In the ever-evolving electronic music landscape, Kevin de Vries stands out as a luminary, crafting melodic techno masterpieces that echo through clubs and festivals worldwide. With a unique talent for melding musical intricacies, he has carved out a prominent place in the industry.

Kevin utilises the mesmerising and often transcendent potency of loops to captivate the dance floor. His close affiliation with Afterlife, where he has been a core artist since 2018, has provided a key platform to showcase his creative talent. Since his first release, Kevin has been part of the brand’s story, one which has unfolded to encompass a vast global community and a progressive ethos based on connection. Cuts such as ‘Dance With Me’ and ‘Metro’ have showcased his production abilities and distinctive style.

Kevin’s relationship with the label and event series also inspired the progression of his musical approach. The connection to his audience is the driving force behind his constant evolution. On stage, Kevin is a natural performer, matching the vibrancy of his music with his stage presence. Whether at larger scale productions, or more intimate settings, his aim is to form a symbiotic relationship with the audience - a mutual energy exchange that inspires Kevin, and the dance floor simultaneously.

Elsewhere, Kevin has released with Drumcode, Experts Only and Cocoon. With each release, he injects emotionally charged energy, combined with mesmerising beats and rhythmic arrangements. 

His unique sound has been featured in some of the most notable clubs, including Brooklyn Mirage NYC, Space Miami, and Hï Ibiza, as well as at world renowned festivals like Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Time Warp.

Kevin’s vision for the future upholds his community focused ethos - to connect with as many people as possible through his music, to keep finding new ways to communicate his message and, ultimately, to stay true to himself.

What does techno look like in its purest form? Clear in its structure. Credible in its message. With an insistent beat in the background. With its heart in the right place. And its melody in the tips of the never-ending goosebumps.Those who know, are aware of that. Those who can, do it. At Complexed Records they've only been doing just that since 2014. But they do it with a sound that embodies such determination that it could just as well come from the good old days in the beginning. That's primarily down to label boss Drumcomplex, who in this short period and with very few artists has established a reputation that has projected virtually every new release into the playlists of the major players. And in the process he and his label have themselves grown to become a major force.It's as if Complexed Records hit the nerve of an age which was not openly calling out for a powerful breath of techno past, yet still seems relieved to hear it. Or rather, to absorb it. Who would have thought a few years ago that once again a new techno label would be established and experience such a meteoric rise. But let's leave the past in peace. Let's look to the future. A glittering future with packed dance floors, on which visionaries once again celebrate music as a unifying element as they dance together into the early hours, with gratified smiles on their faces. And the sound they're dancing to? Complexed Records. Modern Future Techno.
