Kike am Radar / English
The unconditional passion for sound, motion and perfection defines the vision of Kike am Radar. And Kike is currently re-writing the rules for slowed-down and reduced electronic music by gluing together different influences, opening new spectrums and introducing the world to a new wave of slow burning down beats between minimal techno, dark disco and a breeze of rock music. 2018, the Dresden based producer and dj delivered his debut Testament ep on Dogs & Vultures, with releases on Ninefont and Chloe’s Lumiere Noire showing the complexity of his music: reduced, powerful, rough and delicate at the same time. But no matter what influences a new piece has, it always sounds like the Kike am Radar story.


Kike am Radar / German
Die unbedingte Leidenschaft für Klang, Bewegung und Perfektion definiert die Vision von Kike am Radar. Und Kike am Radar ist gerade dabei, mit diesem Credo das Regelbuch für entschleunigte und reduzierte elektronische Musik neu zu verfassen, den tiefgründigen und emotionalen Sound zwischen minimalem Techno, Dark-Disco und einer Brise Rock neu zu definieren und Einflüsse zusammen zu bringen, die vorher nicht miteinander vereinbar waren. Der Dresdner Produzent und DJ gab 2018 sein Debüt mit der „Testament ep“ auf Dogs & Vultures. Mit Veröffentlichungen auf Ninefont und Chloe´s Lumiere Noire hat er abgeliefert und spätestens damit auch über das sprichwörtliche Tal der Ahnungslosen hinaus gezeigt, von welcher Komplextität seine Musik erzählt. Reduziert, kraftvoll, roh und filigran zugleich und immer am Rande der Perfektion, so erzählt Kike am Radar – egal aus welchen Einflüssen sich der Sound gerade bedient – immer seine ganz eigene Geschichte durch die Klanglandschaften elektronischer Musik.

Ø [Phase] has been a driving force in techno for over two decades, leading the movement with his prototypical, stripped-back sound. Since cutting his teeth at Sony Music London as a mastering engineer in the late ’90s, he’s paved his way unapologetically, often challenging audiences in his relentless pursuit of pure artistry. His stark tracks exude an unbiased confidence that effortlessly commands the dance floor, ripening into quintessential classics. At a deeper glance, his music reveals an unseen complexity that seems to defy time and space—meticulously arranged and fervently produced with technical mastery.

Initially debuting on Steve Bicknell’s Cosmic Records, he became the principal artist of Token Records, eventually launching his own Modwerks label. Besides a steady stream of critically acclaimed releases under his solo moniker, Ø [Phase]’s expansive projects include ongoing collaborations with Luke Slater as Roog Unit and Phyxix alongside Matrixxman. He’s co-produced iconic tracks with UK legends Underworld and crafted definitive remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Scuba, and Rødhåd, but his momentum won’t stop there. Catch him touring extensively, headlining events at ADE, Berghain, Dekmantel, Fabric, and diverse cities across the globe. Ø [Phase] maintains his position at the forefront of techno innovation, continually redefining the essence of underground music.
