Music means for Robert since his youth more than only relaxation and enthusiasm. It is a joy not to exclude mystery and passion and from his life simply. Robert is a music. In search of his personal music direction it was first the Italo dance which fascinated him and which he met in numerous visits in various clubs.

Soon it became for him the habit to visit once a month his darling-vinyl shop in Udine and to poke around there. The destiny wanted that he found this shop on a day, unforgettable for him even today, closed. To have made the first disappointment, the then wide way free of charge, soon gave way to the curiosity own to him – nevertheless, there must still be something else – and thus he entered soon afterwards a record shop with name Zero Gravity. In the shelve he searched the Italo dance popular by him in vain – there stood excluding Techno vinyl – and this by the dozen. Hardly he had turned on the earphones over the ears, he entered another world which arrested him immediately and since does not let go any more. These were endlessly to many sides of the music which changed with every new record constantly, offered the propelling, unusual sounds, the immense possibilities, but  we remain with the destiny: the genre Techno has already totally conquered him at that time, at the age of 17 years, and has not let go till this day any more..

The initial enthusiasm soon gave way to a big obsession to create his own music, his feelings, thoughts and images come to life. Numerous lonesome, but the more creative hours followed in soon established own cellar studio and what came out, besides, could be heard really, event managers were contacted, demos were distributed and who wants to doubt which Robert soon had his first gig in the pocket. The Carinthians Technoszene was soon conquered in the storm and Robert further wanted, higher out about the borders of his native country. Together with DJ Sinus he attached the first contacts with the Croatian and Bosnian Techno scene. However, not enough, at the same time Sinus and Robert began a common live project with the name „Genetic of code“ and opened the Technoclub "decibel" in Velden at the Wörthersee. There followed gigs with Brenda Russel, Woody McBride and Umek which allowed to prick up the ears the scene over and over again. Afterwards both artists produced her first 12" on Dunloop Records.

On these true high-altitude flights it became generally quietly in the Carinthian a Techno scene. There were no more suitable events, during two years held the Techno a long sleep. But in Roberts cellar studio it bubbled only thus before new ideas, a sound more full of pressure originated, dynamically as never before, an extreme mix style and a bass-stressed Techno was born.

I'll be back, Robert spoke, brought new swing in the scene, Sleeping Beauty awoke and Robert founded together with Wolfang Lausegger the association "Southbeat". The starting signal was soon heard, loudly and, nevertheless, effectively, it there followed incredible events with Lucca, radio D Void, Marco Nastic, Toni of Rio, Eric Sneo, Brian Sanhaji and many more

After this successful event marathon it was time for the studio – again new duties and ideas were born and provided for thrilling supplies in the area of productions. This led among other things to release on Hybrid Confusion Records, Driving Forces Records and Speca Records.


No DJ knows today better than Robert Stahl, with his dynamic sets and his striking mix style how to bring the party scene to the cooking just to his personal, demanding version of the modern and future-oriented Techno sound how to thrill young and Jung-remaining people capable of enthusiasm to ovations. Actually we just want to hear more from him for the future….

