Dragon of the South • Demon King Champion

Heavily influenced by his father who owned a music store, Talfelt began playing guitar at the age of 7 years. Discovering the world of musical instruments and with early support and help by his brother he started to jam around using a variety of different hardware and soon found himself being attracted to the realms of electronic music. Together and as 'Team Raw-Cut' they brought out their first EP shortly after.

Inspired by 90's Old School Rap and the skating culture one of his turning points was when he got his hands on an Akai MPC for the first time. Fascinated by the complexity and the possibilities of drum programming he learned quickly and began to elaborate his workflow and production style even more. With an almost fully analog studio setup, the project 'Talfelt' started back in 2017 as symbiosis of both, his musical approach as well as his well-routined and structured workflow resulting in an outstanding creative output with passion, care, and style.

While focussing on uplifting, diverse, and atmospheric Electronic & Techno he also works under his second alias 'Dioxid' which approaches more functional, tool-ish, and propelling styles. With his debut on Instinkt Lab followed by releases on Entourage Concept, Coded Platform, and Vitus' Curse the journey is only at the beginning with loads of projects waiting in the wings. Stay tuned.
