Ekko is a DJ and producer from southern Germany who captivates audiences with his unique, melodic, driving, and highly danceable sound. As the founder of the underground label LAPS Recordings, Ekko blends pounding techno beats with trance-infused basslines, emotional synths, and dark, melancholic atmospheres. His style spans Melodic Techno, Peaktime, Hardtechno, Trance, and Hardtrance – always powerful, always distinctive.

Born in 1997 near Ulm, Ekko was hitting drums before he could even walk. At just four years old, he stood in front of an audience for the first time, and music has played a central role in his life ever since. Besides drums, he taught himself multiple instruments and even produced a small album using a DAW at the age of 12.

After discovering electronic music, it quickly became clear that he wanted to be behind the decks. In 2017, he played his first DJ set on a local radio show – together with the crew members who would later co-found the club Gleis 44 in Ulm with him. Ekko remains a resident DJ there to this day and played a key role in the founding of Kollektiv Schillerstraße, Gleis 44’s official resident DJ crew.

During the first COVID lockdown in 2020, Ekko began producing his own tracks. His productions are defined by heavy kick drums, trance-inspired basslines, 303 acid elements, and signature melancholic melodies. Whether in the studio or on stage, he always manages to retain a unique character that sets him apart from other peaktime techno artists.

In 2021, Ekko also launched the duo project Mind Chemistry together with Hans Pech. The two met at Gleis 44 in 2020, where they’ve been playing together regularly ever since. After their first B2B set, it was instantly clear: the synergy was undeniable. With a musical range from Melodic Techno to Peaktime, Hardtechno, and Trance, Mind Chemistry delivers an intense ride through emotion and energy – sometimes dark, sometimes euphoric, but always on point.

In 2022, they co-founded the label LAPS Recordings alongside two fellow artists and soon released their first collaborative EP. After receiving great feedback and playing successful shows across Germany, they officially launched the duo, continuing to build a strong reputation with their dynamic and genre-blending sound.

Ekko has performed at renowned clubs and festivals across Germany, including:

Gleis 44, Roxy, Club Eden, Club Schilli, Club Action, Eins Tiefer (Ulm); Douala (Ravensburg); Bukowski (Heilbronn); Culteum (Karlsruhe); Club Toy (Stuttgart); Make Club (Fellbach); Lieber Scholli (Passau); Abdera & FreeFlow Festival (Biberach); Salt&Pepper (Pforzheim); 100Hz (Augsburg); Coppi & Ritter Butzke & Institut (Berlin); Pan (Hannover); 2takt Festival (Heidenheim); Schwarzer Adler (Egelsee).

Abraxa, Aisha, Alessia Cattani, Anett Gapstream, Ani, Anubix, Chris Liebing, Daniela Hensel, David Strasser, David Suono, DJ Hell, DJ Traytex, Dominik Eulberg, Eargasm God, Grace Thompson, Herbrido, HXTC, Isabelle Beaucamp, Jatra, Kerstin Eden, Ko:lab, Loraw, Lost Minds, Luigi Madonna, Melanchromie, Millie Forsberg, Moonwalk, Negitiv, Part Time Killer, Pappenheimer, Summit, Tanja Miju, The Enveloper, Trancemaster Krause, Tonino, Tritonus, Zeltak

Dúhas (DOO-has) — Derived from Gaelic term ‘dùthchas’ - Meaning ‘a sense of belonging’ to something/somewhere… 

Dúhas is the solo project of Scottish DJ and aspiring producer Craig Macleod — Marking a new chapter in his sonic journey. With a renewed drive to deepen his production skills and bring his creative ideas to life, Dúhas represents a shift toward fully embracing the craft of music-making and sharing it with the world.

The name Dúhas is derived from the Gaelic word dùthchas, meaning “a sense of belonging” — a concept that resonates deeply with Craig. Music has long been his constant, something he’s turned to through all of life’s highs and lows. Now, it becomes the focus of his next chapter.

After more than a decade in a demanding career, Craig is taking a well-earned break — giving him the space to recover from (hopefully) life-changing surgery and to finally invest the time and energy needed to realise his musical ambitions.

Since first stepping behind the decks in 2018, originally inspred by a fateful trip to Ibiza in 2016, Craig has cultivated a sharp ear for track selection, developing a deep and methodical digging process alongside a refined mixing style. Under the alias KYZ-R, he explored the worlds of techno and minimal. More recently, he has immersed himself in melodic techno, as the @CarnFada selector. His first major opportunity coming via a mix competition win to support Framewerk for TLF’s 10th birthday. Since then performing regularly as a resident at EVADE in Aberdeen and more recently appearing for Manchesters up & coming MELODIQ, whilst continually sharing mixes, some through channels like FFS and Housetape Radio.

Blending atmospheric textures, abstract soundscapes, and emotive grooves, KYZ-R draws inspiration from artists like Stephan Bodzin, Township Rebellion, Metodi Hristov, Nihil Young, Lauren Mia, and Oliver Huntemann to name a few, a long with labels such as Steyoyoke, Senso Sounds, Interstellar Recordings, and Stil Vor Talent.

Now, through Dúhas, Craig is stepping into a new & exciting creative space — channeling all he’s learned into a focused, personal project with clear intent and fresh momentum. With ambitions to carve out out a sound that’s emotional, ethereal & abstract - crafted to stir the senses and take listeners on an immersive journey through evolving rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes.

Let’s see where it leads.
