BIO:
I started listening to hard dance music in 1999, at the age of 12, the year I went to high school. My taste was pretty random in those early days. But soon the Bitte Ein Beat series would change all that. After purchasing vol.2 and listening it over and over, I knew I had found a new passion in life!

Back then, the term hardstyle wasn't even conceived. We called it hardhouse at first, but that actually never felt right. Luckily someone, somewhere, came up with the name for this new sound: HARDSTYLE! And it felt right immediately.

Hardgroove / Tech Trance / Driving Techno

Felix R is a producer and DJ from Australia predominantly focused on creating driving, hard edged, percussive forward audio. Having a passion for the technical aspects of dance music since his teenage years, his foray into production was a natural one, becoming a qualified audio engineer with experience with both live and studio work. Drawing upon elements from a multitude of genres to create a unique combination, his influences range from sporadic Tech Trance arrangements, gritty Electro baselines, euphoric Trance melodies along with the drive of pumping Schranz percussion. Consequently, his work has been released on over 50 various labels around the world.

Followed by ESA | Cosmic Synth Explorer | Music for Interstellar Minds

B I S – Back in Space (Marcus Seitz) is an electronic sound explorer who blends analog warmth with futuristic vision to dissolve the boundaries between music and the cosmos. Using a carefully curated selection of synthesizers – including the Sequential Trigon-6, Sequential Pro 3, Sequential Take 5, Nordwave 2, Nord Lead 2X, Clavia Nordlead A1, Access Virus Ti2 Polar and the iconic Korg Z1 – B I S crafts hypnotic sonic journeys that drift between galactic depth and emotional resonance.

His music is inspired by space travel, time dilation, and the dream of floating among the stars. Organic textures meet synthetic precision in a sonic language that moves effortlessly between ambient, space trance, and experimental electronica.

A unique milestone in his artistic journey: the European Space Agency (ESA) is among the select few who follow B I S on SoundCloud – a testament to the authenticity and depth of his cosmic vision.

Tracks like “Higher (Original Mix)” showcase his ability to build vast sonic landscapes with technical finesse and emotional clarity. B I S doesn’t just produce tracks – he charts acoustic star maps.

In addition to his music, Marcus Seitz designs VST skins for DiscoDSP, creatively bridging sound and visual aesthetics.

With every release, B I S invites listeners to leave the Earth behind – and return with open ears and an expanded mind.
