Next show: Barcelona, Fri 27 Nov
An underground, homegrown techno artist.
As a DJ and producer, Ian approaches every set as a journey where track selection and mixing merge into a single narrative. His three-deck setup allows him to layer rhythms and sounds, creating dynamic transitions and maintaining constant tension on the dancefloor. The result is a precise, immersive sound characterized by a progressive build-up of energy. Ian brings this same vision to the studio. His productions explore a raw, unadorned techno style, blending percussion, synthesis, and analog-style textures to craft tracks with weight, depth, and distinct character. He is driven by the quest to define a signature sound—one that is instantly recognizable yet constantly evolving. For Ian, producing and DJing are two sides of the same coin: exploring sound, experimenting with rhythm, and discovering new ways to generate energy through techno.
Ian Margalef plays raw, underground techno characterized by driving percussion and analog-style textures, as heard on his Hyouka EP.
Ian Margalef utilizes a dynamic three-deck setup in his DJ sets to layer rhythms and build a continuous, high-tension narrative on the dancefloor.
