TECHNO

Classic modern techno is exactly what Sian and his label Octopus represent. When you have interests ranging from entomology, cosmology and marine biology, to the social impact of the rave generation, you tend to make unusual art. Sian stands out as a little more bohemian than the average electronic talent.
Born in Dublin, Ireland and raised in southern Spain, he chose early to drop out of normal society and engage in the extraordinary. Adhering more to the avant-garde side of club culture, his tracks show an otherworldly, slow and hypnotic slant on big speaker electronic music. Having quickly developed an oeuvre of work that appeared on stalwart labels like Soma, Pokerflat, Bedrock and Aus before starting his own imprint,He has been reworked along the way by talent like Steve Bug, Pan-Pot, Carlo Lio, Nicole Moudaber, Efdemin and Minilogue.
After eventually deciding to release exclusively on his own white hot, new Octopus Recordings label, with tracks constantly hitting Beatport top ten positions and gathering glowing reviews, the label has now become one of the top 5 selling Techno labels worldwide. Catching many major league artists on the way up with much attention from print magazines and web blogs to international radio shows. Both Sian and the labels' reputation for delivering huge slabs of peak time techno is snowballing.

DJ Mix #378 - Sian (Live PA)

His musical creativity and innovation has always been latent throughout his life. So in around 2006, Ramiro made the leap to music production, researching and acquiring knowledge, experiences, sharing concerns with other artists and gradually defining his melody. Creation became a way of life for Ramiro. His music is not just Housemusic or a single style; there’s a whole mix of different styles such as RnB, downbeat, disco, funk, jazz, tech and groove… with the purpose being to have a good time, share and enjoy the dance floor with everybody.

Getting back into the VA operators chair,label boss Sian returns to our anarchic comp series with an extra long running (almost 2 hr) seamless blend of brand new music from the cream of worldwide techno subculture.Gliding through heavy,rough edged,and angular peak time tracks to the washed out hazy rollers,he has immaculately procured the wide ranging selection and pumped the mercy out of the tracks with the signature heavy compressed and solid low end the label is now famous for delivering.Outerspace vocals mash into huge synth shapes,workout kick drums and complex percussion rip through a canvas of hi tech future boogie very reflective of Sian ́s own DJ sets.

Sian presents Without restraint-Continous mix -Octopus Recordings

For those of you who remember Sian’s outstanding ‘Dreams Are Maps’ on
Bedrock Digital last summer and Psycatron’s stunning remix of Mutant
Clan’s ‘Persuader’ on John Digweed’s ‘Structures’ album, you
will no doubt be chomping at the bit to get your ears around the first
must-have tag-team release of 2011. This is HOT!!!!!

Sian’s feverish style and raw sound brings real voodoo to the dancefloor
and his trademark aesthetics are hard to match. Regarded as one of the most
promising upcoming acts in the techno scene today, Sian is already touring
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 catch the ears of
everyone from John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Sasha,
Loco Dice, Steve Bug to Carl Cox, Secret Cinema, Hernan Cattaneo, Dubfire,
and have shown how a genre busting talent crosses over stylistic boundaries
with ease. That is why he is so suited to the Bedrock label, with its
forward-thinking music policy.

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 from city to city, 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 artist, a rare, flamboyant and eccentric new talent, and
one we would urge you to investigate further. Sian is a truly diverse and
original talent.

Psycatron, aka Northern Irish duo Paul Hamill & Dave Oost Lievense, produce
21st century techno with tracks that combine relentless energy and groove
with bundles of emotion and tension, to make for an all-encompassing sound
that is perfect for those big arenas and club rooms. Their high profile
productions are released on some of the world’s most respected labels,
receiving props from some of the biggest names in the business and record
sales flying high in the Beatport charts. Fergie (Rekluse), Carl Craig
(Planet E), Christian Smith (Tronic), Will Saul (Simple), legendary Belgian
label R&S Records, have all featured stunning Psycatron tracks, so it seems
fitting that they have now linked up with Bedrock.

As the list of Psycatron supporters continues to grow, it starts to read
like a who’s who of quality underground electronica with everyone from
Ewan Pearson to Joris Voorn, DJ Hell, Dave Clarke and even Martin L Gore
from Depeche Mode all getting on board.