Reinier Zonneveld's label: @filthonacid

Reinier Zonneveld Bio
When it comes to stadium-sized techno, Dutch tastemaker Reinier Zonneveld reigns supreme. Over the past 13 years, he’s emerged as one of the Netherlands’ most prolific producers, DJs, event organisers, and label founders. He’s become a beacon for a new generation of ravers, drawn to his fast-paced, bruising beats that fuse the sensibility of techno’s past with the cutting-edge sound design of its future.
But there’s more to Reinier Zonneveld than just a leading producer of acid techno. He’s the founder of the acclaimed Filth On Acid record label, who’s ranked #22 in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs and previously the highest new entry of the year, a Guinness World Record holder, an Edison Pop Award winner, and one of the most in-demand live acts in electronic music. Regularly performing in venues with over 25,000 visitors, his live shows have become a benchmark for the modern techno experience, powered by classic machines like the Roland 909, 101, and other synthesizers, which he manipulates in real time to create his signature soundscapes.
Reinier’s reputation as a visionary and pioneer extends far beyond his production. He’s the creative force behind the technologically forward-thinking R² Festival, where he became the first artist in the world to perform back-to-back with his own AI, just trained on his own music, enabling him to experiment with wild new technics on stage while he performs on his synths and drum machines. In 2025, he’ll take this groundbreaking concept even further with a 10-hour AI B2B live performance, featuring a holographic version of himself with real-time audio-visual manipulation — redefining what it means to perform live in the age of AI.
Classically trained on piano from the age of three, Reinier studied econometrics and earned two master’s degrees at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, where his devotion to electronic music first took shape. He began releasing minimal, experimental club cuts in the early 2010s — including ‘Vuur’, ‘Flashers’, ‘Find Muck’, and ‘Remember’ before unveiling his debut album, Reverse Psychology (2013).
By 2015, his sound evolved toward the darker, faster side of techno, showcased on Make Me A Promise and Final Judgement, and cemented with his 2016 album Megacity Servant on Stil vor Talent, featuring the hit ‘Things We Might Have Said’ with Cari Golden. His monumental fourth album Heaven Is Mad (For You) pushed him to new heights, featuring some of his biggest tracks to date — including ‘Dance With The Devil (The 6th Gate)’ (16M+ streams) and ‘Move Your Body To The Beat’ (29M+ streams).
Since founding Filth On Acid in 2017, Reinier has continued to shape the global techno scene, consistently holding the #1 position on Beatport’s techno charts and collaborating with artists ranging from Carl Cox, Speedy J, and Angerfist to Armin van Buuren and Oliver Heldens. Now approaching its 200th release, the label remains synonymous with innovation and quality, balancing underground credibility with global reach.
Recognised as one of the most productive producers in the scene, Reinier has amassed over 83 days’ worth of his own released music, a staggering testament to his creative drive and output. He has also played a pivotal role in shaping the sound and tempo of modern techno, being one of the first artists in the scene since to push BPMs beyond 140 to 145 in the second decade of the year 2000, setting a trend that has defined the genre’s energy since 2018.
In a live setting, Zonneveld is renowned for his marathon performances from a 12-hour set at ADE 2019 to the record-breaking 11-hour, 11-minute show at his own Karren Maar Festival in 2023. His technical mastery, fearless experimentation, and relentless energy continue to redefine the limits of what’s possible in live electronic music.
Reinier Zonneveld stands as one of the most forward-thinking and influential figures in contemporary techno — an artist who continually pushes boundaries, challenges convention, and leads the evolution of the global electronic scene.

News: www.linktr.ee/aitorronda.com

Aitor Ronda’s concrete roots can be traced back to 90’s techno. His personal commitment to the mutant and clubbing techno has been in force since 1996, when he began to play his first vinyl records. It was a few years later, in 2001, after releasing his first vinyl record along with Mark Williams, Ben Sims or Paul Mac … when Aitor decided to create his own Drakos (where he signed “Trilogy” alongside DJ Rush) and Upfront imprints too. Since then the Barcelona-based DJ/Producer has built a real solid music career -accumulates 20 years of experience- that culminates now with its new brand / project: WHACK. Important to remember at this point Aitor Ronda's mastery and skills both in the recording studio – in the middle of nowhere and where he spends hours and hours- and the DJ booth. Accurate techniques acquired throughout all these years playing his sounds at massive festivals and venues as Sónar, Monegros, Privilege, Space-Ibiza, Florida 135, Egg London and many more. In the same way as critically acclaimed published on record labels such as Terminal M (Monika Kruse’s label), Filth on Acid (Reinier Zonneveld´s label), Octopus (Sian’s label), or the mighty Tronic (Christian Smith´s label) without forgetting Pig&Dan’s own Elevate imprint, where he has been piling up a quite good bundle of absolute bangers and fantastic EPs. Including “Tweezer”, this track became TOP 1 of world techno best sellers in 2018. All this has consequences: a constant presence in all the techno / clubbing charts around the world, including essential platforms like Beatport. And getting massive support from the king Carl Cox, playing his productions around the planet. Quite an ‘orchestra director’ of the 21st Century. All this hectic life has led him to a constant evolution as a producer, DJ, label manager… and of course increased his passion for what he loves most. A true leader of a barrier-free techno sound, with a respectful but winning philosophy always.
