From the very beginning, Tassilo was there. When Electric Shapes was still finding its footing, he was one of the first artists to believe in the project. Under his former alias 1989, he delivered one of the earliest podcasts for the platform — a gesture that would set the tone for years of artistic synergy to follow.

Based in Frankfurt, Tassilo’s sound evolved and matured as he shed his alias and began releasing music under his real name. With his signature style — dreamy, hypnotic, and slow-burning — he soon caught the attention of the international scene, including a standout EP on the acclaimed Neubau label. But even as his profile grew, his commitment to Electric Shapes never wavered.

He was the very first to accept an invitation to perform at an Electric Shapes event back in 2020, marking a pivotal moment in the label’s journey. And when the pandemic hit and Electric Shapes transitioned from a collective into a full-fledged label, Tassilo once again showed his unwavering support by contributing music for release — not just once, but consistently.

Since the launch of the Unreleased Territory compilation series, Tassilo has been part of every single edition. Whenever a remix was needed, he was the first to say, “Yes, of course.” His solo EP on Electric Shapes became one of the label's early successes, helping to build its reputation and audience.

It's no exaggeration to say that without Tassilo Vanhofen, the evolution of Electric Shapes would be hard to imagine. He’s been there at every key moment — a true cornerstone of the label’s story.

There is an old primal feeling which seems to emanate from Aleksandr L. As a youngster he used to love sharing tapes amongst his friends and family: sharing is caring… Maybe music served as some form of escapism to the cold and grey Lithuanian weather?

His next step and natural evolution from analog to digital gave place to a podcast series: Electric Shapes. Another remedy in the form of music which eventually turned into the label of the same name, thanks to his partner in crime Jokios Kulturos’s prolific contributions. The sound of Electric Shapes is clearly aimed at an open minded dancefloor bridging the long gone days of alternative raves with the clubs of today. Amongst a continuous (broken) beat the catalogue is also peppered with some more downtempo and relaxed tunes which are a perfect partner to the end of the night or the start of a new day. The main purpose being to spread the love and bring peace through sound: Music is the cure.
