Welcome back to the Depth Perception Sessions. The gift that just keeps on giving 😉

This week we welcome a very good friend of mine to the show. Super talented German producer and all round nice guy.

Martin Merkel

Bio:

Martin Merkel is a somewhat mysterious figure within the European Techno scene. The maverick German producer has often stepped away from the egotistical glare of publicity, preferring his music to do the talking. He quietly creates his own self-described brand of “Soulful Techno”, steeped in complex emotions and with an attention to musical detail that comes from many years of dedication to his chosen craft.

Originally inspired as an artist by the experimental attitude of Italo Disco and the embryonic Techno scene, via parties at the likes if Dorian Grey and Omen (Frankfurt) and Tresor (Berlin), Martin Merkel’s nascent career saw him develop an early love of analogue synthesisers – and saw him fill his studio with a desirable collection of Moog, Roland and Waldorf machinery. In recent years he has moved towards a more compact, travel-friendly digital studio set-up, but his love of synthesisers remains a defining characteristic of his uniquely distinctive musical output today. A master of sonic excellence and musicality, his creations have previously often crept out on the likes of Cinematique, Bonzai, Secondary Tones, JOOF, Monkey Business, Neverending and his own Shelter 54 imprint. Now, under the auspicious guidance of Platipus Records the most exciting new chapter of his career is about to begin.

@Mouniss (a.k.a Mounish) grew up immersed in music. Early in his adolescence, he joined a music institution where he started playing guitar but he had to drop out due to time constraints. However, his ardor for music didn't stop altogether. He eventually discovered different genres of music and stumbled upon Electronic music.

Little did he know that his serendipitous discovery of Electronic music would set the stage for his future passion project. There was something so eloquent in those grooves that inspired him to become a DJ and he is now sharing the stage with other local heroes. Techno eventually became the hallmark of his music style but he also converged towards Organic Psytrance and Bush Progressive.

wise words by himself 

The most rewarding thing about the journey is making the crowd happy. DJ'ing is an art and through his music, Mounish endeavours to take you with him in the timeless state of pure rapture.

Music for the soul
- Mounish.

Cubex, born in Switzerland, discovered his passion for electronic music at a young age and began DJ'ing at 17. His initial interest in music quickly evolved into a deep passion for Drum&Bass and Techno. Over the years, Cubex honed his skills by performing at various local and national events while simultaneously organizing his own event series and co-founding the Drum & Bass label "Perkussiv Music".

At the age of 30, driven by a desire to take the next step, Cubex made the decision to temporarily step back from promoting and focus on producing music in 2010. His unique style is characterized by daring and creative beat combinations that reflect his musical roots and personal identity. By merging rhythmic and energetic House and Techno beats with hypnotic, psychedelic, and dark atmospheres inspired by Psytrance and Drum&Bass, Cubex has crafted a distinctive sound. He describes his music as "deep and twisted Psy-Techno".

Cubex's impressive discography boasts over 200 tracks, which have been released on more than 30 esteemed labels worldwide, including Zenon Records, AlpaKa Musik, Techgnosis, miniMahlzeit, Copycow, Lethal Dose, and many others. With each release, his international recognition has grown, resulting in an increasing number of bookings for gigs and festivals across the globe.
