Born in 1989, Onofrei Bogdan Ionut (aka AVIRRA) discovers electronic music at the age of 14. Obsessed of techno music and house, in 2007 he starts producing music. After 2 years, he sends in 2009 his first song, “Bustle”, to an Italian label (Underscore). The track came out on a “Various Artists” record. In the same year his first Ep “Diffusion” comes out, containing three original tracks, at a German record label (Documenti Sonori Records). After no more than a month comes out the remix for Mollo, with the track “Fuck The Nanny”, launched at an Italian record label (Eklero Records). 2010 started with a lot of great tracks for Avirra, receiving many feedbacks from a lot of djs and producers, both Romanian and foreign. The most successful track was “Melted Acid”, launched in 2010 at the label (Punch Underground) from Argentina, the track being played by a famous electronic music artist, Richie Hawtin.
The artist began to mix in 2008 at various organized parties and clubs. 2010 was the best year for Avirra, when he started to mix in clubs and pubs like Red Carpet (for 5 months – Sibiu,RO), Orphee Pub(Sibiu, RO), Platinum Events Hall(Sibiu,RO),Kapital Club(DJ CONTEST 2010(Sibiu,RO),Cotton Club(Sibiu,RO),Mai Coffelounge(Sibiu,RO),Music Pub(Sibiu,RO),Oldies Pub(Sibiu,RO).

Taking inspiration from the 80's/ 90's: techno, house, speed garage, this production moves the term to the next level. Aud Tek likes to describe most of his productions as stripped down house/techno. An aim with a new perspective-this is the latest offering from Aud Tek pushing those boundaries that bit further.

Astor Bell is a netlabel based in Stockholm that freely releases exclusive and original electronic music in the minimal, IDM and techno genres. As we are open-minded, the above genres mean nothing and only act as a starting point; creative and forward-thinking artists will find a home on Astor Bell regardless of the immediate label put on them. Our mission is to offer smart, electronic-based music freely to the masses via the internet and the occasional physical release.

Astor Bell is run by Don Simon and Esa Axel. We float around in space but sort of have our office in Vasastan, Stockholm, Sweden.
