many have quickly developed an oeuvre of work that has gathered the attention of labels like Dubfires Sci&Tec, Soma recordings, Paul Woolfords Intimacy, Pokerflat and Bedrock in such a short space of time either. Regarded as one of the most promising upcoming acts in the techno scene today, Sian has already been reworked and remixed by talent like Gui Boratto, Steve Bug, Efdemin, Minilogue and Pan-Pot and still so early on in his career,has toured all over the world.Rocking heaving crowds and bringing his trademark experimental DJing style to the masses via multiple outputs of explosive techno, fx and loops, cut up and edited live. His tracks instantly caught the ear of everyone from Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo,Loco Dice, Steve Bug to Sasha, John Digweed and Carl Cox, and have shown how a genre busting talent crosses over stylistic boundaries with ease. Appearances on very select labels, combined with his unusual DJing approach and acclaimed work on his own new techno imprint, Octopus, he is recognised by peer and press alike as one to watch. From international radio like the BBC to press like Djmag, Idj, Mixmag, Raveline, Xlr8, Resident Advisor etc, the praise for his feverish tracks and raw sound are unanimous. His DJ sets at international clubs and festivals in Europe, Usa, Canada, Eastern Europe, South America, Australia and beyond have seen memorable nights at pioneering clubs like Berghain, Secretsundaze, Tripod, Weekend, Hive, Nitsa, Mulletover, Compression, The Loft, Fusion Festival, The Endup etc etc, feature his marathon DJ sets, bringing real voodoo to the dancefloor every time. He is also now a showcase artist for Week-end club in Berlin, rolling out his trademark freaky style at the club and events regularly. When you have interests ranging from entomology, cosmology and marine biology to psychoacoustics and the social impact of the rave generation, you tend to make unusual art. Born in Dublin, Ireland, raised gypsy style in southern Spain and constantly moving cities, Sian chose early to drop out of normal society, make music and DJ. Adhering more to the avant-garde way of life, he stands out as a little more bohemian than the average electronic figure, a rare, flamboyant and eccentric new talent. Demand is now heating up for Sians remixes, with recent projects like Gui Boratto, Guy J, Audiofly, Simon Baker and Vegetable Orchestra Project (other remixers on this peculiar project are Anja Schneider,Luciano,Villalobos), he has illustrated a genuinely diverse sound and achingly sublime production technique. His biggest undertaking yet: his own forward thinking and contemporary techno imprint, Octopus, has kickstarted a whole plethora of main room stompers and left field underground bombs, with new tracks and remixes from esteemed names like Paul Woolford, Ripperton, Gui Boratto, 3 Channels, Norman Nodge, Jonas Kopp, John Selway, Exercise One, Roland M Dill and bright new talent like Calculus and Nico purman, the young imprint is already getting praised by DJs like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Dubfire, Loco Dice, John Digweed, Damian Lazarus, M.A.N.D.Y and much press rapture from Djmag, Idj, Mixmag, Resident Advisor, Groove, XlR8 etc. Whether conducting everlasting sweat soaked dj sessions or creating timeless dance music, Sian is a truly diverse and original talent,at once chic and debonaire,always intensely inventive...
