It is with extraordinary honour that we are pleased to introduce today's guest. Chris Roman, aka 214, has a habit of getting lost in his studio, which happens to be tucked into the same mystical foothills as the David Lynch town of Twin Peaks, a location whose presence looms across much of Roman’s audio narrative, deftly playing foil to his creative heritage as a Miami native grounded in that area’s electro scene.
Since his production debut in 2002 Roman has cultivated a substantial discography of future dance floor thump and heady sci fi vapors with releases on notable labels such as Frustrated Funk, Klakson, Central Processing Unit (CPU), Shipwrec, 20:20 Vision, and Touchin Bass. He's also appeared on three Fabric compilations, including an exclusive track commissioned for Steffi’s highly lauded Fabric 94 mix.
Though clubs all over the world have hosted 214’s hardware-heavy live sets,including 3 performances at acclaimed Berghain, he’s also known for working dance floors with dexterous precision for anyone lucky enough to catch him behind the decks.
214’s upcoming projects include EPs for Frustrated Funk and a Science Cult V/A.

Which artists has influenced you the most? 
- This is a tough one to answer. I'm someone who loves consuming all styles of music in all genres. I think that is something that reflects in my music more than specific artists. I've been influenced by many over the years.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? 
- I just released an EP for Frustrated Funk about 2 months ago and have another on the way soon. Likely available at the end of summer/early fall. There's also a track I contributed to an upcoming Science Cult V/A that I'm excited about.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? 
- Relevancy is not something I'm looking for. There's a number of quality artists and labels who haven't released in a while who I still pull to play, but there's also a large number of new labels and artists releasing interesting music. What I love about the current state of music is how many artists are creating sounds based on mixing multiple genres.

What inspires you now to create music? 
- My surroundings and music from all genres. Inspiration is all around us.

What set-up do you use when creating music? 
- A combination of hardware and software. I find the secret sauce to come from both worlds.

Electronic Convergence Mix - August 2025

Sounds From NoWhere welcomes aboard the Greek dj & producer ANFS  (Vanila // Modal Analysis).

ANFS is an electronic music producer and DJ based in Athens, Greece. 
From an early age, he engaged in various musical projects, eventually gravitating towards electronic music, experimental electronics, and unconventional sounds during his studies in sound design. 
In 2012, alongside friends Kondaktor and 3.14, he co-founded the record label Modal Analysis, aiming to document and promote Greece's burgeoning electronic scene. 
Expanding his curatorial endeavors, he launched his personal imprint, Vanila, in 2015, further solidifying his influence in the electronic music landscape.

ANFS's discography showcases his evolution as an artist. 
His early work includes the Ground EP (2014) on Modal Analysis, characterized by its rhythmic intensity and incorporation of early 20th-century Greek folk elements. 
He continued to explore dark, industrial soundscapes with releases like Mass (2017) and The Age of Ephemeral Man (2018). 
In 2019, he released Havouza, further refining his signature blend of distorted textures and complex rhythms.
In 2021, ANFS unveiled #011 on Vanila Records, demonstrating a matured sound that seamlessly fuses experimental electronics with dancefloor sensibilities. 
The following year, he released the Seperator EP (2022), a six-track project that delves into experimental industrial noise, featuring tracks like "Klepsimo" and "Piperi," which highlight his ability to blend traditional motifs with contemporary electronic production.
Beyond his solo work, ANFS has contributed remixes for various artists and participated in compilations, such as his track "Amete" featured on the V/A release by Analogue. 
His collaborations and remixes underscore his versatility and commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
Through his innovative productions and dedication to fostering the Greek electronic music community, ANFS continues to be a pivotal figure in the experimental and industrial techno scenes.

We are glad to propose his kindly given set recorded on July 12th @ Astron Club in Athens.
Have a listen to this massive mix now and enjoy the ride! 🔥🔥🔥

Unknown Origin

Awakening nasce como a forma mais pura de HOOSTAGE revelando o que vive dentro dele: a conexão profunda com a arte e com o som.
O projeto marca o renascimento de uma mente que nunca deixou de criar, mesmo no silêncio. Este primeiro álbum é o selo definitivo do compromisso do artista com a música, um compromisso construído ao longo de anos, agora materializado em cada textura, cada virada, cada detalhe.

Nada aqui busca seguir tendência. A intenção é sentir. O disco carrega uma identidade que não tenta imitar nada; apenas se afirma. É música feita com consciência, intenção e história. Despertar não repete fórmulas: ele se posiciona.

A mensagem é simples e direta: escute sem pressa e permita que cada faixa revele o seu próprio significado. fragmentos.

Awakening is born as the purest form of HOOSTAGE, revealing what lives within him: a deep connection with art and sound.
The project marks the rebirth of a mind that never stopped creating, even in silence. This first album is the definitive seal of the artist's commitment to music, a commitment built over years, now materialized in every texture, every turn, every detail.

Nothing here seeks to follow trends. The intention is to feel. The album carries an identity that doesn't try to imitate anything; it simply asserts itself. It's music made with awareness, intention, and history. Awakening doesn't repeat formulas: it takes a stand.

The message is simple and direct: listen without haste and allow each track to reveal its own meaning. fragments.
