#158 | Insect O. (DE)

@insect-o composes music between ambient, dub and techno. In 1998 he founded the label @etui-records. His latest EP Sandstones came out in March 2023. In the tracks, he combines field recordings with rippling chords, soundscapes from his modular synthesizer and a fat bottom-end. But there is always more to discover. Besides his music, the Dresden-based artist shares a big passion for travelling. At the Atacama desert, he found the inspiration for his first full-length, released in 2018. With Melbourne’s @echoinspectors he recorded Bourne Dub and Bribie Dub, which has been released on Australian Primary [Colours] imprint. Insect O. is an old hand in Dresden’s electronic music scene. Enthusiastic about the radio show electronics on East German radio station DT64 in the early nineties he started buying records and making music at the age of 14. In the late 90s, he was a co-promoter and resident DJ of Dresden’s famous techno club Flugzeugwerft. Today he organizes workshops about music production for @davefestival in Dresden. DAVE Live Jam invites artists to bring their gear for a 2 hours music jam. Stay Rave with #R13!
