Torture the Artist - your source for contemporary electronic music

Torture the Artist is a webzine, or a magazine made for the internet, geared towards those with a passion for contemporary electronic music, with subgenres including Techno, Tech House, Deep House and Eletronica, as well as a small amount of Indie and Alternative. Founded in 2014 by Holger Breuer, a German native and lover of the arts, Torture the Artist now consists of five team members from all around the world.

In addition to publishing interviews, music reviews, DJ charts and track premieres, the webzine hosts out a  podcast series called 'art:casts'. This medium gives DJs and producers the artistic freedom to highlight their different musical styles while not being restricted by factors such as setting, and connecting them to a wider audience. 

Being in its ninth year, Torture the Artist has gained a strong and active online support group, including music enthusiasts to label managers and artists themselves, creating a cohesive community with music as their bond.

Event by event, we build our Kommuna of like-minded people. A friendly and respectful space where the quest for musical excellence is the main priority. We enjoy inviting and collaborating with talents from every path of life! From young and up and coming gems to legends from the early days of the music we serve.

Our events have ranged from raves and after parties in secret spaces (villas, warehouses…), through vinyl markets and charity events, to club residencies and our own NEST festival
