Liuos seemed to arrive on the dub techno scene all at once with Terms EP, his strong debut on Cold Tear Records, but this was the culmination of two decades of experimentation and discipline. A unique mix of power and spaciousness, of both longing and will, Liuos’ work stands out for its clarity and expansiveness. Working steadily from his modest studio in Finland, Liuos has quietly become a respected name in the world of dub techno, with releases on Cold Tear, Lucidflow, and spclnch, and remixes for Superordinate Dub Waves and Off Records (Belgium).

Having discovered Techno at the age of 9, Kranos embarked on a deep exploration of electronic dance music, focusing on  genres like Hardcore, Trance, Drum & Bass and Trip Hop. In 2007, he began DJing Drum & Bass, dedicating nine years to performing with a collective for large audiences, an experience that profoundly shaped his musical passion.

In 2016, inspired by Basel’s nightlife and club culture, he shifted his focus to ambient, deep and hypnotic techno, marking the start of a new musical journey defined by introspection and innovation. Since then, Kranos has pursued hypnotic, blissful experiences, making them central to his artistry while continuously refining his sound to create deep connections with his listeners.
